Kudos to Wasteland 2 for being so good at introducing the lore and plot of Wasteland 1 to new players. You can ask survivors of the first game (both allies and enemies) what happened in the first game and their thoughts about it, getting multiple points of view. Few RPGs nailed that aspect without bloating the game with unnecessary walls of text, WL2 did it so well with few lines of dialogues. Most RPGs will have this info break the pace of the story, but Wasteland 2 has some quests that are directly related to conflicts that were caused by the actions of the first game's protagonists, so you both get a general idea of what happened AND new content that stands on its own.

@hanssen71 3 ай бұрын
Personally many of these I don’t consider crpgs. Gothic, elex, risen, greedfall are closer to Skyrim and Witcher than to bg3 and pathfinder imo. Kotor and dragon age are kinda in between while inquisition leaves most of the crpg elements of origin behind. For the same reason I wouldn’t put fallout 3/NV on this list.

@n71 Everyone has a different idea of what "CRPG" means, which is why I don't even bother using the term anymore. Back in the day it just meant any RPG on a computer. Now it means, what... a computer based isometric RPG? A computer RPG that uses some vague definition of a "classic" rule set? A computer RPG that is party based? Who knows.

I don't want to spoil myself by playing Wrath of the Righteous first, so after my KM run I do plan on jumping into WotR. You speak highly of Rogue Trader as well, so maybe a big Owlcat push is in my future.

I’m playing through Kingmaker right now and I’m so overwhelmed lol I just got to level 6 and I already want to restart because my characters are a janky mess. I’m a min max type player so it’s triggering me. The character customization is so deep and important that I want to just start over and make my party the right way without investing so much to make new guys or respec
@elwinkline6387 3 ай бұрын
@Childofbhaal I feel you 100%. I no lie restarted this game more than any other CRPG. First attempt - I started with the default human Warrior with a shield and flail/Mace (forget his name). 2nd - Tried to custom a Druid. Hard fail trying to min-max and most likely in the boat you are in now. 3rd - Tried to min-max a Ranger. Another hard fail. 4th - Just went back to an Origin/Default character, this time Melaku (Paladin dude) and he has been a perfect fit. Paladin's are literally God tier and it just makes the game fun to play and less stressful. The game is hard enough without self-inflicted pain your first play through. For reference, just hit level 5 and doing my thing managing my Kingdom. Which by the way! Is not as bad as people make it out to be. So far I am actually enjoying it. The game is called KINGMAKER after all folks. Not Dungeon Crawler :).

It's nice to see Tyranny getting some love - that is one of my favorite modern cRPGs. This together with Divinity Original Sin 1 (not 2, at least not yet), Rogue Trader and Baldur's Gate 3. Although, Rogue Trader deserves a special spot - I'm not good with complicated mechanics whatsoever and failed repeatedly at Pathfinder: Kingmaker, yet Rogue Trader clicked for me like nothing else. Also the 40k lore in this was such an immense treat, the writing was outstanding and the combat was absolutely fantastic in providing me with an appropriate 40k power trip. Baldur's Gate 3 is obviously superior in many things - however Rogue Trader clicked a little more with me and I finished it in almost one go while I'm still struggling a little bit with getting fully immersed into BG3.

I think it's great how positive you approach the matter. There are so many good games. Among other things, I'm finally on my first run of Pathfinder:wotr and Bloodlines. Wotr had to wait until I finished a few other games so I could take a lot of time with it :D I would also like to see a sequel to Tyranny, but I have a hard time imagining where a direct sequel could start, as that would require a "definitive" ending to the first part. hmm BG1 has a very unique voice acting in the German edition, full of dialects and a presentation that stands between irony, seriousness and laughable. but it's so great and I can't imagine it any other way ❤️ It doesn't exactly fit the topic, but I would still like to recommend "The Inquisitor" to you. It only takes 8 to 9 hours maybe you can take a look, even if only for yourself. It has a great story, atmosphere,... I had to play through it 4 times :D

My earliest games in the genre were BG, Fallout, Divine Divinity and Plane Scape Torment. It has been a while but it feels like these game came out all at once and I loved them all and the genre ever since.

I’m not the only person on the planet that has played Geneforge? Neat! DOSII is also one of my favorite games! I’ve put so many hours in - I LOVE the combat system. I love the story and the characters. As much as I’m loving BG3, I can’t wait to see DOSIII from Larian. I’m already writing sequels to DOSII in my head.

Mort, every time you upload one of these I think "you've done this one" and then you drop some knowledge on me like "last time I did this was 2020." Time flies man. Feel like I remember the last list clear as day, it's the reason I played Tyranny.

Awesome list. Definitely what to check out Shadowrun (I love cyberpunk settings) after it's recent updates. Pillars maybe. I'll give Divinity 2 another whirl since I liked BG3 so much

I am really surprised how high you put Phiranna bytes games, especially Gothic and Elex. I have seen your reviews for these games, and I know you enjoyed them, but I didin't know you liked them that much. As a simple Eastern European, it does warm my heart :D

I recently replayed Shadowrun Hong Kong. I enjoyed it a lot but I find myself wishing that there was more going on in the mid-game. Some of those runs like the Feng Shui mission are quite inventive and the decking is better than ever so when the last mission comes up so quickly and its over so soon I kept feeling like I wanted more.

Out of curiosity, why the Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen thumbnail?

The main reason Planescape Torment would be higher in my personal list, is because of the unique impact of companions. Every single one of them can teach you new things, that do not exist elsewhere. For example Ignus can teach you spells that are outside of the spellbook of the ruleset. That is to say both of you are the only entities in the game's universe that know these spells... I have never seen cRPG doing that besides Torment. Not only that, but he has a unique way of teaching them to you, by sacrificing att points... Not just the story, but also companion's story is just top notch. Also, once you realize that the nameless one was Ignus's teacher in his previous incarnations, before Ignus gets banished to the plane of fire, makes this come full-circle in a very unique way IMHO.

Skyrim allows you to sculpt your own versions of spells, which is cool. BG3 also has some unique spells to be found late in the game.

@@Swizz12 None of those things are what I talk about. But just for the record, can you remind me which are the unique spells in bg3? I can't remember any

I’ve always felt that the game doesn’t feel like a game. I’d rather just read a far more complex book. Planescape: Torment seems like a favorite for people that should read more novels.
