[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9838546, member: 6704184"] Ive been playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and i love it. It adds to the original story in small ways thst i like, giving more character to minor characters for instance. At some point i will finish my gnome artificer playthrough of BG3... I just dont actually find the main story all that compelling, and i find the racial essentialism implied in how the goblins act for instance to be deeply cringe. And I dont care about mindflayers usually so that doesnt help. And...somehow it makes 5e combat kinda boring without extensive mods. Like, bonus action to jump is crazy. Trying to play a monk like that was painful. And tbh they game plays better if you cheat-level to 3 at the end of the tutorial and go from there, increasing the difficulty if needed to compensate. 5e characters are terrible to play in a video game until level 3. What I have played of Solasta is actually a lot more fun in terms of actual gameplay, though, so I am very interested in Solasta 2. Finally, I have played a little bit of DA Veilguard, and I like it so far. The opening action is fun if repetitive with DAI, and nearly all NPCs so far are just furniture, not even one-note talking furniture, which is disappointing. Overall, I would say that what I want and am not currently finding is an RPG with no filler. Don't make me to BS in order to move along, just get to the next thing. FF7 Remake is especially annoying about this, but at least it's side quests are mostly very short. BG3 you can skip basically anything but the game sucks if you do. (and who is gonna not get a dog and an owlbear cub?) I just want something that is like a final fantasy game but with the only side quests existing in parts of the game where you aren't thematically supposed to be getting the heck on with something important. Not sure what I want even exists tbh. [/QUOTE]
