By skyforbes I’ve read and heard several arguments for and against each game and I get the crux of the argument. I would say E33 is the better RPG but KCD2 is the better role playing experience.
Arguing that E33 isn’t a true RPG because you aren’t playing a direct role makes sense but it’s all semantics.
KCD2 offers a lovely tabletop experience in video game form while E33 is a turned based RPG similar to final fantasy. It sucks they are in the same genre but there isn’t a clear cut way to really split the genre for it to make sense.
