What vidya is the most like a TT campaign?

Icewind Dale series, and in general, anything where you create a full party from the start.

>>96212338
Wrong, it needs to have a predetermined party besides the MC, to simulate your friends playing their own characters instead of you making them up

I dunno, ask /v/.

>>96212317 (OP)
Darklands and Realms of Arkania, I would bet.

Point and click adventures accurately simulate TTRPGs with shitty railroading GMs that demand a specific nonsensical solution to every situation, and will sit there making snarky comments until you correctly guess it.

Obvious answer but someone's gotta mention it

Icewind Dale is what made me drop tabletop gaming and move entirely onto PC gaming. It came out when I was in my early teens and made my friend group realise it was more fun for us all to just go round one friend's house and use his dad's PC to play it and take turns than it was to have a DM.

>>96212428
it's weird revisiting this series in adulthood and realizing it's literally just a well-dressed dungeon crawler

>>96213327
A grossly inaccurate one at that

If I check /v/ and there isn't a "What ttrpg is most like a vidya?" thread, you're in big trouble young man.

owlcat's pathfinder crpgs and rogue trader are very rules-faithful adaptions to their respective games

>>96214351
They really are, and they're not afraid to go places with the games. Rogue Trader actually showed how people live in the Imperium, Christ you even get to interact with normal people fairly regularly instead of just roided out spess mehrens and spess cultists which made 40k actually feel like a place where people lived.

No, that's not a shitpost, it perfectly encapsulates mainstream RPGs at the moment:
>the party is special because . . . THEY JUST ARE OKAY?!?
>world full of reactive NPCs that will do nothing until the next stage of the quest is reached
>the essential NPCs have unavoidable escapes so they can advance the plot
>the most fun had is when players leave the railroad to do dumb shit
>the finale of the campaign is something that sounds EPIC but in reality was boring

>>96212317 (OP)
Hey! I'm impressed that your pic actually has the single greatest cRPG ever made.

Unlimited Saga, SaGa has always used a degree of tabletop influence but Unlimited is the most blatant.

Temple of Elemental Evil

Space Marines have always and will always be the least interesting aspect of the setting and GW should just have kept them as roided up psychopaths who everyone fears rather than turn them into the centrepiece of the brand.

Disco Elysium captures social nonsense and banter and nonsense conversations you have with the DMs npcs and other based retard PCs pretty damn well and doing random dice rolling for this or that check at appropriate or inappropriate times.
Basically it just reminded me of any of the social roleplaying in most rpgs.

Darkest Dungeon if you mean realgames and not theater club shit

>>96215344
I actually like BGIII as a videogame, but as an emulation of a tabletop campaign it falls very flat.

So by real games you mean absolute shit?

>He thinks "Mother may I?" games are any better

oh lawd

>>96225812
Darkest dungeon is not a game, faggot.

>>96212338
>anything where you create a full party from the start
This. I can't take vidya RPG's seriously otherwise

>>96213327
>>96214023
>the story is retarded
>every character is gay
>the setting is a renaissance larp in a san francisco starbucks parking lot
That's pretty accurate to what modern DND is desu.

>>96212317 (OP)
I imagine most CRPGs aka computer role playing games aka literally RPGs in video game form

There is an entire board where you can talk about them

>>96243951
Real people don't play NuD&D.

>>96244439
Real people don't say "Nu(whatever)"

Good numbers wasted on an absolute lie.

>>96225874
Alright anon I forgive your borderline dogshit opinion for now but you're on thin fucking ice

>>96243951
Meanwhile over in reality this shit won goty while you don't play games

>>96244553
As I keep saying, popularity is not a sight of quality but it is of relevance and relevance is all that really matters.

>>96213327
i tried so hard to like this game but every NPC is so goddamn faggy and annoying and the setting feels like fantasy san francisco, i really wish i understood what everyone else sees in this slop but i just don't fucking get it. maybe it's a personal skill issue idk.

>>96212317 (OP)
Honestly, TF2 is the most like a genuine TT experience.

>>96237737
yes it is

>>96244963
No, idiot.
Games are discussed at /g/ames. This is no/tg/ames. Since it is based on a ttrpng it can't be a game by definition. Usually I'd ignore the semantics, but well, I didn't start to be anal about it.

This game actually feels like a table top role playing game in the form of a computer game. Not just that, but they feel like TTRPGs more than some CRPGs based off rulesets.

It makes we wish we could actually get a AAA sandbox CRPG instead of all these theme park CRPGs.
