What can change the nature of RPG? C&C? Branching dialogue? Experience? Character development? Actual Role Playing? LARPing? Multiple endings?

Okay, guys, I get it, you play the role of The Nameless One. It's an RPG, alright. Silly me.

My favourite adventure game is: The Longest Journey and probably with Grim Fandango and one of the Monkey Island games coming up close.
One could easily argue that PS: Torment could be seen as an adventure game, as I think you can avoid most combat situations if you have high enough Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma...
One could also argue, much in the same way that the first Fallout game could be seen as adventure game since you could avoid combat all together. Just talk your way thorugh the game.
Still, adventure games tend to focus on characters, plots, dialogues and story - just like The Longest Journery does.

This thread made me realize how closely related PS:T and Myst are. MY EYES ARE OPEN.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - best adventure game ever. Although this look pretty sweet, there is even a demo, but the project was *suspended* (not officially dead yet) http://dsgames.guerrestellari.net/index.html#down

Awesome way of saying it. Where does it come from? Fan artwork? It doesn't looks like it is from the game.
Either way I suppose mine would be either The Last Express (as I am huge Mechner fanboy and this is his best) or Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon (because I am huge Kheops fanboy and I like it the most). I am not very stable on 'the best' opinion though, tomorrow it can be something completely different.

I agree 100%. Jordan Mechner has never made a bad game, and this was his best one.yaster said:

It is the mural from the game. Some dude took screens from MobyGames and redid it.yaster said:pipka said:

sam & max hit the road... destroying the western united states to save yetis was the best motive i've seen in games so far
i always liked the gobliins games as well for the whole silliness and slapstick
last adventure i've played was jack keane (found on a magazine dvd) and i was pleasantly surprised by the way the story was presented and by the jokes not being too facepalm-worthy... very little pixelhunting too

On a more serious note, my all-time favourite must be Blade Runner. It's all but the perfect adventure game, in my opinion, with but a few plot critical points strewn over, little emphasis put on hunting down items, they themselves only being clues that help put together a clear picture of the events and motivations of the people that participated in them. I especially love the skill with which the game's characters were crafted. And, of course, the non-linearity, that beautiful uncertainty which doesn't dissolve after just one playthrough.
I don't think any adventure game since came close to this beauty, but certainly many are also tons of fun to play, especially most LucasArts titles, The Longest Journey, Beneath a Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Syberia.
