List of WASD-like control 3D RPG games (single player)

[cesm23]

Alpha protocol... it's not released yet, i prefer to add only already released games to the list, but still nice suggestion.

About dungeon siege 1 that's a huge disapointment, i mean i really liked the game but i only played the demo and there was absolutly no way of using wasd, it's JUST point and click so it's a shame i can't playt that game like that. I hope they implement wasd in the next sequels...

About borderland, well seems to be good too but it's better wait for the release before adding to the list.

I can't believe I've missed the party. Sticky this.

Also you forgot about Alpha Protocol - pure RPG awesomeness, show me other RPG that lets you do this - a goodness more extreme than that of Mass Effect

YBXA? It sucks. Should be WASD.

Some people recommended Vampire Bloodlines ITT, but I can't say I agree.
Sure it has WASD movement, but that alone doesn't make for an awesome RPG.
I really tried to play it, I looked at the char creation - one guy had orange sunglasses and looked pretty badass in general - so I picked him, started the game, but you know what? I fucking didn't know what to do or where to go and everytime I tried to talk to someone my guy only talked incomprehensible bullshit, seriously WTF? I just couldn't figure out what was going on, so sorry but this game sucks. No wonder it didn't sell.

 

[cesm23]

hum i see when i get the game i will try to take that in account.

Bythe way guys i have found the adventure games section and i have made a similar post to this one in there but about adventure games, if any of you here also play that type of games check it out.

Drakensang can also be keyboard driven, better than the nwn games.

Hum for what i have seen in youtube the game seems to be what i want, even tough i found the controls in fights a bit too "point-and-clicky" But it's just a video of course.

By the way is there a version of the game with a english dub of the spoken dialog?

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

Drakensang on the other hand I can definately recommend despite the lack of proper farting emotes. It has hot chicks with big boobs which helps a great deal to roleplay if you get my drift. There is a lot of amazing loot to gather by bashing barrels - seriously you'll never run out of barrels to bash, and the game generally features some awesome graphics and cutscenes. Definately one of the top games of the last years.

 

[cesm23]

Cool, it's already on the list now. You also don't know if there is any english dub for the game's spoken dialogs?

 

[VentilatorOfDoom]

look on youtube

I think Bioshock should also be in the list. It's definitely as much an RPG as it is an FPS. We even have a thorough review ,with focus on the role-playing mechanics, here in the codex : http://www.rpgcodex.net/content.php?id=172

 

[cesm23]

Well... i don't know... maybe i have to include a sub-category after the name of each game, it's better like this.

Still about Drakensang in the video you indicated it's clearly point and click, unless this is a "hybrid" style and we can choose point and click or wasd controls?? Like neverwinter nights?

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Controls in drakensang are similar to neverwinter and KOTOR.

It's missing system shock on the list.

How can you forget space siege? This game is innovative with a much better combat that the old diablo. Instead of using magic n swords, you get to use sniper rifles and rocket launcher. Don't forget to dive roll away from rockets and fully destructible crates for loot! And it features multiple ending where you can turn away from humanity and embrace machine implants.

 

[Malachi]

Ventilator, I apologize for focusing on the non-farting aspects of Deus Ex. I merely wanted to point out a potential pitfall, in case our Fable-loving friend had certain expectations for that particular game.

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Amulets and Armor

It's an RPG that uses an engine that looks like build 3d, used in duke nukem 3d.

Duke Nukem 3d, though I can't remeber any farting joke, has pissing, which gives you health.

I didn't take offense friend. I'm sure your effort is appreciated.

That's odd in the video i saw in youtube they only mention point and click... have you idea if this game has wasd-like movement ? If not then this game can't be part on the list since it's offtopic But still thanks for the suggestion.

interesting i never heard about this one before even tough i played some games with the build engine, like duke3d, blood, tekwar, etc. Yeah this one seems ok, it will go to the list.

None mentioned Far Cry 2!!! It's one of the best RPG of 2008 (only Fallout 3 is better!), it has a lot of cool weapons (like the flamethrower! wooooo!!!) and a vast world! There are lots of important choiches in the game... This game has EVERY RPG ELEMENT YOU COULD IMAGINE!!1!!11ONE! You can shoot zebras, drive cars, kill mercenaries. You MUST try it. Now!

 

[quasimodo]

This thread has made my day. All these great RPGs to choose from and none of that boring old outdated point and click gameplay.

Isn't far cry 2 a shooter? I mean in wikipedia says it's a fps... Unless it's like bioshock, i mean, having rpg elements. Bythe way in farcry 1 for example one thing i didn't liked was not being able to save and load where i want this is also another "requeriment" for the games i like

Like i said before this thread was made for people like you and me and i will continue updating it always! Just remember if you also like non-point and click adventure games i also have made the thread, since no one replyed there so far

Far Cry 2 IS an RPG. It's completely different from Far Cry 1. For example, you can buy weapons with the diamonds that you acquire during the game. You can also complete missions in many different ways. It's definitely an Action RPG, probably it's even deeper than Mass Effect or Bioshock. Listen to me, try it

 

[covr]

You should try Might&Magic 9, last and the best game of M&M games. It has nice 3D graphics, first person view and interesting plot. The only drawback is slow, turn-based comat, which I personaly hate!
And it has no fating, but it is a very old game (it was relesased even before Fable!) so I think it is not a surprise.

 

[Darth Slaughter]

Don't forget about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

about half the games in the first list aren't even wasd
