I LOVE runescape. I'm more of an old school player but I enjoy it all.

Golden Sun 1&2
Fire Emblem
Minsh Cap
Shining Force
should keep you busy for a while.
The Pokemon games are also incredibly good time wasters if you really get into the breeding the ultimate pokemon side of things.
Should probably add Advance Wars to the list.
Fire Emblem
Contra: Alien Wars
Final Fantasy Tactics
Tactics Ogre
Metroid Zero Mission
Phantasy Star Collection
Wario Ware
Mega Man X Zero
Mario & Luigi
Dragon Warrior I & II
Dragon Warrior III
Advance Wars 2
Castlevania games
EDIT: There are other good ones, but they are older, pre-advance games. I can list if you want.

Gamecube
If not for the Resident Evil series, the GC would be worthless junk. :D
Nah, the cube actually has more good games on it than the other two systems, though PS2 is beginning to rival it with the past year.

Funny, I have 20 with hte crossbow and can kill someone that hasn't noticed me. Sometimes. I can hit them very often with my bow (40 skill), but I only have 24 dex so I can't use a good bow. Crossbows use strength now, so I have one that does 90 damage.

one orc, yes.
Too bad they came in groups and makes then far too deady unless we use "cheap" tactics.
That is the problem with Gothic for me, its not the enemies are hard but the game decides to just throw groups at the player that makes combat and exploration too anoying.
By the time you are expected to fight more than one orc at a time, you shouldn't have any problem. Of course, I killed the entire siege on the castle (though I did it one or two orcs at a time).
I'm getting ready to go there now at level 24 with Beliar's Claw and some good armor from Raven's Elite. I bet I get raped.
Could you post a screenshot of the new armors you can get in Night of the Raven?
Actually, this is easier, mate: http://worldofgothic.com/gothic2/?go=addonruestungen
The new armors are Pirate Armor (non pirates that aren't your friends won't talk to you), Ravens' Armor (which is Raven's Guard's Armor, not his. You can't take his. This armor marks you as a bandit, so kill on site for all non bandit factions), Light Bandits Armor (marks you as bandit) and Circle of Water Armor (this is part of a secret faction, so you shouldn't wear it in towns). There may be more on that list which are new, but I played a mage, so I wouldn't be sure. The ones I listed are all gained through the add-on world or add-on only quest. You get them all through gameplay, except Ravens' Armor, but you get that in an obvious, unlocked chest right before Raven.

And so the "cheap tactics".
I possibly could do the same if I had the patience (once I got anoyed over having to run by 10 orcs just to get in the castel and simply wiped that camp using such a trick) but I dont find that "fun", I dislike such tactics because they are cheap and simply a exploit of the weak AI and pathfinder.
For that I just use cheat codes, less boring.
Its not cheap tactics, it works. Well, it used too. AI is smarter now. A lot.
Anyway, I did do it one at a time, yes, but that's because I was far, far below the level expected to kill them now.
As to the person who asked, I'll post the armors in a little bit. I got rid of the light bandits armor, though, but that's fine, its not too interesting.

I'm not going to read all of the above, but I have two things to comment on:
1) Morrowind is good.
But only after you download 60 or more mods to make it so, including ones that drastically alter NPCs depth. I played a bit of Morrowind long ago without hte mods, and got bored after a while. With the mods it is quite great. However, Bethesda did not make any of those mods. Even most of Morrowind's faithful fands use extensive mods to increase the depth of NPCs as well as graphics (can't blame Bethesda for aged graphics though). Also to make the gameplay a little more robust and interesting, and to alter the rather lame leveling system. However, Arena and Redguard are great. I think, as long as the team tries to make a game more focused on story or NPCs, they can do it. I think.
2) I want Fallout to either be turn based or, if it must be real time, for it to have actual action to it, not just watching your characters kill everyone else, occasionally pausing and issuing commands. Turn based tends to allow more tactical combat with harder opponents and more modifiers to attacks.
However, if its turnbased, you should be able to control ALL of your NPC buddies, otherwise it just becomes boring. If you still can only control yourself, it might as well be real time for all the control you have over it.

