The GWJ CRPG Club - Part 1 - Old Thread

Gosh, I'm only a level 2 member, and I so love RPGs. I need to get some levels.

I feel like I'm about due for more Skyrim. Or Legend of Grimrock. I played KOTOR earlier this year, I'm not up for a replay of that just yet, but I had a blast playing it.

I've been contemplating a new play through of Mass Effect, so, I'll nominate that game.

An excuse to finally go back and tackle the Skyrim DLC would definitely be welcome.

12 hours to go, last call for nominations and secondings.

Whoopsie! I copied the wrong one over from the previous page, my bad.

Here we go...

I'll extend this out for another 3 hours before closing it out. Last last call!

I don't see torchlight nominated, did I miss that one? I just searched the previous three pages to check, and it's not showing up for me.

In that case I nominate Torchlight.

I'll second Torchlight.

It's time for the next round! I'll second Mass Effect to get it to the final party.

Pick 6 Voting Round
Let's begin our next round. 11 candidates enter the Pick 6 Round, looking to be one of the 5-7 games to make it to ranked choice voting. Lots of newcomers in the group this time, with an intriguing classic heavyweight making a first-time appearance.

In this voting round, pick up to 6 candidates that you'd like to play. This is an unranked round, so just list them in any order.

This round will run until 11:59pm GMT on Wednesday, December 22. At that point, the top five to seven vote getters will be carried over to our ranked voting round. (If two games are tied for 6th place, we'll carry both games to the final round. If more than 2 games are tied for 6th place, we'll drop them and carry 5 games to the final round.)

A quick note...
With the Steam sale just around the corner, these prices will change, and many of the games are already on sale on other sites.

Darkest Dungeon ($24.99, 78 hours)
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ($29.99, 30 hours)

Pick 6 Voting Update

Mankind Divided and Skyrim edge a big pack of games getting at least 4 votes, but every game gets at least two votes in early voting. With just 2 votes separating the bottom of the pack from qualification, this seems to have the potential to go a lot of different directions.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided - 7
Skyrim - 7
Kingdom Come: Deliverance - 6
Knights of the Old Republic - 6
Darkest Dungeon - 4
Wasteland 3 - 4

After being gone all weekend, it was fun to come back and see so many "Hmm. Skyrim . . . ." posts in this thread. I'd thrown that out as a bit of a nothingburger, but now I'm kind of excited about it.

A lot of good choices this month! Here are my votes:

Darkest Dungeon
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Legend of Grimrock
Skyrim
Sunless Skies
Wasteland 3

Tough to leave Mass Effect out, but I just played Legendary over the summer. Not sure I'm ready to reload for my fourth run at it yet. (Even though I probably would.)

Pick 6 Voting Update

Mankind Divided pulls out in front. At the back end, Sunless Skies slips into the top six, as it replaces a struggling Darkest Dungeon. Things are very tight at the cusp of qualification, just a vote here or there and things shift about quite a bit.

Skyrim - 10
Kingdom Come: Deliverance - 9
Knights of the Old Republic - 7
Sunless Skies - 7
