Suggestions For New 3rd-Person RPG Games

[Cabranth]

Howdy all.

Ok, here's the deal. I'm a huge fan of the 3rd-person RPG game. The only other games I have on my PC are Turn-Based Strategy like Lords of the Realm 2 (old), and the Total War series (new). My problem is that I'm pretty much played out on all my RPGs. So how about some suggestions? Anybody here know any games I don't have yet? The game's age doesn't really matter since I've always been more interested in gameplay than bells-and-whistles like fancy graphics.

Here's what I have in my library at the moment:

Diablo (all)
NeverWinter Nights (all)
Titan Quest (all)
Dungeon Siege (all)
Divine Divinity + Beyond Divinity
Darkstone
Dungeon Lords Collector's Edition
Sacred + expansion
Fate
Silverfall
Overlord

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try Last Chaos... its a pretty cool game and even better than that it is a free download and free to play!

Hi Wolfe.

Sorry I guess I should've mentioned I don't care for MMORPGs.

Oopsie.

Those all look like a lot of my favorites. Have you tried Oblivion? I never played any of the other Elder Scrolls, but I love Oblivion.

[Cabranth]

Yes, I have tried several of the first-person RPGs including Oblivion. I just can't get used to the visual and control interfaces for those kinds of games. The view makes me claustrophobic, and the movement controls are incredibly akward to me.

That's why I'm trying to find some 3rd-person RPG I haven't heard of yet. I thought I'd have a little better luck, since I'm not exactly someone who keeps up with all the "news" about what games are out and what's coming soon. I usually don't hear about games unless somebody tells me, or just by accident like with Sacred.

To me the Baldurs Gate series is still by far the best RPG ever, and since you have played the NWN series the gameplay will be familiar, and it is visually similar to Diablo. It is a slow moving game though since it is very very heavily story based, and will probably take about 400 hours to do the series if you want to do most of the side quests and get some good exploring done. Also in similar vein to that is the Icewind Dale series, but that one is faster paced. Also slightly less fantasy but still good was Planescape: Torment. Perhaps you have already played them though, they are older games, like 98 or so, but BG is typically credited with making the computer RPG genera popular, so its like the grand dad of the games you listed.

I highly recommend Mass Effect. I got done with it a month or so ago, and it was really fun. It was a nice break from the fantasy setting to go to a sci-fi setting. It is made by some of the same people who have done the Baldurs Gate games and Neverwinter Nights, so basically by people who know what they are doing.
