Looking for an RPG Game recommendation

<< < (2/3) > >>

Arparso:
Well, I immensely enjoyed Dragon Age and didn't notice a whole lot of bugs while doing so. It does have a few pacing issues - for example the underground sections beneath the dwarven city really went on and on and on... with a whole lot of endless fighting and not much story to go by. However, I quickly managed to connect to my own character and the wide range of dialogue options really made it a personal adventure of my own. The chemistry between some of the companions was also pretty enjoyable and the dialogue some of the best I've seen from Bioware so far.

I don't know. It's certainly not a perfect game, but the world felt so rich and detailed, so fledged out, and the sheer amount of content is so overwhelming at times - I can't really think of any other recent RPG even coming close in that regard. Most stuff nowadays is either a crazy JRPG or some streamlined action RPG hybrid, that doesn't really resemble what the genre once used to be.

Fable I'm not sure about. I did very much enjoy it, but i'd hardly call it RPG... more of an action game with some RPG elements and meaningless freedom. Sure, you can marry someone and buy houses and stuff - but it doesn't really serve a purpose in the game's context.

There's also "The Witcher": I personally didn't really get into it, but it's a pretty challenging dark fantasy RPG with lots of choices to be made, which supposedly really do influence later chapters and how the story progresses. It was extremely buggy at release, but most issues are fixed now in the Enhanced Edition or whatever its called... and it's pretty cheap - I heard it'll be sold for around $5 on gog.com soon.

The Old Dragon:
With regards to Dragon Age:Origins, I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of it's strongest features was the beginning chapter (with six character classes to choose from and each with their own back story for you to play through which leads to specific sections only for that character later on in the game) and four different endings, it's re-playability is quite amazing (I tend to struggle with replays unless I leave a few years - not much excitement if you know what's coming!).

Dragon Age 2: Still a good game, no regrets buying it; get at least three play throughs with it, all slightly different and there's shed loads of  decisions to make (quite similar to ME2 with the character interactions). Downside... quite a bit smaller than DA:O in regards to area sizes and lots more console style combat (if you don't kill em off fast enough, then you get swamped by the next wave who seem to drop out of thin air sometimes!).

Both have big communities so expect (and find for DA:O at this points) lots of modding for PC version.

Fable was quite good, very light-hearted & fun game to play.

The Witcher, very much the hack & slash (and burn to a crisp on occasion) style game. Enjoyed once again and waiting for the sequel. Don't get if easily offended as there's swearing, gambling, sex & violence aplenty (not so much for the american version I hear ). Vast amounts of exploring and quests involved with large areas full of fairly intelligent nasties to get you. Only bad thing really is that the story (although quite rich) is fairly locked and linear.

Out of curiosity, anyone tried "Two Worlds"? Quite good graphics and an immense world to play in, hard as well. Must get back to playing it really...

DreamorCZ:
Ah, Two Worlds 2. Very nice game with a really big world. Magic and potion creating is great there. However, you can see that developers did not have time to implement everything, so there is strong feeling of incomplete game. Story-line is strongly fixed.

Witcher is also great, mainly for those who read book series. As said, linear story is quite setback and it quite kills re-playability. With latest patch it is game surely worth to play.

PS: Expansion for Two Worlds 2 is coming. It's called Pirates of the Flying Fortress.

Arparso:
Two Worlds 2... bah. It was better as the first one, I'll give it that. As soon as I learned that the big huge island covering 70% off the map was just a decoy and that it's mostly blocked off to the player, I literally threw the game in the trash bin. I expected the game to really start off when I would reach that "main island" and could start to explore and do tons of quests there... but no, there's nothing at all except the last boss fight, more or less. What a disappointment. Basically, the first proper island you visit, the desert island, is the biggest one in the game - which really is a shame, cause it's quite small compared to other open world RPGs. The first Two Worlds was worse in the gameplay department, but had sooo much more content and stuff to do... :(

Mularac:
Two worlds... can't really say I'm familiar with the franchise....
The witcher, on the other hand... quite good game, the graphics are still quite good now a days, and the potion creation side of the game created a whole new array of gameplay possibilities, instead of just slashing your way through the game you were given the option to blind/burn/stunt your opponents while you could buff yourself to fit most scenarios... I must say that the gameplay department was much better though off than the general storyline and choices system, excluding your bad-ass PJ :P
