Don’t worry about classes/builds in this game, just after that Alexander fight that was described, you get to your ‘base’ and in there you can freely respec every character in your group, change their attributes, talents, even appearance, etc.

If you feel intimidated by those aspects of the genre, you could always try some good games in the genre that are a little bit simpler, in the sense of being harder to fuck up. You could try the original Fallout, which is an all time classic game. Or you could try something more modern like the Shadowrun games made by…
If you play it on the easiest difficulty...it’s still decently fun, but the combat isn’t as challenging or punishing. This means it’s much easier to just have fun playing through it with sub-optimal builds
Really good review. I feel the same way, and I’m only about 10 hours in. I thought it was really good, but I am frustrated keeping track of various side quests, and where to go to complete them. Some quests I swear I’ve finished but it still doesn’t say complete. A game like Witcher or Fallout told me on the map where…
Texas is full of liberals. They congregate in the triangle, though, so it’s easy to get confused about Texans.
Progressive Texans are better at talking about progressive issues than anyone else I know, I honestly think it’s because they have so much practice!
There are quite a few of us and always have been (John Henry Faulk, Molly Ivins, Bill Moyers). Being in this right-wing lunatic asylum masquerading as a state tends to make left-of-center types a feistier bunch.
For all the talk of the younger generation being a bunch of “Snow Flakes” we’re really just a bunch of people raised to see the value in EVERYONE. Ya know? Probably the first generation raised on “inclusion of all” being a strong principal of our education.
It’s likely not coincidental. Once one person in a group or organization speaks up, especially if they are of high status, others get the courage to do so too. It’s sort of a reverse bystander effect. If everyone ignores something, most people will also ignore it, but if one person calls attention to a problem )of any…
If you live here and pay attention, Dallas provides plenty of opportunities to get “woke” up.

Not a video game but you might enjoy Descent: Journeys Into Darkness. It’s a board game and its pretty sweet.
I’m not sure how good the app is, but I’m sure it’ll be fine for learning and such. With one person playing as the Overlord, it becomes a more interactive game. One thing to keep in mind is that I hear the Descent can possibly become rather one-sided, so just like D&D it is imperative for the DM/GM/Overlord to…
And I think each quest can take between 45 minutes and 2 hours, depending on how you play.
The base game comes with 20 quests, and that’s before you look into user-generated quests. You might even try your hand in creating your own (and then you’ll be just a hop, skip, and jump away from full-fledged D&D). There’s also this: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2013/1/11/announcing-the-descent-quest-va…
Yeah, you’re basically describing Divinity.
As others are saying, Baldur’s Gate would be a decent starting point, but as an avid D&D player and game master, I haven’t gotten into it or enjoyed my time trying to go back to play it.
D&D in video game form is significantly different from the tabletop experience. That said, if you wanted to “try out” D&D as a video game I’d suggest Baldur’s Gate. Or actually any fantasy RPG since, well, video games came to be because they all took their cues from D&D.
Divinity is the closest. butt he thing that any video game would have a hard time replicating is the interaction between multiple people. In combat it’s replicated well, but outside of combat you can’t yet get the experience of playing off of another person’s character.
