Hello, I've played both Kotors and Vampire Bloodlines and I really liked them, especially the conversations, so can you help me and recommend games in which you can have long and interesting conversations like in those two. Thanks.

Well this is a bit similar but not quite, still great plot and long conversations. The one and only Planescape Torment. It's a rpg made with infinity engine(same as in baldur's gate). I recommend it if you really like depth and an interesting dialog

Ps. Welcome to Gamebanshee!

Thanks for the welcome!

Though I don't think I'll find such an old game , choice isn't great here, you can't even get some newer games.

Have you checked ebay, I think you can buy it from there with a reasonable price.

They sometimes sell it on ebay - I picked up a copy of Planescape:Torment about a month or two ago for about £3 on ebay.

Can't think of many games along the lines of KOTOR or Bloodlines. For a similar game like the KOTOR series, I'd recommend Fable: The Lost Chapters.

Along the lines of Bloodlines, you could try out The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion but that's if your PC is high-end. First Person RPGs, though I'm not a fan of them. I also have another suggestion but it will be way out of topic and not part of the RPG side. You could try out Half-Life 2 since Vampires: Bloodlines uses the same Source engine as Half-Life 2 (in fact, the developer of Vampires got the rights to use Valve's proprietary Source engine on Vampires: the Masquerade). Anyway, Half-Life 2 perform much better than Vampires even though they used the same engine so I highly recommend it.

Well, I did try Oblivion, and I didn't like it, all the quests are pretty much same and straightforward. Anyway, I managed to find where I can get the game, so thanks everyone for the help.

Gothic and Gothic II ofcourse.

Have you tried Jade Empire? If you have an it's in the same vein (story and dialogue wise) as the previous games you mentioned. It's on X-Box and, I think, coming to PC soon. Older Bioware PC games such as Planescape Torment (best dialogue in any game, probably), the Baldur Gates, and the Fallout series are other options (particularly BG2). The graphics are a bit of a let down, though. My guess is that when NwN2 premieres at the end of October, you'll have another title with some solid dialogue (or at least that's the hope).

Like already mentioned, try out Planescape: Torment - although it's not very similar to the games you mentioned, it's recommendable nonetheless. If you don't care much about graphics, you probably should try out Arcanum, which was made by Troika (Vampire Bloodlines' developers) and which is a great RPG, Fallout which is even better and Prelude to Darkness, which is just as great and which was done by the independant developer Zero Sum. The latter can be downloaded for free at the Zero Sum website (it's a little buggy and crashes often, but it's playable and totally worth the download).
