I don't know if I'm old school, back when gold box were a thing they just weren't available where I lived. It was this sort of mythic treasure akin to trying to find a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga in the wild. Nowadays I tend towards modern sensibilities, inconvenient interfaces and mechanics won't make me young again. I'm pretty hyped about where BG3 is, maybe it will need a few mods to truly shine.
Played a bit of DDO fairly recently. It took me well over a decade to find someone to play with since playing with randos isn't all that fun. Good game with some fun quests and also the Twelve.
