indie/small devs are absolutely obsessed with purple & green colors for some reason, I expect it to become a AAA fad too
it's been an fad outside of indie sphere for a while now

Ultima Underworld tho
I'm ambivalent on UU - it has some im sim elements, but those are mostly a continuation the simulationist elements of Ultima VII. Not really sure if either UU1 or the sequel should count.

► Potential Games
I suggest adding original Baldur's Gate games as well, 1 and 2 are such a fucking epic story. I suppose a lot of people here played them already, but such is the case with many of the other games displayed here, so I think they'd be a great addition. Plus they have basically infinite replay value.

@Oyster Sauce what's your plan if there's a tie?
RNG to decide the winner. If it's a bunch of games tied at 1 vote, I simply kill myself.

For the 3rd time in 3 years, I just tried to play DAO again. Every time I get to the end of Lothering and realize it's too boring to continue.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic


Choose Your Path!

Four thousand years before the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Republic verges on collapse. Darth Malak , last surviving apprentice of the Dark Lord Revan, has unleashed an invincible Sith armada upon an unsuspecting galaxy.

Crushing all resistance, Malak’s war of conquest has left the Jedi Order scattered and vulnerable as countless Knights fall in battle, and many more swear allegiance to the new Sith Master. In the skies above the Outer Rim world of Taris, a Jedi battle fleet engages the forces of Darth Malak in a desperate effort to halt the Sith's galactic domination.

Hundreds of Jedi Knights have already fallen in battle against the ruthless Sith. You are the last hope of the Jedi Order. Can you master the awesome power of the Force™ on your quest to save the Republic? Or will you fall to the lure of the dark side? Hero or villain, savior or conqueror... you alone will determine the destiny of the entire galaxy!

Troubleshooting + Community Patch

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_ ... d_Republic

Community patch I found on PCGW. Skimmed the changes and saw that it speeds up the diving/space suits so I'm sold.

So who's joining me in going through act 1 only leveling once?

And does the steam version have cloud saves?

Tried playing KOTOR last year and finished act 1 (stole Ebon Hawk from Davik), but then stopped playing. Tried booting up the old save file, and now I don't remember what i was doing.

Gonna have to start over again.

One of the points of AG was to play games that most people probably haven't played, therefore, you get to play Crystals of Arborea @Vergil

Can KOTOR be finished without the community patch or is it a Bethesda level bug fest in its vanilla state?

I've never used any sort of mod or patch for KOTOR I and have played it just fine dozens of times.
