January 21, 200521 yr After playing Fallout 2... Fallout was slow, dull, and way too easy. Both games were ridiculously easy once you discovered how to aim for the eyes. Groin hits were rather amusing too... " - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
January 21, 200521 yr Actually, both Fallout's became ridiculously easy once I found my first automatic weapon. Weird thing is that the same thing happened in Wasteland.. Must be difficult to balance automatic weapons or something. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
January 21, 200521 yr Author Thanks for all the suggestions. Feel free to post your other recommendations while I try to hunt down some of these games... For crpgs: Fallout (the first one) and Arcanum are the way to go. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Forgive the ignorant, but what is the C in CRPG?

January 21, 200521 yr Forgive the ignorant, but what is the C in CRPG? Thats OK, you are forgiven Oh, and the explanation: It's subject of much debate, but the general concensus seems to be, that the C in CRPG is the very same C as you find in PC, i.e. Computer, not to be confused with the C in Console. CRPG type games on Consoles sometimes uses the J designation (JRPG) easy to remember as the the J in Console... Confused ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

CRPG type games on Consoles sometimes uses the J designation (JRPG) easy to remember as the the J in Console... Confused ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The J in JRPG stands for Japanses, because until Morrowind and KOTOR, the only RPGs on console were Japanese. Any north american games on console the developers considered RPGs were actually classified as "Action Adventure" JRPGs used to be like interactive novels, but now are more like interactive movies, with the addition of too many FMVs and voice acting.

January 22, 200521 yr Well, I'm still in shock that Darque played FO2 before FO1....that's just evil. And no Darque, not Resident Evil.

January 22, 200521 yr I played FO before FO2, and still liked FO2 more. Well, except the ending. Same here. To me FO2 was truly an improved FO.

January 22, 200521 yr Well, I'm still in shock that Darque played FO2 before FO1....that just evil. And no Darque, not Resident Evil. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wouldn't have even played FO2 at all if a friend hadn't let me borrow it

As for the rest of you 'FO 2 before 1' blasphemers...
January 22, 200521 yr I'll probably hear some flak for this but, I always thought Sierra's "Return to Krondor" would be a good starter rpg for someone.

January 22, 200521 yr *makes targeted shot to Number Man's eyes with upgraded Plasma rifle* Ouch. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
January 23, 200521 yr As for Planescape..... meh. As somebody else pointed out it's an interactive novel about quasi-spiritual navel-gazing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whatever you do, don't listen to these blasphemers. Some people just can't appreciate a good story. <_< But then, as has been said, definetely don't start out with Planescape: Torment, either. Try Fallout, if you're not into Fantasy. Best non-Fantasy RPG ever made. I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
January 23, 200521 yr The posters who steered you towards Jagged Alliance 2 was on the right path. That game is an excellent blend of CRPG and turn based combat -- with a dash of strategic planning blended in. Other recommendations: Gothic & Gothic 2 -- Probably the best CRPGs in recent years Baldur's Gate 2 -- Closer ito KOTOR than you may realize with its game rules. Arx Fatalis Wizardry 8 Fallout & Fallout 2 Deus Ex -- Kind of a First-person shooter and RPG hybrid. Its Sci-Fi as well so that may go over well with you.
