I'm not sure now, but I think I played both. The camera fucks with my brain though and I get a headache just after 15-20 minutes of playing.

The perspective and graphics are the same but the Exult version has a larger view area and can also be played windowed, so that might negate some of the motion sickness if you can zoom out. U7 is definitely worth persevering with if you can get over the headaches.

It's not a motion sickness. It's the perspective. Characters are seen from a bit different perspective than background and I can't "focus" my eyes to the point it's painful.

Now rate these please.

 

[Konjad]

Now rate these please.

Well, okay.

Here's how i'd rate all these games. Note that these games are only the ones that I have finished, so few of them will have low ratings. If I were to include games I did not bother to finish, such as Skyrim, then there'd be a lot more games with score 1-3/10. All ratings subjective, they don't show the quality of the game, just how much I enjoyed them personally, so fuck off, I liked that Dragon Age: Inquisition

Baldur's Gate II [bioware decline in full speed, dramas, bitches and romances, where's muh high adventure from BG momlovers]

Oh right. You don't like H&S anyway.

That's the best Morrowind DLC

Nope, just as Twitcher 3 I played it on Windows with eGPU. Sorry, can't help you.

 

[Revenant]

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age 2 [the best game ever and you know it]
Dragon Age 3: Inquisition [muh guilty pleasure]

You liked Inquisition better than Origins?

 

[Konjad]

Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age 2 [the best game ever and you know it]
Dragon Age 3: Inquisition [muh guilty pleasure]

You liked Inquisition better than Origins?

yeah... I liked Origins only at the beginning, but then it just became shit hack'n slash with trashmobs every 10 seconds

Albeit DA3 also had a lot of combat and trash mobs, but at least the combat was much much quicker, so didn't bother me as much. I enjoyed story and more open world in Inquisition too, while both were weak points of the first DA.

 

[Zed Duke of Banville]

The Elder Scrolls III: Bloodmoon [The atmosphere was astounding]

Wtf is this? I have literally never heard of it. Hmmm...thread already delivering.

There were two full-fledged expansions (IIRC, about $20 in price) to Morrowind, first Tribunal and then Bloodmoon. Personally, even though the city of Mournhold added by Tribunal was disappointingly small, I preferred exploring the vast dungeons underneath the city to Bloodmoon's addition of the Skyrim-like island of Solstheim.

I may as well, since I made this nice picture and so on.

No The Witcher 3 because my computer sucks, can't even reach 60fps in The Witcher 2, even on "medium" settings. When I get to finish all these fucking games, hopefully I will have a good rig.

And here's the big ass picture I made out of every game's picture at GOG, with some others resized from Steam in the event they weren't available in GOG.

Spoiler

So far I've beaten Morrowind, Gothic, and Planescape: Torment, in that order. New Vegas is the one I've played the most (over 300 hours, probably). I've played a couple RPGs not worth listing: FO3 and Skyrim.

I would rate Gothic a 9/10 (weird controls that make for clunky combat), same with Torment (awful combat), and Morrowind an 8/10 just because Gothic puts it to shame in many departments (NPCs, quests, factions, AI schedules, even story). Frankly I don't expect any of these games to reach a 10/10, since I'm very picky in what I consider a 10/10 game: it has to be flawless, or very, very close to it.

 

[Crispy]

Kony, may I ask when approximately you started playing the games on this list and how often you do play? It's amazing how much time you seem to have on your hands.

Edit: Also, you are missing comments on some very significant titles in your list. Why?

 

[Space Insect]

There were two full-fledged expansions (IIRC, about $20 in price) to Morrowind, first Tribunal and then Bloodmoon. Personally, even though the city of Mournhold added by Tribunal was disappointingly small, I preferred exploring the vast dungeons underneath the city to Bloodmoon's addition of the Skyrim-like island of Solstheim.

I have mixed feelings about both of them. I probably prefer Tribunal because I like the art style and setting much more than Bloodmoon's. Mournhold and the Clockwork City especially were pretty disappointing and small. I liked some of the stuff beneath Mournhold, particularly the Daedric shrine and the new Dwemer ruin textures and lighting. I also thought the side quests in Mournhold were probably the best in all of Morrowind IIRC.

 

[Konjad]

Kony, may I ask when approximately you started playing the games on this list and how often you do play? It's amazing how much time you seem to have on your hands.

I started when I was 9 years old - in 1999 - with Baldur's Gate. It was my the very first RPG and also the first game I have bought (or rather asked my parents to buy it for me), funny thing is that buying the retail version was cheaper than pirating it at that time because it had so many CDs. I don't remember what was my second RPG or when did I play it, but it followed not much later and since then I'm a RPG fan.

Edit: Also, you are missing comments on some very significant titles in your list. Why?

I just didn't come up with what to write there.

Have you considered checking out the SSI generation of RPGs at some point?

 

[MediantSamuel]

I've got time to kill at work so I figured I'd splurge my popamole-riddled list, plus comments:

Completed:

Spoiler

Age of Decadence - Fantastic game. One of my favourite rpgs.

