Games People Play Games People Play is where to discuss personal computer, video game console, and arcade hardware and software - be it RPG, Sim, Strategy, Fighting, Action/Platform, or any other category. Although discussion of modern platforms/software will most likely dominate, discussion of classic videogame/computer hardware and software is always enjoyable, and certainly welcome - ESPECIALLY since there are public domain/shareware emulators of nearly every older computer/console available these days. Here's a taste of what awaits you: Nintendo-vs-Sega-vs-Sony, Console-vs-PC-vs-Mac, Hardware spec sheets/information, Industry news and discussion, Software reviews, IRC conference announcements/Reports, Emulators, Emulators, Emulators! ... and much, much more!

Default Need More RPGs

I'm running out of RPGs on my computer, anyone wanna suggest some good ones?

Old and new alike, and I'd prefer a deep story oriented one, not Diablo hack and slash. Actually if anyone knows any games similar to the fisrt two Fallout games I'd appreciate it.

I really enjoyed Evil Islands has a nice storyline, very good gameplay, etc.

hm, other than that, I don't rpg much on pc, tend to stick to consoles.. have you tried grandia II though?.. very good storyline, somewhat too easy is it's only flaw..

You haven't mentioned what games you've played on your PC, but I can still recommend a few for you. If you're looking for some games with more emphasis on storyline, rather than character development/hack and slash, you should try Anachronox, Septera Core, or Deus Ex. Yes, I know that is a first person shooter, but it does have an actual plot behind it other than the lines of something like: "I see bad things, let's shoot them." It also lets you develop your character the way you want him to be. This sort of classifies it as a first person/action RPG. Arcanium is good too if you haven't tried it, also FFVII if you don't have a PS.

Well fuck Fallout2 is the best game ever and arcanum is preetx similar divine divinity is coming out it and it should be a mix of options of dialogs that fallout 2 offered and baldurs gate 2 dungeon siege is nice but easy and not really story oriented freedom force has some rpg elements and everyvody says that morrowind is great but i haven't tried it yet

i gotta a question. of course you all have heard of everquest, asherons call and other mmrpg. i love these games but i am to cheap to pay for them. i used to play this game called runescape all the time, it's on the net, and it was fun and everything until they introduced a pay for play version an dnow they haven't updated the free veriosn so i quit that.but like i was syaing i want to play a game like that but i want one without monthly fee's. i saw a game in best buy called ultima online it looked pretty sweet but i don't know if you have to pay for it or not.

If you a fan of pen and paper d&d you would like neverwinter nights, its a great game, and REALLY customizable. Plus the original storyline takes forever to beat .

If you want the ripped version... www.warezfamily.com , but its worth buying, and you can go online if u buy it .

I think your talking about the MMORPG Fallout, ya they stoped that pretty fast. But there is an online Fallout (Fallout Tactics) mostly CTF, DeathMatch, Team Death Match (note this is an offshoot of the true fallout games, it is sorta the same way of being played but its not turn based, like PoR vs NWN) this is only a mode, there mainly is a single player.

If you're into the sleepless nights thing...try some old text games. Maybe some old Apple II adventure games. Those keep you busy for days...