Well it would be non sensical to remake it using the old formula, which is now serioiusly outdated.
That's why they update it.
The did it with Wizardry, and that turned out fantastically. They could have done the same to Bard's Tale and I would have had to change my underwear
-
1. yes, I was merely making a ludicrous example.
2. perhaps, but I still think the PC is a cannibal
3. you gain levels yes, but its not until your in the 20's before you have a reasonable chance against orcs & so on.
4. it was a major quest yet, you'd think they could have made it a little more exiting than that? I mean Divine Divinity had more varied quests and thats a Diablo clone.
But you say that the expansion is much harder. Now, my version is not the US issue(it comes with a swedish quickstart for example) so Im thinking that maybe its actually different and implements some of that increased difficulty.
I mean, I had no problem with the combat in Bloodlines for example so Im not completely inept.
No, all of hte versions are the same unless you buy Die Nacht des Raben seperately. Only Gothic II Gold comes with DNDR and you have to install it seperately.
I'm really not sure why you are having difficulty. You should be able to kill orcs at level 15 or so.
-
Thanks, it sounds great. I'm looking forward to it, especially the 3rd person combat. I was afraid it would be a first person shooter or worse, a Morrowind combat clone.
There is no third person combat according to the PCGamer article. An the combat will pretty much be like morrowinds - you point your gun at the baddie, click, and then the stats decide if you actually hit and the damage you did.
-
Im amazed how simplistic the game can be. Specificly the "big" quest where you are to prove the smithy innocent. All you do is walk up to the guy who reported him and bribe/bash him so you get his diary and you're done! hooray!
Its quite apparent that the devs prioritised something else than the story, its more of an excuse than a reason so to say.
..AND it promotes cannibalism. "raw meat" from a human enemy? Mmmhh, Im surprised we cant take their "hide" aswell... or spend 5 learning points, so we can make trophies of their ears and fingers. Simply awful!
p.s
and I agree with the gamespy reviewer completely, the advancement pace is much too slow and difficult for us who arent hack n slash master that can juggle potions and spells left and right while fighting off a horde of blacktrolls.
....
There's only one black troll in the game.
Even with NOTR I rarely used potions. The people you took raw meat off of could have picked it up. Like you did.
You actually advance as fast as most CRPGs.
As for the quest, what did you expect? Quest rarely are all that complicated in RPGs. And nearly all RPGs have a few fetch quest.
-
My first was SW-Dark Forces II, but it was BG & Icewind that got me hooked.
I don't think Dark Forces is considered a cRPG.
I never played it, but from what I saw it was just an FPS - apparently a really good one though.
-
Mkreku, you really seem to have high hopes for this game. Why?
It's by the guy who made Wizardry 6 and 7. We should all have high hopes.
I hope the 'random' number generator isn't so hellishly evil though.
-
Looks...different. And sounds vaguely like McFarlane's Spawn, which is not a good sign. On the other hand, it's done by old B-employees so I except quality.
Thanks for the info.
Whee, a first person RPG <3
They say its basically Diablo in 3d and first person, with a new setting. The shooting is apparently stat based, not reflex based, and is used to cast spell like abilities.
If they put in some good exploring and/or a strong story, I'll probably get it.
Sadly, they said its fairly linear and it uses crappy randomly-generated levels
-
Yea, I just read it. Its pretty bad, but it sadly wasn't as funny as I was hoping.
I did note that all of the pictures that were with the review (those that came at the same date) were of the first three or four hours of gameplay. All of them.
-
This one guy who reviewed it at GameSpy gave it 2 stars. And his review was full of such misinformation that you knew he didn't even play it past chapter 1. IN fact, I doubt he even got that far in Ch. 1.
Haha, I use that review as my "worst review ever"-example, everytime the subject pops up in a discussion. It's so apparent he never played the game. He almost sounded like Volourn did when he tried to claim he played Gothic 2 in another long forgotten thread
I must locate this review and read it.

Ultima 6, and it was fantastic. I'd only really played adventure games until then. Alas, the floppies stopped working years ago, and I never bought the CD compilation because they'd made no effort to make Ultima 7 work in Windows, so it just seemed like a con.
The Quest for Glory games are probably my favourite - and by far the RPG I've spent most time replaying. I'm a sucker for epic journeys.
I still need to get the first four Quest for Glory games.
You can use dosbox for all of the old Ultimas. I do.

Now Im level 19, just finished the mining quests and finally I feel like my characters is on par with the toughness of the enemies.. the smaller ones, that is... I still get pwnd bigtime by all teh 1337 orks
..just the fact that all we talk about is the combat, makes you think about how boring and generic the story is.
Or its because you get stuck with the combat, not the story.
-
Im now level 15 with 60% One-handed and 40 strength, and the combat control is starting to feel ok now. Not good, but adequate. I still dont stand a chance against Orcs or the thugs in the lighthouse.
thugs in lighthouse: i've heard level 20, 25 for sure.
orcs: i was killing them at level 10??? of course, only one at a time.
taks
I killed the bandits at level 10, but I was a mage and fire arrow had a longer range than real arrows.
As a merc this play through, I'm level 17 and they rape me. But I'm using NOTR, so that's probably why.
I can't even begin to hurt an orc, and I KNOW I could kill them at level 12 or so before, if I could seperate them. But again, I was a mage. I kind of wish I was a mage this time, but the fact that most of the addon is Chapter 1 and 2, when your magic is mediocre, gave me the impression it would be too hard.
-
Also, when fighting a friendly humanoid in Gothic/Gothic 2 you have a choice if you want to just beat that person up or actually kill him. The fight ends when your opponent (or you!) have 0 hp, and then you can decide whether to perform the killing blow or just walk away. It works well, and there's even a scroll you can purchase that wipes the memory of the person you just fought, so it's possible to beat them unconscious, steal all their money and possesions, erase their memory with the scroll, and still be friends with them when they wake up
Yeah. That was great.
Make sure no one else sees you though.
Unfortunately magic and arrows are instakill. Which sucks for me, since I usually play a mage with no points in physicalness.
However, this play through as a merc is nice <3
-
What does this add-on add? Anything worth replaying for?
-
Well, mentioned a few hours ago in another topic, but always nice to remember it
Never got a console so I can't say.
Mmm, Bard's Tale. I really need to track down the second and third. I only have the disc for hte first.
I feel more like playing Wizardry 6 and 7 actually, but I don't know if I want to deal with the bonus point not-so-random generator.

Is this from the demo or is the game out?
