08.27.12 | Considering you want decent graphics, I can't rec you all of my favorite games.
But I will anyway:
Dwarf Fortress. ASCII sandbox game with an RPG mode, tons of crazy crap happens. Had a dwarf go crazy in my fort one day and he was dismembering everyone. I tried to get my sheriff to do something, but he was too busy getting drunk in the gathering hall... So, I had my mason wall the crazy dwarf off. But then, the rotting corpses of his murders polluted the gathering hall chambers and everyone died. That was just one play through... It has tilesets, so it doesn't have to be in ASCII format. The most open-ended game ever.
Space Station 13- an online game full of trolls trying to survive on a spaceship. I grew weed in the botanist bay with this guy once. We ended up smoking it the whole game.. which made it hard to see anything straight. When I sobered up, I found that my coworker from the bay had been knocked out, dragged to the kitchen, and turned into a hamburger.
I kid you not. |
Insurrection

08.27.12 | kotor 2 with the restoration patch is even better than 1 tho |
ApplicationToHeaven
08.27.12 | I consider Dark Douls my favourite game of all time but it is not at all like the elder scrolls. For something closer to the elder scrolls i'd recommend Gothic (any of the three) or The Witcher (1 or 2) |

at least in comparison to the others. still better than oblivion |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | i love fallout 3 but fallout 2 and new vegas are my fav |
Lakes
08.27.12 | i played new vegas first and got fallout 3 on a steam sale. i've played it for all of two hours haha, new vegas just trumps it in every aspect imo |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | fallout 3 is much better than new vegas. Did you play new vegas when it came out? |
Lakes
08.27.12 | i played it this year |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | it does. not to mention its more like the old fallouts like with the guns and items and stuff. cause well it takes place in the same area. but i played fallout 3 1st and man i feel in love with it. |
Calc
08.27.12 | Dungeons and Dragons is the game for you |
Lakes
08.27.12 | fallout 3 completely disregards fallout lore, its totally unbalanced and its really only fun as an open world sandbox game bro |

Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | nah there is plenty of fallouty stuff in fa3. just cause its different story and lore wise its still a great game |
Lakes
08.27.12 | fallout-y stuff but not consistent with lore
for example the east coast mutants were supposedly created with fev before it was even invented on the west coast which makes no sense
also how the brotherhood went from selfish jerks to white knights, sure it doesnt directly contradict lore cus it's a different branch, but it was still retarded lol |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | yeah i get that. but w/e man.
also does anyone else know Neverwinter Nights... its like the best RPG ever |
Lakes
08.27.12 | neverwinter nights rules
the expansions were great too
neverwinter nights 2's original campaign sucks but i've heard that mask of the betrayer is amazing so i'm pushing myself to get through the awful campaign so i can import my character into MotB lol |

