Kind of a weird one. But Should I play Crimson Desert or Dragon Quest XI?
I am torn between these two games as my next RPG. I like turn based games with an interesting lore or story. I love flashy combat that has me start as normal and I work to do some cool looking stuff.
I am looking for the game that is best played with chunks of time with no volume on. And a game that allows me to grind and do it with style. I want to feel rewarded for my time and effort. I also would like an interesting story with some good lore. How is DQ's combat and story once you get in the second half (I know most of these games take a bit for combat to feel and look cool). Is Crimson Desert really a weird and nonsensical story or is there some cool lore? How is the combat in Crimson Desert? Can I be a magical swordsmen?
I know it's weird that these are the two games I am torn between, but I have both, and I feel like playing a game that I can grind at times while watching tv in the evenings. I plan to pay attention to the story beats when I have time, but there is a chunk of time where the wife and I are just chilling watching tv.
