Thanks guys. I think I'll pick up Witcher here shortly.
As for those who mentioned the Thief series... lol. That definitely brings up old memories. Forgot to put that series on the list!

System Shock / Bioshock series (of which I played only Bioshock 2, but heard good things about earlier games)[/i]
Arcanum (Dont play as magick user, too easy)
Bioware still makes RPGs?Nice move.
I thought they just made dating sims nowadays.
Vampire the Masquerade bloodlines - best game ever afaik you can get it for free on steam
How could i forget that game >_<Same way I did. ._.
Don't ever buy a paradox game that is the first in the series, or was released in the past 3 months.Crusader Kings.
ummmmm were talking about video games not novelsStop trolling and/or ignore poorly written walkthrough labeled as "novel". If you to know what's it about, experience the original, play the game.
I still feel pretty clueless about Dwarf Fortress, which everyone always raves about.Get a tileset from Dwarf Wiki.
I mean I get that gameplay > graphics but:
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
I still don't see the appeal. I may have to give it a try but wtf is the game even about?

Just hard to get sold on a game when the screenshots look like something I was playing back on the old T.I. cartridge based home computer in the mid-80's.
I would add if you want to stick with the medieval theme and like/don't mind RTS:The last time I played it, it congratulated me with a Christmass.
Stronghold: Crusader
Yes it's an old game, but you have so much you can do! Look it up, it isn't a hard game to find.
I once tried Dwarf Fortress, but couldn't even control it. OK, the game is so complex, no graphics could handle the depth. Still, we're talking about '80s controls. Surely there would be a BIT more user-friendly option.
Stop trolling and/or ignore poorly written walkthrough labeled as "novel". If you to know what's it about, experience the original, play the game.i have 'played' it plenty of times, its more like reading a novel than actually playing a game though. a really good interactive novel.
Also, The Tale of Baldedgilds (log of my current fortress).

but lose the fuckin ASCII interface, give me some 2D pixels and a mouse pointer!
All the other computer games bow before Planescape: Torment.

About Dwarf Fortress:
Damn, this should be the absolute minimum. Slap on some GUI and it would be sooo awesome...
man i wish i was more interested in dwarf fortress now but it seems like there's no challenge for me any more
i even start with nothing, only my 7 dwarves, on the shittiest terrain i can find, and once i get them a constant food source and the start of a home, knowing that I can go on to build a mighty fortress from there, i get bored
i still play it now and again for adventurer mode
im hoping that when the army arc is completed etc, i will find more fun playing it again
moonstone
Awesome game, for its time period. BG2 on the other hand is a timeless classic =)
No idea. How did you dare? The developers are semi-gods for me.
If I had the money I would make a movie with that stuff - that would rock!
All those NPCs, Nines, Beckett, LaCroix, they are so awesome, its a shame really that Troika is no more.
But this is only another proof that quality alone is not enough. =(
Just read about Dwarf Fortress and immediately downloaded it, currently in the process of having my world generated, very excited.
I got into Dwarf Fortress again, with a bit of success this time. All is fine and all, great game, BUT:
I wanted to go for more battles, building impenetrable fortresses with no real challenger was not fun for long. So I started at a haunted location - and got ripped to shreds by werewolf with my random team, before I could even train any soldiers. I was thinking- hey, what if I actually set up my team instead of the basic ones? Like, have at least one capabler fighter instead of a fisher and fish cleaner, a wardog instead of a fucking camel, things like that.
I set up my squad, barely touched the inventory (nothing beside the camel-wardog thing). Now my game crashes every time I want to embark with that team. Works fine with random guys though.
What did I mess up?
Risen
Risen is pretty decent, it could have been a fantastic game, but bugs and other bad stuff ruined some of the experience.Hardly any bugs I've seen. Especially after Gothic 3 - now that's a fuckin annoying game. Still beat it 3-4 times, these guys can really design a game, even if the actual coding is messed up to say the least.
(although i did run it three/four times :P )
Titan Quest and the addon Immortal Throne.
Dont understand why nobody knows this game. The multiplayer is nice and there are many funny mods.
The only problem is that 90% of the TQ player are cheating. :rolleyes:
But anyway,it is a really good game and it is sad that there wont be a second TQ.
Also, it was nice and fluid for a while, but today, it became very-very laggy. I looked at the task manager, and DF was using 1 GByte of RAM, and 50% CPU capacity. That's a bit harsh, is that normal?
I deleted my older, (how to put it nicely) less successful regions and saves, restarted my PC, and still slow as hell. Haunted maps take up that much more hardware horsepower or what?
Hm. There are two harpies on level 2419. I'm on 140. Maybe handling 2300 levels is a bit much for the CPU.
Sorry if anyone mentioned it beforeFunny thing is - you posted it just when I finished pondering of wether the game is or is not worth buying.
MAGICKA
you can download the demo on steam, and if you don't like it come here and blame me.
cheers

Il2 Sturmovik series
Hands down best wwII combat flight sim I know about. Also russian developer. My favourite aircraft was the FW-190. It models how bullets ricochets inside aircraft, if there is a hole in the radiator etc. You can manually work on the engine control with a shot-up plane.. Also has a huge amount of flyable aircraft and... It's also mp-online!
X3 best game ever still, I wish I could describe it well enough without sperging out for ten thousand words
I like Divine Divinity a lot. I always used the 2 handed sword you get near the castle that is a lil overpowered.
The Sword of Chaos you mean, at the Dwarven village? If you can get a freeze type of it, that's really overpowered, but fun. :)
I have a problem with the game right now, I'm at the final "chapter", and the game won't teleport me to the wastelands, hurr.
Sorry if anyone mentioned it before

Thanks, tried the game now and i absolutely love it =D
If you get the original copy add Noc2d2 on steam, 3 Mercs are already playing it and I don't mind I don't mind finishing the coop adventure one more time.I'm still having flashing screen in main menu, navigating through flickering screens only by memory and non-flashing elements. Curiously enough, the game itself works perfectly. And it's a really good game.
But be careful steam versionwasisveryquite buggy.
TWO WORLDS II
An extreme upgrade from the first one.
It's pretty awesome.
Online content is the real seller but single player is worth it too.
I've been addicted to it on the PS3 since my graphics card fried.
My top 10 are:
X-Com UFO defense
*bump*No real need to bump the thread when it is on the top 5 topics in this section.
Keep that thread going
C&C Tiberian Sun (Old favourite, also best basebuilding of C&C series)
Also World of Tanks is fun. :D :D
I just started WoT, so I am still in the lower tiers. I hear that is where all the fun is at anyways.
I like Light and Medium tanks, just like in MWLL. Light and Medium 'Mechs FTMFW!!! :D
Yeah, faction is all MWLL folks(come on Strategus!!)
Black Sabbath + M&B = match made in heaven!!
Rome Total War(With mods of course, EB RS II etc..)
Medivel 2 Total War(With SS or TATW)
Nearly any Paradox game.
Rise of Nations, playing with friends never gets old.
We just played a 2!! hours long game against a moderate!! opponent and an easy one.
The AI is very smart in that game, lol.
bloody , i suggest you to try Din's Curse if you liked all diablo games and mods .uh, I never played any other mod than BTH and its not like the others with lots of "uber-stuff", rather the opposite, more atmospheric, more basicly. but thanks for the tip anyways, i might have a look if got the time.
I fucking love Starcraft, man. Been playing for ten years and I still can't get enough.
Titan Quest and the addon Immortal Throne.
