Hi all

I was all ready to come back off holiday and play the enhanced edition of Baldurs Gate when i found out that it has been delayed. This means that i need somthing to entertain me untill november. Can anyone recomend a RPG that is worth playing that i may have missed. Personaly i enjoy one with good a story and without too much hack n slash.

Ones i have played include

Baldurs Gate 1,2 etc
Icewind Dale 1,2
Neverwinter Nights 1,2
The Witcher 1,2
Planescape Torment
Dragon Age: Origins (and 2 although i dont talk about that)
Knights of the Old Republic (1,2 and online)
WOW

Any suggestions?

Have you considered the Deus Ex series? The first is utterly spectacular, and much more emphasis on the story and characters than any sort of hack-and-slash. I've just started the third, but it seems like a solid game as well. Granted, there's more shooter to the series than the games you've listed, but they're still excellent games.

From the list you have given, I would suggest Arcanum (has more of an open world feel), Drakensang: The Dark Eye or River of Time (RoT is much better imo). If you've never played Deus Ex, then I strongly recommend it. I am currently playing Anachronox that has a pretty slow turn based system, but is a lot of fun. Temple of Elemental Evil may also be worth a shot. If you have NWW2 plus both expansion packs, I would recommend playing The Wizards Apprentice Mods - they are among the best RPGs I have played this year.

I second all the recommendations here and add Divine Divinity.
Of course, there's the brilliant Fallout 1 & 2. 3 is mediocre at best, New Vegas is great again.
Also, way underrated, is Alpha Protocol.
Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines is close to brilliant too.
