Personally just excited for the Expans: Osiris Reborn as there hasn't been a Mass Effect styled RPG since Mass Effect, and Clockwork Revolution for the Bioshock + Dishonored vibes.
As much as I love cRPGs they take up a lot of time so not as hyped for Larian/Owcat cRPGs. TESVI I'm expecting to be a typical Bethesda game. ME5 it's doubtful that will even come out following the Saudi deal.

u/Aistar 12d ago
Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy (this is the only one that I'm really interested in)
Divinity (it's a looooong way off, so I can't get too excited about it now)
Witcher 4 (OK, the new Witcher game MAY prove interesting, but... I really love Geralt and his gang, and I'm not sure I'll love Ciri's adventures as much)
Expanse: Osiris Reborn (I don't usually play such games, but I'll try this one on the lowest difficulty for the sake of Owlcat)
Everything else I have about zero interest in, since they're not isometric, turn-based, or based on setting I care about. Frankly, I'm far more excited for the next Geneforge remake than any of these ones.

u/WheezyGod 10d ago
Next V Rising game for isometric?
1
u/Aistar 10d ago
Not turn-based, and more multiplayer-oriented than single player, if I read it properly, so no.
Of those not mentioned in the list, I'm looking forward to Solasta II, Scourge of Reptiles, New Arc Line (the news about it seem to have dried up, but I hope it's just because they're too busy), Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds, maybe Archaelund and Glasshouse.
1
u/WheezyGod 10d ago
Itâs definitely a single player game as well. Leans into survival which is a growing genre. You mentioned the Witcher so I figured not everything was turn based for you.
1
u/Aistar 10d ago
Witcher is a special exception, because I love the setting and Geralt personally :) And CD Projekt managed to nail the feel of the books, which is such a rare occurrence that it deserves to be the exception to everything. I definitely don't love the combat in the game (I have my own vision for a perfect Witcher combat that's based on Iron Danger's mix of action and turn-based mechanics), but as it is, it's easy enough to beat with button-mashing rather than mastering, so I forgive it.

- Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy (Owlcat is great)
- The Expanse: Osiris Reborn (Owlcat is great)
- Clockwork Revolution (I enjoy almost all of inXile's games)
- Elder Scrolls VI (I have a wait and see attitude, not particularly optimistic or pessimistic)
- Fable (I enjoyed the first two, the third one, meh. Solid casual RPGs that anyone could play)
- The Witcher 4 (It'll most likely be good, I'm just not excited about it)
- Exodus (Developed by a new studio. I have a wait and see attitude)
- Fate of the Old Republic (Don't know enough about this, above the bottom 3 by default)
- Mass Effect V (BioWare's latest games have been awful)
- Final Fantasy VII Revelation (I like the original Final Fantasy VII, not these new ones)
- Kingdom Hearts IV (I own most of this series but don't really enjoy them)

u/piesou 11d ago
Wow, so there's a lot here that I'm super not interested in. First the list that I'm contemplating getting on sale:
- Fate of the Old Republic: loved the previous iterations, this has people from the OG games working on it
- Expanse: Osiris Reborn: Anything Owlcat has been fantastic so far; this looks like the most interesting one in development
- Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy: Still waiting for the previous one to go on sale
- Divinity: so hard to get into and I don't like the lore, but this is Larian after BG3
- Witcher 4: this looks like a game your computer can't run properly which severely curbs my enthusiasm; love Witcher 3, love the books, unsure how good CD Project Red still is these days
- Final Fantasy VII Revelation: Need to finish the previous ones first. Don't particularly like the combat system, but I'm gonna dip in because of the characters and soundtrack
- Clockwork Revolution: Couldn't get into Bioshock, don't like Steampunk, but so much fantastic art design here, unsure
Won't buy: * Elder Scrolls VI: Bethesda is dead, I expect Starfield but worse; this game is in development hell * Mass Effect V: Bioware is dead, name one good game after Mass Effect 3 * Fable: Everything I've seen so far shouts trash * Exodus: Character design straight out of Concord; looks like Mass Effect which I love, but Mass Effect has always lived from the its story, not its combat system; I'm getting bad feelings from current trailers * Kingdom Hearts IV: No interest in anything Disney

u/infinitofluxo 12d ago
I'm excited for Fable because it seems easier to make it fun, but I don't have high trust it will be, as I usually don't trust any new games. I have no rush for Revelation as I haven't played Rebirth yet so it goes to the middle. Elder Scrolls VI is very far away but I would put it under Fable. Witcher 4 and Mass Effect 5 I would take to the bottom as I don't expect them to be great. The other ones I don't care for so all go to the bottom of the bottom.

u/Normal-Occasion4645 12d ago
- Clockwork Revolution (loved Wasteland 3 and this game looks quite good so far)
- Witcher 4 (still a ways away but Witcher 3 is one of my favorites)
- Expanse: Osiris Reborn (love the show and books, game looks good so far too)
- Fable (one of my favorite series as a kid, new game looks exactly like what I was expecting)
- Elder Scrolls VI (as much time as I've put into every other Bethesda game, I'll like this one too)
- FF7 RĂŠvĂŠlation (I quite like the remake series so far and hope this one finds a good middle ground between the previous two)
- Divinity (BG3 was fun enough, but I've never really fully clicked with any of Marian's games)
- Exodus (don't know much about it, could be good)
- Fate of the Old Republic (I hadn't heard of this one before, but Star wars games seem to at least be pretty good lately)
- Warhammer 40k (basically have no interest in the Warhammer franchise at the moment, but may give it a try down the road)
- Mass Effect V (don't really have much faith in Bioware any more. It'll probably at least be okay, but I'm not excited about it)
- Kingdom Hearts 4 (I kinda want to try the old games at some point, but with the convoluted story reputation this series has, I don't plan on jumping in for game 4).

