... you are going to take time away from Wizardry 8?

i dont about all that i just love games

Assuming you want a CRPG, you might consider Gorasul. It's a BG2 clone from Germany. Has some translation problems, but it also does some original things (like gift you with a starting weapon which improves as you do, and can be used by no one else in your party).

Patrician II is the best merchant-style strategy game I've ever played.

cool il look into it.....a really good game i though was stronghold a castle sim.Another good game coming out is serious sam 2 but that a month or more away.

RtCW looks great, image wise... but it's kinda letdown in the rest. it just doesn't really have that spark. it's a solid 3 out of 5, but there's better games.

i have gorasul, and there's a patch that fixes some of the bugs it shipped with. i really like it alot! its a top down game like baldur's gate. and the translation is hilarious. altho some spots it kinda leaves you with that feeling that you just stepped thru a doorway into a parallel universe where you almost understand what's going on, but not quite. LOL. i still don't let it bug me. there's also gonna be a new translation. they are working on it now. should be out soon.

it's very enjoyable tho. and it can be frustrating. the monsters remember things about you. mostly how you travel from map to map and adapt to it. i used to go to the nw corner and hug the edge and scout for red spots on the map, but now, as soon as i land there, i get swamped! it's very challenging that way. always gotta adapt and change your strats on the fly.
before wiz8 came out, i woulda given gorasul a solid 4 out of 5, but i just can't anymore. wiz8 raised the bar again. but dang, i just spent a couple of paragraphs talking about it, so i must still like it. LOL.

there just haven't been that many good rpgs lately. altho, if you like bg and bg2, i recommend getting one more runthru (i've been thru it 4 times) and downloading the new mod for it, The Darkest Day. its an add-in, not add-on. so you have to install bg2 and TDD at the same time and play from the beginning. theres like 100 new spells, all new areas for about 50 hours of play time, monsters brought in from IceWind Dale and newly created ones. it's very cool.
you can get it here.

but you know, lotsa good stuff is coming out soon, from mm9 to neverwinter nights and morrowind. those are the 3 i am waiting for. they are the only things that might possibly break my wiz8 fix.

If you want a nice FPS game, I recommend AvP2, though if you've got a weak heart I suggest that you don't try the Marine campaign.

[Merkin]

I agree about AvP2, scariest damn shooter I've played in a looong time. If your heart is strong, play it in a dark room wih the speakers and sub-woofer kicked up...holy sh*t!

For RPG's not a damn thing new to recommend. Haven't tried Gorusul, but as someone said, it loks too much like a BG clone. I'll wait till it hits the bargain bin. Speaking of which...plenty of cheapies out there htat are well worht a play if you havent
Undying, Deus Ex, FO 1&2, MM 6,7,8 all of these are great, cheap games.

from what I heard Gothic is supposed to be awesome. it's definitely the most RPG of the current releases.
or perhaps Civilization 3, the latest incarnation of the classical social-life-destroyer [img]smile.gif[/img] .

[Jerry Austin]

Is gothic out now????
Im thinking bout gorasul.
