/vrpg/ is a place to discuss all types of role-playing video games, including single-player, multi-player, and massively multi-player, turn-based and real-time action, western-style and JRPG.

Does this mean RPGs are banned on other video game boards? No! /vrpg/ is just a separate board specifically focused on RPGs where discussions about your favorite games can thrive.

Please familiarize yourself with the rules and remember to use the spoiler function where appropriate!

Please note that, like /v/, "Generals"—long-term, one-after-the-other, recurring threads about a specific game are not permitted on /vrpg/. Such threads belong on >>>/vg/.

BG1-2 (and even ToB, even though it's Inon Zur instead of Michael Hoenig) probably has the highest quality of orchestral works I've heard in a video game; it's on another level compared to the competition. One thing about it I appreciated back then was how taverns being the hub center of every area, they'd each get their own specific, zone related song in BG2. Kinda like how a character gets his own theme in movies. It sets the tone just right.
The witcher series (mostly 2 and 3) is a good contender as well. One of the few games where the music track feels tailored to the game's universe rather than just made to fit in any game of the genre.
Both have a lot of good titles with very few forgettable ones.

Not Etrian Odyssey though because I don't have a handheld that can play the games that ain't on the switch.

Vaguely looking for something that scratches the same kind of itch that Aidyn Chronicles does, where you can customize characters in your party to a large degree, even if they're named.

After growing up doing the classic six man comp, lately I’ve enjoyed doing variations of the stereotypical four man fighter/cleric/thief/mage. I tend to do this nowadays even in games with a six man limit. Fun to do paladin MC, cleric, bard (dex skill monkey moonlighting as thief), mage. Depending on the ruleset, I’ll either have the paladin and bard as frontliners, with a squishy cleric and mage in back line, or paladin and tanky cleric in the front, with the bard with a bow as a sniper.

I always wanted to get into this genre more, 20 years ago I played BG1 and BG2 but I never really got into DND as a system. Recently I finished BG3 for the second time on tactician and I had a blast. I had to learn as I played because I never tried tabletop RPGs before. I started reading about the Pillars series or Pathfinder, but I don't know if it's something I would be into. I am way more interested in the characters and story rather than the complexity of combat. Are they any good ?

>>3482822
yet to play bg3,but here is my retarded take based purely on what you said you are looking for
>I am way more interested in the characters and story rather than the complexity of combat
Planescape Torment, high int wis and cha for more interesting dialog choices
Disco Elysium
Arcanum, play as mage w/ starting hurt spell

both PF and PoE are great for the combat and related systems first and foremost
personally I find the writing in PF games to be subpar overall but admittedly I hate the setting and half of companions with a burning passion, so maybe that's just me
PoE suffers from pacing issues and episodically from "walls of text" exposition
come to think of it PF games suffer from even more severe pacing issues

>great world building

Planescape Torment

Arcanum

>>3482822
I think Pillars of Eternity is the way to go for what you are searching. It has expansive worldbuilding and a few really good companion characters and the main story has multiple layers of depth to it once you get into it. Granted, it has an issue of a slow start and even though I am very much a fan of the game, I was filtered by it initially.

Other option would be Dragon Age Origins. I think its certainly a must-play for the genre and it would probably be easier to get into than Pillars, as it is both more cinematic and is more or a traditional hero's journey. Most of the companions are also great. And even though the sequels have issues, they are worth a playthrough if you like Origins.

Finally, I would suggest Tyranny. Its the same engine as Pillars, but it takes some new spins in terms of gameplay that make it more fun. It had a troubled development, so it isn't as in-depth as it could be, but I still found it to be a great game over all.

I wouldn't recomend Pathfinders initially, as the story is weaker and depth of gameplay takes centre stage. Rogue Trader is way better for story, but it suffers from the same underdevelopment problem as Tyranny, which *might* be addressed after 2 years of patches.

What if the game had a Weird Route that involved performing specific actions to manipulate the Wild East characters, make the Feisty Five fight lethal, and get Starlo chasing after you culminating in a boss fight? Maybe even a final boss with its own ending, though that might be too much feature creep

picrel. Yes I'm for real, it's pretty good
how far into the game have you progressed?
backstory is doing that morrowind thing where you learn about ancient stories that affect game events and I love that shit, severed hand is probably among my top gaming sections/levels evar for this alone
it also helps that the sidequests are often directly related to the main plot, not just some random "save my puppy" fetch shit
