I need some game suggestions, nothing new right now at all that I want to play. Number one thing for me is gameplay, I prefer gameplay that at it's core fun and fluid with not too much reading or waiting around. I've played Baldur's Gate 2, Baldur's Gate 1, Icewind Dale, Morrowind, Planescape Torment, Gothic 3, Diablo 1 and 2. Of those games I liked Morrowind the most, Gothic 3 had the most promise but failed hard when I tried to play it. I need some suggestions for fun games to play, I'm not the biggest fan of turn-based or lots of dialogue at once. Thanks

@robokill: my list: Sacred, Sacred2, Divinity, Beyond Divinity, Dungeon Siege 1&2, Torchlight 1&2, Might and Magic, Temple of Elemental Evil, Neverwinter Nights 1&2, Ultima series, and Arx Fatalis. Play them all and you are good for 1000+ hours!

Divine Divinity has a good amount of depth, Arx Fatalis is good (an homage to the Ultima Underworld games), Neverwinter Nights 2 is not as good as the first (imo) but worth trying, Temple of Elemental Evil is decent but has turn-based combat. Torchlight 2 is better than the first game in just about every way - much larger world to explore, and improvements to everything. The Might & Magic series is good except for the last few, and a similar type of game would be Wizardry 6 and 7.

Personally I think Gothic 2 is better than Gothic 3 (except for graphics of course), so that may be worth a look if you haven't tried it. Two Worlds 2 is somewhat similar, but does have some decent depth to weapon/magic crafting/upgrading. Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga is also worth a look.

If you don't mind old RPGs, then you could try the Eye Of The Beholder series (which plays similar to Legend of Grimrock which was an homage to that kind of game), Lands Of Lore: Throne of Chaos (the last great Westwood RPG), Ultima Underworld 1 and 2 (the second is best), Fallout 1 and 2, Menzoberranzan, Ravenloft, etc.

Happy hunting. :)

Might & Magic X: Legacy ... ok, it's new, but it's old school.

Get an emulator - hook up a controller and emulate yourself a copy of Megaman legends (one and two). It's RPG meets megaman. It's a bit pricey to buy the discs now, but that can still be had for a reasonable amount if you look hard enough on ebay.
<-- I am not biased.


Strictly PC gaming, Dreamfall was quite the gem (and still is) back in the day. With the new one coming out via crowd funding, now is the time to play it if you haven't.
Speaking of which - Wingcommander. Play it. It's even worth buying a joystick for.


Although not too terribly old, TitanQuest was one of those games that nobody played, but was completely awesome. This is best played with a friend.
Don't be fooled though - it's not just a diablo clone, it has some genuine great ideas.
