Ok, I'm still on my quest to find a good game to play until NWN comes out. I have BG, BG2, ToB, and IWD. I would like to stick with fantasy/RPG since my Rainbow Six trial was a bust. Anybody recommend and good games with above average graphics and a good storyline? A 3D game would be a plus. Thanks in advance! [img]smile.gif[/img]


PS: I have my eye on Arcanum but since the demo is about 254mb I'm not about to try to download that, has anyone here played it? What did you think?

Hmm, Fallout, Fallout 2 are Fantasy, but they're Futurific Fantasy, not past fantasy [img]tongue.gif[/img] . Well, i spose you could try Diablo 2, but i doubt you'll like it. Unreal Tournament is a VERY good game, but its a FPS so i doubt that fits...well, im guessin ur S.O.L until NWN comes out, unless you wanna D/L Arcanum...You could just leave your comp on all nite

If you want a 3D game, you could do far worse than Wizardry 8. It's good, turn-based 3D fun with a party of six whom you create (plus up to two NPCs you can add). Check it out at www.sir-tech.com.

Another game you might consider is the virtually unknown King of Dragon Pass, a CRPG/strategy hybrid with over 650 plots, some of which occur in any given game. It can be found at http://www.a-sharp.com/

Wizardry 8: The prime recommendation !! [img]graemlins/nicekitty.gif[/img]
Wizards and Warriors: not too bad but nowhere near as good as Wiz 8

You could also try any of these:

System Shock 2 - supurb atmospheric SF CRPG, with excellent attention to detail, and a first class plot.
Deux Ex - more of first person shooter, but with RPG elements.
Anachronox ( Slightly strange CPRG, but lots of fun )

*Adds edit*
Hmm, just noted that except for the top 2, they all are more SF that Fantasy. Ah, well, they are all fine games anyway !!

Try Darkstone-it's simple, addictive, cheap and 3D.

I was wondering the same thing! I really would love to try that game, it sounds awesome!
But like you, I cannot find it anywhere in Holland, and amazon.co.uk doesn't have it either.
They do sell it on amazon.com but I only order from there sporadically - it's much too expensive.
