I have recently decided that RPGs are my favourite genre... for a while I thought it was first-persons, but now they're second in my heart. Anyone know of any good RPGs? I've only played these:

Deus Ex
The Fallout series
The Diablo series
The Baldur's gate series
Knights Of The Old Republic

Can someone tell me some really good RPGs I should hunt down and play to completion?

harbinger, arcanum, lionheart (fuck you all).

Was Lionheart good? I never read a review I trusted about it, but from the demo was lame. The setting was awesome from what I read, I loved all the historical tie ins. Just how much role playing does one do?

Diablo and KOTOR are hardly RPGs, at least by my standards. I second Arcanum, and suggest you check out Quest for Glory 1-4

Lionheart sucked. I forget why. Something about terrible combat with the biggest god damn interface ever created.

With each crappy RPG released I'm pushed further and further into the FPS genre.

Find Gothic and Gothic II....Part 1 was just awesome...Part 2 starts where 1 left off, but it's a bit tougher to get into...I still enjoy them both immensely.

I, ahem, "purchased" Lionheart some time ago but there's this wacky error I get every single time I try to install it. I've tried everything on IP's support site and even e-mailed the tech support guys, but with no results. Something about data.dat being corrupted or unpacking incorrectly. Funny thing is that changing to a completely different set of discs doesn't change the situation.

That was enough to kill all my interest in Lionheart: LOTC.

The old Shadowrun game is an amazingly cool CRPG. You can find emulations of it at most decent old games sites.

i never had any problems with lionheart. i liked the story and the combat.

i can honestly say NEVER play morrowind because its a boring piece of shit.

gothic was garbage because my hacked version wouldnt let me pick up or use any items?

That's what you get for not paying for it.....Anyway...The downloaded version of Gothic II I got work great.

As for Gothic I...I paid for it...It's worth it. I can't find Gothic II at any of my local retailers, never could, probably never will.

I don't really consider Diablo, much less Diablo 2 to be RPG's,t hey're just hack and slashers. Console gaming: for classics try Zelda, Final Fantasy series, definately PlanetScape: Torment (I'm gonna reinstall that and play again until I can feeking make FarCry work), I dunno. I enjoyed Xenogears and Xenosaga.

Curiously, i also don't consider Zelda an RPG, even by console standards. Unless we're talking of Zelda 2 for the NES.

By console standards, anything with magic is an RPG.

You've played most of the well known RPGs, theres a couple of indie games that have alot of roleplaying options if you don't mind crappy graphics. Geneforge is one that I played and it was pretty good, if you liked that Geneforge2 is said to be more of the same. Also some codex members liked Prelude to Darkness. All the games are $25 and can be found:

and

Check out the demos to see if you like them first.

Which Shadowrun? SNES or Genesis? I'm more partial to the SNES version.

Canis Lupus · Post by **Canis Lupus** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 2:21 am

Get Neverwinter Nights; it's a good ADnD one. Also, I heard that one of the expansions allows you to go into first-person mode, but I'm not sure whether that's true or not. You just need a half-decent graphics card.

CloudNineGT · Post by **CloudNineGT** » Wed Mar 31, 2004 2:29 am

Do NOT get Neverwinter Nights. Good DnD games involve actually playing DnD.

I prefer the Genesis version myself, but there's not much of a difference. There's also supposedly a computer version out there, but I haven't been able to download it.
