Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 has revived in me a desire to revisit the classics. While I’ve only just arrived at the titular city itself in Larian’s triumphant modern classic‚ my duty to my partner—with whom I’m playing a co-op campaign—has meant that in the downtime between sessions I’ve been looking for a deep RPG experience that I can enjoy in solitude‚ and play at my own pace. And no RPGs lend themselves as well to a slow-paced solitary experience than cRPGs either built on or inspired by the Infinity Engine—so the likes of Baldur’s Gate 2‚ Tyranny‚ Pillars of Eternity‚ and so on.
