Any hidden gems in terms of western-ish cRPGs?
| So, any suggestions?
| Just thought that I should specify it, but I would prefer something recent-ish, at least after 2010, because I've played a lot of the older stuff AND I kinda want at least something in terms of eye-candy. Not necessarily a lot of it, but at least something.
| G/u/rl, play Shadowrun. Start with Shadowrun Returns, then do Shadowrun Dragonfall and Shadowrun Hong Kong if you like it.
| I've only started playing Tales of Maj'Eyal which has no eyecandy that you wanted but it's a good game imo, at least for someone (me) who just started getting into the genre.
| Then again I'm new to the genre and haven't played any of the games mentioned. I feel like it's gonna disappoint you since you mentioned 'dated' games. Al teast interaction is fluid and modern enough for me.

Oh yeaaah, kinda forgot about the Shadowrun games because I was only thinking of fantasy settings. Yeah, already played them, those are great.

Well, ToME is positioned more like a roguelike and it kinda shows. At least it's not 'dated' in terms of gameplay and that's good enough for me. But, not quite what I'm looking for.
| Is there really nothing else though?
| Pretty sure you just leave out Divinity Original Sin by mistake, but just in case...
| Overlord?

Yeah, kinda forgot about it, too. But seeing as it's even more taxing on the PC than PoE or Tyranny, I won't be playing these games in the nearest future either. Getting pretty much single-digit FPS there.

Great game, but not necessarily what I'm looking for, for a multitude of reasons.
TBH I'm kinda starting to think I should just go download DA:O again.

Nvm, getting around 15-20 fps in the beginning area, which still sucks though.
I hope Neverwinter Nights enhanced will work fine when it releases.

| I really like stuff like Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny and Torment: Tides of Numenera. Can't run either of those on my laptop now, though, so I've been looking for something similarly good. Of course, there are enhanced editions of Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment, but despite being 'enhanced' they still are kinda dated and I've had enough of the originals.
There's also stuff by Spiderweb Software like Avernum and Avadon, but it seems pretty low-quality.
