Long before the recent upswell of popularity Dungeons & Dragons has experienced, before Critical Role, and before Roll20 there were custom games & persistent world servers in Neverwinter Nights. For me, despite the dated graphics and occasionally buggy connectivity issues, it's still a great RPG and one of the pinnacles of tabletop to laptop transitions.

9 RepliesHaving a skill tree and a backpack doesn't make a game an RPG. I will die on this hill! The bottom option is just adventure games. I can enjoy both these options.

6 RepliesEdited by The First Aifos: 1/20/2021 9:13:14 PMIf done properly, I think a modern RPG has the greater potential to be good. However, in actual execution I find most modern RPGs to feel a little bland, while isometric and top down ones feel much more unique, and interesting. So, I’ll have to go with classic.

Edited by LahDsai: 1/21/2021 11:28:18 AMI'm gonna have to go with 1st/3rd person. Isometric was great back in the day but now they feel claustrophobic to me. There's also that feeling that you're always distanced from the action. Overall it's less immersive for me. That said, isometric works well if you're playing a party rather than a single character, such as [i]Divinity[/i] or [i]FFT[/i].

2 Repliesuhhhh... guess Kingdom Hearts is modern so that. i’m not good with genres. or is it considered a JRPG because it’s made in Japan? but then at that point isn’t like Dark Souls a JRPG because it’s Japanese? idk. genres are dumb anyway. game is game
-
That's just completely up to the developers to make the content in the game. The viewpoint is just the starting point but that really doesn't matter in an RPG where the writing is the main aspect.

Old school

Modern rpgs. Oblivion is the best elder scrolls game and no one can change my mind
-
I never played a CPRPG? Only modern rpg games, I got Skyrim 6 years ago I think, and Witcher III a week ago

2 RepliesEdited by Warlock Holmes: 1/20/2021 9:29:48 PMSome of the first video games I really played were top down isometric games. Baldurs Gate, Icewindale, Planescape: Torment, and other games like that. Some are still some of my favorite games and Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn would still be my choice of favorite video game for many reasons. I am not ruling out the possibility that nostalgia may be one of those reasons. I love the style of the games. At the same time I have played many modern style RPGs that I love. Morrowind, Oblivion, and New Vegas are some examples. I like isometric games but I also like the more modern ones. Sometimes I feel like playing one and sometimes the other. So I will go with the nonexistent both category.

My immersion

Top downs give me headaches [spoiler]twirls stache [/spoiler]

1st/3rd person are just so good at immersion, especially if the world is as rich as it is in Elder Scrolls or Fallout. I think it’s the tone that keeps me coming back to Bethesda. Skyrim is pretty good but it’s got a lot less heart than oblivion and it shows in the mindless dungeon crawling and boring quests, so I tend not to binge that one as much. Onward is a good game, nobody talks about it as much as they should.
-
I like Xenoblade (1 and x specifically) It has a move list that combines traditional rpg combat with modern style
-
Top downs have their place, Fallout 2 is one of my favorite games ever. But 1st person games are just better.
-
I just can't seem to get as immersed in top down style games.
-
Where’s the option for both?
-
Probably modern (third person) out of the options. TBRPGs over both though.
-
I've only ever played the Modern ones, so that one.
