And don't listen to the people who tell you that story is more important than combat.stop playing games older than yourself to fit in among people who don't feel in any way particular about you
I live for the day when we depose the head kike from this place and deal with the storyfag question once and for all.Don't listen to this zionist agent, join the storyfag master race and play Underrail for story
Don't mislead this young man.You basically shouldnt post here before you finished Aleshar, Obitus and The Ruins of Cawdor at least 7 times.
None of those are truly mainstream except Witcher 3 and that's a storyfag game.
Dude, of course not! What kind of person do you think i am? That would be ridiculous!You should not play The Ruins of Cawdor without playing Shadow of Yserbius first.
Good, good panda. Atta boy!Dude, of course not! What kind of person do you think i am? That would be ridiculous!

Dont start. Read a book, a classic preferably. RPGs are nothing but trash.I am excited that there are all these amazing games I've never played, but I don't know where to start
I am 17 years old, and I recently got into The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and have been really enjoying it despite it being a year older than me. It's like I was made for this type of game, so I started to do research and found out about all the classics people love; Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic, Planescape: Torment, Gothic, Dragon Age, and it goes on an on. I am excited that there are all these amazing games I've never played, but I don't know where to start. I picked up the first Fallout on GOG for $4.59 and am going to start that tomorrow, but besides that, I just want to know which RPGs should be in priority queue of my backlog.
In the order they came out.
Fallout 1 -> Fallout 2
Baldur's Gate 1 ( -> Planescape Torment ) -> BG2
Arcanum
VTMB
That's it, you're set. Maybe try Kotor after all of that, if you're still there.
This is good.Dont start. Read a book, a classic preferably. RPGs are nothing but trash.
Computer arpeegees tried since their inception to mimick PnP, from mainframe first person view wireframe graphics to Gold Box series and beyond. They try to weave a narrative, they are storyfag shit! The mechanics are tacked on, sad constructs, buckling under their own weight and/or laughably simple.
When you grow up and collect a decent library of stories in your head, you realize just how retarded and pathetic fantasy is. And with this comes the disillusionment of video game narratives.
If you stop for a second and dont chase the next slot machine high, the veneer comes off and reveals a sad, sad reality.
Its like looking a children with severe genetic disoreders crying 'kill me'
Your typical arrpeegee

Storyfags should be self-loathing.
Ah yes, instead of actually playing the game, the storyfag likes to read and immerse himself in the lore.Lol another combatfag peasant crying for attention to superior storyfags

The obvious question then is, why not simply read a book? The classics of literature are so above and beyond any writing in games that it really makes one wonder why storyfags don't simply choose to read a book if they care about writing so much.
Horvatii is quite right in his post.
Coming from Morrowind I would go for PS:T first.I am 17 years old, and I recently got into The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and have been really enjoying it despite it being a year older than me. It's like I was made for this type of game, so I started to do research and found out about all the classics people love; Fallout, Baldurs Gate, Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic, Planescape: Torment, Gothic, Dragon Age, and it goes on an on.

Sure, but that's also the reason why the stories written in games will never even come close to those in actual literature.But video games have the ability to define a story in a way that no other medium can
They can put you in the middle of the story, you are no longer just witnessing events
Ignore every Codex Top ## list and go straight for the classics:I am 17 years old, and I recently got into The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and have been really enjoying it despite it being a year older than me.
