Help me find a good RPG!!

[ImmortalDrifter]

Might i suggest Dragon age origins?

 

[Mcface]

Help!! I'm wanting to get into a new RPG but can't seem to find a good one. I've beaten Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Mass Effect 2, so those are out. But I do want a game that features:
- karma/choice/moral system (I play thru twice, once good, once evil)
- open world roaming, before and after story mode is completed
- great character customization (gender, looks, outfits, etc.)
- good achievements, preferably offline

Any suggestions?? I've demo'd Divinity 2, it seemed decent, anyone know if its good or follows those criteria?

I didn't like Divinity. the fighting is so freakin hard starting out. theres literally no skill or tactics involved, you simply cant win a even fight.

Maybe if you save up, you can wait for Elder Scrolls: Skyrim to come out. Everyone is going to love that RPG game so very much - it looks mighty epic but it's coming out in 11.11.11 Haha. (November 11th, 2011)

What he said. Definitely check this one out when it lands.

Well, Dragon Age 2 is coming out pretty soon, but that's not really free-roaming, though the demo was quite enjoyable. Get it on XBL and see if it's your thing. I'd say pickup Fable 3 and stop playing once you become king. It's just a big series of anti-climaxes and confusing design choices from there.

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. The holy grail of understated RPGs. Don't let the "vampire" part turn you off, either.

Well, the RPG-7 is still a popular model despite it's age. If you have the right contacts in many former Eastern Bloc nations, you can probably get a hold of one that might be 30 years old, but is still in good serviceable condition. The aiming takes a bit of practice but they're fairly accurate, easily operated by one person and pretty effective against APCs and other light armored vehic... oh... wait... you meant... never mind.



(Sorry I could not resist writing that.)

Lots of good suggestions guys, keep it up!

And I am actually waiting for many games, they just dont come out until Q4of2011/Q1of2012, such as Mass Effect 3, Saints Row 3, Skyrim, and Arkham City.

I just need stuff to hold me over until then haha, and bethesda is taking their sweet time with New Vegas DLC, especially since I finished Dead Money the first day.

I guess the Fable series, but those are not stellar RPG's, and you have to get the humor or they are crap.

Dragon Age Origins/2 maybe? They just are not playable after you beat the game, well not sure about the second one because that's not out yet.

Spoiler: there you go

May I recommend Final Fantasy 11? The game is a subscription-based game and comes with 30 day Free Trial. It is an outdated game but the game is being consistently updated.

 

[Veldaroth]

Well, most of the ones I would recommend have already been mentioned, so I'll go with the Baldur's Gate series, specifically Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2: Shadow of Amn, and Baldur's Gate 2: Thrown of Baal.

Also, I haven't played them but I"m pretty sure the old Fallout 1 and 2 games are pretty good. All pretty old but definitely worth playing.

Morrowind. It's backwards compatible with the 360 and it's great without the mods, no matter what anyone says.

Heck, if you have a computer of any kind, good or bad performance, try the original Fallouts. They're a massive time sink.

I tried that. I agree with the time sink part, but only because it took WAAAAAAY too long to move from place to place.

OT:Morrowind. Just stay out of the glowing red house near the crab skeleton city. Tis soooooo creepy.
