I'm looking for another crpg to play. Recently i've finished Divinity: Original Sin and I was completely blown away by it. The combat system, the riddles, the story, everything was superb, I couldn't dream of better rpg for myself, so the bar is pretty damn high right now. I really like being stealthy in games (or at least for my main char to be thief/assassin like) and for that build to be effective. I've already tried most major titles like BG and BG II (didn't like them, combat was major turn-off and stealth was meh) NWN I (was fine, even awesome until enemies started being immune to backstabs at which point I uninstalled and never played again) NWN II (major issues with framerate, couldn't get it to work) Morrowind (worst stealth system i've encountered), Obvlivion (very good), Skyrim (very, very good), Gothic I and II (somehow I didn't mind not being stealthy in these too, oh well) Risen (same case as Gothic), Dragon Age, Dragon Age II, Mass Effect I and II(really liked the second, completed it like 3 times). What can you guys and gals suggest me? Also, this is my first post on this forum so hi!

Deus Ex. Or a Wizardry 8 Ninja Faerie run. Stealth galore!
Play the Codex Holy Trinity™ or get the fuck out.
Have a nice day.

That's the great thing about RPGs, you can run the vast majority of the good ones on any old PC. Unfortunately stealth isn't done well on almost any RPG (then again you enjoyed D:OS, so good stealth can't be that important?)
The original Fallouts and the Underrail are other good turnbased RPGs you can try.
I haven't tried a stealth build in Underrail but you can sneak by most enemies and still get good XP due to the oddity system which doesn't necessitate killing.

yes is think so. until now the worst think i was called is somebody who plays like a moren.Are you sure you're in the right forum?
i can live with that. its the internet so i smile and doesnt take it so serious.
They're called "Realms of Arkania" outside of germany, they are already mentioned in the opening post, and yes, they are really classics. Its just sad how they were 'blessed' with such an atrocious remake.Maybe its because im from germany but i think the "das schwarze auge" trilogy are among the best of the best and absolute must play games. This is my first post and my english isnt the best so please dont be to harsh to me.

I played it and thought the original wasn shitty like that at least i didn't remember it shitty like that. than i ironmand through realms of arkania part 1 (like i had written in the other thread) and all my crpg love came back to me. i havent' played crpgs for a loooong loooong time and now i have all this great games that i can play
my list contains 40 crpgs at the moment and still growing. thanx shitty realms of arkanie remake. thx alot
Yeah, similar background over here. Codex is a real gold mine if you can brush aside the annoying casual racism and hatred. Anyways, welcome back to the world of crpgs and have fun with your wizardry iron man run!ahh ok i didn't know that. jeah the remake was shit but im very thankfull to this remake because exactly this game brought me here.

thx in these days you helped me alot and now im feeling like a child in a candy store.
wizardry is an absolut blast to play. whenever you have some gamtips. keep em coming (doesnt have to be ironman only though).
I haven't beaten a single wiz title... you might ask someone else I'm more the M&M type of guy. Ask me again when you start tackling them.
Here's one tho: Start your return trips considerably before running out of resources. By the time you cast your last DIOS, stairs to town better be in sight already!

like i said days before my english is bad so i have problems to say what i mean 
i think im circa halfway through the first wizardry. and somehow this game starts to feel repetetive und empty.
i havent met a single npc yet or something like that.i hope it gets better or i will trash 1-3 an continue on part 5. What a waste of potential
but i should consider which year they are made.
Ah, okay, got it. For starters, you could work your way through this list: http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=9453 The descriptions should give you a clue whether it might be worth your time.naa i meant gaming tips. not like how to survive more like you know some rpg gems? give me some namesI haven't beaten a single wiz title... you might ask someone else

Nah, wizardry 1 won't get better with npc interactions. Wiz 1-4 barely got any, 5 got few, 6 a bit more but it is 7 where you can explore towns and stuff with actual people inside.
If you're looking for something similar to Realms of Arkania, you might give Albion a shot. While the setting is completely different (sadly, I know no other really good games in the DSA setting other than Nordlandtrilogie), it has a similar vibe to it in terms of gameplay. You also might want to check out Dark Sun, or some Gold Box stuff, like Pools of Radiance or Champions of Krynn. Although Gold Boxes also focus more on combat than npc interactions and stuff.
Also Might & Magic 2, which is one of my all- time favorites, has good graphics and sound on the SNES port and there's a version with german screen texts. Absolute recommendation.

Very nice list thx.
Jeah i stopped playing wizardry. The dungeoncrawling was nice but absolut no interaction with nobody and nothing is a nogo in my eyes. Started to play might and magic 1. man the graphics are Horrible!! But the gameplay ist top notch. i just explored a part of sorpigal but there is so much more to enjoy. And @ albion i will play that game but only after i have finished amberstar and ambermoon.

Everytime I read this list I chuckle to myself when I see any M&M besides World of Xeen making it. The Real-time element of VI-IX completely fucked up the whole series in terms of balance. Everyone has their own guilty pleasure though, I guess.

What bitch this is?
Good list, there is still some stuff I haven't played. If the Celeron is your criterium, then it means that many of these will run on Dosbox on Android as well.
Well, World of Xeen was so simplistic that it could just as well have been real time. So the real time of MM6+ was just a natural evolution.
