Best PC RPG of 2009 ?

Any ideas ?

Drakensang?

well you got dragon age, alpha protocol and risen coming out soon

I'm still playing Fallout 3 and I'm waiting for Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 2.

risen got 84/100 on one of the critic, but from my point of view, the gameplay/graphic looks outdated, I don't know about storyline/env setting, but within a week, people will post their reviews soon, it is released in 6 days.

Besides Dragone Age, there is alpha protocol, but I dont know how it will live up to be. From all the video/preview I watched, it doesnt really have much replayability values. there seemed to be some intense combat/dialogue, but no freeroaming or exploration.

Fallout 3 with all 5 dlc is packed into GOTY andwill be released soon, but then again, fallout 3 is 2008 RPG, not 2009.

and that is about it, I dont consider MMO as RPG(any game that doesnt have choice-consequence, but hack & slash...is not what I consider RPG game).

Drakensang?

yup, Drakensang gets my vote.

if kings bounty armored princess is to be released this year i'm inclined to say thatadamosmaki

it's already out, just no English version. sadly it probably never will be an English release; yeah, it's certainly the most likely candidate but I don't get to play it.

as of now so far, Drakensang.

Don't worry, there will be an English version. Last time with KB : TL also the Russian version was released 5-6 months before the English version. They have now created a English website and there are screenshots of English version out there like :

thanks for the heads up! I noticed KB:TL via your thread. now the difference is that with TL I didn't anticipate the game, so didn't mind the 5-6 months between original and English release...now the WAIT for AP is terrible^^"

he he ... I had to endure a big wait after the Russian release of KB, glad to see more people in the same boat as me this time:twisted:

naval

indeed! and we have a nice little boat this time around I think.

Well if you guys really want KB: AP, you can import it from Russia, theres an English Mod available however a very bare translation, the guy who made it said he did it in 6 hours (so much text to translate its a wonder how he did it in that time).

I'll just wait for the official release hopefully it really does come.

As for best PC RPG it might be one of these:

Dragon Age

Divinity 2

Drakensang

Risen

Keep forgetting about divinity 2..Think that may be 2010..Not much has been said about it yet..

definetly Divinity 2: Ego Draconis

Dragon Age.When it comes out.I have faith in Bioware.

Waiting on Borderlands and Dragon Age before even trying to answer.

Drakensang for sure. Especially now that it's $5 on D2D.

Every time somebody says Fallout 3 in a RPG thread, a part of me dies laughing and the other part facepalms.
There's even "2009" written, and Fallout 3 is a 2008 game. Meh.
We still have to see the upcoming RPGs, by the way.

If its between Drakensang and King's Bounty: The Legend. I'd go with King's Bounty followed by Drakensang.

Any ideas ?

King's bounty is basically Heroes of Might and Magic but without player-controlled cities. Qualifies as TBS moreso than RPG imo. This year has been really bad for RPGs so far, the best I can think of is the various Fallout3 expansions

Dragon Age: Origins, Divinity 2: Ego Draconis and Risen, which I just pre-ordered. This will be a legendary year for PCRPGs if all comes right. All these 3 look absolutely, solidly amazing!

Risen now on October 2, Dragon Age in November and the US version of Divinity 2 in December. Alas, I'll have a very busy last quarter saving those worlds... but I will make the effort. ;)

EDIT: to say that Risen won't almost definitely be playable this year is an unfair statement. How can someone "pre-conclude" that, if the game hasn't even been launched yet? Based on Gothic 3? If so, that is completely biased. Pun aside, Jowood is out of the game now. Of this game, at least. And Gothic 1 and 2 and Night of The Raven were precious gems of a very, very rare species. And completely playable from the very beginning.

Do a thousand marvellous things, they don't care. Screw up once, they will always remember that...

So much mention for Drakensang that it made me go buy it from D2D a while ago. Haven't played it yet, but my vote goes to Drakensang for some reason. *brainwashed*CrazyKilljoy117

don't do that... we have more than enough people making claims about games not yet released. Drakensang is released and make your call after actually playing it.

Drakensang, I guess.

It's really between Drakensang, Dragon Age Origins, Alpha Protocol and Last Remnant. Maybe Borderlands, but so many people are gonna jump at that and claim it isn't an RPG the moment it comes out. Risen almost definitely won't be playable this year. So, we can't tell yet, but I would say that Dragon Age will be the best this year. But maybe that's just cause I miss Baldur's Gate.kieranb2000

Dragon Age is DnD, correct?pvtdonut54

no, dnd belongs to Atari. Bioware are on their own to create a fantasy universe this time. However, I think they'll be doing a great job, satisfaying their old faithfuls and new recruits through Mass Effect (maybe precisely because there's no dnd this time around).

I do mean universe. forgotten realms is part of the whole Dnd deal.

I would really love to say "Diablo III" but I fear I'll be 30 before this game comes out... /sigh.

I'm gonna have to say let's wait until Borderlands hits before making a call. I guess that has the self given title of RPS (Roleplaying Shooter), but Fallout 3 would be in the same boat.

On that note, Fallout 3 was a good game, but nowhere near perfect nor near the top of my RPG list, so I can't agree that it takes the cake for best RPG of 2009. It was good for one playthrough, had an abysmally small number of ending choices, and was way too short.

I'm fine with that :) But several people have been throwing it into this topic, so I had to respond.
