If you had to choose ONE rpg to play before you die, what would it be?

[octavius]

Deathlord or Fate: Gates of Dawn.

 

[purupuru]

Paper Mario N64

 

[The Jester]

Fallout

 

[curds]

Wizardry: Crusaders of the Dark Savant. I haven't played it yet because I want to have time set aside during which I can play this game for long periods without life's interruptions. But if death was fast approaching, I'd want to play this now.

Or, Dark Souls, which I recently played (and completed) for the first time and have decided is the greatest video game I've ever played.

 

[Lurker47]

One that I made.

 

[Butter]

If by "before you die" you mean I'd die immediately after beating the game, I'd pick the longest one I can think of. Like a completionist run of Nethack or something.

If instead the meaning is I'd have to only play one game for the rest of my life... I dunno, man. Probably just figure out the Bethesda action-adventure RPG with the most total conversion mods.

 

[Diggfinger]

Deadfire.

So I can tell Satan I beat it.

This is the last day of your life and at the end of it you'll die, doesn't matter if you beat the game or not, what would you play then?

 

[Bigg Boss]

Fate: Gates of Dawn bc it takes years to beat. Get to live longer

Kenshi. Why settle for a game that takes years to beat when you can have one that has no "beaten" condition?

I choose this since I want to play Kenshi and am likely to die soon.

 

[Tigranes]

Deadfire.

So I can tell Satan I beat it.

He will then gladly show you his Deadfire fanfic series, and ask you to act in them for the adult scenes

 

[SausageInYourFace]

Years ago the two games on my bucket list were Baldurs Gate 1 and Ultima 7. BG1 because I started that game over and over for years for various reasons. I never actually got around finishing it until way into the 2010s. Ultima 7 because it was this legendary game to me that I had heard so much about but I never got to play it. Since joining the 'Dex, I managed to actually play through Ultima 4 up to 7 Black Gate (only left Serpents Isle open in case one day I really feel like playing Ultima again).

There are still many classics I feel I need to play but not one that stands out in terms of 'I absolutely MUST finish this before I die'. As far as I am concerned, if I die tomorrow, there will be no regrets. (In terms of CRPGs, that is.)

If I knew I'd die and had one more game to play I'd probably give Invisible Inc. another playthrough. Not an RPG but fuck the rules, it's awesome. Maybe Shining Force 2 for nostalgia reasons.

If you had to choose ONE FINAL rpg to play before you die, what would it be?

Baldur’s Gate #9470.

Check mate, time.

 

[Tavernking]

I am going to get hate for this but Divinity Original Sin 2.

 

[Catacombs]

I am going to get hate for this but Divinity Original Sin 2.

Why?

 

[Funposter]

Pokémon games have no "the end" screen/state.

To answer the OP's question, maybe one last run of Morrowind or Demon's Souls.

I am going to get hate for this but Divinity Original Sin 2.

Why?

Although I know it's extremely flawed I loved the feel of the world and the story (not the lore) was intriguing too. Lohse and The Red Prince were good friends and I liked their questlines. The combat is stupid and easy to exploit but tactical enough to keep me interested (I played on tactician/hard and had to skip some fights due to difficulty).

I might change my choice to Baldur's Gate 3 if we can choose future RPGs, I sort of have faith in Larian. Now that they're using established lore with an established tabletop ruleset I think their biggest problems in DOS2 imo - which was terrible lore and terrible combat mechanics - have a good chance of being fixed.

If one were to invest time into DOS2 or BG3, which would you pick? Barring BG3 is EA, while DOS2 is totally complete.

That's not the end game though, you still have an area after that, with another "boss".

 

[Kazuki]

Age of Decadence 2, yes it will probably never happen. But atleast i'm willing to keep hoping that it will happen in my lifetime.

I don't know much about BG3 because I'm not touching it while it's in EA.

 

[King Crispy]

Grimoire 2.

 

[Talby]

ELEX.

 

[Cleric of Asmodeus]

Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous after they have implemented turn based mode and fixed all of the bugs. I will live for at least 5 more years, maybe forever

The credits also play after Red.
