I need a good RPG. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 13/01/2011 06:49:32 PM
Any suggestions?

Games I loved: Morrowind, Mass Effect
Games I enjoyed: Oblivion, Dragon Age, Mass Effect 2
Games I disliked: Fallout 3, Torchlight

If I have to, I'll play KotR. Thinking about getting Fable: The Lost Chapters.

The Witcher Zalis - 13/01/2011 07:13:50 PM 1819 Views
I have the Witcher waiting at home for me to install next week Stephen - 13/01/2011 08:59:45 PM 1607 Views
Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:38:15 AM 1733 Views
If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:07:12 PM 1705 Views
All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 978 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 1745 Views
It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM 1728 Views
I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers) Aemon - 15/01/2011 08:12:34 PM 1684 Views
The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:15:10 PM 1759 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 977 Views
I don't have time to do this justice, but I'll make a brief comment. Aemon - 18/01/2011 09:30:20 PM 1722 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 1705 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 1686 Views
Re: Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 10:43:20 PM 1764 Views
So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often. Legolas - 25/01/2011 10:28:34 PM 1617 Views
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn? Fanatic-Templar - 13/01/2011 08:00:21 PM 1646 Views
Try Divinity 2: Dragonknight Saga. Dan - 13/01/2011 10:38:45 PM 1890 Views
Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1676 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 1815 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1678 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 1703 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 956 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 1756 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 1727 Views
awwww...I loved Fallout 3 Fox and Ravens - 14/01/2011 03:37:51 PM 1629 Views
No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 1867 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 959 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1646 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1649 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 1728 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 1708 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1742 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1559 Views
"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 944 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 1698 Views
I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 05:09:34 PM 1826 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1644 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 944 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 1703 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 1721 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1631 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 1754 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 939 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1670 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1617 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 1781 Views
Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game. Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 06:43:16 PM 1728 Views
Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO. Zalis - 21/01/2011 11:57:26 PM 1766 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1658 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 1746 Views
ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off. Zalis - 22/01/2011 03:27:05 PM 1569 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 1757 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 1769 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1687 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 960 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 895 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1673 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 1766 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1584 Views
Do you know about "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"? It will be released Nov 2011 *NM* Roland00 - 15/01/2011 04:52:13 AM 909 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1624 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1692 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1675 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 1874 Views
That was the first FF I quit before even finishing, and consequently the last I played in the series Zalis - 18/01/2011 03:23:40 PM 1693 Views
I wouldn't even call JRPGs and Western RPGs the same genre, really. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 19/01/2011 02:45:17 PM 889 Views
Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella. Zalis - 19/01/2011 03:11:41 PM 1665 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 1743 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 927 Views
If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/01/2011 06:36:02 PM 898 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1674 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 933 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 1743 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1604 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 1750 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 1735 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 1713 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 897 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 798 Views
Strat-RPG?? Are they doing a Jagged Alliance sequel?? ianski - 21/01/2011 02:06:05 PM 1565 Views
