Comment on What's the longest, hardest fantasy rpg out there?

Never played it but I’ve heard good things about Darklands along the lines of what you’re looking for.
I wish I were young enough to enjoy sprawling RPGs again. I bought BG3 but I don’t have the time to devote to it like I used to so it molders in my Steam library.

Well, I’m mid-forties, work full time, and have a child. However, I was miserable and it got pretty bad. Eventually, with the help of a lot of therapy, I began to understand the importance of taking care of myself in an actual and meaningful way. When you sideline BG3 in lieu of other priorities, the thing that gets deprioritized isn’t the game, it is you. This concept seemed crazy to me at first, but I am now starting to understand it and believe that it is important enough to share.
It’s okay to tell people that you have gaming time between 6pm and 7pm nightly. No phone, no chores, just you and an adventure.

It’s not for lack of personal time. I just have way more things to fill that personal time. Playing with my radios or messing with my homelab or building out grammar and lexica for my conlangs and so on. I think I’ve also discovered my tastes have changed. I don’t want video games to frontload all the complexity anymore. How am I supposed to know what this or that class or race or stat does before even starting the game?
My vision being what it is a lot of games are unplayable now anyway.
