Hello,

I've been following this thread for a while in the hopes that someone will list a game that I haven't heard of or haven't played. As it turns out, the games that people mention have also been my favorites- which I have played many times. For instance, Might and Magic 6,7, and 8 (9 is horrible), the Bard's Tale series, and Morrowind. The type of RPGs that I just listed are the type that I dearly love, and Wizardry 8 is absolutely fascinating and addicitive.

In any case, it seems as if the type of RPGs that are really great are fewer and farther between. Last week I passed by two gaming stores in the local mall that used to carry primarily PC games where I would browse for something new and interesting. Now they have a teeny tiny section for PC games with the rest Playstation, Gamecube, and Xbox. It really seems that the trend is moving away from the PC platform.

I wonder how many more games will follow in the footsteps of the multi-character, quest driven, non-linear, skill building, full of personality games that I love.

Anyway, just a thought. Sorry for the long post. Welcome any responses.
