I want an RPG like Dragon Age, as the topic states. What do I mean by that? An RPG that's more traditional in general gameplay and mechanics, but far more lenient and forgiving than any of the older ones. I generally like the idea behind Dragon Age, despite firing it up basically because I was bored to death and had nothing better to do, but can't stand playing it right now. Why? Because of how ill-considered the character cast is - there's a shitton of warriors and rogues of all sorts, but only one offensive mage (Morrigan), who's unlikable as fuck, and basically every conversation in the game ends with her disapproving of my actions. But enough ranting. What I want is:
- isometric view with an option of controlling the character with a keyboard (it was way more convenient than clicking on the ground all the time)
- "start-stop" combat that requires tactical thinking to some degree
- leniency and forgiveness (don't confuse it with being balls easy; I want a challenge, just not in a way where I lose the whole fight because of one tiny factor)
- a really good storyline, preferably dark and not about saving the world
- fantasy setting (the more original, the better, as I'm not fond of Tolkienesque "elves, dwarves and wizards" worlds)
- not being based on any version of Dungeons and Dragons (I can't and won't uderstand its rules, even if my life depended on it)
Thank you for all the help in advance. And I sincerely hope you'll understand what I mean.
