Need a New RPG

@scottalanmiller Yep I re-purchased BG original on Android and have played through a bit of it. Amazing how well that engine works with a touch interface.
I hadn't considered playing it on a tablet. Maybe I should.
-
@scottalanmiller I would recommend it. If for nothing else then it being a fairly novel experience.

Yes, good for having a good background in RPG gaming!

What about Fallout 3? I had it for the PS3 and all the DLC and it was amazing. One of the best storylines in the main game and all 4 dlc's. Fallout New Vegas was... ok.

I've heard about the Fallout series. Who are your enemies? I've heard their good, and I have I think New Vegas for 360, but haven't played it.

Oh... you haven't played Fallout 3/New Vegas? You're missing out think of it as a Elder Scrolls game set in post-apocalyptic 1950's US. The world is your enemy and the story line is fantastic. A lot of people didn't enjoy New Vegas as much (the main plot line was swiss cheese) but the side quests and additional fluff were great for a fan of the series.

Are you wanting an action RPG or a turn based one? If the former, Shadows of Mordor is great. If the latter, then Wasteland 2 is out now.

I was just about to mention the Fallout series!

Don't discount the older Elder Scrolls either. Morrowwind and Oblivion are great titles.
-
If you are okay spending a few dollars, consider a used PS2 and go back and play some of the classics from that era. That platform is one of the best RPG and adventure platforms ever.
-
I know you said RPG, but the Warcraft Series (Warcraft Orc & Humans up to Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne) have some of the best story telling of any RTS. May not be your genre but still worth a shot if you like a good story.

I like the feel of Dragon Age, which is kind of both. I LOVE turn-based games though, which makes me the opposite of @scottalanmiller .

I like turn based RPGs because it is about the story, not the action. I dislike turn based strategy because it makes it boring and drawn out.

I love turn-based period. That being said, as much as I like a lot of the new factors and features of Civ V, it moves SO much slower than Civ IV that it is almost unplayable by my standards, and that's saying something! I can take over half a dozen turns in Civ IV before one turn finishes processing in Civ V.
-
If you love turned based, check out Nethack.

You should try playing a MUD. NTG runs one just for fun.

MUDs are dangerous
Nethack is one of the deepest RPGs, but puts nothing into graphics. It's ascii graphics, like Dwarf Fortress. -
