I havent played any computer games for ages, they are all shit nowdays!!, but stumbled over morrowind very cheaply and decided to buy it.
Now Im hooked. Best RPG I have played since baldurs gate and might and magic 6.
Anyone else spent time on this gem?
Good things come to those who wait
Do you ever remember the original Monkey Island games Johan? They were quality... only 1 and 2 though.

Dude, HELL YES! Snag Oblivion (if you liked Morrowind, but you're computer will need to be jacked waaaaay up to get the most outta the killer graphics), umm, play World of Warcraft quite a bit and now waiting for the expansion in October i think...what else, well, most of what's coming out soon is MMORPG stuff, but they look pretty good...
Seems they don't make much other than that nowadays...but yeah, old school stuff like Might and Magic, Wizardry, and the Baldur's Gate series was kick ass too...any D&D stuff is cool...hey, the other day, i downloaded Ultima IV....remember that shit? could only stand it for a bit, but brought back many memories...

actually, if you have a ps2, they still drop out some cool Final Fantasy games, and similar playing titles like Dragons Quest and such...turn-based, kinda repetitive, but still, reminds me of the old days when that's all there was...
oh damn, you hit a hot button, now my secret's out

My computer is kind of crap so Oblivion seems out of the picture. But Im gonna try and se if I can run it at low graphic settings when Im done with morrowind. Hope I canOriginally Posted by Alpha-Male
Never been into MMORPG just seems to time consuming? I prefer strategy when it comes to multiplayer. Ahh the sweet days of starcraft. That was a blast.

I played alot of final fantazy1 one on a nes simulator during 7th grade. What a damn classic game! I never got into 7 and the ones after.

Morrowind and Oblivion are two of the best RPGs ever created. I wish their visual style was a little better, though (like the Final Fantasy series). The models of the people are kinda strange looking, but it works.

Dawn of War, cool RTS game, and expansion...
Yeah, i ran Oblivion at lower settings (i only have a GeForce 6200, but you can get a 6800 now for under $200us i think, maybe less)...still a kick ass game though...
what about first person shooters? Doom3, F.E.A.R. some cool ones...there's others coming out soon that look phenomenal...

FF is over-hyped IMHO. I liked Grandia and Skies of Arkadia(sp) on DC. Haven't played a decent RPG since.
Senior Member
what's DC?
VET Retired
Dreamcast.
Senior Member
man, i think they have Morrowind on xbox and ps2, and i know they have oblivion on the xbox360...you should give em a try...lil different than the games you're talking about, which i like too, but still very cool...
i forgot about the Dreamcast
2/3 Deca 1/3 Test
Warcraft.

I played PS on DC/xbox and hated it. Alien vs Predator is a cool RTS game on xbox tho.

Im not a big fan of shooters. But I LOVE Max Payne. Pure entertainment.
Have you tried Might and Magic 6 and 7(stay away from 8 and 9 they suck)?? They are old so the graphics are horribleMorrowind and Oblivion are two of the best RPGs ever created. I wish their visual style was a little better, though (like the Final Fantasy series). The models of the people are kinda strange looking, but it works.
The best RPG's ever made though have to be Fallout 2 and Baldurs Gate 2. Damn the hours I have spent on those 2 games. Especialy Fallout. The fallout world just sucks me right in.
Its gonna be interesting to se how Bethesda handle making fallout 3. They sure did a tremendous job with morrowind. But Im not sure they can handle the depth of conversation of the fallout games and the mature content.
Looking forward to neverwinter nights 2 aswell. Hope they make the single player experience alot better than the first neverwinter nights. After Baldurs gate I was expecting something tremendous and neverwinter nights just didnt cut it.

Ohh yeah add planescape torment to the list of best RPG's ever. What a perfect game that was. In some ways even superior to baldurs gate 2.

LOL
OBLIVION which is the 4th one THE ONE AFTER MORROWIND
is ****ing UNBELIEVEABLE
OMFG its greatest thing u will ever play blows morrowind into a gillion pieces
just reserach it
Senior Member
Fallout 3??? OMFG...dude, that game was awesome, i think Bethesda will just fine though...when's the release date on that?
and yeah, the only problem with NWN was how frikkin' short it was, the expansions were obviously even shorter...but i liked the game play better, with the 3D and such...

MnM 6 and 7 are AWESOME! The graphics aren't really that bad, especially for the time they were created in.Have you tried Might and Magic 6 and 7(stay away from 8 and 9 they suck)?? They are old so the graphics are horrible
Senior Member
yeah, last M&M i played, i think was 9, it was the first one that was point and click battle system...i played it alot, but now that i look back, the others were sooooooooo much better...

I played Might and magic as well as Monkey Island. I just dont have the time for RPG, therefore i play sports games in my spare time
The One & Only
Best game for PC was Diablo 2, and why they don't make a very very similar game, I dunno. World of Warcraft is all that Blizzard really cares about now, but I could never get into it for some reason, LONG LIVE DIABLO!

counterstrike 1.6 <----- is where its at
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
I guess I have to give my old computer a little boost so I can play that ****er
Diablo 2 was fun to spend some time on but it never caught my attention. I like RPG's with a rich and deep story.
Its just in pre production or something like that. The only thing Bethesda have said is that they are going to do it there way. But I have to say if they make fallout 3 from a first person perspective Im going to be VERY sceptical and my god if they even think about making it real time instead of the action point system. Fallout without action points are like burgers without buns.

Oblivion is fantastic but I have to admit....I am still not tired of World of Warcraft online yet.........60 level pally, rouge and mage......juicy

Bajan/Bastard,
My messages were screwin up...sorry. Have you played any guild wars at all?
Senior Member
what server(s)? i'm on Khazgoroth, only played one char to 60, Orc Warrior, Knights of Dark Reknown...haven't played in awhile though, just waiting for expansion...the battles are very tiring, and down right retarted if you ask me...and the end game was getting old...i don't like team play all that much
"Vanity Redefined" ~VET~
DOOOD then u so NEED OBLIVION it is the ONLY RPG i ever played where i actually PAYED ATTENTION TO THE STORY! and EVENTS TAKING PLACE.. they are so "REAL TIME" and ur like OMG OMG ! i need to hurry kill this guy, assisnate this person, learn this spell, steal this item, complete this quest, find this item, save this person and get back intime to get PROMOTED!~ LOL
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
If the story is half as good as in baldurs gate 2 and planescape torment I know I will be addicted
Why the **** are computer games so god damn expensive nowdays

Planescape Torment has one of the best storylines EVER, but Oblivion comes close. I would say it is second only to Planescape.
"Vanity Redefined" ~VET~
OMG u are right LOL that is/was my all time favorite RPG EVER
Retired: AR-Hall of Famer
second to planescape. god damn. that moves it into very nice company indeed. Time to start looking for it
Planescape and baldurs have so far in my book been in a class for themself.
