To be fair to modern rpg games kingmaker was excellent outside of the kingdom management mechanics. And I only heard good thing about wrath of righteous again the 2ndary mechanics were lacking.

But i think it is also age. I bought the system shock remake and felt this guilt that I should be doing something else when I played it. Something I didnt even conceive of when dropping 60 hours a week into deus ex or diablo 2 or WoW 20 years ago.
