Anachronox is supposed to be pretty good. You can d/l a demo of it somewhere. I tried for awhile, but it wasn't really my thing. Gothic is another one you'd probably like: http://www.gogamer.com/cgi-bin/GoGam...ct/View/001GOT

If you want an RPG experience but would like something other than a traditional fantasy setting, try the Fallout series.
If massively multiplayer online rpg's are of interest, I've been playing Everquest for a couple of years now.

Have you ever played Phantasmogoria? I use to love that game alot. You probably have though and it really isn't too much of an RPG but I also loved The Day of the Tentacle too. Those are both old, I know.

Another massive multiplayer online rpg i'd suggest is Dark Age of Camelot. This is the game that finally allowed me to quit playing Everquest after playing it over a year.

I have played through Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment (until my OS crashed and I lost my save files for Planescape... AAAAAARGH!... my Nameless One was pretty awesome), which I both loved, but I just couldn't get into Fallout. Played it after Baldur's Gate II. Maybe I should be more patient or something.
I'm considering picking up BG I and the expansion pack, and taking a character all the way through BG I ---> BG II's expansion pack (which I have yet to play). I'm just wondering if BG I will be a disappointment after playing through BG II already. Any thoughts?
Fire bad!

I couldn't get into BG at all -- guess I'm not used to the D&D system, but it wasn't nearly as intuitive as Fallout -- plus, the combat was all whacky, not that good old fashioned turn-based goodness.

Don't bother with fallout tactics either. It's boring and unchallenging.

F: Tactics was fun IMO, but it took so dang long to play a single mission, and it was buggy beyond belief. I can't believe it went gold as soon as it did. A good game on it's own, but it's pretty half-assed for having the Fallout name on it.
