I need a single player RPG..

I need to play a good single player rpg that will run on a s****y system

that can only run Guild wars all medium.

any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Give me your PC specs and I could see what cheap tweaks you could make to your system. Also, Fable: The Lost Chapters ran well on my older rig on highest settings just fine, so you should be able to pull off a nice framerate and make it look good at the same time, I just need to know what you have. Buy KOTOR I and II, and you could run it nicely I'd bet, but you would need a video card compatible with its openGL format, and since you say you have a crappy rig, I'm not sure if you could run it.

Oblivion is also another obvious answer, but I would recommend upgrading a bit, and you could run it on 1024x768, medium settings, maybe some AA full draw distance. If you have to, you could lower the resolution a bit.

Hope that helps, post your specs and I might be able to help more.

okay... but its a little embarassing :(

its a laptop btw.

XP home edition

intel core cpu

1014 mb RAM

direct x 9

:S not too good with this stuff anything else i need to put?

Diablo 2 + Lord ofDestruction is a great Single Player and Multiplayer game it doesnt takea nice PC to play it on ether.psycho_chan13

Honestly, I wouldn't try it in single-player mode. It's dead boring unless you have a group of friends playing with you.

Anyway, check out all of the usual recommendations (Fallout series, Baldurs Gate series, NWN, KOTOR, etc.) - most of them won't need a great computer to run.

Also a helpful website is http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest. Select a RPG (or any game) and press Can you run it? It scans your PC, collecting hardware information and comparing that to desired game and finally telling you if and how well you can run selected game.

Baldurs gate 2 + exp

morrowind

icewind dale

deus ex (the first one, I know its a shooter but its RPGish, and its the best hybrid so far).

i recomend console emulation (snes got all old scool ff´s)

Morrowind. It isn't the best RPG on the computer but it is damn close. The only problem is the game is short. It will only last you a few years. Plus you only have like hundreds of gigs of great downloadable content.

It is a rather old game but it gets RPG elements right. Plus there is a great mod out there that takes a natural approach to the RPG system which is sort of hard to explain.

Bump any more ideas?chickchikagetup

We didn't give you enough? :|

1.Fable: The Lost Chapters

2.Kotor 1 & 2

3.Jade Empire: Special Edition

Try this to see if you can play The Witcher: http://www.yougamers.com/gameometer/10204/

Definetly Morrowind.

Morrowind if you don't have that.mo0ksi

*call me chuckles* I sense some sarcism here...this game will only last you a few years. :)

Diablo 2 + LoD

Jagged Alliance 2

System Shock 2

Hellgate London

Diablo

Arx Fatalis

Morrowind or Oblivion or Daggerfall( I wont recommend Arena as its starting dungeon is HELL)

Icewind Dale

morrowind, KOTOR 1&2, gothic

btw: i was thinking of getting either icewind dale collection, baldurs gate collection or neverwinter nights diamond. which one has the best plot? i dont mind gameplay that much...i just want a good plot. NWN2 got story of the year. is the fist one just as good?

Of those the Baldur's Gate collection has the best plot with NWN diamond following close on it's heals.

maybe you can try lionheart (it is not as good as previous, but good still).ninjadxt

No! As much as I love Black Isle Studios and their games...stay away from Lionheart. It will only bring you pain and tears.

I mean, you can try to like it, for a while, and maybe you can even try to finish it...but you'll ultimately fail at both. :(
