I'm looking for a goo/ old rpg game as my computer isnt very good. I need a good RPG that isn't too hard and doesn't need a really great computer. I'm looking at Diablo 2:LOD and it looks good, any others?

like the other guy said Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls 3. it kind of confusing but if u need to use an online faq. its really fun with lots of replay value and so much to do, you may not even get around to the replay :lol:

I would also suggest Titan Quest, Knights of the Old Republic, Neverwinter Nights I, and Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich.  As a bonus, you can pickup all of these games (other than Titan Quest) for $10-$15.

Planescape Torment, Fallout 1 and 2, Arcanum.

Great games if you look for sth new in the genre.

Eye of the Beholder, Might and Magic, Ultima are ultimate classics.

the following are must-haves: bg, bg2, fallout, fallout2, planescape: torment, kotor and kotor 2

i would put diablo and diablo 2 up there as well, except they're not really rpg. nwn is pretty good but not in par with the ones mentioned above. icewind dale and icewind dale 2 are similar to bg and bg2 but not nearly as deep. morrowind is almost up there. dungeon siege and dungeon siege 2 are good if you're just looking to kill some stuff. oblivion blows dogs. ok, it doesn't, but it's not as great as so many newbies say it is. if you want to go really old-school, might and magic, ultima, wizardry and betrayal at krondor are (were) awesome!

I read the other day that there's a mod for Oblivion (Oldlivion-I think thats how they spelled it); at anyrate I've always wanted to try Oblivion, but I've got a pretty low-end graphics card as well. Has anyone tried this mod.? Does it still give you a similar experience?

I'm a huge Diablo and Diablo II fan (Diablo II could still hold my attention for hours), and I recently played through Titan Quest (good game, but I have no desire to play it again), and have finally decided to try out an oldy but goody...Divine Divinity. I had never played this game til about a week ago. It's pretty awesome! I have a new addiction.

'Diablo' is an absolute must have, I played this game for ages until I got my new PC. The 'Baldurs Gate' series is also excellant and will give you hours and hours of play.

 

Somone suggested 'Titan Quest', but if your PC is old it wont be worth it. Don't worry, 'Titan Quest' is just a glossy 'Diablo'. I have finished TQ and was pretty much done with it, but I played D2 over, and over again. TQ may look better but Diablo was more fun.

Agreed. The fact that there is only one character really sucked. At least in D2 when you tried a new class you actually looked different. That killed the replay value.

I heard DD was a little gem but couldn't find it any where. Does it stand up by todays standards?

This is the man to listen to, especially if you've played a number of generic fantasy whatever top down RPGs in your time, and you're looking for something unique, brilliant, mindblowing and different

Never Winter Nights  is a great game based on the D&D Forgotten Realms.

Nox is an amazing game aswell. Created by the awesome Westwood before it was aquired. :)

If you're looking for a slow, paced, massive, breathing world:
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate 2
Ice Wind Dale
I've never played Planescape but I've heard it's very good - don't know what the gameplay's like though.

Very fast, hack and slash, linear gaming:
Diablo 1 & 2

Another pretty slow game, very open ended, and the height of immersion:
Morrowind!

Thanks a lot, great answers, would Morrowind run well on an older model computer (It runs XP and has 2 GHZ so it isn't that old but kinda sucks for gaming). Also I just finished the demo for Diablo and it's a lot of fun, kind of linear tho so what are some good games that are less linear then diablo, kind of like how oblivion is where you can be a thief, mage, fighter, etc. something open but with toned down graphics.

Morrowind will run.. The worst you have to worry about is not being able to have the make it pretty mods, which you still probably should be able to do. Morrowind and Oblivion are part of the same series.

Simple: Diablo 2. Classic.

It may be more of a hack and slash, but still.Â
