Why is System Shock 2 on the list if System Shock 1 hasn't won yet.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Because SS1 isn't an RPG

Using mods to skip parts of a game don't count as a completion

Voting for a game which requires good graphic card does not spark joy, btw.

If you go for DOMINATING difficulty, then Underrail it is.

Come on now. Underrail is the most recently released game on this list and it barely looks better than the original Fallout. Every other game is over 10-25 years old.
A ****** laptop would be able to run all of them just fine.

Have you actually tried playing it? Unless the laptop is very old that's strange. DAO is 15 years old.

Couple of years ago. The game works, but the laptop heats up like hell. It's not a comfortable experience.

I forgot how they don't take your characters look into effect when you start. Being an older looking guy with grey hair and being called "pup" and treated like you are in your teens is a bit... odd at the start.

dunno about DAO in particular, but lots of older games don't have a built-in fps limiter. So if you launch them on a modern machine, you will get 1000+ FPS and your computer will overheat.

Y'all been playing DAO for as long as it takes to raise a teen, and for the same amount of time - why not stop being geriatric about it?
