Alone in the dark 4 – it still puzzle/horror in style of Resident Evil (i.e. less for horror and puzzles, more for kills).

Arcanum of ...– good RPG in vein (and from authors) of Fallout and Fallout: New Vegas. Battle system is quite cripples, but it more than covers it with quest system, vast world and tons of interactions.

Planescape Torment – the best realization of pen-and-paper RPG that I know. Lot of text, lot of choices, occasional combats and totally unusual protagonist and plot in whole. My choice... but I am exactly in _this_ field of games.

Might and Magic 9 – it's not exactly M&M in terms of universe, diversity and plot. Still can be enjoyable, I suppose.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver – metroidvania with extensive plot. I.e., gameplay is "explore level, gain a lot of knowledge by the way, find the boss, kill him and receive new cool ability that will allow you to enter next zone and also found several secrets at the old ones".

Choose yourself!

P.S. Did you try System Shock? It's semi-shooter/semi-puzzle/RPG at the space station with huge levels and several puzzles. Can be tuned to be less puzzled (or less action) or go just opposite. Highly recommended.

Spacibo,
dear SS,
for Yr time and help.
I know how busy are all of You.
Thank You for excellent preview.

OK,
tossing a coin will solve the problem:
Doom 3 versus Planetscape
Me?
I hope to be Doom 3, mates.
I will manage this tossing tomorrow.
And will advise You.


My excuses to nice Admin for bunch of posts now.

Sprinkle my head with sand
i
the poor one.

Planescape is long and hard if you play it right.
If you only play it to play it through once, it is very easy. Everyone can talk, most enemies are lvl 1 zombies, and even the hard enemies which you actually have to kill are at worst medium hard. And if I remember right, all bosses are clvl-related. Not to mention the central quests are very few (find Pharod, find the Globe, find the journal, pass some planes, kill boss).

The fun part is when you realise you speak with the letter O, or when you meet a guy who tells you how did he survived on the Negative Plane: "Nothing can beat nothing. So I kept nothing in my hand."

Or this event:

"Nordom: if you have a story to trade, please share it with Yves."

Nordom: "In the 13.7th Revolution, we were required to fix gear and cog sub-set thirty-one in the fifth ring of Mechanus. We removed the obstruction and the gear turned as per its normal speed. Upon completing our task, we were then returned to the Source."

Morte: "What in the hells was that, you stupid polygon?! That's the most boring story I ever heard!"

Nordom: "It was what took place. With embellishments, of course."

Morte: "Embellishments?"

Nordom: "I thought the return to Source was a particularly fitting image to close the tale."

Ha ha ha,
The conversation between Morte and Nordom is similar
to the one in my favorite book "Alice in the wonderland":

Chapter VII: A MAD TEA-PARTY
Quotation:
..Take some more tea, the March Hare said to Alice,
very earnestly.
.I"ve had nothing yet, Alice replied in an offended tone, so i cant take more..

But my lovely moment is when smoking Caterpillar said to Alice:
-Repeat You are old, Father William-

Hey, start instead Might and Magic 9, pls.
Yesterday I tried to run it, but I had severe headache, and loading-problems. I'd be glad if I could hear about it from someone at least if I'll get permanently stuck which is highly likely

But for Planescape either way: start with at least 12 charisma, ok?
