One of my biggest #gaming pet peeves in #RPGs: #helmets, #hats, #caps and #capes.

Don't get me wrong, if the #stats are good, I'll equip them. But 99.9% of the time I will immediately hide them visually if the #game allows it.

A rogue's worn leather cap, a #thief's hood, a #warrior's iron bucket on their head... all hidden. The only exception? If an #armor piece genuinely looks stunning, we're talking a truly unique, well-designed #outfit that actually fits the #character.

A carefully designed #character face buried under generic headgear? Not on my watch. A #cape flapping around like they're auditioning for a #fantasy theatre production? Also hidden.

#Immersion is visual too.

Steam :: Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous - Enhanced Edition :: Owlcat Dev Kitchen – How do We Write Romance

What do people love most about CRPGs? Many people would name various roleplay opportunities and choices. Others love character-building or tactical battles. But for most people, a stand-out feature is the opportunity to build romantic relationships. People love vibrant, lively characters: getting to know them, shipping, and making headcanons. In general, people enjoy playing this game of love. As a CRPG developer, we put a lot of effort into the narrative side of the game. But how is it made?

I want to play #crpg but I don’t want to micromanage 6+ characters…

Kleines Reminder: In Baldur's Gate 3 könnt ihr Astarion im ersten Akt einfach sterben lassen und dann weiterspielen, als wäre nichts gewesen. Das Spiel urteilt nicht. Ich schon. 😤

Aber im Ernst – die Freiheit, komplette Whoopsies zu machen und trotzdem eine kohärente Geschichte zu erleben, ist eigentlich Larian's größtes Designwunder.

Done! 🛡️ ✨

Actually, I was missing the shield to complete the Valor set.

I might stop here (even though I really want to play Grimrock 2 too!)

And the Dismantler sword is now mine! ⚡️

I also got the last piece missing from the Valor set: the helmet.

One last challenge to complete... (I can't remember if I did this in my first playthrough)

Legend of Grimrock finished! ⚔️ ✨

I was really close to the end the first time I played it.

I loved it 🖤 I'm still playing it a bit to uncover some secrets.

So, based on the achievement I just unlocked, this is the first time I've made it to this area 😈
