Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

Who's got time to upgrade their gear when there are adventures to be had?

Don't put words in my mouth.

That you? :

The gear being underpowered is a symptom of this design issue.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or just don't understand my argument. The gear issue is a symptom of the bad design (which is exactly what I said before), just like how a fever is a symptom of the flu. The problem is the design, the gear is one way that problem manifests.

I honestly cannot tell if you just don't want to admit you changed your position or you are just stupid enough to belive you didn't.
