What was your first RPG?

Dr muto? Now theres a hidden gem.

 

off to a bad start I see

 

Well you gotta start somewhere. Not really a bad start though.

 

Just joking around. Did you proceed with Fallout 1 & 2 after that?

Does Diablo count as a RPG? Well in that case that was my first. The first real RPG must have been Arcanum. After that I got taste for more and Fallout and Baldur's Gate soon followed, along with their sequels.

 

Maybe if you dont know any better. If you had never played an rpg I'm sure fallout 3 was mindblowing at the time. But even within the Arpg Subgenre it doesnt exactly hold up to a lot of other games.

Also not my first rpg but I want to take this opportunity to give Yakuza 7 my complete seal of approval as the first JRPG to properly kindle a love for its genre in me. Ive had an outsider's appreciation for JRPGS for a while now and I've had tons of JRPGs and most of em kind of leave me feeling meh with the combat and I don't finish em. Yakuza 7, being a part of a series I love, made me stick with it until I fully understood and appreciated a JRPG combat system. I'll probably go through and play some others I've had for a while now.

 

Calling Fallout 3 an RPG is, I think an insult to RPGs.

Edit*

And an affront to shooters because it is doing neither of them justice.

 

My first RPG was the original Dragon Warrior game on the NES, and my first JRPG. Getting two birds stoned at once.
