My girlfriend and I like to play CRPGs together. Currently our favorite is the Avernum series; we play it with her on the keyboard controlling the spellcasters, picking up items, navigating dialogue etc. and me on the mouse, moving the party around and controlling fighters and archers. Plus the fact that $25 gets you 600+ hours of entertainment and plot is a nice bonus of that series.
However, we're nearing the end of A5, so we'll need a new game soon. We might go back and do the Geneforge series next, though we started it once and lost our save game in a computer upgrade, so we'd have to start the first game over. :-( But I'm curious if there are any other CRPGs people think might be suitable for two people to play together.
IIRC, Baldur's gate could network so two players could control different party members, which would be pretty cool. Do any other games do that or something like it? Old games are fine, we don't really care about graphics. We have both macs and PCs to play on, and I could probably talk myself into buying a used PS2 on eBay.
(Not MMORPG's, please, I hate level grinding with no plot! I've tried lots of MMOs and was always insanely bored in just a few hours.)
Thanks much for any suggestions!
