Gothic series: You said that you wanted action RPGs. These are really good, though the controls take some getting used to. Ultima 7: Not an action RPG, but it has a huge open world, great writing and NPCs that due to their schedules feel far more alive than those in Skyrim. Daggerfall...

Yea, those combat encounters were always quite bad. PS:T was, even at launch, considered to have weak gameplay. And the fact that it takes some time before the story really gets interesting might have been a large part of the reason why the game sold so poorly. People tried it (friends place...

This has pretty much been a PC-only year for me. Anyway, games beaten, in chronological order: Unity of Command Blood of the Werewolf Dominions 4 Unity of Command: Red Turn (DLC) Freedom Fall Giana sisters: Twisted Dreams - Rise of the Owlverlord Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon The Incredible...

JRPGs are closer to the proto-CRPGs than WRPGs are though. Show someone who played CRPGs in the 80's a JRPG and that person will feel more at home with that than if you would show the same person a modern WRPG. Games like Wizardry, the early Ultimas, Might & Magic, Bard's Tale and so on were not...

And it is really not underrated either. It is one of the highest rated adventure games of all time, right up there with Monkey Island and Grim Fandango, and even above Sierra's classics like Gabriel Knight or King's Quest, or the more recent top adventure games Syberia & The longest journey

I own all of those games, bought them on or near release, so don't blame me for their poor sales ;) Alpha Protocol handled dialogue trees and consequences better than any other (relatively) linear game that I have ever played. I really hope other developers take notice, so that we can drop...

I can't choose... so many good ones. Here is my attempt to narrow it down: Ultima 7 Ultima Underworld 2 Morrowind Dwarf fortress (rogue like mode) Fallout 2 Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines Wizardry 8 Planescape torment Argh, so many good ones!

I found the setting in Morrowind to be a lot more interesting than the one in Skyrim. In Morrowind you get to explore a truly alien land, with a lot of interesting local customs that you just don't find in any other TES game. This makes exploring and getting to know the world in Morrowind a true...

Drakensang: River of time. Have you heard about it? No? I'm really not surprised. If you like deep CRPGs, then you should give this game a try, because outside of indie CRPGs, this is one of the deepest (gamesystemwise) CRPGs in years. But if you live outside of the US, Germany (or Great...

All of those are somewhere between great and amazing, but one stands above the rest: Planescape torment. This game has one of the best stories of any game ever created. I would prioritize this game. Apart from that, here is the order which I would priorities them: Fallout Beyond good &...

I always end up unintentionally killing millions in that game :(

The void is VERY different from anything that I have ever played. In this game you are stuck in some kind of limbo. In this limbo colour is life, it is power, and it is what you need. So what you do is that you grow colour on trees, in order to get more colour (you need to give colour to...

Ben there, Dan that! includes no intentional killing... but I guess that games does not quite count, as you kill a priest with a bible, and a dinosaur with a death star, and poison a psionic. And people keep dying in my hospital in Theme hospital, so that does not count. How do you die from...

You also missed Redguard & Battlespire (and probably the cellphone game based on Oblivion as well)
