I plan to get another RPG game yet due my limited budget I must be more selective nowadays. I humbly request inputs from all of you upon the pros and cons of the games which currently on my "Wanna buy" list. Here are the games :
Divine Divinity
Celtic Kings: Rage of War
Icewind Dale II
Prince of Qin
Valhalla Chronicles
Gorasul: The Lecacy of the Dragon

Gorasul: poor imitation-BG2 graphics, mediocre gameplay.
IWD2: If you like the series and enjoy 3E rules, get it.
Divine Divinity: I'm playing this, now. So far, it's quite well done, though lacking much in the way of originality.

Does IWD 2 like IWD & HOW ? I mean the game is all actions and less side quests ?

It's mostly action, very linear, but also has some good puzzles. The interface is much improved, and I admit to really enjoying the 3E changes.

I'll join in Kid04023341 cry for help, My budget is limited also to one, and my comp is limited to nothing more graphically demanding then BG 2.
I'm looking for something with a good multiplayer option to.

Well Diablo 2 is a good game with a great multi player network...

Diablo 2 is more action type than RPG type. I finish it only 4 days as the expansion pack : Lord of Destruction, I finish it only in 2 days. US Surgeon Warning : No Cheat or Editor involved on finishing the game

The thing with diablo is that if you play it on the web, it's not finishing the game that matters but what lvl you are (I'm 82

)

Ah...that takes me back...not bad - I had (I think) two lvl81 and a lvl65ish...but I gave away my account so I don't know...battle.net is fabulous though, until all the dupes/non-release of 1.10 problems started cropping up.

Ack... what is it about that game? I don´t even like it, the interface is sucky and it´s way too much hack'n'slash.
Bleh!

Of the games you suggest, I´d recommend IWD2, besides being an almost all-action game, it´s great, both graphically and gameplayally (sp?).

KidD01 · Post by **KidD01** » Tue Oct 08, 2002 1:44 am

I don't mean to be sarcastic here, yet I only see IWD2 answers. How about other games I've mentioned ? anyone played them ?

Well I guess fable still one good reliable source

@fable : Lemme knwo about othergames that I've mention if you happen to test them

Isn't IWD also hack and slash only. Besides I don't like NWN for it's inbuilt campain but for the fan material that is created and that you your self can create your own world

Edit: from the list I would recommend Valhalla, I played at a friend once and it looked cool. Not cool enogh to buy but still cool.
