I'm a big fan of Morrowind because of it's size and variety, but absolutely hate paying monthly dues for games like Everquest and World of Warcraft. Lately, I've been reading up on Guild Wars and Dungeon Seige II to tide me over until Oblivion comes out (what is it back to now? March I heard...). Also, something.. London ... Hellgate I think... Hellgate London? Anyways, I heard that's coming out that's supposed to be like a Diablo II for today's age.
Problem is, I'm picky.  The thing I loved about RPGs back in the age were unlimed online character creation, free servers, FREE ONLINE PLAY, and you were only limited to level 99 (which hardly anyone made it up to thanks to the logrithmic scale of XP)... of course I'm talking about Diablo II. But of the RPGs I'm looking into that don't require you to continually paying monthly fees just to play, you're either limited to level 20 (tops! wtf! <Guild Wars> ) or isn't that popular to start with ( <Dungeon Seige II> ). I most definately plan to get Oblivion, but I need something to tide me over until then. So what's my best bet? Thanks |

Actually I don't really know... I had played diablo for a short time... But I game only on ps2. The only RPG's on the ps2 I like are turn-based... so I can't help you with this.
and don't mind. Everyone is a little bit picky. I'm sure you'll find your game

Never really caught onto the whole turn-based genre of FF or those other japanese games. I guess it's the middleground between my FPS and RPG loves. Need that real-time action to maintain consciousness  I've never actually had a console game. I think the closest thing to consoles would have to be the origional gameboy I bought from a friend. Y'know, that big beige/grey box thing. lol I feel so old. Regardless, I'm inclined to get the Xbox 360 seeing reviews on the graphics output by this thing! too bad there's some hardware flaw with them. 2/3 friends had to RMA theirs'. But I'm getting offtopic here...

I don't usually play RPGs in PC, only 2 games till now: Septerra Core and Grandia 2. They are great for me, but maybe not for PC-game lovers...

All the Baldur's Gate's would be very good. Or Guild Wars, which is like Diablo II.
Also, you can't forget about all the Pay-Per-Month RPGs, which I hear are very good. Personally, I don't want to pay-per-month, but it may be something to look in to. World of Warcraft looks pretty sweet when I saw a friend play it... |

I played baldur's gate on the... PS2 I think... maybe xbox... anyways, it was a while ago. I'd pick that up but I was hopign for something newer. I walked through the game aisle at the local walmart (I KNOW ITS NOT THE PLACE TO SHOP FOR GAMES) and was looking into Guild Wars II. Looks like a buldur's gate mix with some WoW teamplay. Seems ok. Free online play, etc, etc. Black and White got great reviews online... but you make and nuture a creature and then it fights your battles? seems a bit too much like one of those DS minigames to dish $40 for. I picked up COD2 just because I hate going to a store and leaving with nothing, gonna try that out. Maybe it'll last me until March (hA! right!)
I will check out Spells of Gold and Grandia 2, maybe read more into Guild Wars to see if I can balance out the max-out at lvl20 with something good. I'll keep you guys updated. and thanks again! |

Theres this really cool free Rpg that just came out, though its in spanish, the concept is really good. It appears that when your character reaches a certain level he can pick a god from the prehispanic era. Right now the gods are the mayan, the incan and the Aztec. Its still in beta, but its fully playable and it really is fun, though I recommend you learn spanish or just post here for help, and I can help, I dont play much because of my job, but sometimes I play like at 1 am whenever I have a chance.
Oh, almost forgot.. Lol. The game is called Imperio. the link is: www.imperioonline.com the download is like 400 megabytes, but its well worth it. |
