Any Fallout game except Tactics and Brotherhood of Steel.

Original Neverwinter Nights, Planescape Torment, Septerra Core.

Morrowind if you haven't already. King of Dragon Pass is old but great. Dragon Age Origins is also quite good. Baldur's Gate of course, Icewind Dale although that's a bit more combat focused imo, Neverwinter Nights if you like 3.5. Arcanum: Of steamworks and magick obscura is also one of my favorites.

Any from the Wild ARMS series, though I would go with Wild ARMS: Alter Code F over Wild ARMS 1. Alter Code F is a remake of 1.

Skies of Arcadia. Either version is good, Legends has a little more content than the original version but it isn't much.

It's completely average for a modern day RPG.
The only reason why it deserves high praises is the fact that you can mod it to Oblivion and back.

Lot of people don't know the game scaled enemy stats with difficulty so of course every face stab "missed" at 15 skill. They all had boosted agility.

Grab the executable patches and get a mod that removes exploits like BTB's mod.

That's it.

It's so restrictive that you need script extenders to add stuff like new skill trees or base stats like strength/dexterity etc.

Too bad Skyrim was so crippled in the streamlining not even the modding could undo it.

I miss stats. I miss skills. I miss item durability. I miss limited magicka requiring you to actually reserve and plan. I miss paying NPCs to craft for you. I miss when features weren't locked behind "Must be this awesome to ride" perks. I miss proper spears. Hell, I miss having different schools of trained weapon combat entirely. I miss there being a significant difference between armor, and I miss when armor actually came in different flavors with mix and match parts.

Skyrim was so stripped down it's like buying what used to be a really good car to modify for street racing... and then the company jumps on this popularity and puts out a model that's literally a bare frame with a lawnmower engine.

All they did was cut out potential.

I played it when going through retro games binging.

I can second a recommendation. It mixes in 2.5D dungeons with 2D normal overhead movement sections. This is very cool in and of itself.

Basic premise:
Crashland a ship on not-Pandora which is pretty impressive in itself but it turns out there's a bunch of humans already there. Ancient Druids at some point managed a portal. All of their civilization is built around magic extracting energy from living things, as opposed to ours extracting energy from dead things. Blah blah blah ancient humans and aliens and sometimes you have a gun with ammo but you'd better conserve it.

Ho boy.

Witcher 2 is solid and well designed... mostly. It's solid. Highly recommended anyone can enjoy it.

Witcher 1 has a lot of things I liked that they removed, but the combat isn't as well done as Witcher 2. Inventory, carrying capacity, alcohol and brewing, just to name a few things. I feel like Witcher 1 had more soul to it whereas Witcher 2 is more like a well done action movie.

Both require big combat overhauls.

i wouldn't really hate on Bethesda trimming out a bit on skills since Morrowind felt like a mess when it comes to those. That's why Acrobatics and Athletics are dropped since they're pointless and hit/miss rolls are removed because they are frustrating. Sometime you gotta leave things out of the chopping board if things gets too redundant. Although, removing some skills and mechanics aren't exactly the best solution either since they can improve on their implementations than in Morrowind (fumbling on weapons than missing them on hits like in Dark Souls for example)

I'd agree with the spears though. That's just very lazy on their part.

I swear by Galsiah's Character Development mod. It makes it way less game-y and it makes levelups and stat allocations be a background thing. No more gaming-the-system sort of stuff, you just go, be your character as your character, and get better organically.

If you're into character submersion or RP unobtrusive/unobnoxious playthroughs, that's the way to do it.

The game defaults to a retarded broken setting. The system itself wasn't broken.

Go to settings. Turn down "Difficulty" into the negatives. Suddenly enemies won't have 10x your agility and mudcrabs don't dodge every swing.

How the fuck do people not know about this still? The game has been out for over a decade. The difficulty slider literally adjusts their attributes, it's not some arbitrary damage taken/received multiplier like any other game.

The system itself was fine. All it needed was additional animations. Shit, I don't think Skryim had much more animations than Morrowind when it came down to combat actually. Bethesda a lazy shit when it came to animations.

