A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

FF Origin? Lies of P is still full price, Lords of Fallen has some bad reviews, Remnant 2 was good but badly optimised so I can't run it.

Opening up Morrowind to try to replace Starfield or DOS 1 to replace Baldur's Gate 3

I want to enjoy those games so bad, but I always get so bogged down by the constant new equipment. I find myself spending 50% of the time comparing new equipment to what I already have.

What I do is dismantle everything that's not the highest gear quality. You can do that in the menu without looking at any individual items. Then disassemble weapons that aren't the type I'm using. Also doable without looking at any specific items.

Then I do a quick scan of new armor and throw out anything that's the wrong weight class. You can't do that automatically but it's pretty quick.

That makes the equipment game much faster. You'll be left with a handful of things to compare. And frankly I sometimes just skim through what's left for any unusual mods and then move on.

I also was overwhelmed at first but I realized a lot of it isn't important.
