recently, i bought Fallout 3 (too late, huh? :P), and after i finish it twice, it disappoints me like DAMN!

1st, we cant continue gameplay after the game ends, unlike oblivion, and the max lvl is 20, wtf?!?!?

i need good RPG recomendation, which we can still continue gameplay after the game ends, the monster respawns, and high max lvl...

games that i enjoyed soo much: Oblivion and Mass Effect... is there any other games like those??

If you want to steer away from MMO's with a medieval flavor and try something space related. Eve-online is a good free MMO, they have 10-day free trials available. Its definitely different than your standard MMO and its got a steep learning curve. I've played 2 toons since 03' and 04' and I enjoy it.

Its definitely ...harder than most MMO's - actually i'd say its the hardest i've played. It can be down right brutal at times. If you stick to empire space, run missions or mine you'll be fine. Go to low sec and 0.0 and/or now through wormholes and you'd better have plenty of skill pts to back yourself up.

Oh - gaining "experience" is in the form of skill points which are calculated according to your attributes (learning, intelligence, memory, etc) and determine how long it takes to train a skill such as spaceship command, gunnery, advance weapon upgrades, carrier.... etc. Beautiful graphics, they just released an expansion for it too.

fyi - if you like professions and crafting things - well... EveOnline is WAAAAY more complicated in that respect compared to something like WoW or Warhammer. Just a quick example. You can build practically any ship you can buy on the market - there's a catch. It takes 1 - a blueprint, 2 - manufacturing skills, 3 - minerals (there are 10+ types) and plenty of them too, 4 - time. Thats for the basic tech 1 ships... your average run of the mill frigate through battleship. Now if you want a tech 2 ship (most common best ingame ships) you'll need advanced skills which take months to train, your own space station parked at a moon somewhere, component array, ship building array, special components apart from minerals... you getting the picture? Its a lot more complicated and thats what makes it more fun!

You'll find the gaming crowd is international, USA, Russia, Europeans, mostly - and they are a older crowd as well. I'd say average is 30+. You won't find many kids playing this one. In the end it hardly matters, this isn't a terribly social game - not like WoW anyway. Sure, you'll run missions with other people and make friends along the way - but you'll find you have to be careful who you trust. There are a lot of pirates out there and what they do is legal. I should know :twisted:

Hey man ( Cyphus07), really nice rig. And the pictures are just great. If you could, can you post some pictures of the ASUS monitor as I'm either going with that one or the Acer 22" and I can't really decide between the two so it comes down to which one looks better. Could you give me the model number too? Thanks

Thanks :) The monitor is a Asus VK222H, and here is a pic for you.

Cyphus, we got very similar rigs. How you liking your whole set-up so far? Also did you have any problems running 3dmark, mine says my processor is a pentium 3. I think its because I am running Vista.

Well so far so good. Things are running smoothly and the OC of 5% is working just fine. Ran a few tests, everything checks out. I might try for 3.0ghz, but no higher. I really don't need anything that fast for the games I play. Crysis runs fine with only the graphics oc'd. I didn't have any issues running 3dmark06 - basic version from cnet downloads, but i'm on good ole XP as you may have read.

How's yours runnin?

sweet, thank you for the replies :)

Also - my speedstep was disabled 0.o ... /dunno

I have a new cpu/mobo - q9400 @2.66 oc'd @2.8 - Evga 750i sli ftw

CPU-z and OCCT are showing my cpu to be underclocking when not under load. oc'd @ 2.8 and idle is 2.1ghz, a 21% decrease. The overclock of 2.8 comes back when under load. I run some OCCT cpu tests and after 6min (min test) everything is fine and it ran at 2.8.

Is underclocking normal? I didn't know that ever happend... i'm new to the technical stuff.

Thanks for the input

My first attempt at building my own system - went rather well (i read the directions) The case isn't all that heavy really, and the installation was straight forward. Cable management is pretty good. I must say i'm quite pleased with my first effort. "I love it when a plan comes together!"

Cooler Master HAF 932 case

Asus 22" 2ms monitor

EVGA 750i sli ftw motherboard

Yorkfield Quad Core Q9400 2.66ghz OC'd @2.8ghz cpu

EVGA gtx 260 core 216 gpu

Corsair TX850w PSU

Corsair XMS2 4 gig ddr2 800mhz ram

Cooler Master Hyper Z600R air cooler

3Dmark06 score - 14,732

Runs Crysis Warhead @ 30-40fps 1650x1080 enthusiast settings - not bad

Runs two Eve-Online clients both with highest settings @ 100+fps avg.

Using onboard gigabyte LAN and Realtek HD sound - good enough for me.

Windows XP sp3

A little TLC
