I'm done with Baldur's Gate 3. I enjoyed it a lot. I would say it's the best CRPG I have played so far, and it's pretty accessible as far as the genre goes, with very high production values. Mind you, I'm not a huuuge CRPG guy, but out of the ones I've played, I liked it personally the most. I just have one critique point: if you play as a power-hungry evil character, the game seems much less content-rich, and you don't really get much in return for being evil. I'm not even talking about chaotic evil.

The Pathfinder games Kingmaker and especially WoTR are much better in that regard. So are Wasteland 3 and, of course, Tyranny (which is basically mostly evil choices) if you enjoy evil playthroughs.

I guess that's my CRPG gaming done until Rogue Trader next year. Please, no spoilerinos if you're playing a 'GOOD' playthrough, and nothing about Karlach or Wyll since they left me. Since I'm a bad guy, I'm going to do a Heroic paladin OR bard ? playthrough at some point in the future, 1-2 years at the earliest.

CRPG was originally created as a term to separate them from the table top RPGs they were based on, not to distinguish them from JRPGs (which honestly share a lot of the same heritage).
