RPG

I think the first computer game I ever played was a Gold Box Dungeons and Dragons adventure, if we're not counting text adventure games, none of which I remember.

Yes.

Seriously, if I had a genie ready to give me three wishes, the first two would be for perfect health and immortality for myself and my wife, and likely vast wealth or superpowers (depending on if the genie would grant superpowers -- I have a whole wish thing mapped out just in case).

Sometimes a game franchise forgets what it is, or even deliberately decides to become something else.

If I had to list my favorite games of the past decade, I know that Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft would be on that list, but I also know that Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dragon Age Inquisition and now Assassin’s Creed Odyssey would also be high on that thing. And I really wish, in all the really good multiplayer stuff that Blizzard is putting out, that there felt like there was anybody there willing to take one of those IP’s I love like Diablo or StarCraft and go nuts with a gigantic open world game that I could play whether or not my internet connection was up that moment.

I know, this is a perennial complaint with me. But still, I’d love to play a single player RPG with the polish and attention to detail of Overwatch. 

Basically I’ve been spending a lot of time in Ancient Greece lately and I’d love it if I could have that kind of experience in Sanctuary is what I’m saying. Anyway, it’s the Queue, let’s do this.

Back when we posted about this Overwatch turn-based RPG I wondered what else the community would get up to next.

I was first exposed to the idea of an interactive story RPG game with the Gold Box games from SSI.

Okay, so go read this post, because it sets up the rest of this.
