Well I'm in the mood for an RPG. I might just wait for Dragon Age to get anything but I was looking to see what you guys might recommend.


Typically, I like open world free roaming RPG's (or at least not completely linear) with a bit of action to the gameplay.

I liked The Witcher. Hated Oblivion. Love action RPG's like Diablo and Titan Quest.

Right now I'm considering picking up Risen, but I'm undecided. I enjoyed the demo. Other than that, I'm looking forward to Dragon Age and Torchlight.

Any other RPG's I should check out?

So what didn't you like about Oblivion? I've been playing Risen for a little while, and I love the game. The setting and everything really sucks you in. But it'll have some similarities to other open-world action RPG's, which is why I am reluctant to recommend it. But if you enjoyed the demo, you'd probably like the full game as well.

Well, I thought the world in Oblivion was pretty bland and I spent a lot of time wandering aimlessly. Just got boring to me. Maybe I was doing something wrong :P I guess it was the atmosphere. The Witcher just had a lot better atmosphere compared to Oblivion.

How are the bugs in Gothic 3 now? Pretty much fixed? Also, do they have an up to date demo somewhere?

Well I found the demo for Gothic 3... but it was posted in 2006. Downloading it anyway. Was hoping there would be an updated demo.

Was reading, apparently the latest fan patch fixes most of the issues with Gothic 3. Can anybody here confirm that?

I can confirm that most bugs are gone in Gothic 3, but I am not sure that youll like it... it is kinda "tame" in the world aspect, a bit like Oblivion, and often there are huge stretches without action

(which I respect, but is not exactly what you asked for)

Gothic is not a bad game, infact I kinda think it has some very interresting role playing steps towards PnP.

"hated Oblivion", Oblivion is my favourite game, but everyone has his own opinion, and I were you I'd try Risen and maybe Gothic 3.
