| | | Game Recomendations
I'm looking for a new game to play, and am wondering if there are any mideval, fantasy, RPGs that I might like. I like simple games, but not so simple that they are boring. Also, I like to have at least one character that I can fully customize. Also, one with no cheats or difficulty sliders would be prefrible, as I "tend" to abuse them.
Any recomendations are greatly welcomed.

| | | Well, you could try:
- Neverwinter Nights
- Jade Empire
- Morrowind
- Oblivion
I doubt any of the above have difficulty sliders but as for cheats, they will definitely have them (in fact, almost all games have them, so it's hard to avoid unless you don't use them).

| | Sain, have you played any RPG before? If so, what have you played, and what did you think about it?
We can recommend games better if you tell us what you like or dislike.

| | | I guess I have really good taste in games, because I have played all of the above(excluding Jade Empire). But I have played: Fable, Morrowind, Oblivion, NWN one and two, KotoR one doesn't work on my computer and two doesn't work since I uninstalled it, Diablo, and Dark Alliance I and II.

How about Icewind Dale? Or Baldur's Gate? Two Worlds? |

| | I wouldn't recommend Two Worlds. A better choice would be Titan Quest. Or if you really wanna go retro, play Diablo.

| | | True enough, Titan Quest is a very good game. |

Poor graphics and performance, awkward combat and a rather lousy writing if you ask me. Not to mention the fact that you need to download 1GB+ worth of patches does make you wonder whether it is worth it or not.

| | | Post removed. Sorry, but this is a thread for one specific person who is looking for RPGs that exactly fit his needs (medieval fantasy, simple game, one character, highly customizable, etc). Please start a new thread if you want to ask for RPG recommendations, and state what kind of games you're looking for. That way, we won't have two completely different sets of posts in the same thread for different kinds of RPGs.

| | | Icewind Dale and Balder's Gate aren't very enjoyable to me, a bit too old. Titan's Quest is alright but I can't really get into it. Diablo II was good but it's not my favorite style of gaming. I just started playing Gothic III(not sure why Game Banshee doesn't have anything about it though) And I really like it, but it only works on my Dad's computer and I see him one day a week.

| | | Sadly, there aren't many newer games out there that meet your precise specifications.
Given the type of games you mention that you've played, I'd give Jade Empire a whirl. It's set in an Asian medieval fantasy setting, which may be a bit outside of your definition of ideal game. Still, it's got a good story and is fairly entertaining. Combat is a bit different, but it's not horribly difficult.
Of other games you've not mentioned, the Witcher is set in a unique fantasy setting. I've yet to play it, but by most accounts it's a good game. It does carry a mature rating and content, though.
RPG wise, you've played most of what i would recommend. I'm thinking of trying out "Overlord". There's a PC version of it and I've read that it's a fairly light and entertaining game. Though, it has a slightly more focused on recruiting and leading followers. It might be worth checking out, as well. Sci-Fi role playing wise, Mass Effect is entertaining, as well. Again, it carries a mature rating. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread |  Linear Mode | |
