RPG games ?

[Staalbal]

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 <3

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

then The Witcher without a doubt ..... but don't give Fallout3 a miss, it's a brilliant game.

 

[Stefan9]

Witcher,Mass effect,Drakensang and Fallout 3 are the best rpgs from the last year.

 

[Staalbal]

Think I need to go walk around in a Game shop tonight for an hour or so

 

[Solitude]

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.

 

[Staalbal]

Think I'll give it a pop. Hope it's in stock though

 

[Voicy]

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...

Remember to get The Witcher patch up and running before you start playing it (think it was a 1GB patch, if you can call something that big a patch)

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.

 

[Warlynx]

True true ... forgot about that. I saw the enhanced edition at BT, but DEFCON 5 is selling the old one (where I bought mine)

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.

 

[Isengard]

I'd add Sacred 2 to the list. After the patches it's one brilliant experience.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

phoenix bru ..... you dare add that awful experience (aka The Bards Tale) to an RPG list ...... you're banned from the Guild

 

[phoenix]

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.

 

[Stefan9]

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.

 

[phoenix]

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 pirate copy was dodgy or if it was because I was not enjoying it / got sucked back into wow.
