When that happens, these titles might scratch your RPG itch.
Its not hard to see why.
Plus,Baldurs Gate 3is technically an indie game, which makes its success even more impressive.
However, all good things must come to an end.
But what if they still feel the siren call of RPGs?
Who were they, and why were they selected to create the game?
Well, you just have to play their previous title to find out.

Wasteland 3
BeforeFallout,Wastelandwas the de-facto post-apocalyptic CRPG.
But how players go about doing it is up to them.
It also helps that the game expertly balances the bleak with the humorous.
Disco Elysium
In most RPGs, stats are fairly binary.
High stats are good and low stats are bad, especially when it comes to skill checks.
InBaldurs Gate 3, passing skill checks isnt always a good thing, and vice versa.
That is also true inDisco Elysium.
Unlike most CRPGs, though,Disco Elysiumis almost entirely narrative-based.
The game doesnt have any combat.
Dragon Age: Origins
BioWare got its start developing CRPGs.
It wasnt untilJade Empirethat BioWare finally started creating entirely original worlds.
After that game proved successful, the company decided to move forward by returning to its roots.
Dragon Age: Originsis essentially a spiritual successor to BioWaresNeverwinter NightsandBaldurs Gategames.
Essentially,Dragon Age: Originssolidified the companys specialty in crafting narratives that hinge on player decisions.
The only major issue with the game is its PC version.
Battles are tactical and play out in real-time, but players can pause them whenever they like.
The world is open and explorable, and it doesnt hold players hands.
KOTORis considered one of the bestStar Warsgames ever made for a good reason.
BioWare truly captured the essence and mystique ofStar WarswithStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
But if youre looking for the companys magnum opus, search no further thanPlanescape: Torment.
To callPlanescape: TormentCRPG royalty would be an understatement.
Theres nothing out there quite likePlanescape: Torment.
That is less a statement aboutNumenaras quality and more ofPlanescapes perfection.
Tyranny
Many video games feature a plot where the protagonist is trying to overcome a villainous antagonist.
Truthfully, there arent many, butTyrannyis one of the better ones.
One of these systems alone would makeTyrannyhighly replayable, but both in the same game?
Even the most avid CRPG fans will be busy for months.
WhileD&Dvideo games receive more attention,Pathfindervideo games are no slouches.
The number of options the offers even occasionally putBaldurs Gate 3to shame.
Add in crusade and city management systems, andPathfinder: Wrath of the Righteousis a micromanagers dream.
Solasta: Crown of the Magisteris an indie RPG that takes place in the land of Solasta.
