Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer (www.pcgamer.com)

Yes! BG3 and KC2 devs made amazing games but for some reason decided to have them take place in the most generic, boring medieval/fantasy setting.

I want a pirate RPG, or sci-fi, heck even a hardcore Mario CRPG.

It's BECAUSE of the generic, boring medieval fantasy settings that they were successful.

You are all over this thread. We get it, you dont like medievil fantasy.... clearly not a popular opinion.

[–] Galle_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Exactly.

Maybe KCD2 is for you then, it got rid of the fantasy part and has historic figures in it instead.
