I'm kinda outdated on new rpg's cause I've frozen myself over Baldurs Gate series...

I need a non top computer needed RPG along with some decent single player history.

And, if possible, a first person shooter too. I got Unreal 2, for last FPS...

Any hint?

Maybe you should tell us which games you already have? Jagged Alliance 2 ( partly RPG, partly strategy - anyway, a great game)? Arcanum? Gothic-Series?

I'd be interested in a good RPG also, but I guess I'm mostly just waiting for the new ones to come out.

As for FPS ... well Farcry is rather decent to blow away some time on.

Painkiller kicks peanut-cakes as well.

@Monolith: BG series, IWD series, NWN non expansions, Fallout 1 & 2, Ultima IX (yeah, I know it is bad). FPS: Unreal, UT, U2, Q1,2,3... lots.

If you haven't played it - Morrowind might be worth a try for you. I've even thought about starting it again, just because I lack RPGs to play

If you can find a copy, as far as a great story-based RPG goes I'd highly recommend Planescape Torment! It has an in-depth story that explores the complexity of the 'human' spirit in a way I've never before seen an RPG do... one of the most amazing games I have ever played...

Holy cow, I've had that forever, and I haven't had the will to play it, maybe I'll fire it up! O.O

play it. now. really. now. stop whatever you're doing. play it. go.

Well, when you finally get the will up to play it, you'll find that you won't have the will to stop playing it.

Nope, a problem arose, I can't find it. =P

If you haven't played Planescape Torment yet, do it NOW.

I have PS:T and haven't finished it.... never quite did get a grip on me for some reason.

[QUOTE=Xandax]I have PS:T and haven't finished it.... never quite did get a grip on me for some reason.[/QUOTE]I found the initial part a bit slow going, but the story really grabbed me around the time I added a certain Tiefling to my party, and found the journal.

The game evokes a finely-crafted, multi-textured novel in which the plot and purpose are not immediately apparent, but as the threads gradually begin to weave together the reader is inexorably drawn in.

Planescape: Torment. No question. Easily the deepest, best written, least cliched, most affecting CRPG yet to be made. Well, IMHO.

Hmmm - maybe I should boot up PS:T once more ... I'm terrible bored, and have nothing to play. But I have tried to get into the game twice already

Otherwise it would likely just be (yet) another trip through BG2 and/or NwN ... not like I don't know thoese games inside out by now. (heck - can answer a great number of NwN gameplay issues from memory by now )

@Xan,
Well I'm currently hopping between IWD 2 (again) and SoA (again), along with playing Morrowind for the first time

Actually, this run through SoA is probably the most fun I've ever had. I have an all girl party of mostly spellcasters, and it's a serious blast... literally Basically, if you take a themed approach it forces you to adopt a lot of tactics you might not have previously employed so it is almost like playing the game for the first time!

I'm planning on getting Knights of the Old Republic soon and playing that....though I don't know if my PC can run it...

Well - after a large number of replays, I simply think it is time to let BG2 and NwN die from my "active" game list, and go for something else alltogether

But maybe I should throw myself over Morrowind again - didn't finish that either, because my character go so insanely powerfull so early that the game hold little challenge for me.

Xandax: have you played any modules for NWN yet? There are a few really good one out there. I highly recommend the Paladin series (even though it's not completed yet).

I'm still considering whether or not to get Knights of the Old Republic - although I'll have to upgrade my computer to run it smoothly. Currently playing through BG1 - haven't played this for a few years.
