So, judging by the lack of responses, would it be safe to assume that Mass Effect has no actual story? XD I saw a lot of videos about this game and it just reminded me of Knight of the Old Republic I... so I thought I'd ask.
Or is the story no longer a relevant part of RPGs nowadays? Do developers ...

I was just wondering how would you describe the story-line in Mass Effect?

I have not actually played this game, which is why I'm asking for your opinion. But from what I've read, you have your stereotypical protagonist Shepard which doesn't seem to have any interesting background (the Personal ...

What should I focus on, melee combat or force powers? And how does Sneak Attack work?
It's strange that the manual mentiones none of these.

Before I begin I'll say that I never owned a console but I did try it from a friend.

From what I heard on the PC you could have better graphics if your system is strong enough, while on the XBox/PS you're guaranteed maximum performance.
The consoles usually have action games and you can play them ...

Hope you guys don't mind me double-posting but I just need your attention one last time.

Has anybody played Syberia I or II? I was looking for a game like Sanitarium but with better graphics and I think I've found it; I read a lot of good things about them and I was just wondering if anybody played ...

Has anybody played Deus Ex the original and Invisible War? I read some reviews saying they're both thought provoking but lacking in realism and gameplay mechanics... would anybody like to share their opinion on those games?

Thanks, I haven't played a scary game in a long while.

But Baldur's Gate is a big no-no for me. The graphics aren't that great and I really despise the character creation restrictions (only a Human can be a Monk? And only a Human or Half-Elf can be a Druid! Baaah!) from the Adv. D&D rules; I barely ...

Meh, that one is too old. Planescape is also old but it had an awesome stoy, and great graphics (for its time) to make up for it... and usually I prefer RPG's over Adventure games; can't rezist the whole character pesonalization thing... but thanks for suggesting it.

I'm not looking for too much ...

Um... no. More like how humans perceive things (i.e. "Life is an illusion."), good vs. evil, life vs. death, racism, feminism, culture or anything like that. Just about any game that made you think a little about something in life, and not necessarily a game that made you say "Wow, I never expected ...

Planescape: Torment would be a very good example.
I'm just looking for any game (doesn't really have to be an RPG but probably will be) that can stimulate the mind (and not necessarily with a good story). Therefore graphics, sound, gameplay and storyline... all of those don't matter. If anybody ...
