Diablo and Baldurs Gate represent two very different philosophies in RPG design, which did you like better?
That or Sacred, but I hear Titans Quest is the better game overall, and they're about the same price.xitel said:
Also Icewind Dale 2 is some damn fine RPG combat and dungeon hacking. It kind of mixes the best of both worlds, the Action of Diablo 2 and the Party Dynamics of Baldurs Gate, plot isn't as good or interactive though.
If you liked BG I would suggest...
Baldurs Gate 2
Knights of the Old Republic
Neverwinter Nights 2
And Prophecies and Factions (you can't really buy one without getting the others IMO, as it just gives you so much more versatility in what you can do)curlycrouton said:
Technically they're MMORPGS though, despite a lot of it being do-able without any contact with other players, so they may not be your thing.
Icewind Dale 2 could be the perfect game for you then.WeedWorm said:I meant a good RPG.PedroSteckecilo said:
BG probably, I find micro management enjoyable for some reason. Plus, I prefer one with a party.

All of those games are Excellent (I'm a sucker for Bioware). The entire Icewind Dale Series (Number 1 + Heart of Winter AND number 2) is sweet! Less on story (Compared to Baldur's Gate) but heavier on action and looting. Plus, YOU make the entire party! Not just one dude! It's sweet. I'm a fan (Can you tell?)
Games similar to Baldur's Gate? Icewind Dale, Planescape, Neverwinter Nights 1/2.
Diablo? Honestly, throw a stone and you'll find hundreds. But for good ones, I've heard varying things about Titan's Quest that indicate it's probably good. Hellgate's all right, but I've heard it's really only good with friends.
EDIT: And, of course, KOTOR is pretty similar. Jade Empire is as well, but Jade Empire is a bit... eh. Not their best.
And regardless what people may say about the rushed ending of KOTOR 2, Obsidian knows how to make interesting characters.

KOTOR 2 = 2/3 of a good game. The last bit is just so very bad compared to the rest of it. However I found Atton to be an awesome character, fits the Han Solo Archetype that was missing from KOTOR 1 (Carth was too whiney)TGLT said:
Download Earthbound and Mother 3 roms, they're JayArrPeeGees to be exact but they're really good.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that was pissed off about Carth. Though yeah, the ending could have been a hell of a lot better. Still, more characters in KOTOR 2 that I liked compared to KOTOR. G0-T0, Atton, Kreia, Bao-Dur, and Visas. And the return of the only other two characters I really liked from KOTOR, HK-47 and Mandalore. Well, and I did like Jolee but poor old bastard'll never get off Kashyyk again I imagine.PedroSteckecilo said:
I always did find KOTOR 1's characters a little bit lacking compared to the BG characters, which felt much more alive.
