I don't own many RPG's on PC. Only Fallout 3.
But hack n slash would be champions of norrath for ps2, arpg demons souls for ps3.
MMO: only played Guild Wars. Got addicted, quit, and am now afraid to try another one. I may cave and buy GW2 for looking so good tho.
i REALLY want to try the following games: Diablo 2, Baulder's Gate 2, Planescape, and Nox. However I don't want a physical copy of the game (i don't think D2 or Nox is downloadable), Baulder's Gate looks like i might not like the pause and play + party managing (I like fast paced games), and planescape looks fairly slow paced as well. Albeit i've never played an arpg where i had to manage a party so maybe i would like it. Out of those 4 which one would you all suggest i try?

Those aren't action rpgs , they're tactical rpgs (except for Diablo, which you might like , if you liked Norrath). You say you like fast paced games, so you probably won't like the tactical ones. They're combat systems are more strategic, like a game of chess. You have to pause alot and give commands/position characters. Planescape has alot of reading and a great story though.You should try Vampire:Bloodlines, which is an arpg, but it also has very good dialog and roleplaying elements too. Possibly Gothic 1 or 2 (heard 3 wasn't as good) or Risen. Mabye Neverwinter Nights, you only control 1 character, but can have some followers, and theirs alot of great custom modules, even though the original campaign is nothing to write home about. . http://nwvault.ign.com/fms/TopRated.php?content=modules
It's a good mp game to team up with others and go out adventuring too. But you don't have a million kids running around like an mmo.
Thanks. I think i'm gonna try VtM:B. Hoping it will go on sale on steam even though i don't think it will. Looked at NwN a while back buti'm not sure i like the pause and play idea. I think i'll find a cheap game from GoG like planescape to try it first and if i like it i will try other games. I wish Nox was on GoGwith servers up and running. Heard the multiplayer was fantastic.
Keep in mind, Planescape has ALOT of reading and dialog. It's almost like half book, half game. But as i said before, the writing, story and characters are very well done. Pump your wisdom and intelligence on this one. And i agree with the other poster about d&d games, and that they should be strictly turn based as opposed to real time with pause, to stay more true to the p&p roots.
As much as i love Baldurs and the IE games, combat can get a little disorganized and turn into a cluster-**** at times.
