I just got into Dragon Age: Origins because I was looking for an RPG to sink some hours into and I've seen it praised as one of the best RPGs of all time and I must say, I might agree.

What are some of your favorites that time forgot?

Me: "Dragon Age Origins isn't old, it was released when I was in high sch-ooooooh..."

Guess this means I can just give you a list of some of my favourite games (๐Ÿ˜ž), in the order in which I can remember them:

  • Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War (+Winter Assault, +Dark Crusade)

  • Stronghold Crusader*

  • Sims 2 (with more or less every expansion)

  • BioShock

  • Arx Fatalis

  • The Longest Journey

  • The two Star Wars KOTOR games

  • Unreal Tournament 2004

  • Thief + Thief II

  • System Shock 2

Man, I never see praise for The Longest Journey. Did you play Dreamfall and Dreamfall Chapters? I love the world building in these later games.

I did play Dreamfall and I've been meaning to go through Chapters, too, but I need the proper headspace for these. The Longest Journey is one of my absolute favourite games/series, and I'm very invested in the story (still!), so I don't want to just rush through it, y'know?

And, agreed, they don't get nearly as much love and attention as they should, wonderful games!
