Looking for a nice crpg to play.

"Looking for a nice cRPG to play" - might as well look for the Holy Grail or the Mandylion while you are at it.

You might actually find those though.

I sense sexual tension between them

Really though, UR and AOD should just get a room and see where it goes.

 

[Tom Baker's Arse]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but ATOM RPG is being released to EA on Steam on 28 November ... that is the next one I am waiting for

I didn't see Wasteland 2 mentioned yet. It has mature themes and can be challenging if you don't min max, I had lot of fun with it.

For the classics, I recommend SSI's Gold Box game Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday. It's very interesting game in many levels and very different from other Gold Box titles, no magic or other tropes here. It also has a sequel, Matrix Cubed which appears to be quite combat heavy and I haven't finished it yet.

For non isometric stuff, I haven't seen Deus Ex mentioned. You may want to try it with GMDX, though I haven't tried it myself yet.

One more interesting game is Valkyrie Chronicles. There is a thread about it in jRGP forums. I really liked that game.

For games I haven't played perhaps Tyranny is the one that looks interesting.

Wizardry 6: bane of the cosmic forge. Lots of charm and interesting puzzle, well-developed RPG classes. You really can't go wrong.

If that is too hard for a modern brain then play bloodlines.

i have wasteland 2 already i liked it but on my opinion had flaws... the choices felt a bit constructed and forced if you know what i mean.

I don't really remember. Whatever there was perhaps I forgive them all when the final mission there were certain consequence regarding certain choices. I'm going to replay it one of these days, then maybe then I can recall such situations.

Funny I never finished Wasteland, even though it felt it was sort of game where you can make progress pretty fast. Haven't tried reissued version yet.

I liked the first witcher game, that was neat.

There's also sacrifice, an RPG/RTS hybrid, it's pretty interesting if your into distant high fantasy.

Arx fatalis is pretty good, it doesn't have any "mature" writing, it has great atmosphere though.

Legacy of kain series has a pretty good story/narrative, though the gameplay department is lacking... I suppose you could watch the "movies" on youtube.

I guess there's always dark souls?

Overlord is a semi-RPG I would say, and the tone is... cartoony+serious if you're into that sort. The gameplay itself is minion control based, not too bad. The story won't inspire you or anything though.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

Not fan of dark souls i like the gameplay but in the end what you do is just die and kill monster there is not even interactive dialogues is not the kind of rpg i am looking for... Heck despite the quality of the game i can't even classify it as an rpg... Is a fantastic dungeon crawler tough,

I own legacy of cain.. informing myself on the other titles.
I also have the witcher games

 

[Lacrymas]

If you don't mind older stuff, why don't you go for Dark Sun: Shattered Lands? It has reactivity in the very first screen, while fighting in the arena.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

ahhh dark sun loved that setting

You can play the best cRPG triology:
-Blade of Destiny
-Startrail
-Shadows over Rivia

uhuh nice attempt

Realms of Arkania is legit. Star trail is probably the least flawed cRPG I've played and has one of best character creation and inventory systems.

seems to me i will have to get a look at it then

 

[Cael]

They are a trilogy, so you might want to start with Blades of Destiny. However, the character creation in BoD can be... frustrating.

Oh, and expect to be trolled hard by the game. The guys at Sirtech are sadists.

 

[Jrpgfan]

All 3 games are selfcontained so you can play them in any order. I'd start with Startrail as it is imo the best of the three.

You can import your party from BoD if you finished it first though.

 

[grimace]

Wizardry 8: If you wanna try 1st-person, that's my recommendation, I really love this game.

I'm playing Wiz8 now. It's WizGreat.

 

[thesheeep]

I grow tired by D&D btw and i am kind of bored about forgotten realms..

It's Greyhawk. I think.

As if the setting mattered. ToEE is the very essence of generic fantasy content.

Not to downplay how much fun the game is but... the setting?!

That is true of the whole of Greyhawk, unfortunately. With the proliferation of the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance, Greyhawk and Mystara sort of got dropped by the wayside.

I already have nwn2 and mask of the Betrayer i am curious about age of decadence tough also underrail sounds promising even if recently i am more in to dark fantasy.

You have to get Planescape Torment right now. I don't even like it, it isn't for me, but if you are into stories and lore and stuff, that is an essential play.

Personally my best RPG of all time is probably Betrayal At Krondor. Get that if you don't mind really old stuff. If you have a very high resolution screen, maybe just don't bother. But it is a great game.

I think Underrail is really bad, and there is a thread on codex that will explain most of the reasons why. Funny how so many people seem to like it now. I pity them greatly. Age of Dec I am undecided on. I got bored because it is like a pnp game which is all about choices and situations and stuff and I only really like RPGs for tactical magic combat, and AoD has none of that. So it depends what you like from RPGs.

Divine Divinity was a good suggestion. Not sure you will get much in the way of story and loregasm in that though, but it is a good clepto RPG with decent combat. Blackguards is basically a masterpiece imo. Also Drakensang was a good suggestion. Like a less dumb Dragon Age Origins. I completed the first game and got bored of the second game, yet the second one is probably better. I just lose motivation sometimes for questing and RPGs.

Maybe try Bastard Bonds if you want something a bit different and don't mind a simple indie game. The combat is super shit so again, I didn't play it for long. But the story seemed decent and usually I hate all stories. That reminds me, Witcher 3. Pretty crappy combat unless you can enjoy slashy slashy dudebro stuff, but the graphics are insane, it is like living inside an oil painting, and the characters and lore are good and it has some really good voice acting. Again, I play for combat and hate stories and dialogue so it wasn't a game for me, but I still really appreciated how well made it was.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

i have planescape torment and divine divinity as well i am writing down all the titles eventually i will play them all

 

[Jrpgfan]

Underrail is the king of exploration and AoD is the best RPG since Arcanum.

If you're on the Codex and haven't played these games yet you should do it now or self-eject.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

I have Arcanum i miss underrail tough something i i will fix soon

 

[Deuce Traveler]

I already own:
Baldur's gate all the saga,Icewind dale all the saga, Planescape Torment, Pillars of eternity,Avernum Series,Arcanum,Divinity original Sin one and two.

I am looking for a nice rpg with compelling lore and a nice story that is not afraid to dive even in mature themes. I am asking a suggestion guys since with all the flooding of rpgmaker anime style game on steam i am having an hard time to find something interesting.

Geneforge series by Spiderweb Software. If you like it, try the original Exile Trilogy from the same developer. You already tried the Avernum series, which I thought was inferior.

 

[Lady_Error]

I am more for dark sun or planescape settings.

Try Torment II - it doesn't have much combat, but is the closest you can get to another Planescape Torment.

Lords of Xulima is excellent, though it's more like Might & Magic style-wise and not really dark.

Also, Pillars of Eternity gets much better with the White March expansion - even the base game is improved somewhat.

 

[Lady_Error]

It's a Guido Henkel trilogy, not Sir Tech's. They only published it in the US.

Star Trail is by far the best of the three and Blades of Destiny also didn't age as well as the other two.
