I played 1E D&D in high school, and did a little computer gaming over the years, but not much. Lately, my kids were interested in D&D, and as a Covid hobby we started playing. That got me interested in it again, and then I heard about BG3. I'm really enjoying it. So, I just ordered a laptop that can run many of these games, and I'm trying to figure out what I should play?
Are BG 1 and 2 worth playing now? Or do they seem too dated?
How about DOS 1 and/or 2?
What other titles should I be looking at?
I dislike first person shooter, I just can't keep up. Turn based is great. RPG is great. D&D even better. Something I have to think about, but don't need the reflexes of a 20 year old to be successful with.
Please, suggestions, even if they seem obvious, because they won't be for me.
Tyranny was a great game, if you like choices and factions and changing story based on decisions.
Last Epoch is great if you like action and want to run around slaughtering things and work on unique character build designs that are viable without a 'meta' < one true way > mentality about how to play a class
bg1/2 if you want the long campaign that spans over 2 games each with an expansion, and the long story of your character playing out.
pillars was actually a fairly family friendly game of this genre and even your kids could get excited about it, without worrying about nsfw content.
imho i have been looking for a long time for a game to respark my old AD&D nostalgia and most online games, hinder that. Of course, i just don't like people.
