Recommend me an RPG

[Apocalypse]

I've had a new computer for over a month now yet no new games to play it on. That needs to change.

I'm thinking RPG like Divine Divinity, Morrowind, or Arx Fatalis at the moment. Not sure which. I'm open to other suggestions. I just want something that isn't more than a year old.

This is what I view in order of importance for RPGs:
1. Story
2. Atmosphere
3. Combat
4. Graphics

Neverwinter Nights doesn't have a very good storyline, but since you can download new modules, the potential exists to find some excellent stories out there.

Bioware is developing a free series of modules that have a fantastic plot so far. Still it might not be what you're looking for.

[Apocalypse]

I was thinking about NWN, but I have a 56k so the amount I'd be able to download is limited.

[Tuberski]

Modules aren't really terribly large. Anywhere from about 800k to about 4.2M is what I have seen.

ACK!

[Apocalypse]

Does NWN fit in with what I view as important though?

I wouldn't say so.

It's more of a multiplayer game.


Have you tried Arcanum - Of Steamworks And Magick Obscura? I haven't played all the way through it, but it's got one of the best atmospheres I've ever seen in a computer game.

It's a bit old. He wanted games a year old. But yeah, I think it's by the Fallout crew, and they made fantastic games.

Fallout I&II are available for ten bucks together. Good deal if you don't mind the dated engine.

[Apocalypse]

I have Arcanum, Fallout, and Fallout 2.

You aren't being helpful.

Not to mention that would totally defeat the purpose of this thread, getting a game for the computer.

How about, hmm, zelda?

[Apocalypse]

Not for my PC...

there really aren't that many rpgs which are less than a yr old. you've probabably played the majority of them.

[General Ludd]

I haven't played it, but morrowind seems like a good single player game. From what I gather it doesn't really have much of a story, but it's completely open and non-linear.

[The Pioneer]

I thought that Morrowind was very engaging because it was open ended and it had an engaging story!?

Anyway, I am still looking to finsh BGII which is an excellent game IMHO.

So long...

I'd rate Morrowind over Divine Divinity on the criteria you give.
