Dragonflight Season 4 Content Update Notes
Dragonflight Season 4 Content Update Notes
Best Villain in the History of WoW
MMO-Champion
I need a new game, something to give me a solo rpg fix.
Give that I'd like a game that is
1. Relatively modern (last ~8 years), the graphics don't have to be stellar, but bad animation/ugly graphics break immersion.
2. Solo
3. Obtainable
4. For PC
5. The story is good. This is the most important part, something along the lines of Elder Scrolls or Witcher, not some trash plot around with combat is built, but a story with meat.
Any suggestions?

Alas, all played well and often, Except Dragon Age 2, one of the few games I've just uninstalled halfway through due to boredom. Originally Posted by Tarien

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
The prequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, and the sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat, are also very good.
Far Cry 2 is alright.
While my suggestions don't have a lot of the RPG elements from games like Oblivion or Morrowind, they do have that "open world" feel about them. STALKER is also one of the hardest series I've ever played.
Just throwing this out there...

Do you think Baldurs Gate 2 aged well enough to be enjoyable now? KOTR, for instance, is a great game, but feels dated by modern standards.

Gothic 2 + addon

2011-08-09, 04:13 PM #9I agree that KOTOR hasn't aged well, but it's mostly due to aesthetic factors. The gameplay is still very solid. Originally Posted by Maharishi

Story is a huge deal in the game, and you'll often find yourself doing a ton of side-quests. I can't stress how amazingly badass that game is.I mostly play fighting games these days.

I was going to suggest The Witcher 2...
Maybe you should try the FPS RPGs like Fallout (or you can deep into roleplaying and play unarmed/melee weapons only).
Edit:...you said Fallout...
Two Worlds 2.

While there are some great games from earlier gen systems, alas its not what I was looking for. Originally Posted by DarkMagician

Played both, found witcher 1 a little better than witcher 2, which surprised me. Originally Posted by papare33

Oh yeah, Baldur's Gate 2 is a must. HOURS and HOURS of stuff to do and you shouldn't get bored.

There's not been a lot of CRPGs within the past decade that you haven't already played. Oblivion and Fallout would be the best. I'd really suggest getting a PS2 and playing through as many of the Final Fantasies as possible. All worth the time to play, minus maybe 11 now.

Gothic 4 isn't to bad imo aswell.

I once knew of a game named Sacred (1/2) - last time I tried sacred 2 there were so many glitches and bugs that I gave up.
