LOL, well if you actually LIKED Empires Total War as a Total War game, you should try the other Total War games, you'll more than likely love them.
If you like D&D based RPGs, I recommend Neverwinter Nights 2 plus the Mask of the Betrayer expansion. The original campaign ain't bad, and MotB is worth the price of admission alone (especially if you like stuff written by Chris Avellone, like Planescape: Torment). NWN2 is a popular thing to hate because it was horridly buggy on release, but much of that has been fixed. If the general set-up/description sounds good to you, I'd encourage giving it a try.
Plus the nice thing about NWN2 is that once you're done with the official stuff, you can download user-made modules, and by now there's some nice stuff out for it. It's potentially a source of endless gameplay.
The last game _I_ got for PC and thought it was worth buying was Fallout 3, but you've played that.
No, I lie. The last game I got for PC was the demo of Crayon Physics, which was certainly worth the free cost, and I will probably put down the $19.99 for the full version when I have time. If you like physics and puzzles and want to do something totally different than action-rpg-strategy.... then absolutely, go for that.

Thanks, as much as I disliked NWN and Vanilla NWN2, Mask of the Betrayer was actually a very enjoyable game. Though short, it had enough intrigue and character variance to warrant several play throughsDeathQuaker said:
Unfortunately, I've already played it to death...Crayon Physics doesn't sound like my type of game to be honest, but I'll give it a try on my brother's PC and see if I like it.
Anything on steam. Seriously dude download Steam and check out its HUGE library of games, they have everything from shooters to RPGs.
Yup, it's Ed, my favorite character. She is bit of a nutcase, too, don't you think?Valentine82 said:I take your point about me not expressing my intent as well as I should have to begin with. By the way... Your Avatar is Edd (I think that was her name right)! That was my favorite Character!
BTW, it's not often that I see someone here start off on a wrong note and yet be capable of taking feedback without going off their rocker. You just lightened up my day a good bit!
And now that that is settled, if you want RTS...
How about Supreme Commander, the standalone expansion Forged Alliance, or the free Spring engine with its various mods?
Also, while it's well established by now you don't like Demigod, seeing how it's an unashamed clone of Defense of the Ancients, it doesn't make too much sense to criticize it for not being a deep strategy game - any more than it makes sense to bash Civilization for not having slick battle controls. DotA is, and is supposed to be, a light tactics/team action/party game, so that's what one should expect from its clone as well. In its niche, Demigod might well be a good game and good value. DotA is not deep, either, but it's still being played after six years so it must be doing something right.

Ah well. Well, when the Purgatorio mod gets finished (when the Infernum freezes over, except Cania, which will be balmy and sunny) that's definitely worth looking into (it's a fan made NWN2 mod that takes place in Sigil).Valentine82 said:Thanks, as much as I disliked NWN and Vanilla NWN2, Mask of the Betrayer was actually a very enjoyable game.

Understood. Can't beat the price of the demo though, and sometimes something very different freshens things up a little.
Wish I had more recommendations, but with PC games I tend to buy a few and play those to death. I wish I had time to play more, but... stupid need to buy food and eat and sleep *grumble*
Good PC games? There are so many.
Recently, Plants vs Zombies, Sins of A Solar Empire, Orange Box etc.

The last good PC game I bought was probably was Empire total war. The last game I bought was killing floor ¬_¬
Huh.. Last good PC i bought would have to be Sins of a Solar Empire (Yet to have gotten Entrenchment expansion)
Fallout 3 (No DLC yet still hoping they will patch the bugginess out),
Dawn of War 2 (Although i suggest Dawn of War and its expansions,I actually have to rebuy it all since i gave my old one to a friend as a birthday gift)
hrmm other than thats I've been running around stocking on as many PS2 games that were still in English, since the better and some of the newer releases are in Japanese T_T (might actually have to go learn the language)
Hrmm, i dunno since im in thailand kinda sucks that things are being moved to steam makes it harder for us to get CD games down here, sides our internet isn't exactly the speediest of em all either.
