So, you're intrigued by role-playing video games (RPGs)? Fantastic! Prepare for epic quests, compelling stories, and the chance to become someone (or something!) entirely new. But where do you start?
RPGs are all about choice and consequence. You create a character, often customizing their appearance, skills, and backstory. You then navigate a virtual world, completing quests, battling enemies, and making decisions that impact the story and your character's development.
Consider what kind of experience you're looking for. Do you want a sprawling open world like Skyrim or Elden Ring? Or a more story-driven experience like The Witcher 3 or Disco Elysium? Do you prefer turn-based combat like in Persona 5 Royal or real-time action like in Diablo IV?
Don't be afraid to experiment! Try different classes, races, and playstyles. Most importantly, have fun exploring the vast and rewarding world of RPGs. You might just discover your new favorite hobby and a whole community of like-minded adventurers.
