I need RPG help.

Navaron · 2003-07-12, 10:18 AM

I've got a hankering for a RPG.

I have an XBOX and of course a PC.

I need a good RPG, with a good story, and good combat.

I'd buy SWG, but I don't want to. I'm not ready to pay for another game (especially that one...6mo's from now and I'll be considering it.)

I don't like wizards and magic spells too much.

I don't want something that's a time hog, I just want something to play when I'm not playing PS.

I'll take a good game on either platform. Help me out guys!

Great RPG for XBOX (that's an oxymoron isn't it?)

Great RPG for PC

For PC I'd recommend Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. It has magic and stuff, but you don't need to use it much, unless you want to. Morrowind isn't online, sadly, but that game is ****ing awesome. You could also get that collectors edition for XBox, it has Morrowind and the expansions, but you don't get the added bonus of plugins (mods). Mods are still being made for it and it has a strong following. If not that, hmm... I dunno. If you're good with electronics, you could probably buy a Final Fantasy game and illegally port it to your PC or XBox, I dunno.

Shit, I meant to say I already had morrowind. Thanks though.

Fallout 1 and 2

Best RPG's for PC ever.

Try SimCity4, good control game for you.

Try Planescape: Torment, it's a single player only RPG that runs on the Infinity engine ala BG. It has magic and stuff, but if you want an RPG with a great story set in a great, unique universe, you would be shooting yourself in the foot if you missed it.

WASTELAND! (EA 1988)

WTF wrong with all ya all?!?!?!?

Navaron · 2003-07-12, 11:55 AM

Yeah I love the fallout games, I can't wait for that new one from them (with the alternate history from the crusades). I'll have to look up Planescape: Torment. Keep em coming!

Then, if you don't mind D&D base, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale series are great, and then Neverwinter Nights.
Then...let's see...*ruffles around computer desk*
FFVII for PC, but who hasn't played that?
Fallout Tactics is good, but not near as RPGish as the first two.
Black and White (Kind of an RPG/strategy mix where you're a god. Lower case, like Dio.)
Homeworld (Again, mix. But this is space with full 3D movement, the map is a sphere, and I don't know if it actually has a boundry. Just started playing it again a few days ago.)
One I haven't even heard anything of yet but I wanted to check it out was Freelancer, but I really don't know about that one, I need to get a demo.
And that's all I can think about after being up for thirty-six hours and brooding about the long day ahead of me.

Shadow Hearts is also a good RPG

Revolution · 2003-07-12, 12:25 PM

Ultima 4, now freeware thanks to Origin.............

The RPG that started RPG's!

JonnyK · 2003-07-12, 12:32 PM

get star wars: Knights of the old republic for XBOX, i think it's released already, or it will very very soon. but that looks like a very nice game, and it's brand new. that's my suggestion

I really liked Arcanum, the setting of the game was great. That is probably my favorite, but the whole Baldurs Gate series rules too.
