Community for CRPG games and other RPG gaming discussions. Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Baldurs Gate as well as indie RPGs (Underrail, Avernum, Space Wreck etc.). Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".


Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.

Maybe not Age of Decadence itself, but it launched in the middle of a time where crunchy CRPGs were having a moment, and that moment has a direct path to trace forward to Baldur's Gate 3. Regardless of D&D branding, Divinity: Original Sin 2 was already a multimillion seller that scored in the 90s on Open Critic; in a lot of ways, BG3's success was preordained, which is why they were confident enough to increase the budget so much over their last games.
