Vapourware Looking for RPG Recommendations.

[Nekot-The-Brave]

Looking for a game that's kind of like Betrayal at Krondor. RPG, with lots of character development and a good amount of story interaction, can be party based.

Not looking for dungeon crawlers.

I know that Call of Saregnar is a thing, but I can't buy it, but again, something like that.

Don't recommend Spiderweb games or "The Quest" since I already have all of those.

I think to receive good recommendations, you'd have to be a bit more specific on what kind of features you are looking for. The games that you mention (spiderweb, the quest, Krondor) seem to cover quite a bit of ground. At least that's my impression. And I'm not even sure if I'd be willing to rate spiderweb as "good amount of story interaction"?

You could try Bard's tale IV. But don't play it if you expect it to be a typical "Bard's Tale" game. Also don't play it if you have a problem with puzzles.

Betrayal in Antara, duh. And Return to Krondor.

Not specific enough so I'm going with my default: Baldur's Gate I/II

I mean, there's the whole Bioware catalogue to fit that description.

I'll try that one out. That looks a bit more like the style I'm looking for.

Be a bit more specific?
Because a lot of games fit that criteria.

Looking for a game that's kind of like Betrayal at Krondor.

Betrayal in Antara was designed as a spiritual sequel to BaK.

I rather enjoyed it, though it has some flaws. The setting is fairly decent, but the characters are not as good as in BaK. The main story's okay, though not especially great (too many villains manipulating other villains). There's a lot of optional stuff and minor encounters, most of it pretty good. The cutscene art is quite nice.

As in BaK, you control 3 PCs at most. Unfortunately, there are several chapters of the story during which you control only 2, which rather limits the tactics you can use.

From a mechanical point of view, it's very similar to BaK. The system for learning spells is different : you learn magic spheres (either from a teacher or by seeing them use) and you then combine them to create spells.

You can find some LPs on Youtube if you want to see what it's like.

Here's a mostly good list.

From games not on the list: Albion.

That game has been near the top of my backlog for years; I need to finally get around to playing the thing.

To be honest, I thought "Like Betrayal at Krondor" was a good enough description towards what I was looking for since it's pretty uniquely shaped game that's not at all like the stuff that a lot of your are recommending. But I guess that's my fault, I just didn't want to list 100 other games that I already know about to not be recommended.

So this is just on GoG right? I couldn't find a steam listing.

There's not very many games like BaK.

May be a far step away from BaK, but I find Gothic 1&2 to be somewhat similar in spirit, cool character development, meaningful exploration, great character interaction, and it has a decent story.

Also: BiA is trash.
