Hi All,

I am looking for other RPG type games, I have played BG 1 & 2 and IWD 1 & 2 many times. I tried NWN, but couldn't get into it. I was wondering if their are any other RPG games similar to IWD and BG? Preferably not online games.

Thanks in advance.

A lot of folks here may suggest that you try Planescape Torment, but I've never played it, so I'm not sure what it's like. It's supposed to be really good though; from what I've heard, very roleplay-oriented. Fallout 1&2 may be something to look into also.

If you like Star Wars, play KOTOR.

Planscape: Torment, The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind.

- Planescape Torment (masterpiece of literary/gaming art!) Highly reccomended indeed.

- Arcanum is another which should be suggested, since its engine is also similar in style to the Baldur's Gate stuff.

- The fallouts, as already suggested (I'm still playing the original one at the moment in fact...)

- You could always try Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, but I don't reccomend it, even if a mate of mine has completed it. If you can stomach a buggy, unintuitive interface, empty repetitive music and hollow encounters, then go for it! :D

- Any of the Ultima's 4-8 use an isometric/top down view as well, and would definitely be worth your time, if you are able to play old games and don't mind spending some time configuring them to run. (which I don't, but many do.) These games are highly influential upon the infinity engine stuff and have given me much joy for their depth.
Ultima IV is free for download and has numerous additional patches/enhancements made for it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And in a year or two, there will be Dragon Age!! (Can't forget about that! ;) )

Diablo and Lionheart are an option too.

Some good choices, cheers, that should keep me busy.

Recently i heard about an RPG called the Bard's Tale or something similiar, anyone know what its called exactly? I believe it's due out this month.

Try Divine Divinity. It has a bit of Baldurs Gate, Diablo and Morrowind in it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

bards tale is one of the games which im waiting for as well :D .

and correct with all of these games. it would take you at least 3 months non-stop playing to finish all of those [img]tongue.gif[/img] . by then, new rpg games would have come out :D .

Bard Tales is already out in PS2 sometime ago. If we are talking about the same game that is.

I think the best so far is Betrayal at Krondor. This has everything a good rpg should have. This is early 3d pionnered in 1993.
Has weapon and armour that takes damage and needs tobe repaired thru your weapon or armourcraft skills.
Other skills used, stealth, scouting, barding,haggling, lockpicking,crossbow meleedefence and accessment.Finally there is casting for spell user, your spells may not alwasys work 100% of the time. All skills cna increase with use and practice.

All The player characters stats are based on strenght, health, stamia and speed.

Magic spells are drawn from the mage character's stamina or through an object. Once a spellcaster uses a spell the casters stamina is reduced. Ther are magic items also which have there own powers.

The one drwback of the game is the number of characters you control, two or three at one time and it is limited to the cast of the game.

This wonder can be still downloaded free on the web. To find out were go to topic Betrayal at Krondor in this forum.

ya um the infinity engine game u missed is planescape torment and thats the best one.

the expansion for nwn hordes of the underdark is much better than the orignal game

the gothic games are really cool

I agree with SuperChief, Betrayal at Krondor is by far one of the best games for PC--as far as gameplay and story goes. The graphics and sounds are now dated but are still functional. This is an awesome game that any fan of fantasy would like.

Also, make sure it is Betrayal at Krondor and not Return to Krondor. BaK was awesome, RtK was not.

The Gothic games are fun as well--better than Morrowind in my opinion. But they do take a little while to get used to.
