What rpg games should i play ?

[Atlet]

Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire.

The best new rpg, with good story, worldbuilding and combat. Its the best rpg that emulates Baldur's Gate 2, the best rpg of all time.

good writing and lots of c&c?
Arcanum is good, a high int/cha diplomatic character would get the most out of it, and still destroy enemies with Harm. That said the game also offers a unique and rather polished experience for low int and low cha characters, so it's worth a couple playthroughs if you are into reactivity like that.
Mask of Betrayer has top tier writing and very meaningful choice & consequence, the downside is the plot continues from NWN2 OC which is underwhelming, also it's epic level dnd which means there is a lot to take in if you are not familiar with dnd 3e and even after you do all your homework the combat is just not any good.
And of course Disco Elysium, a.k.a rpgcodex 2019 GOTY

If you like D&D then you should play Temple of Elemental Evil. I highly recommend you use the Temple+ mod.

Behold:

Man, how do you see anything in ToEE at 1440p? I dropped my resolution to 1280x800 just to be able to tell the characters apart.

You should not. You should stop now. You will never be happy if you start.

hello im new here
I just started playing rpg games and i only finished the witcher 1 ( i plan to finish 2 and 3 ) , fable and wasteland 3
can someone recomend me some good rpg games that have good writing and alot of choices , like in wasteland 3 there were alot of choices that had an impact on the story
i searched on other sites but this looks like the place to ask for some good rpg recomendations

If you want a well written RPG with alot of choices Fallout New Vegas is your go to. Other then that i recommend Planescape: Torment and Fallout 1. Anyways you can just look up the codex's top 100 list, everything you need is there.

Don't set the monitor too far away from your face.

Also, most of ToEE's beauty is in its landscapes and maps, so it's worth it for the party and monsters to approximate the size of miniature lead figurines. GO FIGURE!

samoilaaa, you have the choice: Leave this place as fast as you can and keep enjoying your mediocre life and games or become educated by the fine gentlemen here and get convinced everything is banal, shit and boring.

Yeah, but you still gotta right-click the little buggers to access the radial menu, so it helps to be able to tell which is which. One of my (many!) bugbears about its UI, you can't access character functions from the portrait selection.

Since you brought up the visuals, I've got a nitpick there too - they're pretty, sure, but the perspective constantly threw me off, especially outdoors. Best instance is the huge barn you see early in Hommlet, there's no depth going on there, it's literally the Top-Down example in this graphic.

... No you don't.

 

[Gargaune]

Wait, what?

 

[curds]

Wait, what?

Right-clicking anywhere opens the radial menu.

 

[Gargaune]

Right-clicking anywhere opens the radial menu.

Oh, right. For a second I thought you meant there was some other UI function I'd missed. Yeah, I suppose that's true, you could just select the character portrait and right-click at random, you can manage with tiny figurines in that respect. I'd have still preferred to have action categories pop up for the active character like in IE, but it's manageable.

Bah, he'll never be happy anyways. Might as well play.

But seriously, if you liked Wasteland 3, some similar games are obvious recommendations: Fallout 1-2, Fallout: Tactics, Shadowrun Dragonfall. If you want a less futuristic setting with choices and TB combat, Age of Decadence and Divinity Original Sin 2 are great and will do the job. Arcanum too if you want to experience the great setting and choices despite the shit mechanics.

Since you liked The Witcher, Gothic 1-2 are the main inspiration. But like Fallout 1-2, they're masterpieces but old. ELEX is a modern version of it, less good but still one of the best, there's not many games like it. Risen might be up your alley too, all from the same developper. For a completely different type of setting, look at Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, lots of choices there and great atmosphere. Also look at Deus Ex 1, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and Prey (from Arkane Studios) for cyberpunk/sci-fi settings.

 

[Bastardchops]

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Deus Ex, Fallout 1 &2, also Diablo 1 & 2.

Before we allow you to play more cRPGs you have to tell us what the nature if a RPG is.

Elminage: Gothic, Romancing SaGa 2, and Wizardry Empire 2 are good. Play those.

 

[GreyViper]

We have so many new mainstream RPGs that you most likely have heard. But for old classics here are games worth playing with good writing.
Dark Sun: Shattered Lands
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Age of Decadence
Ultima series
Quest for Glory Series.
Ravenloft Cruse of Sthrad and Stone Prophet.
Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete.
Divinity 2 Dragon Knight Saga
Drakensang 1+2 (really beautiful ambient art)

PS. Age of Decadence and Divinity 2 Dragon Knight Saga are technically not old but definitely overlooked.

im not really sure because i just started but for me an rpg must have
Character creation
A story where we can make choices , the game doesnt just put some cutscene after every couple of minutes
The gameplay is more complex than an typical action game , we can solve a situation using different methods , we dont have to use brute force to go forward
