Long time ago I was a hard core rpg player in that i loved to play just about every single player rpg out there. But the past 3 years i have been completely out of the loop. I just ordered a new gaming PC and it should be here in the next couple of days. If you need the specs let me know. So I am looking to you rpg addicts for suggestion of game to play.
just to give you an indication of how long it has been , the most recent games i have played is Witcher , Mass effect ( first game - to me this was much more action than rpg) and drakensong the dark eye. On my current pc I can't even play NWN2 or oblivion without it crashing after 5 minutes ( but for now looking for something much newer to play)
My favorite rpgs in the past have been Might and magic rpg series, Ultima series, NWN 1, morrowind, fallout 1/2 and all the infinity engine games to name a few. From what i have read it seems todays rpgs have more action than rpg in it ,a trend I do not like. I know turn based is dead and even real time with pause does not seem to be too common any more.
I have a couple of games here that are some what recent - Divinty 2 - ego draconis ( i did love the first game) and Dragon age origins with all the add ons.
I do not mind buying a game. What i am looking for is one with very good to excellent graphics - ( hey have to take a little advanteage of my nvidea 570 card,lol), good plot, easy to get into and relatively short. I used to love the 100 plus hour games along with spending hours and hours on character creation but not sure i want to do something like that to begin with. I think it may be best to ease my way back into rpgs. I also don't have as much time to game as I used to - maybe 10 -15 hours a week.
would risen or gothic 4 be a good choice, I am totally open to suggestions.
I really would appreciate any ideas you may have. thank you
by the way , i think you have a great rpg site here.
