I wrote:These days I don’t recommend anyone bother playing isometric CRPGs in co-op because it’s a giant waste of time when you could be playing real D&D via VTTs instead, and I especially don’t recommend you play adaptations of TTRPG material like the Pathfinder games when you could be playing their VTT versions instead. However, for those who have definitively decided they will never play real D&D, the above option is the best for you and totally worth the effort. It’s the closest you can get to D&D.
For people playing in my Battlegrounds I recommend playing isometric WRPGs on your own at times when we just can’t schedule real D&D for some reason (like the past few months for example). However, when it comes to official adaptations like the Pathfinder games, I recommend not playing those at all until they’ve been unlocked in Battlegrounds and some group has finished them. That still leaves a lot of material for you to play right now if you want. I should make a list of it. The Original Sin games come easily to mind, as does the entire Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale series, and also Torment, and many others.
Off the top of my head, the adapted official adventures you should stay away from until it is unlocked and played in Battlegrounds are as follows:
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
Pathfinder: Kingmaker
The Temple of Elemental Evil
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Pool of Radiance
Unfortunately, these also tend to be the best lol. The rest have terrible plots, with Torment being the exception because it was written by TTRPG folk, not programmers.
