Well one game has a thought-provoking plot, exploring deep philosophical themes and ethical dilemmas that are rarely touched upon in video games with richly developed characters who have fascinating backstories that tie into the overarching plot in interesting ways, and the other has a wacky talking skull sidekick so its really not a fair comparison.';

'>>3480707
agreed, Xenogears could really have used a wacky talking skull';

'>>3480707
I ended up dropping both of them because I hated the gameplay, but one had silky smooth prose with well-developed characters, while the other one had atrocious dialogue straight out of YA fiction. Can you guess which is which?';

Long RPG campaigns are inherently mechnaically poor. Your strategic choices are essentially all made in your build, which means you have most fun before you play the actual game, rather than in the course of playing it. This is solved in, among others, roguelikes/roguelites where one game - one build enables you to try out many different builds and in better ones forces you to adapt your build to randomy generated circumstances or tactics games which enable you to get your goons killed or replaced with better built ones along the campaign.
>Why aren't you reading books?
Books can't react to your choices. Why aren't you playing mechanically deeper games than cRPGs?';

'Any way to circumvent the combat system at all? Or should I just get over it and enjoy the game for the payoff?';

'>>3484894
There are like 2 or 3 obligatory combat situations, but avoiding some of them is a hassle in itself. But the XP and abilities you can get outside of combat can make you good enough to win by auto attacking anyway.
I'd say the payoff is worth it in general';

'>>3484894
>enjoy the game for the payoff
If you aren't enjoying the game at the start you definitely aren't going to enjoy the unfinished shitty final third of the game. The beginning is the best part and it just gets worse and worse from there. Why do younglings fall for this boomer meme?

And if you do choose to continue, well the reality is most people choose stats to avoid as much combat as possible while becoming a busted mage by prioritizing WIS, INT, and CHA in that order.';

So much for a fleshed out DnD setting, but makes sense. Guess I won't bother then.
>Why do younglings fall for this boomer meme?
Recently saw it mentioned when checking for RPGs that have a more complex moral system for the player to choose from, as opposed to the cartoonish-tier "villain" paths that a lot of games have.';

It’s a good game that becomes a mediocre one in the second half (just like every cRPG ever besides Fallout 1.) The story is definitely. Yes, it probably has the best writing (as in prose) of any video game but its plot and characters are really just above average. The developers admitted that a lot of the supposed deep themes are just things its fans have read into the game and were not intentional.';
