The Flaws of HOI4 Roleplay

HOI4 Roleplay has some problems.

[@erikblue7842]

It's insane that every problem you brought up is still completely present in Stellaris, a game literally made to be a story generator. Amazing video

[@maxs.5112]

Trying to get a RP stellaris game going very much crushed me so bad that I had to step away from the entire game for a long time. Its so hard to RP when everyone is playing a meta, and you are playing either a 1 Planet civilization, or a (almost) purely religious empire.

[@dingusbingus2888]

I like to make the comparison to joining a random table for dnd. You know you'll get shit for a while but you'll always find that singular player that loves to play the game like you do and is just an absolute roleplay Chad. Collect them like pokemon and slowly make your own table and you have a shit tonne of hours of untapped roleplay to indulge in. Stellaris is the same for this. The wall of goblins playing the meta builds and shitting on others at the start of the game is a given. But the friendships you make with the select few once you find them makes the struggle worth it.

Hoi4 MP is best done with friends tbh. The more people in the match and the less known about each other is the more and more chaos and the "I gotta be better" mentality grows

[@NoFlu]

So true. The only time "competetive" MP is fun is when somebody is completly abusing the system, which is the exact opposite of what most MP mods try to do. Just get 4 or 5 friends and sit in VOIP and shoot the shit for the first 3 years of the game before you team up to defeat whatever major has become the most threatening, or just use game rules to make your intended enemy more dangerous. I really doubt HoI was ever ment to be played in an E-Sport-like fashion and trying to make it one would be a massive blunder for Paradox...

I played an actual role play server once with Kaiserreich mod. I played as Siam just because I'm Thai and I wanted to play minor. I was in an Asian discord room and talked with Qing about how I wanted peace with him so we can protect ourselves from Imperialists aggression and that my ambition is only Indochina. Japan came in to call me for a 1-1 talk and ask me to join his Co-Pros, saying that I have no choice anyway since no one is going to help me and that I will be his ''ally" and have a say in things. OfCourse, I accept then he went to war with Germany 2 years into the game (I have 3 mils) because I convinced him about leaving Qing alone and Germany is a greater threat (A.O.G. was still a thing so more than 100+ divs in Asian colonies). Then I got lend-lease from Russia (Who hated Japan's gut after losing the whole Siberia) cause I convinced him about having same enemies (Germany) and lend-lease from the U.S. (I sent 1 marine division in the civil war and help liberate Seattle somehow) because he is grateful. The tension of stalemate in Indochina and Malaya is palpable, Germany naval invasion of Hatyai cause me 12 divs and a total collapse of southern army, forcing me to mobilize police force as a stop gap measure, sinking of KMS Dresden ending Germany invasion threat and bombing of Bangkok. Was a very fun game with 25 people in the server.

As someone that plays hardcore competitive hoi i always say that the core issue with rp games is: *Hoi4 was NOT made to be an rp game, it was made to be an combat game.* Sure you can role play but in the end of the day hoi4 was made for combat, politics are barely in the game, economic system dosent exist , and even the way time passes in hours is there only because of combat. You can rp for an few years but eventually war *will* happen, and that makes hoi4 return to its original state or being an war game where your military is the most important factor. I also have seen so many good rp games turning south because someone gave an BS excuse and joined an war/intentionally killed an lobby. Ironically the best Paradox game to roleplay would be Victoria 3, since there economy and politics matter. But you have execelent production quality man, very good video

What puts me off not only from hoi4 multi, but also hoi4 in general, is how it's less of a sandbox and more of a railroad type of thing. The parts of the game where you could go off-historic and do crazy stuff, rules like these usually come in to make sure that you don't. And if you do, it becomes a 'who has the more OP focus tree' game, with single points literally giving you countries.

[@maxs.5112]

This is so relatable. This is not only true for hoi4, but (with my limited experience) it is also true for Paradox games such as Stellaris, and Ck. I tried soooo hard to make a Stellaris RP game work, but +50 rules, and people trying to destroy others out of the game is just... Not that fun.

Ex hoi 4 player here. The thing is the game has to have people not deviate too much or else the game has 99% chance of being bad/dying in 38-39 . Examples would be stuff like soviet civil war which will basically 99% chance make a game worse because of weak/useless USSR. i played USSR in 1 unhistorical game ever and i just did historical path and killed gemmany in 1942 because he was weaker and not the best at the game i think (he didn't have most of the normal german conquests so he didn't stand a chance) i did play one game though where germany did civil war and died 5 seconds into a war and it lasted until like 1942 because there was a axisish faction

