RPG Games Recommendation

Posted 05-17-2008 at 09:23 PM by Lightning Rod
Hi all

I have only played a few RPGs, but I think I'm hooked.

SWKOTOR I & II
Neverwinter Nights
Morrowind

I enjoyed them all.

I like the 'figure out how to do it' as much as the 'hack and slash' portions.

I don't mind learning how to play the older games. They're a lot cheaper after a few years.

I'm thinking about my next 'adventure' and am considering Baldur's Gate. Any suggestions?

Icewind Dale 1 and 2, Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, Elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall, Elder Scrolls 3 Tribunal and Bloodmoon (if you've only played morrowind), and Divine Divinity are good places to start.

Aside from Morrowind/Tribunal/Bloodmoon, though, most of the games I mentioned aren't even 3D if that's important to you.

I've got Bloodmoon and Tribunal as the GOTY edition, but am still clearing all the morrowind side quests. That game is huge!

I prefer the 3D graphics, but the overall game experience is the most important.

Thanks for the input.

There are several threads about this in RPG Discussion section, so it would be good idea to check those threads as well.

But IMO, Fallout 1 and 2, Arx Fatalis, Planescape: Tornment, The Witcher and Neverwinter Nights 2 are worthy to check. The Witcher of course only if it runs on your computer...

You say you don't really mind about graphical quality. If that's so, try & hunt out the various titles by SSI, especially the Gold Box series like Pools of Radiance (1987-1991!),

Also the Eye of the Beholder series (not the GBA tile, which is more akin to FTL's Dungeon Master) - EotB, Legend of Darkmoon & Assault On Myth Drannor; also from SSI working with Westwood (Command & Conquer).

Like BG, these were barrier-breakers of their day and, IMO, the standard bearers of CRPG at the time, along with the Ultima series.

For sheer size, try the earlier Elder Scrolls titles, Arena (now a free download) or Daggerfall).
