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.

instead of an actual rpg they went with an mmo and an rts for eberron ... idk why

Faerun is garbage. Aggressively bad even for a medieval fantasy settings. No game set in Faerun can be good.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

literally the best crpg games have been set in faerun

[–] Galle_@lemmy.world -5 points 2 days ago

No they haven't. Because they're set in Faerun.

[–] Galle_@lemmy.world -4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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