In my defense; I play good games as well. :P Currently finishing my second playthrough of Pathfinder Kingmaker (which actually made me go out and buy Pathfinder Pen & Paper system!).

My spring PC plans seem to have taken a hit though, with GPU's being rare as unicorns, no properly tempting display being released any time soon, and now RAM seems to be hurtling towards the sky in regards to price. I recently read that memory sticks were increasing in price by around 10% per day at online retailers here, this was at the end of February. Damn it!

First of all, thanks for acknowledging that Fifa isn't a good game XD.

Sadly, I didn't play RPGs back in the day, heck my first rol game was FF 7, and now those games like Pathfinder Kingmaker, Divinity or Pillars of Eternity seem to complex for a newby like me. But I plan to change that! I grabbed Pillars of Eternity when the EGS gave it away and I'll give it a go sooner or later (first I want to finish the trio of new Wolfenstein games, done with Old Blood and in the middle of New Order).

The PC hardware situation is sadly very disappointing. About this time last year I had to postpone my plan to upgrade half of my PC (new CPU and everything related to that, even RAM), but given how things have gone, I doubt I would have been able to upgrade without spending more money than necessary. Let's hope things start to settle down "soon" and prices go back to normal... whatever that means nowadays.

Pillars of Eternity would be highest on my list of recommended games of those you mentioned, it's not as complex as Kingmaker or the Divinity games. It's quite difficult though, you need to be strategic a lot of the time. Divinity is the better game of the lot, but Kingmaker, to me, is a bit more fun and it works on a system very familiar to me since I'm an old RPG nerd since the mid-'90s.
