What RPGs to play? I've played the entire BG Saga and totally loved it!!!
Then I tried IWD Series and though they both used the lovely Infinity System, I didn't enjoy it as much because of the lack of sideline quests and wit.

I have played NWN becasue it's based in Forgotten Realms and quite liked 3rd edition rules and the graphics but lacked party abilities.

What else is there????

Are there any things coming up that I should keep an eye out for???

I tried Wizardry 8 and hated the turn based system for RPG.

I hear NWN's add-on is coming up.... I would love to play Everquest but can't afford the net bills...

Don't like Diablo beat them ups.... what else??

Let´s see...

Morrowind perhaps, great non-linear game with good graphics.

The old Planescape: Torment. Uses the Infinity Engine like the BG saga and IWD.
The exact opposite of IWD, just as IWD is all about fighting PT is all (almost) about story and solving quests. It has an excellent story and memorable NPC´s as well.

Some would probably say Arcanum although I personally think it´s a somewhat mediocre game.

Arx Fatalis !
Awesome CRPG, trust me :D

Planescape: Torment every time for me! This game surpasses all other CRPG's for storyline in my opinion. Nothing else I've played has had that kind of depth and versitility. My only problem with it is that its hard towards the end - the difficulty jumps around a bit I think.

Planescape Torment! Never has a better CRPG hit the market! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Its not as expance as the BG series, but I really like Dungeon Siege. It's graphics are outstanding, and the camera control is great. Just my [img]graemlins/twocents.gif[/img] :D

all the games that were posted are nice.. depending on your taste.. i would suggest then planscape torment, NWN (although kinda hack and slash in a way) ... but if your still interested in turnbase... fallout series is good. if you dont mind first person point of view, arx fatalis is a good game...
