The discussion highlights the nostalgia for classic CRPGs like Fallout 2 and Baldur's Gate, emphasizing a player's preference for turn-based gameplay over real-time mechanics. There's a critique of the current trend in CRPGs, particularly the Bethesda model, which involves content scaling and forces players to engage in less enjoyable leveling strategies. The commenter reflects on a personal connection to earlier CRPGs and expresses a lack of enjoyment for the aesthetics of modern games like Fallout, while also praising the immersive experience of Nintendo's 'Zelda: Breath of the Wild'. Overall, there is a clear desire for a return to variety in CRPGs and a lamentation over the current market.
