RPG Games.

[Makeo]

Well the apolyton d&d has got me interested in rpg. So much so that i'm thinking of buying a game.

I'm leaning in the direction of neverwinter nights. Any suggestions? I assume I should get the expansion pack.

Also if i get it is there any apolytoners who would want to play mp games?

I've seen a few threads in OT. Looks like they're building a game but it may be locked.

I'd recommend Morrowind with Tribunal expansion.

I'm no expert but I found Morrowind fun and easy to get into, I don't like 'party' based RPG's,(on PC's that is), if these are your thing look somewhere else.

Morrowind

Having played both NWN and Elder Scrolls III, I'd have to say both are good games. My overall nod goes to NWN. If you think you'll be playing online, don't even think of anything but NWN. But ES3 is a very good game too.

For online play I'd agree....But I hate online play.

Subscription costs are the thing I hate most. Ugh. Then lag, and 133t players, etc etc....

I prefer a single player adventure And when it comes to that, if you want open ended, go with Morrowind. I hear NWN is not very good in single player.

Depends what type of RPG you like. Morrowind is definately good, and NWN kicks ass also, but make good use of the mods and whatnot. For both/either game(s).

Arcanum rules as well.

If you like the console style of RPG, Anachronox is also a really well-made game. Gotta patch it, though, because the bugs are hellish at first.

I'm pretty much in agreement with everything Tass said. What the? I'm agreeing with Tass?

though I should mention NWN is free online.

And there isn't too much trouble with lag at all. Much better than civ3

The only difficult part is finding good games. Sometimes you get in games with powergamers that don't want to roleplay at all. There are sites like neverwinterconnections.com which will help you hook up with serious role players.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? A GAME WITHOUT A SUBSCRIPTION FEE?

[Grumbold]

NWN allows anyone with a server to host one or more modules so it couldn't possibly charge a fee. The whole point of NWN was to bring multiplayer PnP D&D kicking and screaming into the internet age.

Fallout, Arcanum, Planescape: Torment.

Greyhawk: Temple of Elemental Evil is out in a couple months...

Get Wizardry 6-8 if you can. Bane of Cosmic Forge is a bit old and runs under DOS, but it gets the story going. All three are very huge games and they are all old school.
