Re: Rpg
Best RPG for me is Morrowind - just in terms of sheer scope and story
Long & glichy at times, though

Re: Rpg
I've just got into Morrowind on the xbox and gotta adnit so far I am slightly disappointed, It started out looking like just my type of game. As mentioned before the scope and detail of this game is amazing, it's baldurs gate without being on rails. I loved that i could try do quests or just wonder off to steal and pillage at wont, and I know I haven't really played alot but...
the game seems to heavily lean towards melee combat, magic just isnt as tough and ranged/bow attacks are too slow to be a fun focus for a character. This wouldn't be deal breaker except the combat system is really really bad for what is otherwise such an epic game. One button attack? swing miss swing miss swing miss swing hit swing miss etc?

Re: Rpg
that's because your stats are low, melee is the easiest to pick up at first, Magic and archery are more of a challenge... try to find some trainers. Ok, they cost money, but you will get there sooner.

Re: Rpg
I dont bother with games anymore but at the time I thought Planescape Torment was excellent. Similar in style to Baldurs Gate but I thought the dialogue and story was really well written. Hard to get hold of nowadays although ebay has the odd copy. Also remember Final fantasy IX fondly, it kept me occupied for a couple of weeks after breaking an ankle. A mention for Dungeon Master and The Eye Of The Beholder games too. I hevent played them for years and I doubt theyve aged well but they got me interested in RPGs in the first place.
