I straight up deleted Dragon Age 3 off my Steam account. Just awful. Irredeemably awful. Yes, I did get out of the Hinterlands, only to find more Hinterlands.

Having played Haven in co-op with a lesbian pairing, I think some of the criticisms of its story from a high concept perspective are a bit overblown.

The core premise of Dragon Age 2 taking place in a single city over a decade is a good one, shame about the actual game.

I also liked the premise of you starting out as a refugee fleeing from the war and how that would affect the story, but after the tutorial timeskip it turns out that actually you are reclaiming your ancestral home and have recruited the chief of police, the single source of mass media, a foreign prince etc. to your party. It turned into a very different story than implied by the start.

Maybe misremembering that. Something about cows stopping their milk production some time after giving birth)! Also learn seed blending or you will die penniless. Wonderful Life is a weird game.

Zip through the cutscenes, stay for the gameplay. The level of freedom you get in the second act onwards is the tits.

There's some generational strategy game series as well but extremely tedious, I think it's Agarest?

agarest war is actually pretty short but there's an early game tutorial map where you have to kill a rock and it takes like 20 minutes for some reason

Agarest is about as 'wasted potential' as you get with a IF label on the box

They are the exact same dungeon layout but some doors are arbitrarily opened or closes so you stumble confused through familiar places. Its the worst of all worlds.

Chrono Cross is as big and as long as every other PSX rpg, but it feels tiny given that it takes place in an archipelago where every location is in spitting distance with no random encounters between them. You don't even hop into an airship that lets you fly over your donut-planet.

rune factory a bit? there's no real time crunch for the most part but since its a farming sim too you have to do things like manage your crops and juggle farming with dungeon crawling.

Turns out, these are my jam The only thing popping in mind no one else will recommend is Dragon Star Varnir but its terrible so not that unless you are completely out of other things to play. If just "time limited decision making gameplay" and some RPG elements is what matters then Citizen Sleeper and Roadwarden are the two best on the market I can think of at the moment.
