| | | Wich new RPG to buy
I'm kinda outdated on new rpg's cause I've frozen myself over Baldurs Gate series...
I need a non top computer needed RPG along with some decent single player history.
And, if possible, a first person shooter too. I got Unreal 2, for last FPS...
Any hint? |

| | | Maybe you should tell us which games you already have? Jagged Alliance 2 ( partly RPG, partly strategy - anyway, a great game)? Arcanum? Gothic-Series?

| | I'd be interested in a good RPG also, but I guess I'm mostly just waiting for the new ones to come out. 
As for FPS ... well Farcry is rather decent to blow away some time on. |

If you haven't played it - Morrowind might be worth a try for you. I've even thought about starting it again, just because I lack RPGs to play |

| | If you can find a copy, as far as a great story-based RPG goes I'd highly recommend Planescape Torment!  It has an in-depth story that explores the complexity of the 'human' spirit in a way I've never before seen an RPG do... one of the most amazing games I have ever played...

| | Well, when you finally get the will up to play it, you'll find that you won't have the will to stop playing it. |

The game evokes a finely-crafted, multi-textured novel in which the plot and purpose are not immediately apparent, but as the threads gradually begin to weave together the reader is inexorably drawn in.

| | Planescape: Torment. No question. Easily the deepest, best written, least cliched, most affecting CRPG yet to be made. Well, IMHO.
