Dark Queen of Krynn
Gateway to the Savage Frontier
Treasure of the Savage Frontier

I can see a trend there

i ve been there, oversexed and underfucked looking for a new hype or at least some leisure time until i the sober realisation: i already played em all.
i scrolled 600 Steam store pages, GoG, the various forums to confirm this very insight: i already played em all, there is nothing new, no innovation.

so my options r to replay my favorites or innovate the next quantum leap in RPG evolution. and being fed the same systems over and over again, where differences r mere cosmetical is like drowning in variations of hot chocolade, my preference is to reach for the stars, to evolve from boring consumerism to innovative creation.

Give specs. Give list of games you played - approximate.

Everything from Bioware
Everything from Harebrained
First two Fallouts, Battle Brothers, Invisible Inc., Wasteland 2(garbage), Both Expeditions(Conquistador was better), Witcher series, Darklands, Planescape(i'm not playing the "spiritual successor"), Neo Scavenger, Mordheim, King of Dragon Pass*, The modern Xcoms, possibly some others I don't remember now

I refuse to play blobbers or those fucking boomer menu based rpgs

you really should. some ancient computer games have aged very well, like wasteland 1
sorry but I just can't, graphics matter as much as music when it comes to the overall impression of the game, like it's literally not possible for me to enjoy those ancient games

*this one doesnt count as garbage menu based game because it actually looks good

No they don't and I played Gothics too.

I didn't list all the games I played just those I consider relevant to the thread topic.

my dad wanted to play Trivial Pursuit the other day but I told him he was a boomer and that the graphics suck, that really put him in his place!