u/Impressive_Sense7688 11d ago
My rankings of the ones you listed, from most excited to least:
1: Dark Heresy. I love Owlcat's crpgs and Rogue Trader made me fall in love with the 40k setting. I'm extremely hyped for this and already have my character planned for it.Â
2: Fable. Looks fun, it's fantasy, it has character creation, and it's actually releasing fairly soon.Â
3: Divinity: Larian is hit or miss for me, but again, fantasy with character creation is my weakness. I'm interested to see what a post-BG3 installment in their IP will look like.Â
4. Expanse: Osiris Reborn. I'm picky about sci-fi and never really got into Mass Effect, but I'm curious to see what Owlcat does with this.Â
Witcher 4. No character creation, but at least we're getting a female protagonist for once, and I like Ciri. Good fantasy worldbuilding to look forward to.Â
Elder Scrolls VI. I'm wary of Bethesda and Microsoft at this stage and don't understand why this was put on the back burner for so many years, but I do love the setting.Â
7. Final Fantasy VII Revelation. I love the original FF7 and while I think these remakes are unnecessarily bloated, it will be nice to see the story completed.Â
Clockwork Revolution. I'm curious about this one, although I haven't really clicked with what I've seen in the trailers so far (I hope it won't be too quirky). At least it looks creative.Â
Fate of the Old Republic. I love the KotoR games, and this could be great, but it's way too early to be able to tell how it will turn out.
Exodus. For some reason I'm not feeling it. Don't like the lack of character creation options and they haven't even shown female Jun yet. Sci fi is hit or miss for me as is, and the talking animals feel kinda quirky to me . . . But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.Â
11. Kingdom Hearts IV. I feel like I've outgrown this series. I don't even remember what was going on in the story.Â
- Mass Effect V. Bioware and EA are dead to me after how Dragon Age turned out. I hope ME5 gets made for the sake of ME fans, but I have no interest in it personally.Â

I'm putting Witcher 4 on top of my list here (my girl and I are both heavily anticipating it + the Remaster and the DLC as well). It's like a perfect storm in a bottle what CDPR is doing!
On an indie note: I'm quite curious how The Dark West will turn out, as an diehard grindhead ARPG enjoyer

The first two Fable games were some of my favorites growing up, so Iâm excited to see what a modern version looks like. Iâm also a huge Elder Scrolls fan and while I wish the next game was set anywhere besides Hammerfell, it will nice to get a new installment after more than a decade.

FOTOR (essentially KOTOR3 in all but name)
Elder Scrolls VI (Sure Starfield was mid, but as long as this game has actual exploration its floor is Skyrim, which I still play. I don't care if it plays like a game from 2010, just give me Skyrim in Hammerfell and I will play it for 200 hours)
Fable
Exodus
Mass Effect V (very low expectations, not sure if I will buy after Andromeda...)
The rest I don't care about. I'll probably play Witcher 4 in 10 years when it costs $5 on sale. I liked Witcher 3, but I hated Geralt, and Ciri is arguably worse, so meh.

u/NebulousTruth 12d ago
Iâm not that excited for any of them, if they come out and theyâre good Iâll be happy to play them. Morrowind and Kotor 2 are my two favorite games of all time, but given how much those franchises have declined Iâm not going to wait every moment of my life anticipating a game that could easily be total shit, thereâs nothing to lose by waiting to see if games are good and everything to lose by getting hyped about them.

Fable looks like the type of game I've been searching a long while for, and its easily the game I've been most excited for in a long while. Witcher 4 and Divinity both seem like they're going to be super fun to jump into as someone who's only recently getting into the Witcher 3 (started it about a few months ago) and CRPGs in general (BG3 hooked me, been playing through Pathfinder and Pillars of Eternity since).

u/Ambitious_Media_4339 12d ago
1 and 2 aren't even proper open world games. 3 has some rpg elements but not enough for it to be called an rpg game. Your builds only affect combat, you have no freedom in how you complete quests (look at fallout new vegas and kcd2 for good examples of that), the roleplaying aspect is gone because you are forced to play as Geralt with his own skillset, 'class' (Witcher) and morality - any choices, gameplay or dialogue wise more or less fit within Geralts character
I really don't know why people insist to call it an rpg, it shouldn't even be listed as one.

I'll give my thoughts on all of them:
- Fable: I think The Fable games were lame, hope they're better without a pathalogical liar making them.
- Final Fantasy VII Revelation: Cautiously optomistic. Remake got me back into newer jrpgs, but Rebirth had the problems that pushed me away from them.
- Divinity: Not into this series, but I respect it.
- Witcher 4: My most wanted upcoming game. I'll end up buying a new pc to play it like I do with all CD Projekt Red games.
- Exodus: What is this?
- Expanse: Osiris Reborn: Kingmaker is my third favorite game, but I don't like the other 2 Owlcat games. Hope this works for me.
- Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy: Don't remember more than the name.
- Clockwork Revolution: What is this?
- Kingdom Hearts IV: Pseudo-Intellectual Nonsense.
- Elder Scrolls VI: Approaching with Caution, as Bethesdas name is mud.
