What would PE look like if Obsidian catered to the worst of us?

Turn based games are the best games, Civ series, Total War, and Infinity Engine games are the best games ever made in the RPG and Strategy genre.

 

Last I checked, Chess and Monopoly are also turn based, and those are the most popular board games out there. And poker and every other card game.

 

Monopoly is terrible and you're terrible for presenting it as an example of a good game.

 

...also did you just present the Infinity Engine games as examples of turn based games?

Monopoly is great, best app I bought on my smartphone.

 

Pause and play is similar enough to turn based.

Given that RTwP is often the thing that is presented as the direct alternative to turn based, (see: the current discussion at the Torment: Tides of Numenera site) I'd say it's not actually similar enough.

Giant linear hallway with 90% cutscenes and 10% cover-based combat. And QTEs. And all the characters are burly white dudes ©.

Is this a stealth "Call Other People Stupid" thread?

Mages would be ridiculously powerfull (put those of second edition to shame). Walking Avatars of whatever binds universe and reality together. Also no intelligence required, more of a sorcerous thingie with ability to choooooseeee spells at ready!!!. Becouse whats intellingence got to do, got to do...with it! There is no such thing as balance. Mages rule. All other setient beings, bipedal or not with intelligence higher than your avarage animal or human recognise this as a natural order of things. Finally there is no such thing as balance!
