Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out [email protected] for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

One benefit of RTwP is (at least combined with the typically poor AI of the time) that you can sort of get past trash encounters rather quickly. In true turn based there is really no such thing as an easy and quick encounter. Unless you can literally one-shot stuff, I guess.

Naah. I was always taking perk where it costed 1 less AP to shoot and used an smg.
