    All these people that have been thrust upon me and I still don't know
    who they are. Meat pie. My ex-girlfriend used to get into Skyrim with
    me and there it's a million generic people and a Jarl so far as I can
    tell. I'm going to put a few hours into Elder Scrolls V.

    One of the reasons I don't buy modern RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 and
    Witcher 3 is because I think the game is going to place too much
    emphasis on bullshit fluff that I don't care about like cutscenes and characters endlessly talking to each other. I am not sure if that is
    true or not in these games but your post is not giving me any
    confidence.

    I'm not sure how I would react to tabletop gaming, I never did it.

    As for modern games, I think some of these developers would rather be
    making movies then games. <shrug>

    Good call. I like Wing Commander but 'Chris Roberts disease' works for
    me.
