A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

One and a half really good games in there
As someone who's never played, which ones the good one?
I'll be a contrarian and throw in my vote for the second game - it's rushed and flawed and the asset reuse is blatant to the point of being legendary, but the setting and story are the best and most original of these 3 games. Just being a hero of one single city instead of the entire world is surprisingly refreshing.
In general I'd say that 1 has the best combat/tone, 2 has the best setting/story, 3 has the best characters. I've heard that 3 can be quite enjoyable if you pretty much only do the main story and companion quests - but I wouldn't know, I'm one of the poor fools who got stuck in the Hinterlands, and that mistake + the very underwhelming main story sapped my will to continue playing.
