    As far as other high quality D&D type RPGs the only other really good recent one is Planescape. If you are interested in RPGs from other styles, I'd suggest Fallout 1&2 as great RPG games. I could also list a number of great RTS or FPS if that floats your boat. Just let me know and I'll be happy to help.

    Thanks for answering Voltric
    I'm looking for a decent fantasy RTS or any good FPS.
    I also had a look at a new game called "Desperados" which looks pretty good I might check it out does anyone here recommend it?

    For such a seeker for many varieties, I would strongly recommend you to get "Deus Ex". It combines FPS, RPG and adventure with some srtategic elements.
    However, you should have a pretty good machine to run it.

    Anyway, I hate FPS genre, however this game has a story included - I simply love it!
    Also another thing that I count as bonus is that it has three different endings!

    Or System Shock 1/2 if your PC/wallet can't stretch to Deus Ex

    I've got the same problem as nothing realy can compare itself to the bg series and IWD. I've just recently started playing a game called summoner. Different style, but still an RPG. Maybe a little rough around the edges, but still a good game I think.

    And there's also an other game called Severance that's kind in the same class as Summoner.

    If you haven't played through Deus Ex yet, you better get started... :D

    Deus Ex is a great FPS with lots of good elements. I would also suggest No One Lives Forever as another great FPS. There is also Thief 2 for FPS. As for fantasy RTS have you tried Black and White?

    [​IMG] Septic, please edit your note - it hurts my eyes and brain trying to guess what is written on right side of the screen.

    What do you expect us - to move slide bar a 1000 times just to find out that you are tricked into another imitation?
