I love CRPGs. That's what I grew up with along with computer strategy games that my dad would play. CRPGs are the closest you're gonna get to actual RPGs in the purest form that started with Dungeons & Dungeons. Which is why quite a few of them are based within the world of D&D. Which, naturally this means it's meant to be played with a group of people rather than by yourself.

But being able to experience branching storylines that encourage multiple playthroughs, webs upon webs of choices/consequences (something most RPGs these days tend to severely lack) and being able to be fully immersed in the world is really what sets CRPGs apart.

Might and Magic and Ultima were a couple of the series I played the most. But my personal favorite (which is heresy to some purists) is Icewind Dale. Primarily because of its heavier emphasis on combat and is more enjoyable playing single player. Which was something I found myself doing quite a few times, so Icewind Dale was a series I spent the most time in.

But I also loved games like Star Wars KOTOR, Dragon Age, Fallout: New Vegas, because they were fundamentally CRPGs in a new camera angle.

Exactly. I've never played DnD but from these games I can see why people love it so much and Yep, a new camera angle indeed but the same core genre. I fear for the future of Dragon age based on what they've shown us though of Veilgaurd and Fallout has gone to the dogs with F4 and the unmentionable one. I've heard rumors of a new KOTOR game though, It'd be great to see that come to fruition. I'd just love a remake/remaster so I can play it in full now as an adult.
