Interesting that the original Witcher got voted higher than Witcher 3 in the poll.

Neverwinter Nights 2 rated way higher than NWN1, as well ...

And, Morrowind and Daggerfall the only Elder Scrolls games to make the top 70. That's going to cause some arguments! :-P

Wizardry 8 is higher than 7.
Diablos and Icewind Dales are higher than NieR:Automata.
Ultima 4 is at the rock bottom.
...
to say nothing abt Fallout being higher than Planescape: Torment...
...
yeah, a great top. yeah.

Not a Divinity game in the first 70???
And Divine Divinity is NOT a "hidden" gem. All Divinity games are more known than some of the top 70...
I always wanted to try Temple of Elemental Evil, but I dare not even to buy it. From some videos I've seen, it seems too complicated for me. I don't know if such is the case though.

this, too. have my +1.

I don't know. I've heard of all the top 70 games. I never heard of Divine Divinity until I stumbled upon it here on sale.

It does say "it's got something to piss off everybody" :)
And there was voting, so that's what the tally was I guess.

Now let's see...

From the top 70, finished 13, played 7 others (not counting one that I just started and then put away for a time when I'll have a better computer, another that I gave up on after mere minutes and a demo of another that I started and also gave up on quickly) (and of the 7, only consider 3 as actually abandoned, hoping to return to at least 2 someday, uncertain of the other 2), own 14 more (but 2 were freebies that I have no interest in and 2 more I doubt I'll play), and have 5 more wishlisted.
From the hidden gems, finished 1, 1 more wishlisted.

Incidentally, one of the freebies that I have no interest in is that #1, Fallout. Tried to play 2, couldn't stand it, eventually gave up, definitely had no interest in its earlier iteration that also adds a timer to the main quest from what I understood.

Interesting to see Arx Fatalis in the top instead of the gems. Rather odd to see Divine Divinity in the gems instead of the top.

PS: Shouldn't this have been its own topic though?

Haha! That's the reason why I don't play Daggerfall, although I would sure want to try the GOG Cut! I've read that many quest are on timer in there.

Only fitting to put it here considering that the cRPG Book is essentially an expanded version of the 2014 edition of the RPG Codex Top 70 PC RPGs.
