PC RPG recommendations.

[Ziegfried]

Right, so. I'm looking for new PC RPGs to waste my time on. I've played through several "classic" games and series like Icewind Dale, BG, Morrowind, Fallout, PS:T and so on already, so try and prioritise older and/or less known games. I'm looking for "pure" RPGs with focus on characters and story, and I'd be happier with a dark, depressive thing than a light and cheerful one.
I'm also of the opinion that these "request" threads are better when one specifies what they're looking for.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. The story can be as dark as you make it
Then there's Diablo.
There was this one sick twisted game back in the day. I can't for the life of me remember what its name was. Though, by today's standards, the game may be considered tame, the story is still pretty dark.

Yes, I started downloading that an hour or so ago... KotOR, that is.

I suggest Arcanum and/or Arx Fatalis. I haven't actually played arx Fatalis myself, but have heard nothing other than praise for it. Arcanum, on the other hand, I own and love dearly. It is part of the Sierra classics range, so you'll be able to pick it up cheaply, and it's a hell of a game. Think of Fallout, but open-ended and a hell of a lot more complex. That's it mechanics wise, style-wise it's all steamengines and magic. Very cool game.

I have Arcanum as well. Haven't played Arx Fatalis though, I'll check it out.

Any MMORPG should be fine if you can find a private server or dont mind paying a monthly fee.
Try Neverwinter Nights if you haven't already.

[Ziegfried]

There are MMORPGs that focus on character development and storyline?

[Soeru]

Well, I guess there are if you have lots of imagination.
Just go with console RPGs man.

My brother bought Sacred awhile ago , it's pretty good if you ask me ( tho I played it only 2/3 times )

[Bagel]

I've played Arx Fatalis a little. It has gameplay similar to Morrowind, with some differences. I won't spoil the storyline, but I can assure you it's quite different from that of Morrowind.

Septerra Core is rather nice.

[Psyonide]

I thought Septerra Core was, to borrow a term from the Brits, alsolutely pants. Pants being bad.
Granted, I never got that far into it, but I just didn't find much to like about it. Perhaps I should give it a second chance, but that would require finding a copy of it. Ah well.

[Clive]

Not being one to disagree with me old chap crusher, but I too also heard that Septerra Core was a bit crap. Still, 'heard' being the operative word - I never played it myself so I cant really judge, but if the opinion of it being shite is widespread then the omens arent good.

[crusher]

Well, I haven't played it THAT much but from what I played, I thought it was great. I really need to get my hands on it again.

Septerra Core rules.

In fact, if anyone has it, knows where it is, or can send it to me. I wanna play it again. I used to have it, don't know what I did with it >.<!
