@sculd I do play some AAA titles as well, my last addition was Baldurs Gate 3 I think. Not sure if X4: Frontier is an AAA title.
But Baldurs Gate was really well done, with much respect to the community. X4 is more a niche thing without big competition.

@sculd @theangriestbird I do know that developers creating AAA titles do work hard as well to deliver a well polished game trying to fulfill the demand of the community and that it's hard to be as creative as a indie studio if you need to keep a really high graphic and performance standard. Thank you for making those games as well.
But I like to dive deep into mechanics of games and don't care that much about graphics.

@sculd @theangriestbird I'm super happy that I started to play mostly indie or niche games, it's super rare I buy a AAA title. Mostly because the game play does feel identical to previous titles or close to other games of that genre without adding any own ideas.
The indie sector is so much more creative and often there are really deep game mechanics. I really do enjoy exploring those, big thank you to all indie developers for being creative and working hard.

I think I spend 40h on the first chapter map and still think I missed a lot.So yeah I can confirm there is a lot to discover and there are some really awesome story moments. You just need some time to understand the DnD ruleset.