Alpha Protocol - Basically awful. I remember very little of this game.

Baldur's Gate + Tales of the Sword Coast - I'm quite fond of this one. Childhood nostalgia, for the most part, although it does hold up quite well and is still enjoyable.

Baldur's Gate II - I'm of two minds about this one. I like the larger scale, but I dislike how unfocused it feels at times. I like the improved characterisation for party members, but a lot of them are intolerable. I think I prefer the first game.

Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal - Oh god why make it stop.

Deus Ex - Another one of my favourites. I've done countless playthroughs and I'm doing another one right now. It's slightly campy and the voice acting is hilarious but it fucking works, damnit.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Missing Link (all dlc) - Good-for-what-it-is (tm.) Did two playthroughs and halfway through the second I never wanted to see the game ever again. Still decent, though.

Dragon Age: Origins, Awakening (all dlc) - I used to fucking love this game, like seriously love, when I was in college. Proof that students are degenerate? Mediocre game.

Dragon Age 2 - Awful.

Dragon Age 3: Inquisition - Beyond awful. Why did I finish this?

Fallout - Fantastic beauty of a game.

Fallout 2 - I'm not so keen on this one as I am on Fallout 1. Typical complaint of silliness and moving away from the grimdarkness of the first game.

Fallout 3 (all dlc) - Awful piece of shit, please refund me the money and time I spent on this abomination.

Fallout: New Vegas (all dlc) - Good game. Probably my favourite Fallout (Old World Blues, Mr House, Remnants)

Icewind Dale + Heart of Winter - Solid hacky slashy thing. Good fun, though RTwP does grate.

Mass Effect - Used to love this game back on the ol' Xbox 360. Would never play again.

Mass Effect 2 - See above.

Mass Effect 3 - See above.

Pillars of Eternity - Awful. Backed this for something like 140 dollars and I hated it. I forced myself to finish it but god, just awful.

Planescape: Torment - Another great. I still replay this quite regularly. I love the setting, the characters. Brilliant stuff.

Risen - Somewhat OK. I liked the intro. Gets worse. Gets better. Gets much worse.

Risen 2 - Awful game all the way through. Why did I finish this?

Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Solid, enjoyable game. Good party members, good story, reasonably fun missions.

Shadowrun: Hong Kong - More of the above. Slightly worse in parts, slightly better in others. My favourite of the three HBS Shadowrun games.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Good when I was a teenager. Shit now I'm an adult.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 - Probably the best Star Wars game. Thoughtful and entertaining.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - I still have a fondness for Morrowind. Very much nostalgia from my childhood, I don't think this game is half as good as it was. I still like it, though.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Shivering Isles (all dlc) - Awful. Why did I play this? Oh yeah, I was fifteen.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (all dlc) - As per most Codexers, I've played this for far too many hours and I don't even know why. One of the worst rpgs I've ever played. Good to mong out and forget about life or responsibilities or decent rpgs, though.

The Witcher 2 - Decent. Story good, gameplay bad. Broche for life.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Hearts of Stone, Blood and Wine - One of the best damn popamole style rpgs ever made. Shallow choice and consequence, but it's a beautifully realised world. Hearts of Stone has got to be one of my favourite stories in an rpg yet.

Underrail - One of my favourite rpgs, and to come out in recent years, also. Fantastic thing.

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines - Another classic + favourite. Yearly replays or so.

Wasteland 2 - Thoroughly mediocre. Probably wouldn't recommend this to others.

Abandoned:

Spoiler

Icewind Dale 2 - Wasn't so keen on this one. I got stuck because of a glitch and that was the excuse I needed to abandon ship.

Neverwinter Nights - hated it.
Neverwinter Nights 2 - hated it.

Risen 3 - shit. Played far too much before giving up.

Shadowrun: Dead Man's Switch - I hated this damn thing so much. I tried, oh lord I tried. Got to the space bugs or whatever and I was fucking done. Fuck this game.

Witcher 1 - disliked the combat too much to continue.

In Progress / To Return To:

Spoiler

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura - Finding it hard to get into, will play some day.

The Elder Scrolls III: Tribunal, Bloodmoon - I usually lose interest and give up. One day.

Gothic - Loved it but never finished. Will do one day, it deserves it.

Gothic 2 + Night of the Raven - I fucking love Gothic 2 but I've never actually finished it. I think the furthest I've gotten is Chapter 3 or 4. I think I've technically finished NotR before, but I don't know if that counts.

 

[Lurker King]

Your list is a very mixed bag, but aren't all of our lists mixed bags? I recommend:

Jagged Alliance 2 (best combat system ever)

King of Dragon Pass

I did not like combat in SitS. I wish it was turn based!

The game strong suit is using your skills to interact with the environment.

 

[Sigourn]

Have you considered checking out the SSI generation of RPGs at some point?

Eh, I'm not afraid to admit I would probably not touch anything made before 1997 (Fallout). Mostly because I wouldn't have any fun with it.

