    Best traditional expansion pack? (no DLC garbage please)

    LoD was great, but I detest those accursed Runewords that make a mockery of every Rare and most Unique items. And every bleeping build guide is centered around them. Armaggedon's Blade and Shadow of Death for HoMM3 too were great, mostly for the added monsters, items, abilities and more...

    Incline I get vibes some times. I usually don't tell others about them.

    And then he married one.

    The mindset of professional Diablo 2 players is scary.

    Incline Skill systems (you really liked)

    Agree with this. Guessing "a game designer's arbitrary moon logic" makes the game too close to an Adventure game.

    Not even Median XL?

    Incline RPG Codex's Best RPGs - 2024 - VOTING IS CLOSED

    The very ugly character models of D2 Resurrected (at least the Paladin and the Amazon) probably contributed to this shift.

    What kind of necrolord fails to mention lifesteal?

    Solo vs. Party-Based

    Force? It's up to the player how many times he will play. You may want to only play once, or only the ones that sounds more fun or powerful, or you may want to try most of them.

    Solo vs. Party-Based

    Depends on the game. The less story focused and more Rogue/Diablo-like it becomes, the more replayability.

    Solo vs. Party-Based

    If I have to choose only one of the options: party.

    Dungeon Siege - How the hell was this ever popular?

    Most games are linear. It's only when it's literally on rails, like the first Splinter Cell game, that it becomes a major problem IMO. If you mean that literally, yes, but you don't use mages for healing, but druids. The problem with druids is that they level so slowly, but their healing...

    Heroes of Might & Magic III 20th anniversary

    What advantage does VCMI have over the HD Mod?

    RPGs allowing you to invest skill points freely

    It's a game. It's an abstraction. Other games try to be more of a simulation. Both works. Play, and don't overanalyze.

    Gold Box SSI's Gold Box Series Thread

    You pretty much need two guys with DBF and 18 DEX in that final battle, and some luck with Initiative. Last time I played my Ranger/Mage was last man standing (Mirror Images tipped the balance). The Beholders are not too bad if you know the right tactic against them (don't get too close). And of...

    Top 10 Manliest Game Characters (2024 edition)

    It's a role playing game, so JC can be anything. Which is why his voice is kind of unemotional and ambigious.
