10 RPGS You Might Have Missed @ Elder Geek

Not much chance you've missed these if you read this site...well, perhaps apart from the jRPGs.  Elder Geek offers 10 RPGs they feel people may have overlooked, with Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Icewind Dale 1 & 2 and KotOR2 joining some jRPGs such as Final Fantasy IX:

Icewind Dale was wonderful.

Dungeon crawling in a party-based system never felt so good. Comparatively, Icewind Dale I, II and their expansions were action-rich in comparison to the story-driven Baldur’s Gate series. Both the music and atmosphere were perfect for fall and winter gaming. Much like Bioshock made you thankful that you were dry, the Icewind Dale series made you thankful you had a thermostat.

Playing Icewind Dale as a single player experience was fantastic, but the game truly shined in D&D style when you played it with others. That case still holds true today. Co-operative play makes everything better, especially when you’re pretending to be a level 14 half-elf thief.
