I'm a very bored gamer

Well people.
I've spent the last two days lurking around on steam, Direct2Drive, here and the general google hits. I am so very much bored. I NEED a game to satisfy my needs. This is going to be difficult though because I'm a bastard really. I don't know what I want.
Let me tell you a story of my gaming habits the past couple o' weeks.

It all started in a small apartment in the peaceful town of Fredericia (disregard that).
A poor soul sits at his computer, tears running down his cheeks. A beautiful, loving girl asks him: "what is wrong?" and the poor souls responses with "my prepaid gametime is up, spent, used, over!" She tries to comfort him, "you can level my mage if you want to".
But deep down she knows he doesn't want her mage, he wants his own.

Days passed by and he starts playing other games. The first game to feel his wrath was Battlefield Bad Company 2. This time he thought it would be fun to play in a tougher difficulty, but he knew all the levels and where the enemies hid in ambush so he got no challenge. Then he figured he'd give multiplayer a go, but his blood starts boiling whenever a tubenoob fragged him with a 40mm.
Next came Neverwinter Nights 2.
He thought it would be fun to play through as a palemaster. A commander of the undead. But he learned what he already knew, the game was not meant for spellcasters. Phrases like "you cannot rest while enemies are nearby" infuriated him.By his 16th level he was fed up and gave up. Portal, Borderlands, BF1943 and Spore all give him a couple of hours gaming each, but none of them could scratch his itch. His APB beta was useless, the game was unbalanced.
Dragon Age had nothing to offer either. He had already completed origins and awakening three times each. One for each core class.
And now his sad tale ends where it began. Infront of a screen typing a forum post. He seeks help!


I need a game fellow escapists!!! I want something that can entertain me like NWN1/2 and TES3/4
But I don't want some mainstream bull like Just Cause 2 and all that bile. Please oh please help me. I'm so bored, and no, real life is not an option!

you haven't named which consoles you have. so me saying "monster hunter tri" or "monster hunter freedom unite" could be meaningless if you don't have a Wii or PSP (respectivly).
meh, what i do is think back to the good old days and play some old games i haven't played in a while. i'm sure there is more than "neverwinter nights" on your 'old games that you love' list.

also, if you really can't live without the game, then seriously, real-life, get a job to pay for it. sure, you're probably lazy as hell when it comes to real-life, but thats not an excuse as far as i am concerned. i'm lazy as hell but still manage to push myself to work if i need to in order to get something i really want.

Dwarf Fortress, complex game, learn it though, and you have So much fun. (Try Tilesets as well)
Also, Liberal Crime Squad, another game from the same company.
Both Free.

There are also a lot of older but still fun games on Good old Games, (Gog.com) cheap pricing, direct to drive, No DRM, install it as many times as you want.

Meh.
I have a PC, an Xbox360 and a Wii. Not that I'm proud of the Wii..

As to real life, I'm about to start my examns next week ;)and my girlfriend is working on her examns.


And there are a lot of old/older games on my <3 list. But I've played so many of them recently.
I even played Silent Hunter II, Jedi Academy, Kane and Lynch, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Shadowrun, Dawn of War 2, Bloodbowl, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, Tropico 3 and probably more I'm forgetting now. I just can't seem to find that one game that can entertain me for more than 2 hours...

Maybe NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer...

Edit: Awesome website :D

Baldur's Gates 2, same system as NWN, but isometric graphics (IMHO it looks a lot better)and mages are perfectly capable of stomping over everyone's face.

I would suggest a couple of options.

WarCraft 3 - DotA and tower defences.
Diablo 2. Online of course. It'll last you about a month or so at least, I would assume.
Bauldurs Gate 1&2
Icewind Dale 1&2

Also, Tabletop gaming.

wish this "/thread" trend wasn't so popular and over-used. because its rarely true.

and yeah, the wii's not had much to be proud of. i use it mostly for gamecube games XD
there is always webcomics and videos on the internet. why is it i always seem to find them when i've got exams on >.>
