Does anyone know any good skills-based CRPGs?

    [​IMG] Because I like the idea of dabbling in low level fighting/magic/thievery before I commit instead of choosing a class at the start.

    I'm not sure if this is what you are looking fore, but try fallout I&II. They are both skillbased, and there are no classes. As for high fantasy (well, sort of) look out for the upcoming Arcanum!

    Arcanum could be a very good choice, but doesn't that game have classes as well?

    Arcanum has races, but no classes. Each character has an upbringing, which works like the traits in fallout.

    Thanks guys, I want to give Fallout a try, and I hear Fallout 1 and 2 are going cheap on budget now.

    *slaps his forhead* Doh!! Sorry about that. I am by far no expert on Arcanum, as I have no doubt shown, but I am still looking forward to it's arival. Too bad it's release was pushed back. Most everything I'm interested in is getting bottlenecked in the fall, and right before NWN. Argh!!
