Arcane
I could have asked this in the ESF forums, but I'm sure I would've received a response like "Just close your eyes while playing Oblivion and pretend you're involved in a deep, engrossing storyline", so I'll ask this here instead. I'm looking for some good (or classic) RPG's to tide me over until the middle of next year. Age and graphics aren't a factor as long as the gameplay holds up. I generally dislike JRPG's (though the Shining Force series was ok), so I'll pass on those. Anyway, here's a list of RPG (or RPG-like) games that I own off the top of my head, to pre-empt some suggestions (not in numerical order):
1. Starflight
2. Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday
3. Temple of Elemental Evil
4. Baldur's Gate I and II
5. Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2
6. Fallout 1 and 2
7. Morrowind and Oblivion (groan)
8. Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2
9. Icewind Dale 1 and 2
10. Fable (uggh)
11. Wasteland (though I no longer have it)
I just purchased Arcanum, and I plan on getting Planescape: Torment at some point on Ebay. I already have Neverwinter Nights 2 on my plate, so I'm looking for one or two more CRPG suggestions.
I have noticed, thanks to one of the stickied posts, that there's a website that allows you to download old/abandonware games. I remember using Underdogs about 5 years ago and I got hit with a virus; I'm sure its probably safer now, but is it generally safe to surf that site (I use Firefox)? Though if I do see an ad showing a hot chick with a nice rack, I will HAVE to click on it.
Also, will I need any additional software (emulators or whatever) to play the older games? I recall downloading an older game years ago and it ran like a speed demon. Anyway, thanks in advance for any suggestions yous' guys will be able to provide.
