Well, not really - video game RPGs, especially modern, are pretty bad at translating morality/alignment systems of pen&paper RPGs. Playing in an alignment of the character you've created is actual point, that really dictates (if you're role playing as you should) how you will react to many situations.

As for 2077, I'm not sure is this is good or bad, I never played any p&p version of Cyberpunk, though friend of mine from university talked extensively about it back in days.

I was obviously talking about how those systems are used in videogames. I've never played a pen&paper RPG.

In any case, we'll see what will CDP Red comes up with, and if it works or not.

Yea it was really bad when it first dropped.  I'm having better luck now.  So far my cart is under $25 and I'd like to keep it under 30.  My backlog is embarrassing on steam but not as bad as some that I've seen.  I've made some progress lately.  Just need to focus on quick easy games that I have instead of getting lost in Civ or other never ending games.

I haven't given the sale a proper look, but so far it looks like I might end not buying anything.

Between games that are new and still cost more than I'm willing to spend, and older games like Civ VI or XCOM 2 that I'm not buying because I've learned the lesson and I'm waiting for a GOTY edition, I can't seem to find anything that entices me to buy.

I don't know, maybe I'll get the Definitve Edition of Sleeping Dogs since it's cheap and I truly enjoyed the game. Replaying it with prettier graphics could be tempting.

Stick to Civ 5 for now.  If you mainly play single player Civ 6 has even worse AI.  They will annoy every turn.  They will talk shit for no reason or even praise you nonstop.  They will ask for resources constantly and even questionable requests like asking for horses in the industrial and modern era.  Basically you will want to declare war on them just to shut them up.  Don't get me started on the world congress either.  Civ 5 least had some stuff you cared about voting.  Now you'll be forced to vote on a bunch of shit you don't even care about constantly.

Some of the new ideas for 6 are kind of neat but overall its like they dumbed it down yet made it unnecessary complicated with a bunch of shit you don't care about.
