Meh. If you finish it to soon, just read the book. =P http://www.dimwood.net/bak_in_win2k.txt <= This should completely solve any problems with running Betrayal on a non-dos Windows system. I'm gonna go re-download a copy now (been ages since I played it), and try the advice on that page. |

Betrayal and Return at/to Krondor. Two of the best damn games I played back in the day. Besides the fact that they're based off of some of the best books ever written by Raymond Feist, they have some awsome gameplay, and I believe that Betrayal at Krondor was rated as a top RPG one year by some magazine or another. I'm not sure if they run on anything higher then 95 or 98, but I don't doubt that there is a patch out somewhere for both.
As a matter of fact, I believe that Sierra has given Betrayal at Krondor out for free on the interweb. Try googling it. |

I heard there was a new D&D game coming out for PC. Or is that going to be an online one? |

Come to think of it, both Fallouts did have a distinct goal that was given from the beginning. But I found that, after finding the water control chip or the GECK, I was a bit aimless. More of a personal preference I guess...like I said, I still loved both games. |

I found that much more of a problem in other games like the Elder Scrolls series, where I'm usually left utterly confused whereas Fallout gives me enough pointers to keep me going in the 'right' direction. |

The only issue I had with the Fallout games, both the original and its sequel, was how terribly open-ended both were. Normally I'd say that's a good thing, but I found that each game was non-linear to the point that a player is often given absolutely zero direction in what he's supposed to accomplish. Otherwise, though, both Fallout and Fallout 2 (and, to a lesser degree, Fallout: Tactics, which was good but ultimately flawed) are unrivaled in their genre but have gone largely unnoticed. |

You absoluetly can't go wrong with Fallout 2 or Baldur's Gate 2. The post-apocalyptic 50s retro-futurism in Fallout 2 sets an atmosphere unrivaled by any other RPG. |

Be lucky yours would only choke and die, Silvershield.
Mine would blow up within fifteen feet of most newer games. That's why on the rare occasions mom gets a game, she brings it straight into her room. Actually, though, I've not played Baldur's Gate or BG2 yet. I should probably look into remedying that situation... |

DAMN Obsidian for not releasing it until September! I'll be back at school by then, and my laptop would choke and die if I ever brought the NWN2 CD within five feet of it. And I'd feel like it was a waste to only buy the game to play while I'm at home where my more powerful (but gradually aging) desktop is... |

Wait until September when Neverwinter Nights 2 comes out. It's destined for greatness and funnity. |
| Silvershield Posts: 114/587 |
A bit of a bump, but I cannot sit back and let this thread die without at least mentioning Baldur's Gate and its sequel. The two greatest games I've ever played. And, let me tell you, I played the hell out of those games...

Yeah, Morrowind's not for everyone. If you like that kind of open-endedness and exploration, though, you'll love it. One of my favorite RPGs, but a lot of people don't like it.
I'd also recommend Neverwinter Nights.  |

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has gotten pretty good reviews too if you don't mind something a few years older. I started playing a bit and was somewhat overwhelmed...I imagine Oblivion would be worse in that regard. |

You could also go old-school and play the Ultima/Might and Magic/Wizardry series, even though the latest ones aren't that great. |

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II. Enough said.
But if you have a lot of time on your hands, go for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. |

Are there any pc rpgs which arn't online that are worth playing? I've got FF8 and FF7 but thats it i think. |
