Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
Mutagen can have a link, maybe. I don't know, lol.

Edit: After some thinking, I think that we should give it its own entry.

With this update, I think we have all the top 101 Codex rpgs covered. From here on out, I'll just post whatever pops up in my mind.

After some consideration, I think that I will also try to add a video let's play of as many games as possible.

**I'm just putting this here to fill out (and cut) later on because I don't feel like having word docs open 24/7. On my way to start filling out the depression years of RPGs. I'm currently filling out entries for everything in the cRPG book but a few require cutting because they really aren't RPGs no matter how you spin it so there's a chance many might be cut especially for the years of 2005-2010

Should change the BioWare entries to "Canada", completely slipped my mind that they're Canadians. As far as I'm aware, the Edmonton studio were the main ones responsible for Baldur's Gate 1-2, KOTOR, ME 1-3, Neverwinter Nights, Jade Empire and Dragon Age 1-3. Meanwhile, Mass Effect: Andromeda was their Montreal studio. Austin didn't do much from what I know.
