[The Fifth Horseman]

And Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines I had that a little while on my Comp and since it lagged a lot on that I don´t think it´s a choice for me now... Though it´s a very intresting game.

Lagged on mine a lot too. Which didn't prevent me from finishing it twice
There are some tweaks that improve its performance, BTW.

OK well im just about to take on "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura"... one game i loved but had problems playing whas Shadows over riva... Great game but i had problems with it since i couldn´t make it past the scen when i whas led by the people in the water to their town, I whas not able to get past it with Dosbox or in simple windows XP...(I played it in bouth, it whas so slow in Dosbox since i only had a 450 mhz comp, and the movies didn´t work without Dosbox.) does anyone know a game simmilar to the "realms of arcadia" series? preferably more modern...
Always a pleasure to get hepled by you "Fifth Horseman".

PEACE

It's a bit of a mixture of genres, but I'm momentarily captivated by Overlord, which is fun. It was definitely worth the 10 euros, but that was a temporary Steam offer I'm afraid. Sacred is a good game too, actually played that one before I tried Diablo 2.

And then there is Baldurs Gate and its sequels (which I need to continue playing one of these days), and Jade Empire is pretty good as well

Planscape: Torment is great, too (but not very Diablo like). Another game that you can probably get for a few bucks is Dungeon Siege. The game itself is crap (well, you might like it if you liked Diablo, it is very combat heavy), but there is an incredible good Ultima V port for the engine. Easily worth the 5€ I spend for the game

The best RPG I EVER(!) played was Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge. There's no game that even remotely immersed me as deeply and completely in story and atmosphere as Bane. If u finish the game using only one mook char u will ascend to nirvana on the spot.
anyway: best. rpg. ever.

Hm, I personally found VtM: Bloodlines a more-less crappy game. My recommendation is Morrowind, weird that noone else mentioned it yet, maybe it is first-person, but it's deep enough for the likes of Diablo and etc.

Talking about a game like Diablo and Fallout is a lil' contradiction. One is pure hack and slash, the other almost pure P&P RPG. But, if you say you want to dip yourself into something more than H&S I would strongly recommend to check other of Black Isle titles like Icewind Dale saga or Baldur's Gate saga (which I recently added to my collection for merely 10 bucks), not mentioning one of my favourites - Planescape: Torment. Also, I haven't played those but heard positive reviews on Temple of Elemental Evil from Troika (using AD&D system) and Lionheart: Legacy of the Crusader from Interplay (which utilizes SPECIAL system known from Fallout), although those two games are from around 2003. If you prefer turn based combat over real-time one, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor would be a perfect choice (Forgotten Realms), or the game I found quite entertaining despite it simplicity - Ascension to the Throne.

This is someone who understands the needs of this guy

thi game is endless besides the main quest you got plenty of sidequest's walking around and i dont now what more, if you , after 200hours of playing, getting borred, just sheck on the web for add ons!!!(I did never do it but a cheating loving "friend" did an he played it for an other 200 hours(i gues))

after that its time to get an othet laptop for... oblivian!!
after morowind you will enjoy ths game the grapics are beautiful and this is the same general idee after a long lively time of gameplay just put some ad-ons to it and run it again
altough this game is shorter(i think) (because of the traveling system??)but still a lot of fun...

this ads a question to the story... is there a map add-on for this game??

if there is.. add this later after you get borred or so...
after eeeh 150 houres??
i did play the game for over 300 houres now maybe much more.....

also i recoment Neverwinter nights, but do not try neverwinter nights 2, it is noet worth your time..believe me

i these dayes i quit gaming endles nighs...
less time more "things to do" bleeh

i hope u are happy with the info

Any Bioware/Black Isle game is good. Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights. If you want to go really old school, you should check out rpgs by SSI or Might & Magic, Bard's Tale, Ultima, Legend of Blacksilver.
