![]() Technically, Serpents isn't my no.1 game, but atmospherically it's my no.1, as I would say its the closest any game has come to recreating the magic of the Infinity Engine games, though, as above, I haven't tried Pillars of Eternity yet, and might have actually benefited by waiting so long, as apparently it's a massive Xmultiplier better after all the expansions. Still, I've enjoyed the opportunity to spend a few years clearing a backlog. Even those that still only require 2gb are sketchy now as my rig is so old most of the RAM is consumed by crap I have no idea how to properly clear and even if I did I'd then get graphics cards issues. Funny to think something like Dragon Age: origins only has a 2gb requirement, but something like Lords of Xulima or even Legends of Eisenwald has a 4gb requirement/recommendation. NB: I haven't played practically anything since 2014 as that's when the new RAM requirements kicked in. So for the lazy, here are links to the rpgwatch GOTY 2008-2016Ĩ. There are lots of other good rpgs from this period. I haven't played D:OS2, Torment, Trails of Cold Steel, The Witcher 3, or Deus Ex: Mankind Divided yet, so that's at least one reason they aren't on my list. ![]() I'll still avoid them on my list, even though Legends of Heroes would certainly be on it if I wasn't so strict with myself. Personally I have no console, so they were new to me when I played them. Whether console ports like "Legends of Heroes" from before 2007 qualify I'll leave up to you. I'd say including something like Baldur's Gate 2 EE would be cheating, as 99% of the content of that game comes from before 2007. ![]() For that reason I'd like to make a list of your favorite "newer" rpgs. I notice for younger players, games that I no longer felt were so very impressive (like Dragon Age: Origins or Gothic 2) awake the same kind of nostalgic feeling. I think a lot of this has to do with looking back, I'm now 44, and 15-25 years ago was the period where I was fairly new to rpgs and gaming in general and where I was more likely to get really excited about new games. I'm as guilty as anyone, as I think if I made a list today probably 6-7 of my top ten would come from this period. We have a very often visited thread on this forum called your top rpgs of all time, and since many of us here are older, that thread is filled with rpgs from the 90s, or shortly after.
