So; I've just finished Divinity: Original Sin now, and thoroughly enjoyed that. Got me in the mood for some more fairly classic RPGs, but I'm not sure what to play so need some advice.
On top of my wishlist are Witcher 3 and Dragon Age: Inquisition, but I'm holding off on those two until I get a better PC. The one I have now is like 6 or 7 years old and holds up well for playing stuff like Divinity and Starcraft, but nothing super fancy. The flashiest game I've played on it was probably Skyrim just when that came out (which I suppose is years ago now).
So right now I'm torn between doing:
1. Mass Effect 1
(havent played any of those, always thought they seemed a little too FPS-y, and also and I like Swords & Magic and that stuff)
Pro:
Supposedly epic
Has 2 sequels I think my PC can handle
Cheap on Steam
Cons (?):
The setting doesnt appeal to me
Seems a little monotonous (?)
Seems a little dull in its environment designs
or
2. Pillars of Eternity
At some point I do want to play this. But I'm a little scared it'll be disappointing now that I just played Divinity which I reckon is a little prettier and (I think) has more clever battles.
Pro:
Cant go wrong with Classic RPG
The Settings appeals to me a lot
Cons (?):
Kinda pricey for a Kickstarter oldschool game (like 40 euro)
Not sure if it has voice acting, and largely conversational games like that can get a bit dull if you have to just read every single thing
SO: anyone who's played either of these games (or both!) and can share their experiences?
If someone has another suggestion of a cool RPG that isn't too flashy and has a compelling enough story then please hit me.
