Has it aged well?

Its sorta pixel art like all games from this era. It is what it is. It isnt beautiful and it isnt ugly. Its functional.

I dont like giving opinions on subjective stuff like that. Its in the eye of the beholder. Only you can answer hat.

I think I'll get it, have you any other suggestions for other CRPGs to check out for someone who hasn't played much or any in the genre?

Depends - you like combat or story elements?

Combat heavy - Baldurs Gate 1 n 2

Combat medium - NeverWinter Nights 1 or 2

Other options are the Icewind Dale series.

More modern Chronicon, Grim Dawn, Children of Morta

I like story but i also like combat so maybe a mix of both, but i think i would prefer story overall or at least a bunch of choices to make with the story in the game

ez deadbrain combat (for CRPG) and great story
if you looking ADVENTURE GAMES WITHOUT COMBAT AND NON RPG and NON D&D
I strongly recommend you:

If you want to get into CRPG then I would recommend this game, baldurs gate 1 & 2 (especially 2, it's amazing), and possibly Icewind dale as the more "classic games". Neverwinter nights is also a really good game but its a bit different that other CRPG and might be a bit hard getting into now.

For more modern games there are the Dragon age games (origins and Inquisition are amazing imo, 2 is also quite good but was a bit rushed), Divinity: Original sins 1 & 2 (1 is quite good, havent played 2 yet but I have heard its way better than the first game). There is also the pillars of eternity games (the first game didnt quite click with me but many ppl like it, havent played the second game).

Theres also some game called Tyrrany (I think), havent played it but the steam reviews are pretty good overall. Same goes for a game called Pathfinder: Kingmaker (or something like that), been thinking of bying this one but my backlog is a bit too large atm so it's gonna have to wait a bit.

Hopefully I didnt forget about something obvious now but the games above I would say is worth checking out :)

Thanks for the suggestions, i definitely wanna play the baldurs series and divinity, ive got Pillars of Eternity 1 so ill check that out too, but for now i think im gonna start with planescape, oh and maybe the original fallout games if they're any good

The original Fallout games were good, but the UI and stuff didnt age to well imho. I tried to play again a couple years ago and found them to be a chore. Went back to the Final Fantasy series instead. Starting at #3 and going forward.

One of the best RPG's of all time. Yes, you should absolutely get this game.

[wicked lester]

Fallout 1 and 2 are indeed a bit of work to get running, but well worth the effort.

Planescape Torment still is my favourite rpg of all time. Great characters, great writing, the background of the main character and especially the story is awesome.

My other favourite is Baldur's Gate 2. I think it's pretty much te perfect CRPG and it has aged much better than BG1, which I find a bit dull to play nowadays: too many almost empty areas that you have to explore and traverse. Areas like these don't exist in BG2 and hardly in PST.

When talking about story and epicness I prefer these over dragon age (DA 1 is good, the sequels less so). I like the battle system in Divinity, but the story and especially the characters feel a bit bland and generic when i compare these with Planescape torment.
Icewind dale has the same kind of gameplay as Baldurs gate, but it lacks a good story IMO and especially no interesting party members.

A recent game that I loved storywise is disco elysium. However, this one has no combat.

If youre into story, Yes.

If youre into combat, play Baldurs gate instead.( Even though imo the story in baldurs gate is better. Planescape is very "figure of speech" oriented. Alot of word play and deeper meanings behind whats going on. If you can play this for the first time and know wtf is actually happening beyond the main plot points then youre insane )

Already completed it at this point, finished back in January, I loved the story but ye I had a lot of problems with the gameplay tho but in general I reallly loved it
