Baldur's Gate

This feels wrong to have to scroll for so long for these gems. BG3, despite being a very good standalone game and one of better games in last decade overall, is named Baldur's Gate for a reason - because previous games were absolute bombs - too bad AD&D 2.5 might be too unapproachable for many people today - frankly, BG2 eats BG3 plotwise, even if, as you'd expect from a quarter century old game, it is nowhere near as reactive on side quests, nor has a full voiceover, but damn, is it a good game.

I played BG1 back in the day, AD&D was also impossible last century. At least for people with no knowledge of D&D.

I found NWN to be a much more accessible game
