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?

That's kinda how I took it. I prefer that in some open world games. I want areas that are harder. Give me a reason to bother getting better gear. And if I want to muscle through a tough area with underpowered shit, let me do that too.

Something like GTA, there doesn't seem a point other than maybe there is difficulty because numbers of enemies or something like a military base where enemies are expected to be trained. But in a fantasy setting where there are different monsters in different regions it makes much more sense.

Honestly irritates me when I can walk my happy level 2 ass into the final boss area and easily fight dragons et cetera with little to no issues.
