Hi there people
Haven't played any games in a while,- and, actually, not many at all.
Having played The Prince of Persia, I left the virtual world until someone gave me Fallout I and II. Six months later, I thought there won't be another game like it,- I went through the Baldur's Gates II and stopped again, until I discovered Gothic II.
At this point, I know every blade of grass in GII (and my new videocard isn't compatible with it anyways), I'm bored- and I need and advice.
Whilst awaiting Gothic III- what would you think is a worthy game to waste my time on?
Thanks in advance! |

A bit off topic, but oh well. Recently I played Bard's Tale, and really enjoyed it. It's light on role playing, heavy on action, and really heavy on quirky humour. There's a lot of funny songs in it, too  |

Maybe you should be a bit more specific what kind of RPG you want?

Well, I mentioned what I played before- I guess I know little about video games.
But either real time, or turn-based- Fallout, Baldur's Gate and Gothic are the only three I know |

Did you hear about Knights of the Old Republic? Itīs a Star Wars RPG by Bioware. Sort of a Baldurīs Gate light combined with G2īs quests. Very mainstream. It starts slowly but itīs a very good game.

I've heard of it, but ignored it due to the fact that Star Wars never impressed me. Why? I don't know. Just never liked those movies.
I wish they made The Neverending Story game...
But I'll check it out still- it seems there aren't that many good RPG's around.
Thanks Gorath! |

There are many good RPGs, but theyīre very different and each of them has a lot of personality. This makes it hard to assume a game player A likes is also enjoyable for player B.

Just looked at Top 100 games
Seems like there aren't many recent games that made it to Top 20
Now I understand still more why people are so eager to finally see Gothic 3 and Fallout 3 released. While I hope to check out the former soon, I almost lost my hopes for the latter... |

Fallout 3 is in development at Bethesda (Morrowind, Oblivion).
Our top 100 is manipulated by lots of 1/10 votes. Itīs true that RPGs were deeper in the gold old days, though. Today the budgets are bigger. Thus games have to attract a mainstream audience to earn money.
Good RPGs tend to come in waves. In 2002 we had Gothic (1 &) 2, Morrowind, Divine Divinity, Arx Fatalis and NWN.
2006 will see G3, Oblivion, The Witcher, Hellgate:London, Sacred 2, NWN 2 and a few more.
Do you live in Europe? Play.com has Vampire - Bloodlines for 5.99 GBP shipped.

No, I live in Canada
What do you think of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the shadows of chernobyl?
I read people aticipate it to be Falloutish, but it looks like a shooter to me, judging by their website...
I tried Jugged Alliance 2, but quit half wat through, finding it incredebly hard to stay alive, and not too intriguing.
So, the Vampire worth checking out? |

Sounds very interesting. Russian game, very big budget. Itīs a shooter, maybe with a few RPG elements. The production doesnīt run smoothly.It gets delayed again and again.

Okay, this rules out the tactical turn-based games like Silent Storm.
Still, if you like superheroes you could download the Freedon Force vs the 3rd Reich demo.

I didnīt play it, but I heard itīs good, albeit a bit rushed and unfinished. I wish I had more time for gaming.
Vampire 2 uses the Half Life 2 engine. The team had many Fallout developers in it.
