Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer

  “Aggressively cliché” huh?

  So… Where are all the realistic medieval sandbox RPGs? You know, of the kind set in an actual historical period?

  Or… Or… How often has capturing the freedom and complexity of D&D in a videogame been attempted so accurately?

  For something to even approach becoming a cliché there’d have to be a lot of that particular something done in exactly that particular way. So please do give a nice long list of games exactly like Kingdom Come Deliverence and Baldur’s Gate 3, because clearly everyone must’ve missed them.

  Are you serious? Do you need help understanding the definitions of ambitious, weird, and unexpected?

  Do you need a run down of all generic clones of games bioware and bethesda have released in recent times?

    They are literally sequels. 2 and 3. That removes any chance of them being unexpected now doesn’t it you dunce.

    Ambitious, sure; if your definition of ambitious is delivering a complete game at release.

    Weird? If you think these games are weird I’ll absolutely punish your eyeballs with just some stuff on steam that will leave these two games looking absolutely mainstream.

      This would be a great reply if you didn’t call him a dunce which will likely get your comment deleted.

      Genuinely curious since that sounds interesting. What games are these?
