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!".

  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 games with excessive, non-artistic NSFW content (e.g. hentai or porn games).

  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.

Sadly, I think Mass Effect Andromeda and (presumably) DA Veilguard are leagues above (say) Starfield and mechanically.

And narratively, in some ways.

If some AA had released Andromeda/Veilguard without launch bugs, as original IPs, the reception would be very different.

It’s just that expectations are so different. Dragon Age: Origins/ME2 are very high bars, and the IPs are so precious.

And narratively, in some ways.

I could eat nothing but mac n cheese, hamburger, corn, and hot cheetoes for a month and generate a more compelling story in my bowels than all three of these games.
