Post by: mm on September 05, 2004, 04:42:38 PM: depends on if you want traditional RPG like Baldurs Gate or hack n slash like diablo 2 or a boring piece of crap like morrowind

Post by: Lord Nicon on September 05, 2004, 08:53:07 PM: Final Fantasy XI. Console born game turned pc. A bit of both worlds. Actually i couldnt recomend much but diablo was ok when it first came out. It really all depends like mm mentioned.

Actually. Scratch FFXI off of there. Even if you might like the game. it would be a bit iffy considering its not just an RPG and you have to pay to play even after you buy it i believe.

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on September 06, 2004, 03:23:36 AM: Gothic 1 and 2 are pretty good games.

Theres also Sacred and others like it, which i can\'t remember.. Diablo style games.

Post by: Blade on September 06, 2004, 03:57:45 AM: Fallout 1 & 2.

KOTOR is also good if you haven\'t tried it on Xbox.

Post by: Phil on September 06, 2004, 11:46:36 AM: Fallout 1 and 2 are great and you can pick them up for dirt cheap. I got both of them over a year ago for 10 bucks.

Post by: Luke on September 06, 2004, 12:50:15 PM: The Baldurs Gate series is the pinnacle of D&D RPG\'s.

Bioware rules.

Post by: Proud To Be on September 06, 2004, 02:49:10 PM: The original Baldur\'s Gate: Forgotten Realm is for Windows 95/98/ME. :mad: Damnit.

EDIT: Now that I looked into it, all the BG\'s are for Windows 95/98/2000 or ME. aint that a bitch.

ANOTHER EDIT: well what a coincedence, so are both Fallouts.

Post by: Luke on September 06, 2004, 04:13:25 PM: You can still play them.

Post by: mm on September 06, 2004, 04:49:02 PM: probably because they came out BEFORE windows XP

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on September 06, 2004, 05:28:52 PM: 2000 = NT Kernal.. If they run on 2000, they\'ll run on xp.

Post by: JBean on September 07, 2004, 04:39:01 AM: also there is compatibility mode in windows xp... you can even play a game made for windows 95 if you want.

Post by: Proud To Be on September 07, 2004, 03:27:35 PM: Hows diablo 2? Is it worth getting?
Title: Rpg?
Post by: Phil on September 07, 2004, 03:48:14 PM: It\'s more of the same diablo 1 with more weapons and classes. If repeated mouse clicking doesn\'t bore you then you can try it out.

Post by: Proud To Be on September 07, 2004, 04:38:37 PM: Never played the first. :rolleyes: screw it, I\'ll skip diablo.
Title: Rpg?
Post by: Blade on September 07, 2004, 07:30:17 PM: Don\'t try to take on too many at once. Just get one or two at first and see what you like..

They\'re better consumed one at a time.

Post by: Lord Nicon on September 07, 2004, 07:48:54 PM: ^smart man^

Post by: Proud To Be on September 08, 2004, 02:21:02 AM: Ive already completely outdone myself. After getting all three BG\'s for thirty bucks I have like 13 games waiting for me when I get home. Its gonna take me forever just to get through all them, and then all the new games that will come out in the future, Im booked for some serious gaming for a long ass time. Thats what I get for being away for eight months though. I have to do some catching up.
