So you through w/ SOA & TOB what next......

ScottG · 08-13-2001, 09:08 PM

Obviously Never Winter Nights will be out at some point. However, in the interum you can play a BG look a-like ARCANUM from Sierra (saw the pre-order display in CompUSA today - box at least looks good, who knows what game play will be like though).

Moridin · 08-13-2001, 09:47 PM

I've asked myself this question many times since I finished ToB. I haven't really played anything, but will probably go out and get IWD and give that a try. I have also considered going with one of the online CRPG's, anyone have any good suggestions?

What to play after TOB - it's a nice question. I'll wait for some unofficial add-ons/add-ins, since it seems no good RPG will be released soon. Wizardry 8? - who knows when it come out at last. Arcanum? - I didn't like it at all (it may be improved someway when full version will be available, but I doubt that it can help a lot).
So, if someone know anything about any good RPG coming soon - share this information with us, please

I guess I'll finish up with IWD, which I stopped half-way through when ToB came out. I'll finish it up, with HoW and the new expansion, and then prolly play a character through BG and TotSC and BGII and ToB.

I really wanna play Planescape Torment - A LOT!!!!! I can't find it in stores anymore though.

Other than that I'm just waiting for new games to come out on PS2 - Tekken 4, Metal Gear Solid 2, Tony Hawk 3, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance.

Without a doubt, Dungeon Siege. It looks as good as Neverwinter Nights---even BETTER maybe. And comes with an easy Editor so you can make your own Modules!!!

Check out www.dungeonsiege.com and www.planetdungeonsiege.com

Here is a screenshot:

For online:

EVERQUEST at cut above BG series because of infinite possibilities..(make your own armour), (fishing for money), team up with online people...blah
It's hard as you play agianst online veterans. Even +1 stuffs are rare and chain mail you won't see for months. But is REALLY REAL!!!

Icewind Dale is **??!""* worst RPG ever!

storyline " cold...save tree...kill millions undead...cold....kill lizards....kill more stuff....cold again...travel ages...kill final baddie"
Although creating 6 Party members is appealing, it gives 0 interacton! There are altogether 7 villagers and 12 other things that can talk including baddies and a squirrel.

I went with picking up BG1 & TOS (havn't done them yet) - and will take a char. through them all the way to TOB. IWD (at least from the cover) really doesn't do it for me (I'm not much for winter motif). Ive also looked over Wizardry and it didn't seem that great. I did pick up Disciples (for $15) - it was cheap and could be played on Win2k (don't know what game play will be like and I won't even load it in untill I have finishe BG1-TOB). Unfortunetly I don't have the time for online games yet.

For those that havn't done Torment yet I highly recomend it, however it isn't really a game to be played over & over again. (nice thing is that you can get it for $20 US - I've seen it at gamers depot and CompUSA). (trux - I guess its not available on the dark side of the moon.)

Tanada, would you pleas elaborate on what you didn't like about Arcanum and how it compares (or doesn't) to SOA? (nice to know b4 anyone gets the idea of making a purchase.)

Wow Ziroc, nice links! (but like NWN, how soon is soon?) When both are out we all will have to discuss the pros & cons between the 2, choose 1, and formulate a cohesive idea about creating an on line world/domain (maps, history, basic rules & theme) w/ multiple net-connected servers (I've got bandwidth and processor grunt - but not a lot of time for coding development currently).

Wow - Dungeon Siege looks really, REALLY good. Hope the roleplaying will be solid like the graphics are. I'll have to look through those websites for a release date.
