Like how Baldur's Gate 3 is based on Dungeons and Dragons.
I love how Disco Elysium revolves around talking and the occassional dice roll for checks. I love how combat is not thrown around willu nilly.
It’s based on a TTRPG campaign the creators did, but it was a heavily homebrewed version of D&D I believe
Thanks. I wish there were more games like it.
If memory serves, Kurvitz Et Al didn't even really know what D&D was like. All they knew for certain was that you roll dice and stuff happens. Disco Elysium was built on a custom system they came up with while trying to imagine what D&D was like.
I read it was a heavily homebrewed version of a bad Finnish translation of D&D lol
Citizen Sleeper comes close for a game with a smaller budget/scope.
I'll give it a whirl
