There are people who have the attention span of a catfish, who are more than satisfied with the latest Call Of Duty or Grand Theft Auto.
However, for the rest of us with deep insight and those who live in another plane of existence, this will not do. We need to absorb and imbibe the lore, develop character and make intelligent conversation with otherworldly characters. Especially for such people like us, God created Role Playing Games (RPGs).
That being said, welcome to this RPG discussion thread. This thread is dedicated to all RPG games, old and new, classic and underrated. RPGs come in many forms, some have simple graphics, some have complex mechanics, some have large skill trees. However, the basic tenets of any RPG is the same. You get to choose your character and a number of stats for the same and you are set out into a massive world that, unlike most other games, does not revolve around the player character.
Examples of RPGs (in no particular order):
- Deus Ex [First Person, Tactical, Stealth]
- Diablo 1 and 2 [Isometric, Top Down]
- Elder Scrolls series [First Person, Third Person]
- Gothic series [Third Person]
- Omikron: The Nomad Soul [Third Person]
- Dink Smallwood (freeware) [2D Top Down]
- Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines [FPS/TPS]
- Mass Effect series [TPS]
- Dragon Age series [Third Person]
- etc.
That being said, kindly try to avoid MMORPG discussion in this thread.
