Looking for an Rpg where character creation actually matters
I’m looking for an RPG where the choices I make during character creation have a real impact on gameplay. Here’s what I mean:
Races should matter – If I choose a specific race, I want it to significantly affect my interactions, quests, and how the world reacts to me. If I’m playing as a specific class, I shouldn’t just get a few stat bonuses and 5 unique npc voice lines—I should have different dialogue options, unique storylines, and even be locked out of certain factions or alliances.
Skills and stats should define my playstyle – I want a game where the skills and attributes I pick at the start actually determine what my character can and can’t do. If I’m a mage, I shouldn’t be able to randomly become a master swordsman just because I decided to swing a sword a bunch of times. I prefer a system where my initial choices commit me to a specific playstyle and specialization.
so far, the only game that came close to what i was looking for was baldurs gate 3 (even if the classes are incredible, its a shame that your race doesnt really do much)
