I think my first Bethesda game was Skyrim and I love Skyrim. I’ve played through Skyrim when it first came out I played through it again in the DLC came out. I played through it again on the switch I have since played through it again on PC. I love Skyrim. I played it so many times and I know it’s a meme to keep re-releasing the game but it is just genuinely very good game.

I’ve played fallout three I tried to get into new Vegas. I played fallout four up to like level 40 just today actually and I’ve tried fallout 76. I know the gameplay is almost the same as the Skyrim game but I just can’t get into fallout and I don’t know what it is about that series . Maybe you can help me figure it out because I just don’t think this game is captivating.

It seems like there’s just less to do in the world enemies are Raiders or mutants and maybe some creatures and I guess sky rooms really the same it’s just different factions of humans but it just seems less copy and pasted than fallout does and of course Skyrim has the same dungeons, but so does fallout.

Is it just the genre of playing in a wasteland instead of a fantasy world the only real difference between the elder scrolls games in the fallout games?

You might enjoy more classical CRPGs, the Bethesda version of games tends to be more environmental comma /action RPG.

Fallout 1, fallout 2, even fallout New Vegas are closer to the CRPG format.

The best modern example is baldur's gate 3. That is definitely a CRPG where you can get invested in the story.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEQ7KR9enYdQsB6kcMnw0NA This YouTuber reviews lots of CRPGs, they're a good resource if you want to see if you're interested in other options. There's an excellent CRPGs out there that don't cost a lot of money. That are easy to get lost in for days

Thanks! I do like the crpg genre and played a decent amount of fallout 2. Not too competition, but I imagine I got pretty far or possibly near the end.

I think there is a series called dragon fall. I have that from Epic games as a free game.

Are there any specific crpgs you recommend?

Boulder gate 3 of course.

Space wreck is a good one

Divinity original sin 1 and 2

Depending on how patient you are atom RPG is really good

Colony ship was excellent

Wasteland 2, wasteland 3. More action RPG than CRPG but if you like the fallout 1 and 2 series, it kind of scratches the itch. But not as much narrative impact

Disco Elysium is pleasant, but it's less CRPG and more experimental exploration, but it's nice

I haven't played it myself but I hear good things about rogue trader

I really liked baldurs gate, but got burnt out by the time I made it to act 3 and just quit the game. Maybe I’ll go back to it at some point.

I loved disco, it was the first game I played on the steam deck. After a couple hours, my wife asked me what I was watching😂 she thought Cuno was so annoying.

I’ll check out these other ones, I’d love to find a new crpg.
