Nobody has any suggestions at all?

Just Cause 2 has far more replay value.

Look at it this way.

Just Cause 2 is a crazy GTA style clone with fantastic visuals and plenty to see and do.

Borderlands is a FPS. It's billed as a FPS/RPG but it has very, very, very, very little to do with RPGs at all.

That's a little unfair considering the last couple of patches have fixed most of the issues, with a further patch due out this month to fix the remaining issues.

Not only that, but fanmade mods do away with many o the bugs anyway.

Fallout: NV is very much worth a purchase, a play through, a second play through and even a third, fourth and fifth. User made mods available at www.newvegasnexus.com make the game absolutely awesome and blow away any single player RPG experience currently available.

Hi guys and gals,

The 'Game Request' thread over on the general gaming section seems to be flooded with console gamers and I've not yet had any response at all amidst the sea of "What do I get? GTA IV or InFamous manzzz!?!?!oneone!1".

So, I'm hoping there's a better class of people here! ;)

I've got a bit of time on my hands, and want to dedicate some of it to PC gaming.

So, I'm looking for a PC game. Not a specific game but a specific 'type' of game, or at least something as close as I can get.

I've got a craving for a strategy OR RPG (or Strategy RPG!) game that, at it's core, requires you to capture/recruit characters, train them up and then use them on 'your side'. Ideally in a 'building an army' sort of way, or building a 'squad' but with each recruited character having it's own specific 'profile' and not just "You have recruited 1000 swordsmen...etc." unless the character can be promoted to the head of a department, unit or 'office' within the game. Whether this is first person, top down, isometric, third person - it doesn't matter. Whether it's a strategic shooter, turn based shooter, total RPG - I don't mind. Ideally, I'd love it to have a modern or WW2 style setting, but it's flexible providing the recruitment is in there somewhere!

It doesn't have to have great graphics, though I'd like it to have 'some' i.e. not text based.

Now, I know that this is going to (hopefully, anyway!) generate a huge list - so I'll list the 'main' ones I've already played:

Jagged Alliance Series
Fallout Series (though the character recruitment is on too small a scale)
Mass Effect Series (but as above with Fallout)
Dragon Age Series (but as above with Fallout)
Romance of The Three Kingdoms Series

I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but those above are ones I've definitely played and I'll let you know if there are any others as and when the suggestions come in!
