Not to be confused with the Diablo have and slash games, I don't think these count. I'm talking your Baldaurs gate, Divinity Original sin, Original Fallout series, Pillars of Eternity, Path Finder or even Disco Elysium or Torment: Tides of Nummanera and the like, detailed choice based role-playing games with isometric views and close to table top rules or elements.
These games are very deep, very immersive and often very complex. I wanna know what others on here love most about these games. Is it the immersion? The choices, the pause/turn based and chance based combat, the way the stories are told, the loot, the worlds that require imagination and in that the roleplaying, a solitary DnD experience or something else.
Tis genre has experienced a great rivial omso what is the big reason/s that you love this genre for the most for and why do you play these games?
Personally, I love the immersion and getting lost in something big and grand with a feeling like what I do matters. The feeling of vastness but also the depth in a world I'm effecting on an adventure that lies ahead with seemingly infinite possibilities. I've yet to play Baldaurs gate 3 and I imagine this will be the best experience I'll ever have in gaming since Divinty OS2 is my 2nd favourite game of all time. I have to wait until Black Friday. Right now I can't hold my excitement, hence the thread.
