@J1M what am I supposed to be nominating

How about Pathfinder: Kingmaker?

[Tadeusz]

Is there any criteria for nominated games? Are obscure games legit? What are overall preferences?

[1998]

I am going with Mars: War Logs next vote.

I believe anything Fallout and later is fine. For games older than that we got the classic AG

Oh and someone the other day pointed out that not everyone has a beefy PC, making lightweight games more accessible.

Newer than Fallout and you have to believe in your heart that it's an RPG

If people can't run it, it shouldn't win polls

Inventory management feels good in this game

[Tadeusz]

Alright, let me nominate Dawn of Magic. It's a slavjank Diablo-like game that's been on my mind lately. I played it a long time ago but I still remember some of the features - a mechanic called "morphs" that changes your character's body parts appearance if you use magic of a certain type often and gives you some stat bonuses and another mechanic of alignment that changes which temple assists you (not all locations have both temples so some locations may be more difficult) and also I believe gives unique game sequences. It's more of a wild card choice but it may be fun.

Oh, I thought you were waiting for a specific game to come up because you kept trading your vote.

@Oyster Sauce what's the cutoff date I have to nominate?

Yes, I am planning to nominate Darksiders for October.

[Tangerine]

Since we're already doing nominations, Arcanum.

Went from 5-9 3AP punches to 8-17 2AP punches. By God, gear is everything

You won't get a weapon that has better AP than the knuckleduster you're using right now, but you'll want to get one of the higher tier gloves for the armor piercing they have. Keep those 2 AP ones for trash enemies, though.

I even got a Steam achievement for doing this, I thought it was flavour text as it is so often the case (which causes me to waste a lot of time and nothing happens) was very glad this time was real, though I am not strong enough to follow through with the consequences yet XD

Heard about it but never summoned. I believe some special weapons may help against it like a stone knife or a wooden rifle.

I don't remember how I beat it, but I have the achievement

I do remember it being one of the harder fights, but ATOM is one of the few RPGs that actually gets difficult the longer you play.

I have the wooden rifle (at least, an AK made of wood), but the character only does sound effects when I used it when I first got it, will try it on the guy just for fun then, thank you! Would be hilarious, but on par with the hallucinations, if it would actually work XD

Stone tool from Underworld (roaring forest, SW of map) can be turned into a stone knife that's good against "horrors".
The rifle does nothing to anything. It only serves to antagonize people into attacking you.

****, that would be a good use for the wooden rifle. I guess usual automatic firearms are more effective then. Can guards be aggroed to that thing?

There's only three of them normally, and two are on the other side of town.
The near one has a SMG if I recall. He's not very good.
The mayor's guard is pretty formidable, but the never moves.

@wndrbr do you know if this(the stone tool/knife) is a reference to something?

Hahaha had a random encounter with some bandits and a bomb I looted off 'em was armed. I did hear the bandit mention it, but I noticed nothing odd about the bomb's description so I just took it as flavor text.
Thing went off in my pocket as I was about to leave the area. troll devs can be funny.

The merchants in Kakroznanosmmy are more cutthroat than any bandit

I have started to use the pharmacy and hospital as my merchants quite a while ago due to the outrageous prices and noticing they give a much better price. Now that I can kill without being killed as easily I just dump things on those merchants also as the sheer volume of items I own allows me to buy things anyway, but it is a real hassle dealing with them I love the feature though, someone I met in the game even told me to never buy anything in that city (which I love is reflected in the game and not simple "flavour text"), fortunatly I already had things sorted by then and even had found a better merchant in the sewers/catacombs.

[Tadeusz]

Merchants in random encounters are good, I remember them having plenty of money and giving good prices for my goods.
Also, a funny spelling of Krasnoznamenny
