What should you play after Baldur's Gate 3? The best CRPGs ever. (2024)

@bradthomas10279 หลายเดือนก่อน ⁺¹

I just got both🎉 real excited, I've always wanted to play d&d but never had friends into that. I'm almost fifty and hope they give me the experience I've been craving all these years because it really looks fun to me.

Why do you like it more than for example deadfire? I really wanted to like those games ( i love DnD, pathfinder (pathfinder more but no one plays it), crpgs - and quality products in the genre are very scarce, therefor I started multiple runs many times played about half of both games several times but couldn't finish it) but it felt very... I don't know.. plain?
I got really excited in the character creation, felt very robust and cool, but then in the game it felt very empty and barely anything seemed to be working good enough to be usable, so in the end there were far far less options in terms of spells/leveling/strategies/builds than in the deadfire which seemed less complex in the first look but everything there was working perfectly and ended up having a real impact:)
Just for me Wotr in comparison to Deadfire seemed first-planned and cheap, but I'd like to hear your opinion on why you like pathfinder wotr more:)

It is first and foremost a mater of your own taste! I enjoyed deadfire as well, story was solid , well writen thus immersive as well as taking place in a somewhat unique setting! However yeah, if I had to chose I would go for wotr of even king maker.
"I got really excited in the character creation, felt very robust and cool, but then in the game it felt very empty and barely anything seemed to be working good enough to be usable". I get that. In pathfinder making things work really comes down to how familiar you are with the rule set and knowing what the game is launching at you and when. To make it short, for most people a first/second play trhough might turn out as sloppy or even frustrating. Note that owlcat also makes little to no compromise when it comes to integrating certain mecanics, rules and classes that are by nature not "compatible" with the lore as it stands in the video game.
But almost everything works more than fine as long as the game diffculty is set to core and bellow. The higher you go the more meta restricted the game will become and some archetypes will indeeed turn out totally useless.
But the main things that make me side with pathfinder are the QOL features/ For instance, how easy it is to get the informations you need learn how things work, what happened, how a spell works etc etc. The UI is super clear and it really helps newer players as well as more seasoned players. I mean let be honest, we are playing a spread sheet calculator afterall, so it might as well be as clear, clean and sleak as possible !
I do love pillars of eternity as well but it is very hard to make sens of everything that is happening on screen especially since I played it before devs implemented turn based feature. So in the end for me the experience was rather frustrating...
As I said, i really comes down to your own tastes afeterall ! And to be honest I should probably re run deadfire to come up with a more elaborated opinion ;).@@milansvancara

@@gabrielzardet3768 Thanks:) I was asking because I'm pretty sure Pathfinder is another in the queue again after I get fed up with Baldurs gate (maybe one day lul), so I know how to enjoy the game more:D
What is the most fun main you've played in the pathfinder?:)
Yeah it really helps to play a few levels of turn based in deadfire to understand the exact mechanics, but it's too long to play turn based in my opinion:) However the most fun for me is creating AI combos and programming the behaviour of each party member:) you can give them the exact blueprint how to behave and it's very very cool... I love it. (but it's probably because I like programming and math hehe). Anyway try to utilize that:)
