So I want to play a new game on my PC, preferrably an RPG or a similar game. I was thinking of Titan Quest, Icewind dale 1 and 2, Knights of the old republic, D&D temple of elemental evil etc.

Any other ideas? I don't think Fallout is my cup of tea. Also I've played through Baldurs gate 1 and 2, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion.

Neverwinter Nights HoU ? Its just as addictive as BG even thou one may argue its not as good

Titan Quest is ok but I liked more Dungeon Siege 2 from the same year. My recommendation will be Fable: Lost Chapters. Even thou its really flawed as a game I loved the OST the atmosphere and the overall mood - its just really relaxing to play this game

Since youve played Baldurs gate 1&2, play its spiritual successor Dragon Age.
Very good game

If you're looking for a change, try Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


It's really one of the greatest RPGs ever made, but it's constantly overlooked due to the crazy amount of bugs it had upon release.

Thankfully the community has fixed everything. So if you decide to play it, you really need the unofficial community patch found at

Have you tried Planescape: Torment? If you liked Baldur's Gate, you'll most likely like this one as well. It has an some interesting additions and a good story, some of the quests are a bit more... complicated.

Actually I'm not too fond of the 3d graphic, tends to make me nauseous after playing for a while. My fav game is probably Baldur's gate of the above mentioned. Oblivion was pretty awesome though

I tried Dragon Age and for some reason I didn't really like it. Maybe it's because you play through the game with all the different characters which seems boring to me.

KOTOR is an option but I'm not too into 3D RPG:s

Planescape: torment might be an option. Is there any fighting at all though?


Oh, I should mention I'm on a Pentium 4, 3 ghz with 512 mb graphics and 2 gigs ram.

It sounds like you prefer older games, I suggest Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, or Grim Fandango

Dragon Age Origins looks amazing, only heard good things but never played it myself.

Whenever someone asks for RPG tips, I say [i]Gothic[i]. All three of them. And Risen, which is basically more of the same.

That's actually a kick ass idea. I started playing it like a year ago but forgot about it, woot!

Oh wait, I mean Zelda 3 for SNES.


Russian guy, thanks for that list of RPG games. Now I just have to choose a game....I really like the atmosphere of the D&D games and I prefer fantasy over science fiction.

I've tried playing Torment at least 10 times due to feedback such as yours. Unfortunately I just cannot deal with reading all that dialogue. A few days after reinstalling I will just not play any more. I guess I've been spoiled by the 100% voice acted dialogue of newer RPGs =(

Since you're looking for PC games. I would recommend Morrowind, the story to me seemed a lot more interesting (Than Oblivion).

Dragon Age is also a really nice RPG that came out within the last year I believe, I couldn't stop playing this after it first came out.

Torchlight is a really fun solo rpg made by, I think two of the guys that made diablo 2(maybe 1). It's a dungeon crawler but the graphics, story, and gameplay make it pretty fun. I got mine for cheap during the steam Christmas sale.

Dungeon siege is an older game, it's story lies in its single player. Has a great soundtrack, and if you have some people to play with can be really fun.

Mass Effect is more of a futuristic RPG, since it takes place in space. It really plays on the aspects of good and evil and the decisions you make directly effect the outcome of scenarios in the game. Sadly, the game is rather short. I also found it kind of easy. (Might have just been playing on an easy setting tho) I have not tried Mass Effect 2.

NeverWinter Nights I remember being pretty fun. I think I played a lot of it multiplayer though. On the other hand I never really got into NWN2.

The Last Remnant was a really fun tactical JRPG.

Games I recommend you stay away from:

Two Worlds:Gameplay was very stale. The movement and controls in it made me really dislike it.

Gothic 3: Unless there are community patches there is a huge flaw in this game, a glitch even. You can evenly fight against orcs and humans. When it comes to wolves on the other hand, there is a glitch. They seem to be able to just constantly attack you without you really being able to do anything. Which is a real bitch once the wolves start getting stronger. The game had a good Soundtrack and I really enjoyed it until those damn wolves.

Hmm funny, I can't stand listening to voice acted dialogue in the long run and prefer reading for myself since it's quicker. I love a good story as much as anyone else, but there has to be alot of fighting too. IMO Baldur's gate comes close to perfection with this in mind.
