abandonia... awesome site... Running dosbox now... I'm also looking up Masters of Magic... Old (great) dos strategy game, with the drawback of requiring about 60kb of core system memory... RAM doesn't do it... Great feedback guys.

1 - HackaX0rus, since when do you read

2 - this is for Elementer

"There are 2348179231412 people that spend 60% day to play games like Ultima and other online games, recently I see some forum like Warhammer, Ultima etc... there are 1000 billion people there, maybe these type of games can be more enthusiastically to play instead of "run and fire" such Doom 3"

- there is only 6 billion people on the planet get your numbers straight, 2348179231412 is a third of the population

3 - rpgs in no way signify no life, thats what we call a stereotype in the real world there not always true

if your going to post do it intelligently, show us that there is a brain in that head and maybe people will take you seriously

I have to second a couple of statements made already and add one.

NWN (with both expansions) - There are huge persistent worlds out there for NWN that have some incredible writing and scripting in them. I re-installed NWN about two months ago and have been enjoying it immensely.

Vampire: Bloodlines - Yes, it is an FPS/RPG blend. But this is the first game I have seen where you can do anything, anyhow you want and still do GREAT in the game. Most RPG's have some flexibility, but in the end, 80% of the XP is from monster kills. 100% of V:B is for objectives and actions. For once a character that sneaks past all the guards in a level can do just as good as the big buff tank killing everything. AWESOME job there.

Morrowind - Another game with a TON of possibilities. Really open-ended. Tho if you make a mage with flight, you can cheese out a lot.

There are some awesome RPG's out there, and Vampire is even a rather recent game, based on the new Source engine with the appropriately GORGEOUS graphics.

RPGs have definitely been weak lately, and yes, I would say its mainly due to the huge growth and time put into MMORPGs (which I don't like).

Dungeon Siege II was not bad, but it lacked a lot of the fun and lightheartedness of the first one. It just became more like an improvement on Diablo 2 (it was better)...

Past that things have been very boring. I played Fable (xbox not pc) back in the day and it was fun but childish and SUPER easy. I played every aspect of the game and beat it in under 12 hours without dying once. I think an expansion wa recently released...

Any other ideas?? I am fresh out... Bang Head
