I need an RPG

[Wombat]

So, I've been bored with my computer, and realized that I haven't played a good RPG in a while. The Final Fantasy series, Arcana, Dragon Warror, etc.

What should I play? And where can I find it?

Have you tried Baldus Gate ? www.baldursgate.com

Yeah, the Baldur's Gate series is quite good. The battle enging is quite differant from tradtional RPGs so it takes some getting used to however.

[Guru]

I recomend starting with Baldurs Gate 1 and Tales of the swords coast! That way you will enjoy Baldurs Gate 2 more!

How bout Final Fantasy 8? The cut scenes make this game special. And they're higher res than on the PSX versions.

And the gameplay itself aint' bad, good story.

[vanguardian1]

It depends on what kind of RPG's you like. I love a lot of RPG's but Baulder's Gate never caught my interest (Nor anything that's like D&D).

If you like Zelda type Rpg's, try Silver (for PC).
Final Fantasy 7 is great, 8 is ok, 9 (I'm almost to the end, on the last disc) is pretty good also.
My fav RPG's are Final Fantasy Tactics and Xenogears. Fighting the Demon of Elru (Xenogears) is something else, I'll tell ya...

2 very good rpgs will have to be Fallout 2, and Planescape Torment. These are without a doubt the games Ive ever played - highly recommendable.

[TiG]

I would have to agree with Grego, those are two of the best games ever in my opinion.
Good examples of a brilliant story and character development making up for graphical whizz-bangerey.

Also have a look at Deus Ex and System Shock 2, if you like a futuristic feel.

if you want to really get into a game, play planescape torment. it has quite a lot of text to read, but it was the best game i played since jedi-knight, and the first game i played through since jedi knight as well.

[kewlcat]

I know you like FPSs as well, so how about Deus Ex? Kickass combo of role-playing and action.

Imbeciles! *whip* *whip* The best computer based roleplaying game ever was Wasteland on the C64. Fallout is only a whimpy copy of this devine game and it's still the best the PC has to offer. If it must be fantasy play Knights of Legend! Do it. Do it now!

Argh! My intellect is far superior to yours. I will you to oblivion! Argh!

[Six Of One]

Argh! I will you to read about Wasteland at

Of course you need a C64 emulator. Argh! Do it. Do it now. You Imbeciles. Argh!

"Six of One"?

As in the sex android from "Tripping the Rift"?

Listen up, you primitive screwheads! See this? This is my BOOMSTICK! Etc. etc.

Hey Gurm, sadly i don't know the movie (it is a movie? please...), but being a sex android sounds interesting. Actually it's more "6 of 1, half a dozen of the other"

The Shizoid Man

C64 ehh? What about Ultima 1-5 and Legacy of the Ancients? Zork 1 - 3...

My favorite RPG's happen to be on the Super Nintendo...ChronoTrigger, FF3, etc...

...I come from a time when the C-64 Scene was the sh*t lol...God, I must have had like 3000+ disks full of stuff.... Ohh how I miss those times, but a good emulator makes me feel at home
