RPG's by setting and relationship to DnD.

[lord of the mark]

Ive begun my first RPG, the CRPG "Baldurs Gate" Its a D and D based RPG, set in the Forgotten Realms. My impression is that FR is one of the most popular settings for D and D, both CRPG's and Pencil and paper, etc. I am aware that there are CRPG's not based on D and D rules.

So - what are the "major" (best selling, best games, most influential, ones you liked best, whatever) computer RPG's in the following categories
1. DandD set in the Forgotten Realms
2. D and D in other settings
3. Other than D and D.

Planescape:torment

Icewind dale 1&2

Fallout 1&2

There are others that I plan to try,

Never winter nights, temple of elemental evil

[centrifuge]

Oh btw, all except Fallout are DnD

So IIUC:
Forgotten Realms: BG1 and BG2, Icewind 1&2, NWN, and ToEE.
DnD in other settings:Planescape Torment
Not DnD:Fallout 1 &2

arcanum is not DnD

Exile is not DnD

there is a series of games called the Golden Box set which are all DnD (and forgotten realms), they are older of course

all the Rogues and Roguelikes are not DnD (but similiar)

I have played a number ofotherones as well, don't recall everything

(Bard's Tale was not DnD I believe)

Those are both in the Forgotten Realms, aren't they? (or are the planar worlds not considered part of forgotten realms?)

Being the thread starter one would think you would have read your own post

So - what are the "major" (best selling, best games, most influential, ones you liked best, whatever) computer RPG's in the following categories
1. DandD set in the Forgotten Realms
2. D and D in other settings
3. Other than D and D.

This falls into the "Other than D&D" category

Yup, i listed 3 categories. Did i not make myself clear? It was my intention that those who responded would say WHICH category the game(s) they named belonged in. IE i was listing the 3 categories for the purpose of doing a "sort" not merely a "select" Since the 3 categories are exhaustive for CRPG's (since i include an "other" category) I thought it was obvious I was asking which category - otherwise id merely have asked (as others have before) which are the best CRPG's.

I guess I'll have to be more explicit next time.

Thank you for clarifying. I asked if it was DnD to see if what category it was in, not to suggest that you had incorrectly posted it. I suppose I could also have asked if it was other than DnD to make myself clearer, but that seemed pointless. If I have 3 exhaustive categories, and something doesnt fall into 1 or 2, obviously it falls into 3. So you could simply have said "no, its not Dnd"
