Hi Guys,

I have had a fantastic time playing ME/ME2 and DA and was wondering if anyone can throw some suggestions my way on other good rpg games out there that would be worth playing while I wait for new content.
cheers

there's the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, Divinity 2 Ego Draconis & the Witcher on PC, they're very good. There's also Alpha Protocol but it's only coming on May.

Best RPG-Shooter out there besides ME2... BORDERLANDS!! Go get you some!

Right ! forgot about this one, I'm currently playing the General Knoxx DLC and it's amazing so far.

[Lyons6]

Some excellent suggestions I just hope Bioware haven't spoilt me to much that the rest are let downs lol. I did hear good things about a ps3 game called heavy water as well.

Does Borderlands have the same type of npc interaction that ME has?

Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Sorry, not trying to be sarcastic - it's just really funny.  In short, no.

[Lyons6]

heh np I'm all for some sarcasm, I'm also searching for some good rpg's on the side ;p.

Gothic 1 and 2 were pretty good. Just avoid Gothic 3 at all costs! It is buggy as hell.



Neverwinter Nights 2 (and especially Mask of the Betrayer) were also some of the best games I have ever played.

Nothing out there that matchs DA:O for RPG goodness.



KotOR 1 and 2, Jade Empire, Mass Effect 1 all deliver MORE RPG goodness then ME2 does.

Stay away from Fallout 3 as thats just a basic shooter with almost no story.

Oblivion (I never played cause I hated Morrowind) im told has more story but its disjointed and random rather then telling a strong story so thats a maybe, depending on what you like.



I recently (with in last year) Played Lost Odysee. Very Linear game outta japan but very fun as well. Turn Based combat so stratigically it could get difficult and I had to redo many a encounter to figure out right tactics for right opponents. Maybe check that out if you looking for story over combat RPGs.

I am certainly looking for more rpg than combat rpg but as long as the story is good I don't mind to much.

Oblivion's a different kind of game than BW's RPG's. OB is a sandbox game where you can practically do whatever you want.

The game itself is nothing spectacular, but if you're bored you might want to give it a go.

Heavy Rain isn't necessarily an RPG, more of an interactive movie from what I hear. It's supposed to be quite good though.



I would definitely say don't write off Fallout 3 (I understand people have varying opinions) as I found it to be anything BUT a basic shooter. The customization is very rewarding and there is a ton of NPC interaction. Granted, the world is decidedly less flashy than Mass Effect, but interesting nonetheless.

[Pineappletree]

Well, if you like DA:O and character interaction and don't mind the old (but beautiful) 2d graphics, you could try what many (including myself) still consider to be THE classical western RPG out there:



Baldur's Gate. (part two especially)

New game, from what I read, it features permadead. So if every one of your crewmembers dies, you better have a savegame of sorts.

[TheXoll]

There are no other games in the same caliber, not even in other genres.



There are video games and there is Mass Effect.

[Balerion84]

The best thing ever to grace the gaming landscape is DeusEx from Warren Spector. But it's old. Like 10 years so that might put off some people. Though if you haven't played it (and don't mind outdated graphics and AI) I strongly recommend it. 
It's one of the most important games in gaming.

To be honest with you, Bioware is the only company making this type of RPG. Your best bet is to go back and play the Baldur's Gate series (at the very least get the Tutu mod to allow the original to use the sequel's engine). It's an awesome epic the like of which hasn't been matched since.

If you're more into the story and NPCs then try Planescape Torment, considered by many to be the best RPG ever.

Bethesda are for those who like their open worlds, and Fallout 3 is a big improvement over Oblivion in making a world worth exploring I hear. NPCs are a little flat though.

The Gothic series and Risen are about picking your faction, which takes the place of your moral choice and class system. Choose who to side with and see how differently the game plays out. Considered a more hardcore RPG classic series (Risen being new and unrelated to Gothic in terms of story and world).

Seems there is alot more choices out there than I thought, The advances made with ai and npc interaction in the past year will hopefully lead to more games like DA and ME coming out in the near future and give rpg people a more meaningful experience than we have had to date.

I'm going to have to dissagre with you there good sir / ma'am. Fallout 3 is a very good game if almost equal to ME 2 in many aspects. The combat is on par with ME 2 despite being a FPS. The gameplay still has some bumps like ME 2 . Overall the game is very good from Character customization, to the story ( It's no Heavy Rain, but there is some story, you just have to immerse yourself into the world.) Seriously though there is a reason Fallout 3 won GOTY. ( and Mass Effect didn't( I still think it should have though))

Last Point. If Fallout doesn't count go play a classic like The Legend of Zelda.( A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, or Majora's Mask( my recommendation))

The only non-Bioware games I've liked as much as Bioware's are Planescape: Torment, The Witcher and KotOR 2, specially the first one.

And they all use a Bioware engine .

People aren't mentioning it much but I loved NWN because:

- It had Hordes of the Underdark.

- It had tons of great modules you could play. Some of those module makers now work for Bioware (Yeah, I'm looking at you Rick Burton, I can't forgive you for not finishing that amazing paladin trilogy).
