Anyone RP?

For something different for the war-gaming group I frequent, I have promised to do a rpg. So I am planning a Call of Cthulhu game, if it successful maybe a campaign.

For me the epic of all time for RPG's is the recently released game Dragon Age: Origins from Bioware. They developed all of the lore for it, its not based on D&D or any other game except they say it is the "spiritual" successor to their highly aclaimed Baldur's gate series and after one playthrough as an elven rogue I would whole heartedly agree with that statement. It is a single player game however they have an social site you can join once you have he game registered and there they have the usual good Bioware forums for the DA game along with other things that will keep track of you characters progress through the game if you are logged on as you play. Other players can also view your online story and achievements and photos of your character in game and character portraits. Also for the DLC content you have to be logged in there for it to work that is one thing that kind of bugs me however Bioware usually once a game has run its course for them takes that type of requirement out and lets you play online or off. That could be down the road after the series has been out a while, who knows.

I'm interested in this game, it looks great. I'm a little concerned that my graphics card may not be up to it. (I've forgotten how good it is I put it in to play Titan's Quest). I saw that this isn't real "power intensive" but my computer is a little older. Is this played 3rd person like the BG series?

Dragon Age is sooooo fun, really extremely well written story. Anyway, I`m waiting for the Elder Scrolls V to be released. Totally fell in love with Oblivion (Elder Scrolls IV), one of most beatiful rpgs I ever played. Fallout was also really, really good, but personally I found it extremely despressing (the in game environment is too gray and messed up) but none the less, I played through the game and it`s expansions, really worth it.

Actually it is a lot like BG, so yes

I started to get it and then saw it calls for a dual core processor and I'm still in the "dark ages" with a Pent.4. I'll have to check to see if I can run it or if my computer can be up graded.... Oh well. I can't replace my computer anytime soon, so.... I'll have to see.
