Was looking at their Kickstarter and Steam pages and their plans are as follows and seem very optimistic:

• A seamless 35x35km open world (for comparison, Skyrim is around 6x6km)

• Third person real time combat

• Drivable vehicles

• Racing

• Physics support

• Co-op

• Car and horse customisation

• Weather affecting gameplay

• A world that changes based on your decisions

• Many different biomes

• Vertical level design

• Immersive sim elements

And as goals if funding targets are met (even though they imply that some of them are coming to the game anyway in their Steam description and gameplay footage):

• Base building

• A driveable train base

• Minigames (like fishing, arcade machines and billiards)

• A roguelike mode

• ATOM RPG Online with dedicated servers and an online exclusive storyline

• Horse companions that you can ride

• Vehicular combat

And as for timelines they plan an alpha in July, a beta in September and early access in December 2026.

I'm someone who liked ATOM RPG, ATOM RPG Trudograd and Swordhaven so don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of the team and looking forward to their next project.

But I have to be honest and say I'm very concerned at the significant scope creep compared to their previous titles which seemed to be far more realistic in regards to their scale and ambition with gradual technical and gameplay advancement.

Considering Swordhaven only released out of early access 6 months ago and released a major content update only 2 weeks ago and their team is only like 15-25 people I fail to see how they have had the time or resources to develop this massive open world with all these huge game changing features at the same time.

I really want it to be as good as it seems but surely there has to be something up with this because there's just no way that it lives up to everything it's claimed to be given the circumstances.

Hello guys. I am a huge fan of the Infinity Engine games – Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Torment, Icewind Dale. They are some of my favourite games ever made.

I have been playing Pathfinder WoTR. I bought it because I heard it's similar to the IE games. I am early into the game (lvl 5). Sure, there are some things I may not fully understand, but overall I think I am getting most of it. Like I am pushing the game forward just fine. It doesn't feel like rocket science or anything.

So my question was why do people say that this game is very complex/difficult to get into for casual players? I do think it's complex but I haven't found it outrageously daunting.

what games have wild magic or something similar to it? I've played bg1-3

Hey there! I would love to get your takes on CRPGs that provide some real humor. I love the sense of adventure and the abundant loot and lore in CRPGs, and a sense of comedy at times would be most welcome.

Think of HK-47 in KOTOR, or the banter between Morrigan and Alistair in DAO. And the CRPGs you recommend don't have to just have funny characters. They can have funny scenarios.

I'd welcome other game suggestions. Shakespeare wrote that "brevity is the soul of wit," so I definitely don't want or expect laugh-out-loud comedy throughout a CRPG. That would be tonally incorrect. Rather, I'm seeking some funny scenarios here and there, a funny character or two, and a nice little quip.

Lastly, if you could ideally keep it high-level, as I probably haven't played the games you're suggesting, that would be grand.

Thanks for your ideas!

Anyone else here think the Obsidian CRPG’s were peak Obsidian? I’ve recently replayed PoE 1, Deadfire and am working through Tyranny. I beat them years ago but they have recently become my new obsession.

Hey all, looking for an RPG where magic actually feels like "magic", not a tool that the majority of people have access to. Looking for magic that is dark, mysterious, not well understood by most of the population, etc.

Removed Tags

We haven't often removed tags from Steam, so we've built up quite a list. The set that we've removed today are done so because they no longer serve a good purpose for establishing connections between games or describing unique and useful elements of content in the game. Many of these tags have alternative options on Steam that better describe the content, and already have a high degree of overlap in application.

For example, both the "NSFW" tag and the "Mature" tag have a very high degree of overlap with more descriptive tags such as "Gore", "Violent", and "Sexual Content".

Some of the other tags that we are removing today are perhaps too subjective like "Well-Written" and "Masterpiece", resulting in disagreements and inconsistent application. Some tags just don't apply to very many products, such as "Drama" and "Ambient".

And lastly, there are a number of tags that apply to specific intellectual property, an attribute that community-sourced information like tags is not well suited for. These collections of intellectual property are typically already covered by the developers and publishers setting up franchise pages to collect together officially all the content shared by that IP.

Here is the full list of tags being removed:

• 3D Vision
• Ambient
• America
• Blood
• Crowdfunded
• Cult Classic
• Documentary
• Drama
• Dungeons & Dragons
• Electronic
• Experience
• Feature Film
• Foreign
• GameMaker
• Games Workshop
• Illuminati
• Kickstarter
• LEGO
• Masterpiece
• Mature
• Movie
• Narration
• NSFW
• Roguevania
• RPGMaker
• Warhammer 40K
• Web Publishing
• Well-Written

I recently started BG3 as my first party and turn-based CRPG. With no knowledge or understanding of CRPGS, builds, or DnD, I chose to play as Gale and kind of disastrously crashed my way through the first four levels while still having a blast. I killed Scratch, I killed the Owlbear Cub, I killed the Hag, and on and on. I started to get my act together around Level 5, and then things got really fun.

