I have a pretty big problem. The last 9 or so games that i have bought havent been beaten. I play each of them for a little while and then go buy a new one. Its starting to feel like a waste cuz now i dont know which oones to start and beat. Usually i get stuck with something like picking a class that i like. Does anyone else have this problem. By the way the latest games that i got are:
1. Baldurs gate 2
2. Pool of Radiance
3. Warcraft 3
4. Medal of Honor: allied assault
5. Hitman 2
6. Morrowind
7. Wizardry 8
8. Arx Fatalis

Welcome to SYM, Gorgan.

No doubt in my mind for that question: BG2.

Might try Planescape: Torment, you know. It's extremely good, and more beatable than some.

Well, before voting for BG2, I see you have games from different genres there.

So, my question is: what genre is your fav? Which one do you prefer over the others?

Myself, I am an RPG diehard fan, so I'd start with BG2.

Once you choose a game, stick to it and swear to yourself you won't touch the other ones until you are done with it. That is why I advice you start with one which genre you like the most, this way it would be easier for you to stick to it until you have beaten it.

Sure, fable, you'd have to pick a game that's not even on his list. don't make the poor guy go out and get another game that he won't finish . . .

@Gorgan:
BG2 all the way.

No disagreement with BG2. I just thought that since he'd tried that lot and not enjoyed 'em enough to finish...

Or maybe I'll just settle for being an evil git. Yes; that's more fun.

...it would be great to see the outcome since this game really takes time to finish.

I like every game that i have gotten. The problem is more me then the games. I cant seem to make my mind up about anything when it comes to games. For example, in BG2 I must of played every class before i got bored of it. Its the same thing with morrowind. I love rpgs and the thought of roleplaying is so cool, but for some reason every rpg i have played has lacked in one or more elements (besides Star Ocean 2: The second Story for playstation, but that is a whole different story). Im the farthest with medal of honor so i think i will finish that off and then move on to an rpg. Which rpg should i play first out of my selection?

...what the previous posters stated. -> BG2

No, BS, fable hasn't paid me for this endorsement.

...endorsements from you would mean raking in millions?

BTW, welcome to GB-SYM, Gorgan.

Endorsements from me will no doubt earn a great deal of money--after I've been savagely beaten to death by LotR fans, for critiquing Tolkien.

@Gorgan, welcome, indeed. Hope you'll stay around.

Well, much as I would love to break a trend, it must be BGII.

Everyone has said it, but there is a good reason - it's the best game.

I expect that, if you added the number of hours spent playing BGII by GameBanshee members together, you would probably have several lifetimes of playing...

So play it!

Perhaps dual-classing would be a good way to keep your mind in it...that way, you have a series of objectives to meet, and before you know it, you will be an unstoppable 20/20 maxed out Bhaalspawn machine of death....and an *aherm* skillful and dedicated roleplayer to boot. No doubt.
