Desperate for a good RPG to play

[pr-man 1]

Ok here is a list of the ones I have and have already played. (recent ones anyway)

 

ultima IX

Baldures gate 1 and 2

Arx Fatalis

Neverwinter Nights

Icewind dale 2

Morrowind

Dungeon siege

Deaus Ex

[DosFreak 2]

No Fallout????!!

[pr-man 1]

actually I have played fallout 1 and 2 hehe

[pmistry 0]

Deus Ex?

[pr-man 1]

played it also

[Bursar 0]

I think pmistry was more surprised that you listed Deus Ex as an RPG.

 

I'd say it was more of a thinking shooter than an RPG. The choices you could make in the game were fairly limited, and although some of them did influence events later on, I still wouldn't class it as an RPG.

 

As for suggestions on what to play, then I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Deus Ex is kind of a quasi RPG and FPS. You are right in that it is not a full fledged RPG.

1) Morrowind expansion: tribunal.

2) Diablo 1 and 2 and diablo 2 expansion.

3) Pool of radiance.

4) Vampire the masquerade: redemption

5) Ice wind dale.

6) The longest journey.

7) Planescape torment.

 

All I can think of that recent or somewhat recent off the top of my head. Can always suggest everquest but thats another bag of beans in itself.

[pr-man 1]

1) Morrowind expansion: tribunal. Have it

2) Diablo 1 and 2 and diablo 2 expansion. Have it

3) Pool of radiance. Tried it but did not like it

4) Vampire the masquerade: redemption Never tried it

5) Ice wind dale. Cant stand the bad graphics

6) The longest journey. Loved it

7) Planescape torment Never tried it

 

 

Thx for the reply

If you liked Deus Ex (I hate it myself), then you'll LOVE System Shock 2!

[pr-man 1]

Yeah System shock 1 and 2 were sweet. I still ahev both original game cds

I'm rather surprised no one has suggested the Final Fantasy series... IMO, the best RPG series out there.

[Gargus 0]

There hasnt been a good final fantasy game since part 3 was out on super nintendo.

 

Not sure if I am reaching to far back with some of these so bear with me.

1) Might and magic series.

2) Neverwinter nights

3) Baldurs gate 1 or 2

4) Space quest (comes in a box set now a days frim sierra)

5) Phantasmagoria (box set again)

6) Gabriel knight trilogy (box set once again)

7) Fallout 3.

8 ) Grim fandango

9) Monkey island series (box set type thingy, know bestbuy carries it)

Play Planescape Tormnet. That was by far one of the best ever.

Well it was all downhill starting with 7, IMO.

[adamvjackson 0]

Yes, I agree, my personal favorite was 6 (3 on the SNES). Excellent story, excellent graphics for it's time, and arguably some of the best video game music ever.

If you loved the Longest Journey, I would recommend that you try and find a game called "Syberia" Don't know who publishes it in the US, but check out the website.

Don't know if it's by the same people who did the Longest Journey, but it has the same feel to it - quality graphics, excellent storyline, interesting puzzles. The only shame is that it was over too quickly for my liking - although they are already working on a sequel!!

Hope this helps,

Yes, and the same company also has Post Mortem, which should be released soon, if it hasn't been already. Both games look great!

[adamvjackson 0]

Here is some information on Post Mortem, but it's really an adventure game, not an RPG. To the original poster, have you looked at Divine Divinity? I haven't looked at it yet, but the screenshots like nice. There's a demo available, too, which has the first dungeon... You'll only want to get that if you have broadband, though, as it's 400+ MB.

[pr-man 1]

I have divine divinity. gameplay was boring and aggravating at times

[Gargus 0]

If you liked longest journey might also want to take a look at sanitarium. Same gameplay and such.

[tweaked 0]

Arcanum, was IMO a very fun RPG.

 

the ability to go techno or magic was very cool.

[DosFreak 2]

We seem to be going from RPG->Adventure->ClickFest light-RPG.

 

What next? Interactive Movie FF7+?

 

Darn, already went there.....

 

How about FPS with RPG elements?

 

NOLF2, Deus EX , Thief?

Look for Gothic 2 ENGLISH sometime in late feb'2003

 

you can try out Gothic 1 still kicking. Rest 2001-2002 rpgs cant even be labled as rpgs

Games that spring to mind:

 

Ultima 7 Part 1 & 2 (playable under Win32 now with the Exult application.)

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 (solid long RPGs from the creators of Fallout 1 & 2, but if you didn't like Icewind Dale's graphics...)
