I have done everything, and I mean EVERYTHING there is to do in BG, BG2, ToB. Now I am positively, absolutely bored with the series. Any other games to recommend for me to play?

IceWind Dale, and the expansion Heart of Winter.

Also, Neverwinter Nights will be awesome too.

Don't forget the free expansion "Trials of the Luremaster" you can download for FREE!

My friend is raving about Arcanum, so you might try that one out. And if you missed out on the Fallout series, well, those too!

A cool old game is Daggerfall. It has cruddy graphics but a lot of freedom to do what you want.

I liked the Thief games too although they are not RPG's.

I agree with the Daggerfall vote!!! Man, what a deep game that was! Never even came close to getting through that one... hmmmmm... I think I have a project for the rest of the summer!!!

Icewind Dale?! Bah, that's the AD&D answer to DiabloII, Fallout II all the way!!

Me too

Did anyone play one of the sequels? If they have better graphics, that would solve the only real drawback the original had.

Xyx,

I never got any of the sequels because they were totally different. Well, at least they sounded sufficiently different that they didn't sound interesting.

Daggerfall was pretty buggy, though....

Buggy it was, but there are numerous 3rd party patches which add quests, bugfixes and a lot of stuff making Daggerfall one of the best roleplaying games ever. If the graphics don't turn you away, you really should try this one out.

You won't regret it.

I fooled around in the big, big world for some time before deciding to advance the storyline. For all my acquired powers (I fooled around quite effectively) I was unable to finish even the first quest... Had to find some painting in the biggest uber-3D maze I have ever seen (and I've seen a lot of those). Turned it inside-out several times; no painting; end of storyline

Daggerfall dungeons was scary - huge mazes twisting and turning. Unfortunally they looked much alike

I finished Daggerfall - but unfortunally nothing chances much in the game after completion - you are allowed to continue playing - but the world has not adapted to you winning the game

Great game though

great games IMO are:
Planescape Torment
Deus-Ex

I've also heard good things about Clive Barker's Undying.....even if it's not a RPG, but more a shooter (first person)

Dungeon Keeper 2! Lotsa different strategies and tactics possible (great replay value) and one of the funniest games I have ever played

It's great to manage monsters and bash adventurers for a change

You can finally do all those things players would lynch their PnP DM for (such as having the monsters win)

Vampire!!! If you are into RPG's then this is a must! Great storyline, classic and, well, a little predictable, but still GREAT. One of those "Maybe I should call in sick tomorrow"-games.

Others are FalloutII, as mentioned above, ThiefII and... hmmm, [Thinking hard] Starcraft (old?-yes, great?-yes,still playable?-yes).

Rune is good game. it has a straight plot but is really fun.
