A canonical list of CRPGs on Steam, GoG and IGS
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"]Steam's categorization abilities is really poor. I don't quite understand why I can't go into my Library and sort by the same things that I can sort the store for. Three-quarters of the games that I have I couldn't tell you their genre. And there's no way to check. :( So let's make a list, and start off with CRPGs. I guess the first kind of list that I want to make is one of CRPGs "like Baldur's Gate." That is the one genre that I'd like to play a game in again. I would categorize the distinct elements of this kind of game as this: - At least 4 members of a party, preferably at least 6 - You can see the dudes on the screen. (Not necessarily at all times -- Wasteland 2 counts.) - Your characters can have distinct capabilities, powers, abilities and they all look different - Turn-based combat I'm avoiding blobber CRPGs like Bard's Tale and Wizardry for now. That will be a future list. Off the top of my head, these games would count for what I've described above: Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate II Wasteland II Shadowrun Returns Shadowrun: Dragonfall Shadowrun: Hong Kong Fallout Fallout 2 Serpent in the Staglands Dead State AntharioN (Underrail has just the one character, I think? Not sure about Lords of Xulima.) ICJ[/quote]
