RPG games are the easiest genre of games. Just put them on “normal” difficulty to start with instead of “stupid hard”

>>3975968
You can choose anything from tactical to third person shooter RPGs, from fantasy to scifi. What strikes your fancy?

Get dominated like a pipeworker you are.

>>3975968
Lands of Lore, or some SNES era JRPGs like, say, FFVI, Terranigma or Tales of Phantasia.

>>3975978
this

Wasteland 3
Baldurs gay 3
Dragon age origins
New vegas
Vampire the masquerade bloodlines
Mass effect
Deus ex hr/md

The most beginner friendly RPG I can think of that's entertaining, while not being complicated, is Chrono Trigger.

>RPG games are the easiest genre of game
tourist here. i bounced off every single dnd-based game i ever tried. unironically i couldn't make it past the opening dungeon/beyond an hour past it in these games:
>nwn 1
>nwn 2
>MOTB
>ToEE
>bg1
>bg2
you open the game and there's like 6 races, 30 classes, 30 different skills per class, and also attributes like strength and agility and you're supposed to know what the best skills and attributes are for your race and class or else your character will miss 90% of attacks and do 5 damage on the attacks they land.
seems like these games give you 10 000 options and 9 000 are noob traps.

nah, rpgs don't necessarily need to be easy. as a shitter i'd tell op to try

This game isn't even hard. All you have to do is not waste points; stick to an archetype and the game is easy

>>3976958
Most of those games you listed first also have pre-made characters that you can then start with (just change the portrait and name to something you want) and off you go

The best JRPG of all time is also extremely beginner friendly.

All of the games you listed were from the era when games had a comprehensive manual that explained how things worked and offered suggestions and guidance. I, and my friends, played BG as children and figured it out, it’s not that complicated. The only one on your list I wouldn’t recommend to a new player is MotB since it’s a high level expansion pack meant for experienced players (same with BG2, you need BG1 under your belt first) but otherwise I don’t think any of those are that complicated. ToEE can be fairly obtuse I suppose, maybe that ones not a good first pick.

Start doing nyt connections and wordle daily.
No more than 3 minutes until you guess something.
>seems like these games give you 10 000 options and 9 000 are noob traps.
You're bad at dealing with unknowns and just need to brute force and train yourself to get over it.
Or you're retarded, but I think it's more likely that you're trainable.

>>3977006
>brute force and train
Not having that as a distraction might be the point of "beginner" roleplaying games.

>>3976958
>you open the game and there's like 6 races, 30 classes, 30 different skills per class, and also attributes like strength and agility
Those games are meant for literate young adults. You should try games that are designed for children like you. Try starting out with Tic-Tac-Toe and Hopscotch.

>>3976960
When the game first released a lot of people's build could not survive Depot A or Tchort was too hard for some builds like crossbow. That is how it got the reputation of hard. Better knowledge of the game and patches changed since then where it's not the same level of difficulty. Still to this day, the game is unforgiving and even if you know what you're doing, most builds can easily die to some piper with a sledgehammer right around the corner.

>>3975968
I got into cRPGs with the introduction of Divinity Original Sin. I think those games are very beginner friendly; they have no complicated pathfinder or DnD rules.

goddamn you niggas are miserable faggots lmao. i can still remember feeling overwhelmed by my first time playing these dnd RPGs when i was younger and its retarded to pretend otherwise. my advice to >>3976958
would be to start out with a simple fighter class to get a feel for the game, just focus on STR CON and some DEX and whatever weapon type seems cool

May I suggest SMT V: Vengeance? It's on PC, Switch, Playstation, etc.

As far as RPGs go, it's a good beginner game because you can run past enemies in the overworld, you can save anywhere, there's monster collecting, and the visuals, soundtrack, and combat are all fantastic.

The character customization gets complex later on, but the game eases you in slowly so you can learn the mechanics before the difficulty goes up.

>RPG games are the easiest genre of games
Well, they are now that they've been dumbed down to shit.

>>3975968
No of them are beginner friendly. RPG games are the hardest genre to play. Just stick to kid's games like checkers or tic-tac-toe.

Another children's game I think would be perfect for you is a game called "Bop It". It's really easy because it literally tells you what to do.

Skyrim: Special Edition

What kind of beginner friendly are you looking? CRPGs? JRPG? ARPGs? Sword and sorcery? Sci Fi?

>>3975978
>before you can start playing you have to generate attributes, skills and other statistics for your character without knowing what any of them mean and how they affect the game
Yeah, RPGs are a piece of cake for beginners.

>>3975968
The Witcher 3 is not even an RPG; it's an action-adventure game.

>>3980352
>>before you can start playing you have to generate attributes, skills and other statistics for your character without knowing what any of them mean and how they affect the game
RTFM (Please Read The Manual)
>inb4 no
Not my problem. Virtually every RPG, on “normal” difficulty, is beatable by literate children of average intelligence.

>>3975968
Real-time CRPG:
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout 3
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Mass Effect Trilogy
Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon
Other than Tainted Grail these games get trashed on this board regularly. Other than Tainted Grail these games go on sale all the time, so you can make your own decision rather than listening to a bunch of miserable faggots.
Turn-based
Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (lots of options, but very easy on lower difficulties).
Most Japanese-style RPGS (e.g. Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger). These are usually more story-based and less reliant on challenging combat, but (as some screeching autist will no doubt inform you) that doesn't apply to every-single game.

Probably avoid:
Witcher 1. It has a really weird combat system that a few people really like. Personally it grinds my gears.
Real-time with pause games (old Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Dragon Age: Origins). I'm biased because I don't like this style of combat, but I don't think this would be a good kind of game to "ease into" the RPG genre.
This is 4chan, where everyone and everything sucks, so take what I say and what others say with a pillar of salt.

>>3975968
>>3976546
>Baldurs gay 3
Not beginner friendly if you're not familiar with DnD ruleset or cRPGs. There is a significant learning curve. I had to youtube DnD rules to understand wtf is going on.
>Dragon age origins
Yes
>New vegas
Yes. Any modern Bethesda game. Skyrim is my pick.
>Mass effect
Yes. Also KOTOR

Normally I’d think this was hyperbole, but my elderly dad recently asked for help with the keyboard shortcuts for the Oblivion remaster, and I was going to print him out the key binds à la an old school keyboard command fold-out guide. The Oblivion remaster literally does not have a manual.
