Nice, 3 of those 4 games I completed quite recently, clearly one common thing which makes them fun is the need to rely on your own taken notes to advance, while Curse of the Azure Bonds I may play sooner or later since my party is ready to move on from Pool Of Radiance.

Interesting! I'd like to hear your thoughts on the games you've completed.
Lurking is amazing, it's like stumbling upon some old DOS RPG I missed back in the day. Do you have any hints about character development? There's no info out there on this game, so I just went with my old RPG knowhow and tried to make a balanced party. I wasn't sure whether to focus more on attributes or skills.

I started that one recently too. Since there's five skills and five party members the chargen wasn't particularly agonizing. Focusing on attributes seems like a good idea though given that NPCs tell you you can upgrade skills whenever, but attributes only by finding special pools, so they'll probably be harder to raise at first. At least that's how I understood it.

You'll have no problem either way, there are only a few bosses and you'll manage to beat those with some levels. At worse you probably need one guy who can play music and one to cast spells not to get stuck, I can't remember exactly. But yes, the world and the quest are great.

I was also impressed by how good the world and quest in Dragon Warrior II are, all the puzzles you'll need to solve based on what people in towns tell you, with good balance between directly key items and strong equipment, the game is really fun to solve.

DW2 is a old favorite of mine, I completed it back when it was released in the US and then again several times after. It's just a favorite of mine I keep going back to for some reason lol. People seem to hate it now, so I think it's a bit underrated for a JRPG. I especially like how it becomes nonlinear for the second half.

As for Lurking, thanks to both Strange Fellow and CryptRat for your information. I do have a music-focused character and magic-focused character, so I guess I don't have too much to worry about haha. It seems more like Ultima V to me than Ultima III, but I guess it's just splitting hairs. Why didn't the Lurking games get covered by RPG Codex though? Very disappointed.

Also, I just want to say, you are two of the best posters on this site. Perhaps it's the rum talking. Sometimes it feels like wading through shit to find a diamond on this site.

Would take too much attention away from Outer Worlds patchnotes
Edit: aw thanks, you too. As it happens you and CryptRat are actually both in my Lurking party.