I'm not saying the games on my list are guaranteed fun, but I don't see myself playing games like Wasteland and enjoying it (I actually played it, and it was more of a Pokémon experience, that is, slightly addictive but not fun at all, if it makes sense).

 

[Konjad]

I have finished Prelude to Darkness today, this time doing the 'default' storyline and saving the Valley from the Darkness. It's a great game, if only it was better polished and did not crash so often! Still, great atmosphere, story, combat system, quests... it definitely is in my top 5 RPG list along with Arcanum, Gothic 2 NotR, PST and Fallout. Overall , although those fucking bugs!

The rebellion's ending was shit too, because there was basically no ending, but the default storyline has an outro that includes the decisions and quests the player has done in different settlements (like in Fallout).

 

[Crispy]

I hate to press the point, but again how do you find so much free time to complete all these games? I'm genuinely curious.

 

[Konjad]

I hate to press the point, but again how do you find so much free time to complete all these games? I'm genuinely curious.

During summer holidays I do nothing but play games and shitpost on dex, so I have plenty of time.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Still in college then?

Eh, I'm not afraid to admit I would probably not touch anything made before 1997 (Fallout). Mostly because I wouldn't have any fun with it.

What a load of crocshit. I played Ultima Underworld somewhere in 2011 and got massive blast. Way better than Doom from the same year in term of tech, control and deep.
I rather learn to play old stuff than touch modern filth and suffer brian damage.

 

[IncendiaryDevice]

I hate to press the point, but again how do you find so much free time to complete all these games? I'm genuinely curious.

No you don't. Anyway, who cares? There's a whole host of demographics who have plenty of time to play games and his list is not that big considering he's been here for 10 years. You could probably find at least 100 posters who far out-play him if you could find a way to direct them to this thread (big neon lights etc). So I'm guessing this is just txt hunting cos you're a right nosey parker. But anyway, I'll get on with my main point, being that just because you list each expansion and mod individually doesn't mean you've played a great variety of games. If someone says they've played Witcher 3 then, in most people's mind, that probably includes all the DLCs and listing Witcher 3 as 3/4 different games is more akin to padding than content...

Just because you have fun with them doesn't mean I will. Case in point: Skyrim is a fun game to lots of people, yet a lot of people here (myself included) don't have fun with it.

I'm also not particularly fond of the blobber genre, so that means the M&M VI suggestion will be skipped.

You should slowly introduce yourself into older and older games. Try X-Com: UFO Defense (even though it's not an RPG). It has isometric turn based combat and the UI does not have a very steep learning curve. Or try Ultima 7.

The list is first and foremost for my own use. I started it years ago, I just posted it on COdex recently. The reason why I list all expansions separately, sometimes even mods, is because I want to keep track what I played and what I did not. I played Morrowind in 2002/3 and Bloodmoon much later, between both I played lots of other RPGs of which some I completed with expansions and some I had left expansions to play later. I never even did play Tribunal and it's still an expansion to play... someday somewhere perhaps, but even if not, I need it listed so when years pass by I don't need to ask myself "wait... did I play it already or not yet?"

I only regret I did not start similar lists with movies and books... movies are the easiest to forget as they don't require any input from my brain.

Still in college then?

Yeah.

Yeah, I wasn't really criticising your method of storing info, it was more a reaction to Crispy's "so much free time to complete all these games?" as if any RPG fanatic interested enough to visit this site for 10 years wouldn't have a similar list of games. Over 10 years, playing just 3 games a year would net you a list of 30 games and 3 games per year gives you ample space to play associated DLCs or Expansions. Heck, some people might even consider 3 games per year to be on the lightweight side, that's not even one per season, what are you doing for the other 9 months of the year! lol.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Just because you have fun with them doesn't mean I will. Case in point: Skyrim is a fun game to lots of people, yet a lot of people here (myself included) don't have fun with it.

Fair enough.
Still - playing older/ancient stuff require little switch in our mindsets to start. More annoying parts would be skippable items or stuff that are easy to miss because modern games spoiled us wit shiny objects and arrows on the maps and quest compass.

I'm also not particularly fond of the blobber genre, so that means the M&M VI suggestion will be skipped.

Me too.
That's because I got massive burnout from FPS genre that touched also my blobbler backlog (couldn't finish M&M VI Chaos Conspiracy because of that).

 

[MediantSamuel]

I do need to add JA2 to my "to play" list.

I've seen a lot of praise for it on the Codex and I am intrigued.

Is it worth £7.50 off GOG? (roughly $10.)

 

[Modron]

It's definitely worth 7.50 but at this point is anyone from the initial development, hell even publishing, getting any money from that? Might as well wait for a sale unless you are really chomping at the bit to play it.

 

[Crispy]

it was more a reaction to Crispy's "so much free time to complete all these games?"

Did you ever stop to think that maybe I was actually impressed with Kony's accomplishment and just wanted to know how and why he's so dedicated to playing RPG's through to their completion?

I didn't attack him, I didn't criticize him. You might want to chill.
