Jrpg fag here. I want to play a wrpg. Ive done the basic ones,

gold box are too dated

If you've played BG1 and haven't played BG2 you owe it to yourself to do so. Theres a reason it's still considered by many to be an all time great. Gold box games are just fine, but they work off of hardcore AD&D rules, which if you aren't familiar with you're probably fucked. They have no form of a tutorial or the like and the UI can be fairly convoluted. I'd also recommend Arcanum. Made by the same folks that made Fallout 1+2 it's a steampunk setting where magic and technology are at odds. Fantastic story and dialogue system that emphasise player choice.

Play actual DnD you tard

D&D is obsolete. play something better designed.

Just play Skyrim

>immersive
Albion, Ultima (IV onwards), Darklands
>well written
Betrayal at Krondor
>good rpg mechanics
Realms of Arkania, Wizardry (VI-VIII), Might&Magic (Xeen onwards)

Goldbox are indeed great, but I would advise to try out some other gems before those (can be very intimidating due to UI and heavy use of the manual).

Well Planescape Torment, duh

I had my eye on arcanum. I was saving bg2 as my last bioware game so I can at least pretend to leave off on a high note.

I've played some DnD before, so the more archaic stuff isn't off limits to me at all. When I decided to play dq1 to see the granddad of jrpgs I did so without fast forward or anything which takes a lot of fucking mind numbing patience.

Play the Quest for Glory games