They should have removed "Armorer" and replaced it with nothing. NOTHING. Not even crafting with "Smithing". Fuck crafting. It was retarded, made even less sense than "missmissmiss", took out the only money sink in the game, and broke the game just as hard as the alchemy exploit bug in Morrowind... which actually was STILL in Skyrim somehow.

"Crafting" is a retarded time waste of a gimmick that adds NOTHIING to a game and only serves to remove atmosphere.

its not really an RPG anyways, its a squad tactics game with RPG elements.

Fallout 3 is pretty fun, the world itself is incredibly good, the quests are fun, but there could be a lot more quests and content in general to complement the worldbuilding.

still seeing as they played it fairly conservative being as FO3 was the first 3D game and effectively a re-boot to introduce the game to a whole new audience I think it was alright.
there are Vegas fanboys on /v/ who go absolutely nuts over it though and freak the hell out over any other fallout game

You know on the note of Skryim I really think that the leveling system has some potential particularly in immersion if it weren't for how incredibly dull the leveling up process is and how sincerely broken and clunky it all is.

Skyrim had good ideas but they marred it with bad design choices

the leveling in Oblivion was pretty bad, and perks were definitely a good idea for helping with customization into the late game, but the fact that actual skill level really doesn't mean anything aside from what perks you can get, and that before lvl 20 its just such a dull grind since you start up exactly the same no matter what and don't get to start doing fun things until far latter.

Yeeeeah I know that it's more squad tactics but it's almost appealing just because of managing an entire chapter. Then again I also stole from it to make a Fallout rpg once.

Meh, I'll have to dissent on Fallout 3. Thought the story was horrid, opening is fun but I dislike playing more than once, karma system is trash, world doesn't make sense in the slightest bit for the rest of Fallout, and the characters are largely rather bland, and companions are one dimensional and the world breaks down the moment you ask how to eat or why nuke the first town in the game? That said, it's not a bad game really. It's something you'll have fun with, have a blast with the gems here and there, and half the dlc is actually pretty cool. Wish the Pitt was longer, really liked the concept there.

Overall fun game. I like to call it the game I have a blast playing but bitch about whenever not playing. If you want an RPG game, buy it, download some mods, and have fun.

I just used a mod that replaced its combat system with one similar to Skyrim's, where weapon skill affected your damage dealt rather than your hit chance. "Hitting" was actually based on where you swung your weapon rather than a die roll.

It still wasn't perfect but it was a damn sight better than the basic system. I played Morrowind to death back in 2002 but picked it up again when it was on sale for $5 on Steam over the summer, modded it to hell and back, and played it even more. With mods it's still an amazing game, if graphically unimpressive.

I don't really mind the streamlining. Having a ton of skills was fun, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

What actually bothers me about Skyrim is the writing. It's shit. It's like they got a different team to design every quest, and each team was a group of half a dozen tie-wearing corporate serfs, given the goal to write something "epic". There's a single, linear questline per faction, and it's inevitably something huge and dramatic, but ultimately pointless. And there are almost no choices, to the point where it's utterly ridiculous. Like selling your immortal soul to the Daedric prince of primal darkness for a suit of armor. Or letting the obviously evil Thalmor spy have his way with the magic ball. Or getting arrested after you're framed for a bunch of murders by the evil mine-owners of Markarth. The only way to opt out of doing any of these things is to ignore the quest and leave it hanging forever. Morrowind let you get away with killing almost literally anyone if you really wanted, and quests had failing conditions. It probably wouldn't be technically difficult to mod some better quests to Skyrim, but it would be a huge undertaking, and it will never be done. The modding community could completely redo Skyrim's entire engine from scratch, and it would still be a mediocre game.

No matter what you really did to try and mix things up in the umpteenth time that you've tried to play this game again, it pretty much ends up the same way. And there's no real reason to be evil compared to being good, unless you really want stuff fast that you can easily get just about anywhere else.

The most fun I had in that game where was when I just ignored the main quest. In the beginning, that means scavenging guns and ammo because you don't really have shit.

Try the Realms of Arkania trilogy. It is probably the closest a video game has ever got to feeling like a real PnP game.

So you hated being able to walk and run faster, fall further, and jump higher? I bet you also think it was good they removed levitation and telekenisis as well because you hated flying and moving objects from a distance.

>Levitation is for fools. Why would we want to levitate? Once you are up high, there is nowhere to go but down.

