Top cRPG to be a cRPG veteran?

[Butter]

You can be a cRPG veteran of different eras. Playing Deathlord has nothing to do with playing BG3 and both are worth playing.
And as someone said above, you’re a veteran when you don’t give a shit what others think. Suprisingly maybe, I finished Deathlord (well I made Deathlord Relorded so I had to…) but haven’t reached Act II in BG3 yet. It’s just painful to me.

One highly underrated Wiz/BT style game is Dark Heart of Uukrul. Play the Apple 2 version, not the VGA one. That one is also for veteran players but pretty incredible.

Are there version differences? I played the DOS version because that's what GOG sells. One of the greatest gaming experiences I've ever had btw, hence the avatar.

Purely cosmetic I think. But I find the Apple version with its restricted color scheme is much better art-wise. The Apple version is totally free. Get the .woz on Internet Archive and fire up Applewin or whatever emulator of choice.

Here you go OP

To name a few:

Ultima V
Champions of Krynn (replace for any other goldbox game like Pool of Radiance)
Eye of the beholder
Dark Heart of Uukrul
Might and Magic II
Planescape Torment
Nethack

But like other poster said, having played Uukrul fast passes you to veteran status
