Space Rangers 2 !


...coming soon: Fallout 3 (end of month)

Dungeon Siege II is also a must if you have not played it yet. :-)

Haven't finished it yet, but I think I'll start it over again when I will :)

A couple of questions,, how do you know when you are finished a game ? Do you run out of quests or does the game retire you when you reach a certain level.. (31) ???

But when will it be available in English ?

If you liked Baldur's Gate and you aren't afraid of reading, you definitely have to play Planescape: Torment and Fallout 1/2.

Planescape has to be the CRPG game with the deepest story ever realized. If you play a high wisdom / high intelligence character, you can solve 80% of the quests without fighting. There are tons of dialog stat checks (Is your dexterity high enough to grab someone and actually break his neck before he can resist? Are you wise enough to spot when someone is lying to you?). The downside is that you have to like reading, because there's about 3 novels worth of text in that game. Built with the same engine as the Baldur's Gate/Icewind dale series. It's my favorite RPG game of all times, I've played it through 3 times (and still found new stuff!). Besides, how many games can you name where the goal of the game is to actually die? :grin:

Fallout 1/2 are also extremely well realized, allowing you to truly role-play a character. The Fallout 2 interface is a bit more polished though, so if you're going to only play one of the two start with it. The dialog choices are also very involved with lots of ways to solve quests. Here's one of my favorite dialog moment (you don't have to choose those dialog choices but I can't help myself whenever I do this quest):

Lloyd: "All right, I've hidden the cash under that grave here."
Me: "Ok Lloyd, dig it up."
Lloyd: "What? No way, I told you where the money is, I'm outta here!"
Me: "There are two kind of people in this world Lloyd. There are those with loaded guns and there are those who dig. I don't see a gun in your hands."
Lloyd: "All right! All right! I'll do it."
You watch as Lloyd carefully digs in the grave, pausing often to disarm several land mines and setting them aside. After a while Lloyd reveals a trap door with a ladder going down.
Lloyd: "I'm done, can I go now?"
Me: "Go down."
Lloyd starts to protest but thinks better of it. He climbs down the ladder.
Me: "Hey Lloyd, CATCH!"
You pick one of his land mine up and drop it down the hole. There is a loud explosion then you don't hear anything. :evil::rolleyes:

This is just one example, but generally the dialog choices are top notch.

Erm ok anyway, those are my two cents. If you like RPGs but you haven't played those games, you really owe it to yourself to do so, you're going to have a great time.

1) Planescape:torment for the storyline and world description
2) Morrowind for the freedom (much more then in BG) and atmosphere. (not Oblivion!!!)
3) Might and Magic 6,7,8 + Wizardry 8
4) Fall from Heaven: Amateur fantazy mod for Civilization IV:BTS.

Try Titan Quest if you haven't tried it, the quality is similar to King's Bounty although it is not turn based but real time RPG, also as a shooter try 'Infernal' I've just finished it and it is awesome and under-rated it is top notch FPS action with supernatural themes, try it... the power of hell at your command.:)

I would add:

Fallout 3 is like Oblivion - with all its minuses... so I am afraid that I won't be the only disappointed Fallout 1,2 fan.

I would also advise Dungeon Lords (will be DL 2 released soon, you trying the first game before will just give you the magical spice add-on magic)

RPG like turn based strategy that I would totally advise : Disciples 2 (if possible, than the full collection - all datadisks alltogether)
