Hi gamers, what did you play this year? What was your favourite game?

bonus question - Are you going to grab anything at the Steam winter sale?

      Wrath is miles better. Way more QoL features and a better overall progression system. I got locked in Kingmaker like 20 hours in and ruined my save game. Wrath doesn't do this kind of shit. And the story itself is better. Mythic Paths are also awesome if you want several playthrough.

      I did not play Kingmaker. I had heard Wrath was the better game, so I just jumped there. The Pathfinder system honestly intimidates the hell out of me. And I GM a Shadowrun table. It really just seems like incredible levels of crunch, and I'm happy to have the computer do it for me. But even with that wasn't sure I would like it, but it was honestly one of the better CRPG experiences I've had.

      It is far above Kingmaker (which wasn't bad but had a ton of issues); in fact I still place it above BG3 (specifically for the scenario, writing, setting, and ruleset - all above BG3 by far) though I'd likely be in the minority in that. Truly the best "generalist" CRPG I played since BG2.
