looking for a good RPG

[ThePrankMonkey]

ok i'm looking for a good RPG. like something similar to D&D and the bards tale, you create your own character(s) (i prefer multiple characters i can control) and name them and so on and so forth.

i havent seen a decent game like this in a long time. if anyone can help me out i'd appreciate it. i'm up for any genre (fantasy, sci fi, etc) as long as its a REAL RPG.

Look no further! It's only an SP game, but the game design is superb!

If you're looking for real RPG I don't know if you can get that in single player, but that might depend on your definitions. If you're more interested in role playing than in fancy graphics, then I suggest Threshold a MUD where role playing is mandatory.

XIII, I am going to check out your Morrowind thread. This past weekend I started playing Baldur's Gate again. I bought it (with the expansion) a few years ago but have never completed it. When (if?) I finish I'll probably want to buy something newer ...

Baldur's Gate, runs great on any somewhat modern computer... (550 Mhz +, and it runs flawlessly)

Uses Advanced D&D rules..... so your early character dies alot in the beginning .

Feels like a RTS, except that it encourages using the pause button, so battles are really turn based.

Also characters are upgradable to BG: Tales of the Sword coast, then BG: Shadows of Amn, then BG: Throne of Bhaal.

If you look for Advanced D&D rules, you also have Neverwinter Nights (the same as those who made Baldur's Gate I think).

If it's more role playing you're interested in (I mean your actions are your choice, whereas in NWN you cannot kill someone you need to talk to beforehand), then try Runesword (RS1 is freeware).

Hmmm. The best RPG of all times is Fallout serie. If you don't try it before you should do it!

I don't know any good RPG released in the last time. I think Wizardry8 was the last...

RPG's are traditionally single player, not multiplayer. and Morrowind is the shiznit!

Depends on how you define role playing. How do you role play by yourself?

Most RPGs aren't truly role playing.

 

[SunTzu]

RPGs have always been final fantasy ect...and most RPGs you cannot play with numerous people online.

An excellent one which is not D+D based, and not multi-party-members based is Gothic 2.

Graphically and in terms of game-depth it compares to Morrowind (which is indeed the shiznit), and it's certainly the best new RPG out there.

And for those who've played Morrowind, you need to get Gothic2 as well, trust me.

 

[Hommer]

Gothic is action-RPG, Morrowind is deep RPG with action combat. The VERY different concepts.

 

[SunTzu]

Gothic eh? i'll look for it I'm wanting to get everquest, i hear its pretty good too.

 

[Mikoyan]

I can recomment these following games: Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2 (my all-time favorite), Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind.

Right , Fallout and FalloutII ( but not Fllout tactics !!! ) are best RPG's , game is great . I used to play it a lot , the only problem is when tou know all quests solutions you can't continue playing it like Civ forever .

Planescape Torment is IMO the best RPG (and the best-written computer game) ever. It's D+D rules but you can't name/create your own characters (the protagonist is actually called "The nameless one" ). Good luck finding it however I think it's gone "out of print".

The Fallout games come highly recommended (by me) also.

I've always found Wizardry VII by far the best RPG ever! I've even drawn a map of everything I could discover. I didn't come far in the storyline though. (I should read a walkthrough.)

 

[FortyJ]

I loved the Wizardy series - all of them, even from the days of old (played on my old Apple ][c ).

Playing Morrowind now on X-Box (whenever I get some time). This too is a great game, even if it lacks the nostalgia of the Wizardry series.

 

[Titi]

I noticed that I didn't gave the place where to find Runesword

The only reason I come back with it is because it's a freeware

 

[Cecasander]

It Daggerfall is so rare, when isn't it abondonware?

I want it!

what the hell did u just say?
