What WRPG series have the longevity of popular JRPG series?

[Neuromancer]

I mean like the Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Legend of Heroes type longevity?

I guess Bauldr's Gate kinda has it but what other series have that kind of longevity?

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Elder Scrolls and Fallout both came out in ‘94/‘97

 

[Batsute]

Dungeons & Dragons

Warhammer

Baldur's gate pretty much made wrpgs hot and its came out in 98. Its last true sequel came out in 01 and has been cooking on nothing but expansions for 20 years...until BG3 dropped. BG2 game came out before I had the ability to form a proper erection. Now I'm almost too to keep a proper erection.

Time is a flat circle.

wasteland - 1988, wasteland 3 - 2020

There would be no fallout without wasteland

there's more dead *great* wrpg titles than forgotten JRPGs sadly

planescape doesn't even get brought up anymore

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Skyrim

That's it...that's the post

Infinite mods and quests, a series with legs to walk on, and a MMO that's popular.

You could eat for years in a bunker with Elder GOATscrolls games

Obviously Elder Scrolls

Before you could form a proper erection? That shyt came out in 2001. I was getting an erection every time a big booty girl in my HS squatted to pick up a pencil. how old are you breh?

 

[Neuromancer]

planescape

This shyt was all people could talk about when it came out. I'm not sure how it didn't get a slew of sequel's.

We’re talking about erections now and how proper they are?

I wonder if it's because there are no real main characters in WRPG's all create-a-charater and no real memorable ones.

The Witcher might have had the right idea.

its probably more that that generation of WRPGs was PC only for the most part - and console popularity didn't carry the genre with it for about 2 generations give or take.

there's a big gap between the height of early WRPG popularity and fallout 3/elder scrolls/dragon age/star wars old republic taking off on consoles. and the watering down of crossover titles led to shyt like Deus Ex flaming out too
