I'm finally falling down the old CRPG rabbit hole, and just wanted to know if I'm missing any classics or hidden gems on my Odyssey of a list.
I've been wanting to get into the genre for a while now, occasionally picking up games in steam sales that look good. Recently I started playing Baldur's Gate 1. (just got to chapter 5) and I already know I'm hooked. I bought a bunch of games in the Steam Autumn sale, and I'm just looking for any recommendations to add onto it. Mostly for stuff like "Oh, you won't understand this mechanic without seeing it's first implementation in this other game" or "You should probably play this game before that game so you don't get spoiled randomly" or "Skip this one, it's overhyped"
So far I've got:
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2
Fallout
Fallout 2
Icewind Dale
Planescape Torment
Neverwinter Nights
Divinity Original Sin
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Underrail
SKALD: Against the Black Priory (this one I never heard about before, but just looked cool)
I also see Arcanum for only $6 right now, and I've heard that it belongs on the CRPG mount Rushmore alongside BG1, Fallout, and Planescape Torment.
I know it'll take me ages to actually finish these games, but I'm not in any rush at the moment.
If it helps with knowing what to recommend, I always play every RPG first time through as a wizard or similar paralell (so, energy weapons, science, repair, and medicine in Fallout)