I played very exhaustively and had about 90 hours in by the time I was at Shar's Gauntlet in Act 2. That's when things started to run out. It all started to feel a bit chore-like and samey, even though individual moments were spectacular. I had been playing with Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Astarion in my party from the start and never used Karlach or Wyll. As I started to understand the systems and rules, my connection to playing as Gale got less and less. I never did any respecs using Withers. I played mostly blind. I started to get a sense of the kind of character I actually could get "into character" playing. Ultimately, I lost enough interest that I needed a break and even deleted the game file.

I understand from reading online that I'm not unique and that my experience is very common in sprawling CRPGS. For you veterans, what are some tips you would give me to help keep the game fun and fresh over many hours when I do a second replay with creating my own character? For context, I typically play only one game at a time.

I have seen so many newcomers of CRPG ask "what CRPG should I play after bg3?" or "what CRPG are good for newcomers" or "I have played all of Larian games what other CRPG should I play". This is not to put hate to newcomers but most people just recommend WOTR. So can the moderation just have an auto response if some ask for a recommendation.

Hello guys, it's 03:34 AM here and I really felt I needed to make this post before going to sleep. I apologize if anything is not fully coherent or cohesive.

So I am a big fan of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2. I think they are absolutely amazing games, even despite their age. I am currently playing BG2 for the 2nd time ever and having a great time. I do think these games are really good.

Baldur's Gate 3, however, seems to be much better known to people. It's frequently mentioned on mainstreaming gaming forums, whilst something like BG2 probably isn't. Most people discuss it completely in separation from the first two games, without even mentioning them. Like, for example, searching for "Baldur's Gate 2" on Youtube or something like r/pcgaming or r/gaming is still going to bring up BG3 results. Also, Baldur's Gate 3 (for reasons unknown to me) has become MASSIVELY more popular than even some recent games, like WoTR or Disco Elysium. Baldur's Gate 3 also won industry awards, which BG1 or 2 did not (for whatever reason that I do not understand). I am a soon-to-graduate college student, and during the few times I hung out with the people from my university Baldur's Gate 3 was a frequent topic of debate, whilst nobody really knows Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 (we are talking about people of 23-24). What admittedly kind of pisses me off is that people have been using "Baldur's Gate" as a synonym for Baldur's Gate 3, which does feel kind of insulting. I mean nobody is using "Metal Gear Solid" as a shorthand for MGSV. That seems to also be the case for people from my college. We are not English speakers, and they use the shortened name "Baldur" to refer to BG3 specifically.

My question is, do you think Baldur's Gate 3 is "erasing" Baldur's Gate 1 or 2? Are they no longer good games? Do you think it is going to, or has, completely replaced them as a brand? Or outshone them so that nobody cares about them? Like, will anyone still remember them a decade from now?

Or, like, do you think a middle of the road approach is possible – nobody cares about them except for me and like 500 people, but they are still good games? Just an example

I do think they are great and amazing games and should not be erased but I was wondering what you thought about it. I hope people are going to be nice and not rude. I am going to read your replies after waking up. Have a good night!

An in depth review of Zero Parades: For Dead Spies from ZA/UM's, their first game since Disco Elysium. Minimal spoilers. I'm purposely vague on any story or missions

TLDR: I'm looking for a crpg with great build depth and choices that actually affect the story and/or the world.

Hey. So I tried Pathfinder WotR a month or two ago as my first crpg and honestly I fell in love, especially with the amount of thought I needed to put when building both the main character and other party members, and also how almost every single choice I make affects the story.

Now I'm looking for another crpg to play alongside it.

I tried Tyranny for only a couple of hours, and I really liked how many choices I have to make and the effect of them, but the character building was way simpler than WotR, which disappointed me a bit.

I heard Pathfinder was considered deep in character building even among other crpgs, so I wanted to know what games are similar to its level in character building and choices that affect the story.

I don't really care about graphics, voice acting, "polish," or similar things. As long as I can distinguish what I see, it has turn based mode (preferred but optional), and the story doesn't seem like it's a children cartoon then I'm fine with anything.

Thank you!

I have played and loved Pathfinder Wotr, BG3, Warhammer Rogue Trader. I tried but I didn't like DOS2. I also tried BG 1 but found the RTwP gameplay frustrating(I usually play as a ranged spell caster). I play on PC if that helps.
