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 didn't play most games on PC at the time, was too young to own a good pc. First good PC game was Morrowind way after the game got released(think all the expansions were out too at the time). I playedmmore N64 and PS1 growing up, Bajoo Kazooie, Mario 64, FF9, Tomb Raider etc.
That's why I am trying to school up on the older ones on PC in the not too distant future. I did play some classics already but not nearly enough. I was there for Mass Effect and Kotor though.
Ah okay, so you were coming up during the time as gaming was going through its cultural shift in the aughts. Makes sense.
The only thing I've found, is that trying to go back and play older PC games now is a bit of a chore because a lot of the PC games just don't hold up. Games that were groundbreaking at the time, like King's Quest VIII, Redline or The Devil Inside, are extremely dated.
There may still be some fun to be had with them but they were more like foundational games for what was to come; learning lessons, some might say. When that was all you had they were super cool, but these days it's tough to appreciate what they were trying to do at the time because of how clunky they feel and how crusty the graphics are, if that makes sense.
