    I’m gonna defend the Americans on this one.

    Fallout and Elder Scrolls are two of the most obvious examples that could have been listed, but they weren’t.

    Fallout? And I mean the Black Isle fallouts.

    Speaking of Black Isle, they also did Planescape and Icewind Dale.

    Also: Bioware made Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2; they’re Canadian not European. Unless they just mean 3.

    And of course, the OG RPG: D&D. Pretty sure Gygax was American.

    Fallout, Wasteland, The Elder Scrolls.
    Also smaller games come to my mind, like Child of Light or South Park: The Stick Of Truth which are made by Ubisoft Montreal.

      Yeah, “western RPGs” from a couple decades ago were mostly made in the US. Then Bethesda bought interplay and it all went to shit.

      And thanks for reminding me of Child of Light, I’ve had it in my library for ages, installing it to my steam deck right now :)

        You’re right it was only published by Ubi. The Fractured but Whole was developed by Ubisoft*

              Never in my life have I seen someone say “Americans” and mean “People from the continent of America.”

                Well, it would be a bit unfair to talk about “European” games and “Asian” games, and on the other side “USA-made” games.
                There are three countries in North America, we should at least include the two others.

                North America*. Besides that, people often group Canadians and Americans together quite often. The two countries are very similar culturally. I have seen it become more and more common to say North Americans when talking about things culturally. When it comes to politics or the specific country itself, of course it makes sense to separate them.

    Intentionally lists RPGs not made in US

    “Why doesn’t my list have RPGs made in the US?!?”

    ಠ_ಠ

    Elder scrolls, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect would all like a word

    Pathfinder - Asia

    Uhh, no? Paizo is an American company. Based in Redmond, Washington, according to Wikipedia.

      The post is clearly talking about video games. It is reasonable to conclude they are talking about the Pathfinder video games, which were not made by Paizo, but by Owlcat Games. Whether or not Cyprus is part of Asia is kind of debatable, but they are certainly not American.

      I think they meant Owlcat Games, creators of Pahtfinder Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous video games. They are based in Cyprus but their developers are all over the place from what I know (so it’s more Europe-Asia kind of thing but I may be wrong)
