Things you want and don't want in your RPGs

[Vyk]

Can't exactly put it into words, but if there's one thing I don't want, it's whatever happened to the character designs in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. So I guess I just want Japanese devs to keep the porn out of the regular, non-porn video game genres, thank you. Especially from series I enjoy.

Ah yes, all that hardcore porn in Xenoblade 2.

Not having played the game, this prompted me to do image search for screen shots and art assets, and I can see it. He's speaking in hyperbole of course, but it does seem to languish a lot more on skin tight clothes and large breasts and needless pieces of skin flash. Most of what I see doesn't really look so much as outfits as they do your typical anime bodysuit/bathing suit/bikini armor. And looking back at Xenoblade 1, they definitely had noticeable cleavage and pieces of skin showing, but the things they wore looked like actual articles of clothing and outfits real people could/would actually wear

Co-op - I would love for some RPG developer to create a game designed for co-op on the level of Portal 2, where it basically requires two people from the start, or at least caters to that option with pretty much full integration on par with, say, Borderlands. I remember playing a PS1 game that was designed to be played with two people. It was rubbish, but it was so much fun. Let's get a game designed like that to modern AAA standards, and actually be good, too.

Have you played Divinity: Original Sin? An entire massive western RPG that may not have been designed specifically for co-op, but it was designed specifically to cater to co-op. And the sequel was designed specifically for co-op. And they both do an exemplary job
