I have been grinding action RPG's my whole life and never finished a single actual proper cRPG like MM or Wizardry. Which of the games I mentioned, which I have, would be the easiest to dive into that kind of games? I tried MM7, 9 (have special sentiment for 9 ngl) and Wizardry 8 but that was AGES ago when I played my first action RPG ever, Gothic, so that was too much for me, didn't got out of starting locations. No fighting animation and too much of figuring out. So I want to revisit such games and wonder which would be the easiest to start. Don't care for any MM under 6 or any Wizardry under 8. But maybe there are some other legendary games like these, that I don't have and don't know about? What can you advice?

PS: I finished first Fallout and I have Baldur's Gate 1/2 etc already. Will play those after these mentioned above.

PS2: Might also want to add that this is not about which MM should I play and finish, like you don't have to worry that if I'll play the 9 first, which I know is considered the worst of them all and unfinished, I will still later finish 6 and 7 at least, once I'll get the hang of the whole "classic cRPG" thing, don't know bout the 8 though. It wouldn't discourage me if the 9 was the easiest but generally bad and boring game. Like I said I have a LOT of sentiment for that one. So if the 9th is the easiest for instance then just say it ;)

What is your favorite example of a romantic exchange between two different characters in a game? Like for example geralt to yennefer/tris. Henry and Theresa. How many choices to be boyfriend or girlfriend do you get? How much do you like the traditional relationships in stories?

Is romance to out of control or do you like it in your games?

I'm having trouble getting into anything after Dragons Dogma 2. To give an idea of my gaming preferences. So far this year I've played BG3 which was amazing. Although I'm not a huge fan of CRPG's and that format. Partially why I'm asking before I buy. Ff7 rebirth was OK. Definitely not a masterpiece (stop killing the meaning of that word SE cucks) but the og is my favorite game of all time. And Dragons Dogma 2 was pretty good but the designer flaws were very apparent lol.

Anyhow. I decided to go with LAD: infinite wealth after dragons dogma 2 and find myself missing/craving that midieval environment.

Part of me thinks I should trust the game based on the fact it's an obsidian game alone and they really do know how to hit it out of the ballpark. So thoughts?

Hey all! Wondering if any of the RPG enthusiasts out there can help. Even better if you are a massive Gothic series fan.

Ive never tried any of the Gothic games (or Risen for that matter) and I didn't particularly like the sci-fi medieval blend that was Elex.

I've searched online and it seems like the general concensus is that Gothic 2 was absolute peak. Gothic 1 is also adored but is older and jankier so im more focused on 2 at this point. In your opinion is Gothic 2 a good spot to start? What exactly for you makes Gothic 2 so good and why does it consistently show up on the best rpg lists of all time? Specifically what does it do that sets it apart from the rest and has kept it so enduring for so long?

There is a very massive amount of people that still hold this game near and dear to their heart. Even just the amount of mods developed and still being developed is a testament to how popular this game still is. Why?

Ive watched gameplay videos but they don't seem to do it justice. Ive read extensively about how the 'quests are much more interesting then modern games' and that 'the game doesn't hold your hand' but even still that doesn't sell me on it. Is it nostalgia? Does the game give you emergent gameplay?

Are there a large amount of player build options? Examples: Stealth, sword and board, magic, magic/melee combo? Some of these particulars don't seem to be brought up.

Extra question - what mods would you suggest are mandatory? What mods should I avoid?

Thank you for any info and advice!

My far-future comedy satire game Eye Borg just got updated with expanded charts, more missions, more twists and a GM advice sections. Free on itch. Come check it out and tell me what you think!

Eye Borg: Absurdist Roleplaying in the Far Future by TrueTenno

Something about the game made me feel oddly “confined” if that makes sense. I know TRPGs don’t frequently have exploration, but Zoria Age of Shattering just felt way better to me and that one felt way too difficult if that makes sense. I really like the idea of TRPGs, especially since the game I’m developing seems to fit the bill of one.

Are there any good fantasy TRPGs any of you would recommend?

