I suggest TES IV: Oblivion or TES: III Morrowind but it's a bit older. | ||

With a little tweaking you'll be able to play the ENTIRE serie as one game, with the graphics of bg2 (which although old are quite nice). And you can set the difficulty from "olol² ez" to "i throw my comp through a window" Plus the plot is one of the greatest ever. If you've never played it, it's a classic. if you're interested in how the game can be modified, PM me. | ||

Oblivion kept all of the flaws that Morrowind had, removed much of its greatness, added some stupid shit like leveled gear and random bandits with daedric equipment and then had ~three voice actors voice every npc in the game. | ||

But if you were really hardcore you'd play roguelike games such as Angband. | ||

For example, upgrade sniper rifle and just kill everything before they even notice you are there. You need to play Deus Ex with handicaps like crow bars only or no upgrades. | ||

Not really a full fledged RPG, but it has some RPG elements in there. Just make sure to crank the damage sliders to "Normal" which is the hardest. | ||

The beginning when you have shitty weapons, no ammo and poor skills isn't that easy. | ||

Most of my experiences come from consoles, PC's rpgs appear to be more difficult, like Baldur's Gate, Morrowind, Ultima series, etc. I heard the Might & Magic series can be quite difficult if you can stay away from the exploits. A game you haven't played but that's quite easy is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Just AMAZING. And, finally, in the turn-based strategy games (you played X-Com, the best there is) you can try Jagged Alliance and Mission Force: Cyberstorm (a personal favorite of mine, buy mechs, customize them, clone a pilot and drug him! Ah, the joys of gaming before the political correctness squad ever existed) . I also heard nice things about Master of Magic. On May 12 2010 06:46 Tump wrote: You can still play some of the Final Fantasy games with a "challenge." I.e. no Magic, no inns, etc etc. There's several "challeneges" out there that make them much more fun/challenging. GL HF ^^ I do this all the time, Phantasy Star IV without using inns, Skies of Arcadia without buying equipment, etc. If you look at Realms Beyond Diablo that are tons of these "challenges", some silly and some are really interesting, like the Amazon and Gothic for Diablo 1. Final Fantasy Tactics fit in this too. On May 12 2010 07:07 Reno(TE) wrote: Try psp game FFVII: Crisis core on hard mode. Some points are a joke! I tried that, it wasn't really difficult but boring. Enemies had tons of HP but that's that. | ||

So difficult Someone said oblivion before... with the difficulty slider all the way up and a few difficulty increasing mods it can be really hard. | ||

Try like... the Etrian Odyssey games for the DS. Those were good times for me. Brought back a lot of memories. Decently challenging, especially if you don't allow yourself to use Immunize. | ||

Exile 1,2,3,4. (very simple games but are fairly hard and have an amazing storyline). Arcanum. (Troika makes THE best freeform do what you want games also look up Bloodlines the masquerade, forget about temple of elemental evil its bad and very small). Icewind Dale 1,2 (Faerûn world same as BG1,2 - NWN 1,2). Sacred 1,2. ( Diablo clone that has a HUGE world atleast 20x bigger than Diablo 2 with very similar graphics, number 2 is huge with really good graphics). Magic & Mayhem. (Different style of rpg but summoning minions is always fun, really hard puzzles) You can download emulators for the PC, Get a snes one and get, Chrono's Trigger, Breath of Fire 1,2,3, Lufia 1,2, Secret of mana and Secret of Evermore, and a fair few others i cant think of sorry. | ||

Deus Ex is easy on realistic because the people that play on realistic are those who completed the game (usually more than once) and have a good understanding of whats going on and whats going to happen. If you played through on realistic the first time round, I reckon you'd have had a tough time with it. | ||
