Wrong forum fakkitwe got:
-a warg
-a ruthless killer
-a warrior who scoffs at authority and don't give a fukk about an oath to the black
-a future queen coming into her own in this game of deceit and the finest piece of ass in all the lands
you got:
-debts that can no longer be paid bc you broke. iron bank still got ya back??
travel through and loot a dungeon, find some legendary weapons or spells, murk some dragons, rinse wash repeat, i gotta feel like im doing something for a real story-purpose in order to be into it 
It highlighted a problem with a lot of JRPGs. FFXIII was linear as fukk. Didn't open up at all for a long ass time. Casual gamers or younger RPG fans new to the series were probably put off from visiting some classic games if that was their first FF game. Damn shame.
I feel as though I can go into a game expecting or anticipating something. If I play Skyrim, I know story is irrelevant, because I'm probably not gonna be halfway through the story by the time I hit 50 hours. The story for me there is the character I"m creating in my imagination. I make my decisions and responses based off of what I think my character would be like. Like....in my current DA:O game, I'm playing a human nord named Aryai must be one of the only nikkas who got tired of open world games :smhcraig: im more into dope stories, i'd rather have a game with a good, long, linear story, than an open world game with a short-medium length main story(usually with a wack ending) but a shyt load of sidequests
like i played skyrim and gta 5, the stories were aigh but i really aint give a shyt about the characters at all, second i beat it i stopped playin it cuz the sidequest are boring as hell, do some hot shyt, escape the cops, rinse wash repeat
even with some shyt like sunset overdrive, while it looks dope im only concerned about the story, hopefully they have dope side content but that's not gonna make or break the game for me
seeing how much time square is spending on FF15 and KH3 got me anticipating some fukkin PIFFNomura knows he gotta show his ass or square-enix is gonna be over
i know, but those games gave you SO many options that i think you can't really do much more imoI feel as though I can go into a game expecting or anticipating something.

I answer the questions how I think he would. I killed that gay rogue that tried to assassinate you and tehn join up because no way would Arya Stark let that nikka live after trying to assassinate her. Nerd shyt like that. My last game of Skyrim, I created a character named Dunk based off Ser Duncan the Tall from the ASOIAF prequels. And I acted as he would. A godddamn TRUE KNIGHT. Its hard as fukk making those decisions in game when theres easier, more delicious feeling options right there. I dunno, dude. With those sandbox games where they just let you GO, I do exactly that and with my imagination, I stay so fukking occupied.
If a game is trying to force all this story on you tho, especially if you can't customize your main character, Im not feeling it. So like Watch Dogs. Aiden whatever is bout the lamest main character to come out in a while. I can't fukk with the game mostly because of that. Honestly, TW2 has some of that too. I don't fukk with Geralt heavy, not only that, but the story doesn't grip me. So I can't get engrossed in the story. I can't get engrossed in "being" the character. Nothing left for me, mane.
I am drunk and rammmbbbbbling
so these other games need to just leave that open world concept alone
and i demand you delete and start over the right way, back stabs on deck the entire game, yes im talkin about dragons and dragon priest too 
lmao my dudei know, but those games gave you SO many options that i think you can't really do much more imo
as far as watch dogs and whatnot, you can just chalk it up to it being a shytty game with a shytty story, but that's my point, I realized that alot of companies are doing that now BECAUSE THEY KNOW they can just sell most people with the open game concept....Uncharted and Last of Us are damn near the DOPEST games of the past generation because they focused on making a PIFF story instead of open world side content bullshyt to distract you. nobody would've remembered Joel, Ellie, or Nathan Drake if you were able to completely customize those characters, you woulda felt no real connection to the story cuz you'd know it was just a character you made up, no past, no motives, nothin
yes you are drunk and going ham right now
and if your nord isn't a midget female character in the Dark Brotherhood then you fukked up
. I still enjoyed it though and visually it was pretty amazing.This. Some people need to stop associating RPGs with turn based combat and anime storylines. Its bigger than that
THIS.
I prefer turn based in my JRPGs honestly. FFX and Persona 4 are perfection if you ask me. NI No Kuni's combat was dope tho and I hope to get a chance to finish or replay that game someday.THIS.
turn-based is just a style of combat, i prefer real-time combat systems like in KH, although i thought the systems in Crisis Core/FF13/Ni No Kuni were decent
