Since I deleted Starfield (maybe I’ll redownload it one day) from Steam I’m thinking of getting Baldurs Gate 3. I hear it can be fun if you ignore the gay stuff. Are 1 and 2 worth it? Also gonna look for some older RPGs on Steam or hack and slash

I disagree with you about BG1, though to anyone who is interested in trying out BG1 I strongly recommend reading a bit of a guide on how to play it. Specifically on how to properly create your character, as its quite easy to really screw yourself over in a very permanent fashion without realizing it.
I've played BG1 several times, including recently as I wanted to compare BG1 to BG3. BG3 basically tried to copy the plot from BG1, create a threat to Baldursgate that they/him can solve in order to rule the city. They even brought back the doppelgangers. Except BG1 did it better, it actually made sense. The end goal was godhood not ruling a city. In BG3 the bad guys had a crown with the power of a god and gave that to an elder brain, one of the most intelligent beings in the world, in order to attack Baldursgate and them to stop it. That is moronic. BG1 story is considerably better then BG3, however the almost empty location maps are kind of boring and is the reason that most people will not get in to BG1 without nostalgia.
