You know like the old Fallouts and baldurs gate 1 and 2, Which game is the most accessible of these lot?

Obviously the old Fallouts aren’t infinity but they’re very similar regardless.

    For modern games, Pillars of Eternity 1+2 are probably the most accessible, followed by Divinity Original Sin 1+2, and then Owlcat’s Rogue Trader and Pathfinder: Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous. Personally I found PoE a bit too simple, and got tired of DOS 2’s environment based combat, but the Pathfinder games are pretty heavy on mechanics and builds so aren’t great choices for people who aren’t already familiar with PF1/D&D 3.x. I’m currently finding Rogue Trader to be a nice mix of mechanical complexity and accessible gameplay, and I’d definitely say the Owlcat games are the best storywise, with a good array of approaches to dialogue and choices depending on how you want to play the character.

      Yeah pillars 1 is great. Could not finish 2 for some reason. Baldurs gate 3 was awesome as well.

      That’s kins of why I went back to older games.

      Playing though Icewindale EE rn. Will keep yall updated on my experience.

        If you liked BG3 you kinda owe it to yourself to try the Pathfinder games - They’re serious about player choice in a way WotC haven’t been for going on 2 decades, so there are a lot more options for building characters, and a much wider range of ways to and reasons for dealing with situations. Admittedly they’re not as pretty, but that’s the only place BG3 beats them.