This video summed up my problems with Hoi4 multiplayer in general. I love the game, and can beat the AI, but I’m not huge into competitive. I normally don’t even change my div templates unless the enemy I’m fighting needs it (Like Germany in the base game). My PC is pretty bad, so I don’t want to hamper other players’ times, and I don’t have discord so most well regulated games are off limits. That leaves me either with Competitive Servers, where everyone’s a sweat and there are 20000 rules to keep me playing exactly like the admin wants, or RP, where people are still competitive but my game lags horribly. Add that to the fact my Hoi4 hasn’t been doing multiplayer correctly since a few updates ago, and the fact that that same update caused some of my mods (Cold War, OWB, Great War, etc.) to crash on boot, and I just don’t really have the ability to do Hoi MP. Great video for summarizing the problems in Hoi MP. Keep it up! -J

[@wallachia4797]

Coming from SAMP, I realise that HOI4 RP has zero idea what powergaming is. Powergaming is the first and foremost rule of an RP scenario and hoi4 RPers break it constantly. The simple fact that you go into an RP game where you tryhard to reach your specific goal and use every advantage to help you is powergaming. There's no lorebuilding, no "character development", nothing, it's just tryharding but with a veil of diplomacy added on top.

The main reason that it always becomes competitive is simply because it is multiplayer and people want to continue playing. All those cool formable nations require you to gain land, land you have to take from somebody else. That other nation is controlled by a human player who, understandably, doesn't want to give up any land as they ALSO need that land for THEIR formable nation. When you have 2 people who require the same chunk of land, and need to fight over it, and they are both highly motivated to win as these scheduled long HoI IV games are a massive investment of time and effort, it's bound to get sweaty. That's not really anybody's fault, but it is the nature of having a game where everybody is highly motived to win. It's going to be competitive. Nobody wants to go through the first few years of HoI that are boring as fuck building up their nation just to sell important land, merge with another country, lose a war, etc. All of those things might be more realistic/better for the "roleplay", but who wants to give up hours and hours of playing HoI on 2 speed without putting up the best fight they can?

it's a thing that happens in DarkRP, Roblox Border RP and nearly anything that brands itself as an "RP" game, these people don't actually know what an roleplay is. They think you can just add a ton of features to mimic the game and then have people narrate it, but usually that attracts people who actually play the game, they don't wanna roleplay, they just wanna play the game with added elements.

A good RP game made by paradox would be stellaris, you litterally get a chance to write your own history and craft your civilisation as you see fit which gives alot of free choice to do where as people who rp in hoi4 may try and keep to what happened in ww2 or follow a way that happened irl to justify their goals, though stellaris can also be abit finicky at times and good players may dominate aswell it's still a solid pick espically when you get too the end game

[@SilasPT]

Honestly i think that's a inherent flaw with "RP" multiplayer video games is there is always gonna be someone better at just "playing" their nation. More mechanics in a RP game were you have a "goal" (even if made up by yourself) also means more oppertunities for people to outplay their contemporaries though the use of those mechanics.

[@Deaglan753]

@@SilasPT there are also origins in stellaris, for example the "here be dragons" origin spawns a sky dragon in your capital that has 50K power, granted it can easily be killed but if you build a decent size fleet aswell as defences then you can easily defend your capital and later down the line end up controlling he dragon There is also scion which makes you a puppet of a fallen empire and will periodically give you OK stuff for free, Another thing in stellaris is you don't know how strong someone is entirely, or how big they are, or even where they are until you find them, you need to use your spies to figure out if they will be easy or not

I have a few friends who like HoI4 and we get together from time to time to play RP. Yes, someone has problems with the Internet, and in principle time goes on for quite a long time, because we all need to have time to do everything, but in general it's fun. The most important thing in playing with friends is that there are no hard feelings and arguments (most of the time). That's why I avoid playing with strangers, at least in similar games where PvP is a priority.

I get you When I started playing multiplayer I played roleplay and I have done so for 2 years now. In the beginning it was fun and new to me but the more I played the less roleplay I did because now nobody wants to do the quirks of roleplay, people know the mod they form a meta around it and games get competitive. On the server I play roleplay has become a small thing, just something you are forced to do by the rules. In my case I don't need to roleplay because I know everyone who I'm playing with so why not casually ally them and win, no in between stress needed. It just became awkward to roleplay after I got used to everything. But don't get me wrong, it's still very fun, especially when you know how everything works and you win. You get the communication, goal and every changing landscape you have still top all other ''game modes'' in hoi4.

very good point, also the reason i refuse to play any mod, is because the people who made the mod and everyone who plays in that server know the best meta for the mod

GOATED IS BACK?

[@stevemc01]

1.47k subs already. We’ve found the Timothy Dexter of the KZbin algorithm.

[@goateddd]

I don't like the fact that when i searched him up i instantly saw 'The Dumbest rags-to-riches story of all time', but ty lmao

[@stevemc01]

@@goateddd I mean you got insanely lucky with the algorithm. That’s how the original Dexter got famous lol. He had some rich friends who didn’t like his growing wealth, so they fooled him into doing ruinous things to destroy his wealth… …which by divine intervention of sorts always turned a profit. Definitely something I recommend you see.

[@goateddd]

@@stevemc01 Oh nah, obv i disagree with the luck part. KZbin has a lot of skill to it, believe me.
