Wanted: Good RPG

Tezcatlipoca · 02-02-2008, 04:30 PM

I was not really into RPGs until a had a fateful encounter with "Neverwinter Nights" and that changed my view on RPGs. I still don't like the battles where you have to take turns on defending and attacking, but that's what made the difference for me on Neverwinter, cause that game doesn't have that.
Anyway, the point of this topic is for you guys to help me out, if you please, on my search for a great RPG game that doesn't that battle in turns thing.....
I was going to buy "Oblivion" or "The Witcher", apparently theire awesome.... any opinions?

NWN2? ^^

Yes, Oblivion is very good, just like Morrowind (some say Morrowind is better though). But these are different from NWN. You have to attack/block here. If You want (another) D&D style RPG try Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 1+2. Or if You'd rather play in a medieval setting Icewind Dale, Baldur's Gate. These last two are old games, but very good).

The Witcher. I haven't played that yet, but I heard it's a bit different from classical RPGs, regarding the combat system.

I have NWN 2... :P, its not as good as the first, but if it werent for all its bugs, it would be an awesome game indeed.
Don't know Morrowind, but i shall investigate, as for KOTOR, i played the first one, i guess i have to get the second one too, uh... so much to do, so much time to waste... thanks!

Your welcome.

Have fun! ^^

Yupp. I would also advice you to try out Baldurs Gate 1+2, Icewind Dale 1+2 and "Pool of Radiance 2" as well as "Temple of the elemental Evil". They are all D&D Games. And very good ones too.^^

Mhmm Morrowind and Oblivion are execellent RPGs, the witcher is also quite nice, another one worth looking for would be Two worlds

hope i've been of help

You might want to try Dungeon Siege 2 and the expansion, it's a bit more diablo2ish than the others but it's quite good all the same

Dungeon Siege 2 is an awesome game! I totally forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. ;)

But it's rather a strategy than RPG.

Since when is this a Strategy-Game? I wouldn´t even call it RPG. It´s more the Hack`n Slay type of Game, like Diablo.

I played Morrowind a lot.
It's a very good game, but I think it doesn't look good without PlugIns.
There's a lot of them out there, if you get the right ones, it's awesome.
I think I've wasted hundrets of hours, just running around, dicovering. Total freedom.
