There are a good number of RPG's out there.

Bards Tale is hilarious, but not sure I'd call that a true RPG...
Fable
Dungeon Lords

Many are crossing the RPG - Diablo Clone line though, true RPG's are becoming harder and harder to find.

Now if you like the MMO RPG's, there's MANY out there, and many more coming soon.
Asheron's Call has a major update coming
Asheron's Call 2 has a new expansion coming
Everquest 2 (my current favorite)
Guild Wars
Matrix

As for the other game genre's I can't stand them, only play RPG's and MMORPGS Smile

Dont go and be forgetting about Neverwinter Nights and the 2 official expansion for the game!

Not to mention all of the other worlds and mods that have been done!

I totally lost a goodly chunk of my life in Baldur's Gate, and then a larger chunk in NWN.

I played Dungeon Siege hard too! Especially after we had the seceret chicken level access down pat!

Incredible loot that those plucky poultry would drop when dead!

Let's also not forget the forthcoming Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.

As for recent RPGs, I just finished playing through Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and it was pretty damn good! I'm going to play through it again as a different type of vampire, just to try out some of the other abilities in the game. With an effort like this, it's a damn shame Troika couldn't get another publisher on board before they had to fold.

I'm very familiar with console RPG games, and there are MANY of which I would recommend to play.

If anyone is interested, here are a few titles that I loved:

Final Fantasy Tactics >> PSX
Final Fantasy 6 (3 in US version) >> SNES
Final Fantasy 7 >> PSX
Final Fantasy 2 in US version... I think that's 4 in Japanese >> SNES
Secret of Evermore >> SNES
Lufia 2 >> SNES

ROMs for most of these titles could easily be found, so have fun!

Those are the ones that immidiately come to mind, so they would be considered by me to be the best ones to "waste" a couple hundred cumulative hours on Wink

I think I'm gonna try Vampire: Masquerade, perhaps nwn too... I got sacred Plus a while back... Not too bad, but really doesn't rate in terms of rpg - character development...

Anyone heard of Omega? basically it's an OLD (shareware) ASCII game (much like Nethack), but the really cool thing about it was that characters had no set limitations or skills until they joined guilds and train... I'd really like to see a model like that in the newer Diablo-Clone style games, where every character is just a blank mould and you train them and develop them whichever way...

Anyway, great feedback I've got me some titles to peruse....

For those of you who like a lot of those old school games, I would like to share a website with you.

www.abandonia.com

The website has at least 100 downloadable games. Many are DOS, where most of us have to download another program to properly run them - DOSBOX v0.63 - but they have several awesome games, such as the X-COM series, and Syndicate series.

Anyone with a serious interest with games should at least check it out. Have fun Wink
