recommend a rpg
 

just played thru arcanum, and I want more. what other current RPGs are there. Has the chris reynolds rpg come out yet? How is Siege of avalon? Legend of the north? Anachronox?

Well...I've never heard of any of the games you listed. You're looking for PC RPGs?

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

Wizardy 8 is the best one I've played since Baldur's Gate II.

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.

What's great about these games is that you can get a box containing both Fallout and Fallout 2 for 9.99 in the "Bargain Bin" at just about any software store. That's an amazing deal.

Word! I picked these up and they are great.

fallout is old news for me. I;m actuallly a contributor to a number of fallout faqs. Really hated baldurs gate, but I loved Planescape:Torment. Id really like to keep this thread alive, so please keep the suggestions coming

what are the system requirements for Fallout and Fallout 2. I have an old machine so I am just wondering.

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.

Did you try Baldur's Gate II? I didn't really like the original, but I loved the second one.

I played em with a P2 300, and loading was a tad slow, but since it's turnbased, you won't lose out in combat or anything.

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?

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.

I used to play the original on a p75 laptop. You may need to do a full install though.

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.