I never really cared about mobile games, so i don't know any really. I love arpg's like Secrets of grindea, Crosscode, Shining souls or monster hunter, i want to know a good game similar to phone. Right know i'm sticking to monster hunter freedom unite in a shitty emulator and rucoy online. Something good to play even if they are not the same to the games i said. I have playes rpg for a long time so i don't care if it's hard, one thing i like from those games is the "a" part, real time combat with dodge and block, or some strategy that is not a disguised turn rpg like rucoy. And if there is something like epic battle fantasy or persona/megaten i would like to know, i also like those And no games like zenonia pls

Basically just looking for something thats nice to look at and plays like Brothership or any of the older M&L games but with a deeper plot. Doesn't have to be a JRPG or top down but I love the art style, humor, combat, and music of mario and luigi games. I've played the paper mario games and mario rpg already but I haven't finished brothership yet so please do not spoil anything. Thank you!

any console is fine

I hate how the player-sexual romance thing has become standard now. Party members should have their own distinct personalities outside of the player, they shouldnt exist solely to stroke your ego as a player. It's immersion breaking for every party member to want to sleep with you. No one is straight or gay, it's dumb.

What do yall think about baldur's gate 3

Hello me peeps 👋👋👋👋🤗

Is this game worth it or not and if yes why that? What is your favorite part of the game and who is your favorite character in the game? Do you think they should make a baldurs gate 4 still or is the franchise done?

Should we play it or just skip it because there is some "questionable" stuff in it? What is so cool about the fantastic things? I do kind of love this game a lot, I may do a second run partial fast forward.

Ty I appreciate your thoughts ⭐️, let's try to be more neutral and civil. God is Good! ✝️

I love RPG games, but I can only play once every 2 weeks (my child free day). I'm looking for a game that meets the following criteria....

Really easy to pick up the story & controls again after not playing for a while. Really good story. Lots of cutscenes. Lots of dialogue. Lots of loot. Not too much fighting, I prefer stealth or turn based. Difficulty choice. Decent RPG mechanics.

My favourite games (pre-baby) are.... AC Origins, Dragon Age Inquisition, Rise of Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4, Heavy Rain, Divinity Original Sin 2.

What should I play next? (PS4)

Gaming is cool, ty community for the continued love and support! Keep up playing and supporting RPG's.

God is Good! ✝️

Are there any good multiplayer games which I can play with friends? We played LoL for years, now For honor which is pretty good but would love to get some more options. Maybe there are some good rpg to try? It would be cool to have something in fantasy/medieval setting and if it would have crossplatform - pc and ps5

What are some good RPG games with quest helpers/directions?

Now before you start your angry rant at me. I have some learning disabilities and physical disabilities, as well as having just had brain surgery 2 months ago. I am in pain a lot...

I am looking for something not to difficult, that can help provide a bit of direction of where I am suppose to go/what I am suppose to do. Where I don't do things in the wrong order and screw my game up. (looking at you final fantasy 3)

I find I am checking the quest journal in games around 100 times an hour trying to remember everything and its a bit stressful. Its like my ability to game is being slowly taken from me. I guess I am looking for something a bit less complex?

Recent games I tried in the last few months are.

Kitaria Fables (very easy to get lost and go the wrong way)

Starfield (well I just honestly wanted to see the city, but I knew it wouldn't work out

Quest Hunter (Cute, but only really fun in co-op)

Fable 1, 2, 3 - Actually managed to finish these!

Bio Mutant (Still actively playing, and enjoying, but taking it slow)... honestly looting is very satisfying lol

Mass Effect (I finished 1 which was more linear, 2but couldn't keep up with 2 and 3... kind of sad about it.)

Final Fantasy 3 (Messed it up badly)

Thanks for any help,

Much love and thanks

Hi I'm looking for a new game to play that has summoning in it or some sort of monster taming. Just not pokemon because I have literally played all of Pokemon. I'm hoping for an RPG. But no MMO please because I really don't like those. I just have really been into monster taming in games lately. I don't really care if it's a class or just a sub of magic or if it's a pokemon clone.

The games I have played that I liked the summoning or monster raising in are:

Baldurs Gate

Pokemon

Nexomon

Pathfinder

Dragon quest monsters (literally any of them)

Golden Dawn (or sun? It's been a long time since I played.)

Digimon Cyber Sleuth

Far Cry Primal

Tales of Symphonia Dawn of a new Age (I think that's the exact name. It's the 2nd game)

I like any RPG except MMO. But I hate platformers with a passion. My systems I have are: switch, 3Ds, Xbox one, PlayStation 5, and Steam for my computer.

I know there's already a game of SL but it only focuses on Sung Jinwoo and his class' growth path and skill builds. I want a game that's like the world of solo leveling where people get different classes and you can create your own character.

Its not really important but I more inclined to games that have artstyles similar to Mihoyo games or the typical "anime artstyle" but I wont mind any other artstyles!

