I used to love RPG and FPS games before WoW came and removed me from those games for years. What do you think is a nice RPG game worth getting today ?
Oblivion still a good game ? (I never played it)

The Witcher or Fallout3 .... depends which type of RPG you're after. But both are excellent.
I'm trying to find the thread where we listed a whole bunch of these games to someone a while back ...
Horses, swords and so forth. Old school Medi-evil type games <3Quote:

Witcher,Mass effect,Drakensang and Fallout 3 are the best rpgs from the last year.
Think I need to go walk around in a Game shop tonight for an hour or so :D
You can go for any of the games that Stefan9 mentioned. They are all excellent. I also want to try the Witcher sometime in the near future. Everyone who played it said it was a good game.
Think I'll give it a pop. Hope it's in stock though :o
Pitbull ... if you haven't played fable 1 yet you're doing yourself a disservice.
Also dungeon Siege 2 is a classic!
I enjoy the medievil scene, but my absolute favourite RPG's of all time has to be Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic 1 & 2...

He doesn't need the patch if he gets the enhanced edition which is the one the shop should be selling unless they have some very old stock left.Quote:

And they are generally more expensive and the woman that works there makes a funny face as if she stepped in poo
You may want to get hold of the Sacred 2 demo and give that a whirl to see whether it appeals to you.
Also look out for Neverwinter Nights 2, Gothic 3, Dawn of Magic,The Bard's Tale ;) ,Two Worlds and Spellforce 2.
I'd add Sacred 2 to the list. After the patches it's one brilliant experience.
phoenix bru :eek: ..... you dare add that awful experience (aka The Bards Tale) to an RPG list :eek: ...... you're banned from the Guild :mad:
I loved The Bard's Tale, the humour and the surprise ending.
/Dons asbestos suit.
It's a matter of personal taste-or lack thereof.
:p
I liked a bard tale as well.
Others to look at is fallout 1 + fallout 2, better than FO3 imho. The baldur's gate games, planescape torment,arcanum and vampire the masquerade bloodlines.
Those are if you don't have a problem playing old games. The gfx are dates but as far as story and game play go all of them are still up there.
The Fallout Collection is going for R136 at Take 2. Grab it while you can.
I missed out on Planetscape.
How does Fable 2 compare to Gothic 3, Oblivion, Witcher etc?
I played Fable 1 when it first came out but I can't remember it that well. I do know that I never finished it but I'm not certain if that was because my :o pirate copy :o was dodgy or if it was because I was not enjoying it / got sucked back into wow.
No idea. They haven't released a pc version for fable 2 so I haven't played it yet.Quote:

A Bards Tale is brilliant :p I enjoyed the humor.
I wanna pickup the 2 Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance games... i'm willing to salvage an original xbox console just to play them... they were brilliant!
