A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Another amazing one.

Ohhh, and the original Diablo. Tristram was such a familiar place after a while.

I fucking love bullfrogs stuff so much. That and worldbuilders like Pharaoh, Rise of the middle kingdom, zeus, etc...

I need to try that after I make my way through Planescape. I started BG1, but it just didn't jibe with me all that much, which apparently is true for a lot of people. I probably should've just jumped to BG2.

I ended up going back to the first one after I finished the second one. It has its charm, and a pretty good story. level cap and the difficulty is what makes it a bit hard.

I should do another run soon. Maybe add some more mods this time...

That’s my go-to “storyline” game. I have so many great (and terrible—thanks, Lich) memories of that game.

I picked it up on a whim, not knowing a single thing about it. Next thing you know, I’m collecting every Black Isle/BG game and spinoff.
