What RPG do you recommend?

Hmmm, they sound wonderful, these games, however, I do not think I will play online games again. It took so much of my time and emotions. It was so hard to quick. I had so nice the character, with riches, the wonderful tudor home I build with my own earnings, and many friends, even a guild. Yet, it was time. I would, however, like to play something on playstation sometime. I was raised, my sisters and I, playing Tomb Raider, with Laura. Sometimes, I will just get up late and go back and play again. It is like visiting the past and an old friend. How many hours my sisters and I spent on the weekend when there was no school playing. Hehe. We talked about her like she was our 5th sister. Hehe.

Has anybody played Lineage II? I saw it on Cybernet last night, it looks great.

[ArkeL]

I would recommend :

1. Morrowind ( the world and the Mods make this game amazing!)
2. Final Fantasy 7,8,9,10,10-2
3. Never Winter Nights (also great in Multiplayer Mode)

yes i have played it, and as an avid MMORPG player i can say it's nothing special, the graphics are great, the dark elf females are very raunchy.

what put me off it tho was that the fighting was abit too static --- *select enemy, hit enemy, kill enemy - repeat.


althogough some ppl like games like that, its not my taste

I see, I was plannin to try out Lineage 2 but ohh well, I'm waiting to try out EverQuest 2 when it comes out looks pretty good!

You wanna play an rpg for real men??? (and women!!) Ultima VII. Now thats an rpg, even in this day and age, the AI and interactivity is unmatched.

My sister just bought the new Laura Croft, Tomb Raider game for the computer. We have been playing that.

I would like to play the new Resident Evil game, but we do not have a playstation two yet. Maybe at christmas.

I don't play often but one of the best RPG games I've encountered is "The Elderscrolls III Morrowind". I tell you, there are hundreds of hours of gameplay in this game. I bought it three years ago, and I admit that although I only play it after long pauses of several months, the versatility and abundance of features in Morrowind is superb.

The only RPG I have completed so far is Gothic. That was a good game I suppose, but it was pretty easy - put in an hour or two of training and you can pretty much clear the game of monsters. I now own Morrowind, which I am sure will be sublime once I get into it properly - anyone got any tips on that?

Runescape is an excellent free MMORPG which I played for ages. Legend of Mir is good too, so I have been informed.

And Grandia for the PS1 an old classic that still holds its own today!

Lacedaemonian, I recently bought Knights of the Old Republic off the discount shelf. I am not big into Star Wars or spacey stuff, but KOTOR was great. Other rpg shooters may have a better interface and better powers, but the story grabbed me! Call me an idiot, but I never saw the big plot twist coming. It floored me! It energized me to... well, I can't say more without spoiling it for you.

The first time through I did not get all of the companions I could have... I, uh, killed one in a lightsaber duel instead of extending an invitation! Doh! I thouroughly enjoyed it, so I had to buy KOTOR 2. They improved the interface and the effects of dark/light choices, but the story did not quite live up to the first. In fact, it sets the stage for another release. A trilogy... I should have known.

Dungeon Siege was also great. It is a lot more action, hack/slash, ala Diablo, but it's party based. So you are concerned with party management and not a clickfest on Devilkins. One of the neatest things is that your character gains xp with every hack/spell/shot and the xp is instantly applied to the powers that you use. So you don't reach level 21 with a bunch of xp to be applied to a spell, skill, or weapon ability. If you swing a sword and crunch something, your skill with a sword and your strength increase. If you cast a fireball and burn a bad guy, your casting ability and your intelligence increase.

I've only played one MMORPG, but City of Heroes rocks! Sure they constantly tweak the game and people complain about content after level 50, but you can role play in it. You can hot key in about 70 different premade sayings that look like the cartoon bubbles of hero speech. It's hilarious and heroic. My nurse often sings "Cause I'm a Blonde." My ex-football player talks smack to everyone. My immortal swordsman learned english by watching a Kurt Russell film festival and all he can say are Russellisms. What I'm saying is that I tailor the story to me... I make it up as I go, I'm not obeying someone else's script.

I think one of the best RPGs I've played and one of the most underrated is Vagrant Story for Playstation. It's darker than most RPGs and you only control one person, but I thought it was amazing. The storyline, while confusing at first, once I realized what all was going on, it was awesome! The music is some of the best of any game i've ever played too. One of the few game soundtracks I've had to actually go out and purchase. Gameplay was fun too - the whole chaining thing was great. You had tohave pretty good hand-eye coordination to do it, but once you practiced a bit and got the hang of it, it was fun. But yeah, that was such an amazing game.

yes, yes and yes - great games all esp Morrowind (which i only stopped playing long enough to sign the divorce papers)

New morrowind coming soon on xbox 360 and PC which looks divine

Also check out Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 - the best star wars games you can get which is not a great recommendation but these really are excellent with great storylines

The best RPG has to be morrowind, the sheer size of the map is immense plus you can put some really cool mods on it like having your own potable mobile base

[kaneda]

You can play baldurs gate 2 without having played the 1st one (but its always best to do things in order ). Really good games.

I would say final fantasy 7 (best rpg ever) or final fantasy X.

Or for the PC divine divinity (amazing rpg in my humble opinion) or beyond divinity (which is by the same people but isn't a sequel to divine divinity). I can't play it on my laptop (because my video card is too old ) but I have played it on my bfs pc, and its great!

Those are my suggestions
