<A href="http://www.darkdisciples-rpg.com/">Dark Disciples</A> has recently updated to version 2.0 of the freeware, open ended and nontraditional fantasy CRPG. Here's a partial list of the features for the game:
<br>
<br>
<ul><li>Hold conversations with numerous characters</li><li>All quests are logged for future reference</li><li>A complete 'world' map providing names of important sites and places</li><li>A 'Might & Magic VI' style inventory management system</li><li>Fully featured thief skills - pick locks, remove traps, hide in shadows etc</li><li>Mostly non-linear gameplay</li><li>Multiple solutions to many obstacles - a locked door can be smashed open, picked, or opened via a key or 'knock' spell.</li><li>An automap function maps all the levels for you.</li><li>Some cool Midi tunes.</li><li>Monster AI - not amazing but it will do a few interesting tricks - for example, some monsters can open doors, others can't.</li></ul>
<br>
Sounds pretty decent to me, and still being updated. Not bad.

What I thought would always be neat is something sorta similiar to Arcanum, but not exactly.

It'd be like fantasy, but modern day/a bit into the future. Still knights and mages, but are 'modern'-like.

Potions in plastic liter bottles, swords made out of modern day Alloys, etc.

It'd be interesting, atleast.

Usual Trading Posts would be like Supermarkets and you could get that 1 liter bottle of Cure for $10. So basically, there is still a fantasy feel and magic to things, but it's incorporated with every-day things. Could make some interesting quests with that, too. Maybe make the people still talk in Olde Englishe, too. 'Thine computer hath crashed, milord.'

Not a bad diversion all in all. Sort of like Exile-lite.

Anyone still playing this? I've gotten pretty far, but have gotten stuck with the last few quests in the main module.

I finished this the other day, where are you stuck?

I never finished these quests, though:
Catch Drake the killer
Save the cursed village
Save the snowman
Find the tarot cards
