i started getting into cRPGs back in 2012 (technically, alot earlier with oblivion, dragon age origins and mass effect games, they maybe considered a decline by codexers, but they were great introduction games for young me back then, which lead to my obsession now), which planescape: torment was my first old school cprg.
after awhile, i tried alot of RPGs, lots of them click, and some not so much. in those years, a pattern arise, and i identify more as a storyfags (or better worldbuildingfags if you consider it to be a thing) in a sense i like world with decent lore, interactivity, reactivity and choices and consequences, quest variety, instead of deep, satisfying combat mechanics and character building.
i'm practically new for some of the guys here who's been playing for decades, so that i asked for the wise men of RPG codex to help to find games for me that i might overlook.
on the top of my head, these are the list of games/series i have played so far
-planescape torment
-baldurs gate 1/2
-kotor 1/2
-jade empire
-fallout series (only the mainline games aka 1/2/3/new vegas/4 [didn't enjoy 3/4 because beth shitty everything)
-arcanum
-avadon series
-avernum series
-geneforge series
-deus ex series
-system shock 2
-gothic series
-risen series
-dragon age series
-mass effect series
-elder scrolls (especially morrowind and oblivion, didn't like skyrim too much because of alot of shallower quests and guild progression)
-age of decandence
-underrail
-all the new shadowrun games
-vampire the masquerade: bloodlines
-alpha protocol
-neverwinternight series
-wasteland series
-divinity series (except i never finished beyond divinity because it was so awful)
-witcher trilogy
-banner saga
-heroine's quest (a bit pushing it, but it does have its fair share of RPG and interesting side questing plus C&C)
-pillars of eternity
other RPGs that i enjoyed, but doesnt really click because it doesnt please my storyfaggotry:
-van helsing games
-king's bounty
-titan quest
stuff i haven't played, but owned or in wishlist
-eschalon series
-lords of xulima
-temple of elemental evil
-ultima vii
-hard west
-stasis (this too, is more a point and click adventure, but i heard it's at least RPG lite and have isometric POV)
-serpents in the staglands
-jagged alliance
-balrum
-icewind dale series
-expedition: conquistadors
and some other stuff i probably forget until someone mentioned
