my favorite classic roguelike is tales of maj’eyal with a(n ancient) dual classing mod installed. my favorite final fantasy is XII the zodiac age. my favorite borderlands is wonderlands (still kinda mid though). i loved baldur’s gate 3 and the owlcat pathfinder games. my peak arpg is path of exile with titan quest 2 earning an honorable mention.
what are your favorite rpgs and rpg adjacent games that include in depth, flexible class systems?
Guild wars 1. Its a skillbar mmorpg, 1 time purchase for $10. Its back in active development by a small team.
You get a primary profession like warrior and a secondary one like ranger, monk that can be swapped at any outpost. This allows you to get access to a much wider array of skils to build for the situation.
Each profession has a primary stat so you dont have warrior/monks out healing monks because they dont have the devine favour stat.
But there is still a ton of build diversity and role diversity.
I’m playing a Paragon/warrior so I run a lot of DPS support shouts from the paragon class and weapon focused skills from the warrior class as well.
