I know it's not what you requested, but: MORROWIND !
I have tested some RPG's over the Last years, but if you try this, you will be Banned for years. Never seen such a complex and captivating RPG system, never.

Outdated, but still good: Planescape Tournament, Baldur's Gate.

A nice old RPG is Darklands from Microprose. Medival germany time of knights and such stuff however graphics are not up to date but i think it is a look worth when you find it.Last time i saw the game it was abbandoned free for download about 12 MB at the underdogs maybe you could find it also somewhere else on the web

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Have to agree on Morrowind. I started playing it recently, and it is phenominal! It took me some time to get used to the real time combat system, but it was worth it. The other RPG I played relatively recently was Wizardry 8. It has the advantages of multi-character parties and turn-based combat within a 3d environment. I really enjoyed it.

Try RuneSword 1 or Runesword 2. 1 is freeware, 2 is available for purchase. Both yield the feel of traditional pen+paper games, and you can get adventures created by many different people (on these Boards), and make some yourself reasonably easily.

Re: [OT] does anybody know about any good rpg\'s?
 

Wizardry 8 is excellent if you like old-style RPGs, some complain that it is too combat-focused, but it has nearly infinite replay capability, good NPCs, and its very pretty (3D environment, 1st person, real time). http://www.wizardry8.com/

(Yeah SIR-TECH! I even got a Apple IIe emulator so i could play the original Wizardry, although that was before Wiz8 came out. Sadly, they are no more.)

If you don't mind a 2d environment, the Exile trilogy is really really good, excellent storyline, flexible character development, and with the Blades of Exile Version, players can make their own adventures, some of which are really huge and complex. http://www.spidweb.com/

Exile 1 and 2 have pretty bad graphics, 3 and Blades are better.

Avernum is the Exile trilogy expanded and remade, with the bonus of a quasi-3D projected environment.

I have to throw in a pitch for Neverwinter Nights, which won RPG of the year from PC Gamer. I have played through the standard campaign with 7 different characters and had 7 different experiences because of that. Also comes with a great scenario editor to make your own campaigns.

BEST RPG OF ALL TIME, ALTHOUGH NOT A PC RPG:FINAL FANTASY SEVEN

SECOND BEST:Chrono Trigger

IMHO anyway

Re: [OT] does anybody know about any good rpg\'s?
 

Actually, they did make a Version of Final Fantasy VII for the PC - I have it.

(3) Fallout2 Post nuclear war, you are mad max.3rd Perspective =you see your party.From a top slant view. Mostly Non-liner.