The only point that really deserves recognition is Acrobatics, and that is owed to the near impossibility of scaling a lot of the mountain terrain. Acrobatics would have helped there, because it did in Oblivion. But for the most part, the streamlining was good for the setting it was contained in.

Putting a lot of Morrowind's features into Skyrim's setting and context would have been fucking lame.

Acrobatics and Athletics are non-stats, they reflect your level more than anything else and should have had their effects tied directly into stats.

Levitation makes level design really hard, and fucks the "closed city" model BethSoft likes so much. But it's a must-have as far as I'm concerned, so I modded it back into Oblivion and Skyrim ASAP.

There is a flying mod that has been in beta for some time now. Functions sort of like levitate.

It is a power you have to purchase. To configure it, you need to spawn in the config power for some reason.

I'd be using it for my mage playthrough but, I have a couple of mods that it conflicts with. Constant CTD.

Also, on the aspect of actual RP in Skyrim, how do you guys do that?

Yes I use that one along with a straight-up Levitate clone from Morrowind, weird glowy disc and all.

The flying mod is odd in that by default it uses 10% of your maximum stamina per second of flying, so you only ever have 10 seconds of flying and it's unrelated to your magical skills. But the scripts it comes with are easy enough to mod, I have it draining a fixed amount of magicka so I can increase my airtime by levelling magicka.

Writing a scripted mod, or altering an already existing one, requires more than I am capable of. Especially since I am not at all familiar with papyrus scripting.

Might be some basic tutorials online but I haven't been actually looking for them.

Eh, You're only half right.

I didn't decide I can't, just that shell scripting sucks and the tutorials are all shit.

When I finally get a wild hair to try my hand at scripted modding, I'm just going to have to scour through the bullshit tutorials to find the good ones. And pray to the gods that it doesn't end up like bash scripting is.

I've done a couple of personal re-texture mods, they were shit but they were mine. Overwrote them when I found The Book of Silence though.

Altering pre-existing textures is damned easy though. Even with GiMP.

Personally I'd like to see acrobatics and athletics merged into one skill and expanded, given more gameplay value, maybe add in more movement options so that if you got it to 100 you'd pretty much have Mirror's Edge-ish movement ability.

Yeah. This hit me real hard. Every character felt incredibly similar from the get go particularly as your stamina, health, mana, etc all are pretty even at the start along with stats. Oh surprise, I start with slightly higher points in a stat that then isn't represented until I level up a few times.

>Top-Down Dungeon Crawler fag here
FATE is one of my favorites. The art style is pretty weird and cartoony, but the game system is like if Diablo was 100% randomly generated. In many ways it could be called a chaos dwarf sim. Enchantments are expensive and can completely fuck you if you're unlucky. The game is open-ended and infinitely replayable. Pets are fun, and the magic is overwhelmingly decent. Some builds are completely cheesy, but it's actually kind of rewarding to figure them out.

Others I like
>The Bard's Tale (Best RPG story and morality system in years, a gem in many ways because it could never be made now with all the whiners)
>DEMON STONE (Made by the guys who did The Two Towers game, it's also a serious bargain)
>Enclave (Really interesting story, plus it's fucking hard sometimes)
>LOTR games (War in the North is my favorite, I'd pass up The Third Age though, it's meh)
>Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes
>Baldur's Gate: DA 1&2
>Champions of Norrath (for some reason I'm not as into it as the other titles really)

Depends on what you're looking for.

If you like the stat building aspects of RPGs most of all, I would suggest ME3. The writing is absolute crap, but the gameplay is extremely fun, and the character system is nice.

If you like roleplaying most of all, I'd suggest tabletop games first, but second anything with an extensive mod community. Neverwinter Nights, Morrowind (Oblivion and Skyrim too, but Morrowind most of all),

Alternatively, you could go for a really story driven experience and get the first Mass Effect (the writing is not absolute crap, it's actually quite nice in this game. Seriously, what the hell went wrong?). Alpha Protocol also has a fantastic story. From the same studio, I'd recommend KotOR 2. Going older, there's planescape torment.

I've heard great things about Divinity, Original sin, but haven't played enough of it to make up my mind. I do like the character disagreement system.
