good RPG game ... not wow! :)

You got Steam? If you decide to play Silkroad, hit me up... my Steam alias is Downgraded286. I might even plvl you, as much as I can anyways... I just deleted my main character cause I screwed up on it, so I'm running around with a level 12 right now, heh.
 
I just want to throw in another vote for Titan Quest and the Immortal Throne expansion. I've gotten lots of gameplay out of this little gem simply due to the fact that the combination of classes, weapon types, and special socketable items. Check out TitanCalc for an idea of what the skills are like.

You can usually get the Titan Quest Gold edition for like $10 and it's totally worth that much. Just know that it is very much a "hack-n-slash" type action RPG and not something slower paced with alternative interaction dialogues like Oblivion or whatnot. You grind through the game killing hoards of baddies as quickly as possible to get to the next level. The gameplay can get very repetitious, but the gameplay variety I mentioned earlier combined with the "decent" graphics, enemy uniqueness, and interesting story keep you hooked for longer than you would expect.

ok I just installed it .. i am gonna mess around for a little bit just to see if it can hold my attention for more than like 15 minutes.

what server are you on just in case?
 
I play on Iris. Good luck trying to get on though, the website that I mentioned before is showing that Iris has a 3.7% probability to connect. Try again later on in the day, or just run the game and alt-tab out of it and do some other stuff.

Here's the website I was talking about. As you can see, the servers are almost always completely loaded... I don't know what changes the Probability to Connect, but once it gets to ~40 you have a pretty good chance of getting in within like 5 minutes.

Again, are you on Steam? It will be really easy to talk through there.
 
There are no good RPG's nowadays. Not even Dragon Age. :(

Titan Quest is lots of fun, but it's still a Diablo clone = not really RPG.

I added you to friends on steam ...

this is what I am finding out .. the past couple years have seemed kinda slow. all the top games are years and years old
 
I really liked the Witcher and can't wait for the second one to come out...
 
this whole wait thing on silkroad is fun lol ... going on 30 minutes
 
how is silkroad in the later levels when the item mall becomes necessary?
 
lol if you can log in to a server should be more of a worry... spent 2 hours today and didnt get into a server
 
ya I use to play GW all the time it was really good. I am waiting on GW2 and hopefully they dont ruin it :)

I will look in the ME and silkroad and demigod ....see what they look like

Its not ruined imo. Not sure about the economy though, since that is what the devs intentionally planned ar first.. to root out grinding and mass farming

I still log on from time to time, and do RA or AB with obscure builds for the lols.
 
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2, especially due to the amazing player created content.
Knights of the Old Republic (The sequel is decent, but not even close to the first one).
Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age: Origins

(Yes, I am a Bioware whore, but with a good reason. Their games are downright amazing)
 
Not multiplayer but I found Gothic 3 to be a very good RPG and the best part is it can be played in 1st person. Two Worlds is also a good single player RPG that can be played in 1st person via a mod. Also Arx Fatalis and Morrowind.. again single player.. but these embody great RPG elements like few can. Also Dark Messiah of Might and Magic is good.

( sorry I don't play multiplayer games but if your stuck without an internet connection these fill the RPG lust nicely)
 
I've just started playing Borderlands and I didn't like it at first, but it's now grown on me. I really like it.

Same here, but I have a hard time classifying it as RPG. Still worth a shot though!
 
aion? im downloading it now lol
 
aions a grind fest. wasted 300 hours of my life on that.
 
300 hours? lmao. back in the original everquest (well Kunark) I knew people with 120+ days played game time. on one character. I had around 50. 100x 24 = 2400 hours played. now _that_ was a game!

ya from what i hear it was amazing ... but that was back before i got into MMOs :shadedshu

now it is just too late for all the old ones that were amazing...

I still dont see how people log that many hours on one toon. I wish i could then my guys would always be bad ass :) I normally play about 50-100 hours on a toon and make something new instead of keeping it going and maxing one guy out