I'm unsure where I should post this since I don't use reddit often But there's a game I wanted to find I even asked chat gpt but even with over 30+ recommendation It could not find it Here's the game description

• top-down view pixelated art
• romance rpg
• similar to stardew valley but without farming
• possibly f2p
• mobile game

I remember playing it quite a while ago quite likely in 2018 or even earlier and I've been looking for this game for a while but I'm lead to nowhere Can someone please help me find this

I really want to capture that adventuring fantasy party feel of both DD2 and BG3, but with the detailed and deep writing/choices of Bg3, and the extensive combat of DD1 or 2. Are there any games that fit this that I would like?

I’ve been playing Wrath of the Righteous, but I’m getting burned out on turn based combat, but I don’t exactly want to play a game just for it’s combat, I’d like deep storytelling as well.

Any recommendations? I hope this isn’t too niche.

I'm sorry to say I'm bored of Baldur's Gate 3 runs...

Looking for a new game this weekend. A friend recently started playing NWA and likes it. DAV Looks way cool but has awful reviews. I loved BG3, I grew up on Final Fantasy, I HATE Elden Ring and I play DnD on the table, what would you suggest?

Oh ALSO I LOVE Character Creation, the more races and classes, or the better options at least, is definitely taken into account

Note: I don't want to buy both 😁

Which IPs do you consider as having the BEST lore for that universe/setting in your eyes?

IMO, the IPs I've found to have the most interesting/enjoyable lore for their settings are:

1. Elder Scrolls - love love LOVE the dynamics, tension, racism, and religious disputes and opposing views on the Aedra/Daedra from the various races of Tamriel; love the mysteries of the ancient Dwemer and their "disappearance", love the territory border disputes, the mysteries of the Elder Scrolls tracking events that have yet to happen across the ages, and even find the dragonbreak timeline shenanigans SOMEWHAT tolerable, despite usually hating time-warping storylines...

2. World of Darkness - I've only scratched the surface with Vampire the Masquerade games, but the entire premise of the shadowy underlying societies of supernatural beings pulling the strings behind all the major events of humanity and civilizations throughout the ages is fascinating.

3. Shadowrun - love the awakening of mysticism in a futuristic cyberpunk-ish world, and the sudden shift in power that threatens to topple the neo-corporatism of this future society...

4. The Witcher - love the politics behind the Northern Territories and the war with the Southern Nilfgaardian empire. Love the scheming and plotting of the Mages and Sorceresses trying to influence the kingdoms' courts, and I love the history of the Continent changing with how human appeared as an invasive species from the Conjunction and then went on to utterly dominate and marginalize the native races of the elves (much better depiction than Dragon Age-verse IMO), dwarves, gnomes, etc., Lastly, I also found the ancient elven bloodlines and the whole White Frost/dimension-hopping Wild Hunt stuff somewhat mildly interesting.

5. A Song of Ice and Fire-verse. Even though this is very low-magic and low-fantasy, I do love all the political factions and machinations behind the war for the Throne. But beyond that, I love the world history itself, from the Dawn Empire, to the Fall of Old Valyria, to the mysterious prophecies from Essos in Asshai and also the whole entire separate empire doing their own thing in Yi-Ti... so intriguing and ripe for much further in-depth exploration in a video game series...

I mean the game looks nice and plays smoothly. I mean there some "questionable" stuff in it. But i do think over all it seems like a fine game. Maybe a 6-7 out of 10. Combat isn't terrible and I like a couple characters one of the women is honestly pretty hot too. Could be worth it but lemme know what you all think. Ty friends let's try to be nice and friendly. Have a great day!

God is Good! ✝️

Can anyone help me remember an RPG I played around 2001? It was on a PC (Windows 98). The view was top down, and all I can remember is walking around fighting kobolds, and if I tried to carry too many items it said I was “encumbered” and moved super slow.

Hey, I've been playing a lot of JRPGs, but I recently tried Divinity with some friends and a bit of Witcher 3, and I'm really into these types of games now. I want to try them all, but I don't have the time. So, what are your top 10 must-play games for a beginner to experience whay the genre has to offer? I don't care how old they are or if they're AAA or indie. I don't mind if the gameplay is outdated as long as the game is good.

For some context, I'd say that I put a lot more time into playing video games than your average gamer. This year we've seen some incredible games release including my new all time favourite: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. But ever since the summer, I just can't shake this melancholy that is affecting my enjoyment of I try to play.

I think part of it is that nothing that's released since Rebirth seems to be as good, and I also feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of games (RPGs in particular) that have released in the past few months.

Just wondering if anyone else has been feeling blah every time they try a new game, and if they managed to get through that feeling, what got you through it?