but yeah nvn 2 campaign blows hard |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | wtf chuck lol |
Lakes
08.27.12 | nwn was my shizz a long time ago too. i think it was one of the first rpgs i actually enjoyed and played by myself haha |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | i think it was my 1st rpg. i remember my father teaching me the basics when i was like 6. |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | "i played it this year"
well it was practically unplayable for months after it came out (for me at least), biggest dissapointment ever |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | it played fine for me. |
Lakes
08.27.12 | same. some graphical glitches where radscorpions clip through the terrain and stuff but nothing major |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | haha i still get that. and i love that. its funny |
Lakes
08.27.12 | yeah its hilarious |
Lakes
08.27.12 | it does for me |
Lakes
08.27.12 | every time i play fallout 3 the whole time i think about how i could be playing new vegas right now |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | first time i played it 15 hours in my save file corrupted. The second time one of the main characters didnt spawn (around the 30 hour mark, dont remember his name) so yeah fuck New Vegas |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | lmao |
Lakes
08.27.12 | lol, you have bad luck.
skyrim on PS3 was the buggiest game ever for me. |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | what did you play on pentagon? like console |
Recspecs
08.27.12 | Runescape |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | yeah honestly i will say thats stupid agreed stokes. either way fallout 3 made me love fallout so w/e |
Lakes
08.27.12 | lol, bad writing and heavily unbalanced mechanics aren't trivialities to me |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | lol the story in fallout 3 was horrible |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | honestly no fallout will be better than the 2 one |
Lakes
08.27.12 | sorry, new vegas did not have a garbage story and it wasn't even made by bethesda
examples of unbalanced mechanics? you can max SPECIAL via bobbleheads and get all the important perks by the time you reach the level cap in fallout 3. having all your attributes at 10 isn't really roleplaying either |
Lakes
08.27.12 | 'avoid them' is never a valid excuse for unbalanced mechanics.
good game devs wouldn't have included them in the first place |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | devs giving players options is not a bad thing |
Lakes
08.27.12 | funny because new vegas has far more 'options' than fallout 3 |
Lakes
08.27.12 | yes, different difficulty modes exist. thus there is no need to include overpowered items/etc in the game because anyone who wants to make the game a breeze can turn the difficulty down, ffs |
Lakes
08.27.12 | i'm not clutching at straws for reasons to dislike fo3, i just don't see any reason to play it given that new vegas bested it in every area except for world design (which isn't even that important to me anyway) |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | "funny because new vegas has far more 'options' than fallout 3"
that doesnt mean that its better, and btw i hate new vegas cause it glitched on me twice when i was far along in the game. Up to that point I was actually enjoying it |
Lakes
08.27.12 | sorry that bugs ruined your enjoyment of the game, but bugs are a lot easier to fix post-release than bad design decisions |
Lakes
08.27.12 | i don't know where are all the bobbleheads are
that doesn't mean that their inclusion wasn't a dumb idea |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | yeah gaming guides are for gimps |
Bloodhail
08.27.12 | shut the fuck up and play wasteland |
Lakes
08.27.12 | what, because i like my games to have some thought put into their design?
excuse me, i'm asking too much for a supposed RPG to have acceptable writing and balanced gameplay! |
skoopy48
08.27.12 | been digging fable 2 lately |
johnnydeking29
08.27.12 | holy fuck, just looked at this again, has trebled in comments |
Lakes
08.27.12 | yep, stokes spewing the same old retarded arguments you'd expect to hear from some retard on the bethesda forums |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | the gameplay is balanced, youre just grasping at straws |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | fable 2 is hardly rpg |
Lakes
08.27.12 | i've already pointed out how fallout 3's writing contradicted existing lore and i've also pointed out examples of unbalanced gameplay. what is your response? "don't expect good writing from bethesda games!" "if it's unbalanced JUST DON'T USE IT!" yeah, real good job there |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | omg this is still going on |
Lakes
08.27.12 | "the gameplay is balanced, youre just grasping at straws"
if you think fallout 3's gameplay is balanced you seriously know absolutely nothing about game design |
Fluttertrank
08.27.12 | yeah fable 2 is boring.
but i love fable 1 |

08.27.12 | moreso than 3, and i dont play much rpg, more of an rts guy |

Pentagon
08.27.12 | "if you think fallout 3's gameplay is balanced you seriously know absolutely nothing about game design"
Stokes already covered this... your argument is trivial and purely subjective |
kingsoby1
08.27.12 | sounds like mass effect would be right up your alley |
Lakes
08.27.12 | i'm dismissing everything you've said so far because it's a bunch of retarded bullshit.
the bobbleheads aren't my main reason for disliking the game or anything close to it, nor did i ever
say they were. i dislike the game because the writing reeks of derp, the gameworld is frankly
illogical and a lot of it contradicts existing lore, IN ADDITION to game balance issues such as your
skill with a weapon having virtually no effect on your accuracy in VATS, VATS doing an outrageous
amount of damage (which makes regular shooting useless in comparison), and the bobbleheads |
lucasjcockcroft
08.27.12 | Fallout 3 and NV both bored the shit out of me.
but yeah, The Witcher 2 rules. |
Lakes
08.27.12 | "Stokes already covered this... your argument is trivial and purely subjective"
writing and gameplay balance are major aspects of an RPG. it is not 'trivial' nor is it 100% subjective |
Pentagon
08.27.12 | " lot of it contradicts existing lore"
the fuck is this supposed to mean? |
Pentagon

08.27.12 | as i've said, the bobbleheads aren't even close to being one of my main gripes with the game, it's
just one thing that came to mind.
lore consistency and game balance are really important to me in an RPG though, maybe even moreso than
the "fun factor" |
