Arcane
Any RTwP rpg that is not Baldur's Gate 1. And BG1 is the reason I don't want to play any of them.
RPGs begin with Fallout for me.
I'll omit my first two RPGs: Skyrim and Fallout 3.
You have great taste and have missed a whole lot of super shitty decline. The exception is System Shock though. It isn't really an RPG, you have an inventory and some very basic character building. But mostly it is a shooter, but it is about 100 times better than Halflife or any other shooter and was so advanced for its time. Also MOTB I didn't like much but it deserves to not be included with all those other horrible games.The Gothic series, the genre isn't my cup of tea even if i'm tempted, sometimes, due to the praise these games get around here.
The witcher series, not gonna happen.
Oblivion, Skrym, not gonna happen either, Morrowind was bad enough i don't want anything to do with that franchise.
New Vegas, Fallout 3 was such a huge decline i stopped caring at all about that franchise, tempted to try New Vegas but i always find an excuse (or something else to play) not to.
Deus Ex, same reason, it's probably good but it's not my genre, could change my mind at some point.
Dark souls franchise, not gonna happen ...
Anachronox, Alpha protocol, System shock franchise (bis).
MotB, NwN 2 engine is so bad it discouraged me, wanted to do it last year but started to replay the OC first, shouldn't have done that ...
The combat is atrocious and it has the worst mage combat I've ever seen in a game, it seems like a total afterthought but that is no excuse. That said, there are some things I liked about it. The characters are a bit more realistic, not very fantasy, miles from high fantasy. No childishness which is rare for a game. Also the world design is pretty interesting. Also in at least one of the games you have to pick a side, humans or orcs, and whichever one you pick means you basically genocide an entire town of the other race. Which was interesting. But to me if a game has bad combat it is dead to me.I installed Gothic, realized it had tank controls, and immediately uninstalled it. Although I wonder if I was being too hasty. I just can't imagine that an rpg with tank controls has good things to offer elsewhere.
Pretty simple for me:
All the "beloved" Action RPG's I have no interest in whatsoever. If the combat is real-time (no pause), then it's not a real RPG but twitcher popamole. Only the earlier real-time blobbers I could kind of stomach, such as Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Lands of Lore 1.
Seems like you only played Gothic 3.I haven't missed much, and mostly it is by choice. I don't really like most 80s games, they are just too primitive. 90s is the peak for me. BAK is maybe my favorite RPG.

Lucky bastard.never touched Arcanum
7 with exult, just remember it's more of an adventure game than RPG. Alternatively 5, if you want to be really oldschool, I guess.Anything from Ultima. Idk, recommend me where to start, I guess..?
That one is great, one of the first DOS RPGs I beat.
- Betrayal of Krondor - Never played it. But it seems like my cup of tea.
Betrayal at Krondor was fantastic! I'd play that one first if I were you.
