Well here is a list of RPG games I have played and liked: Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate - Tales of the Sword Coast Baldur's Gate II - Shadows of Amn Baldur's Gate II - Throne of Bhaal Planescape Torment Fallout Fallout II Icewind Dale Icewind Dale - Heart of Winter Icewind Dale - Trials of the Luremaster Icewind Dale II Temple of Elemental Evil Neverwinter Nights Neverwinter Nights - Shadows of Undrentide Arx Fatalis Morrowind Morrowind - Tribunal Morrowind - Bloodmoon Ultima IX
Well that's most of the good story based RPGs I Like. Other games like Diablo, Diablo II are quite clearly playable but it's not like I enjoy clicking my finger numb, damn batteries in the mouse also keep dying. Probably forgot 90% of the RPG games I have played, but it's kinda hard to remember what is what when you play every RPG game that gets released.
My all-time favorite must be the Baldur's Gate Series but still all Black Isle games ruled. Noticed that quite a few of you also like Sond of Ice and Fire. There is a module for Neverwinter Nights which has been made based upon one of the books. Great module really, has reached the Hall of Fame on nwvault.com.
Okay now I need som suggestions on really good story RPGs for the PC, been running out lately.

Icewind Dale is probably the crappiest Black Isle game but it's allways fun to do some coordinated hack & slash gaming. If you haven't played The Baldur's Gate series I seriously recommend you play it. It's fun from the start and the game is HUGE for a linear story game.

I don't think local stores have it on their shelves anymore, most of the big netshops like amazon probably have it. Alot of people have the game though, probably stashed away on some shelf like me. I'm about to bring it down from there for another run thru it. Some guys have made the first Baldur's Gate game run under the Seconds Engine so that's gonna be quite fun. BG 2 has alot of fun classes and spells. Like Kensai (Fighter who doesn't wear armor and is fast like hell), Wish spell which does exactly what it says . And somebody suggest me a good RPG game please!!! I'm in dire need of some good old fashioned adventure game.

I can't think of any right now that you haven't already listed, maybe Dungeon Siege, I don't know....heard that was good.
I love RPG's though, especially Bioware's, good stuff. Love being the sorcerer.

Yeah, sorcerors sure are fun. Much better than wizards if you want my oppinion. I have played thru Dungeon Siege + multiplayer world and the free addon hehe. Didn't add it to the list because it's like 95% hack & slash, not really what I like mostly from a RPG game.

Nah, sorcerers are much better than wizards! With a sorcerer I had more spells, plus if I got a good dagger, I could kick butt with it, the Ice Talon in NWN was especially good when you had two of them. I was really good with sorcerers.....

One really cool thing to try out in NWN is the spell Harm. There used to be a module named Dragon Keep or something where there were dragons with 10 000 hp. Harm used to do about 9500 hehe. That was just sooooo fun. =)
Concerning Sorcerors the only bad thing about them is that now and then you might find yourself lacking the right spell but that situation is quite rare. In Icewind Dale one of my favorite caster setups is to use a Sorceror and some class dual classed to a wizard as backup caster. My party usually looked like this. Fighter, Barbarian or Monk, Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Mage, Cleric, Sorceror. Human dual classing can be quite powerfull in Icewind Dale actually. Try making a party of 6 humans and then dual class them to whatever you need. The party will be a bit weak at start but later on they are a real menace.

I never played ID, my computer sucked then, so I went from my friend's BGII to NWN.
Plus in NWN, every time you leveled up you could change what spells were in your spellbook, so I never had a problem not having the right spells. I'm a weird spellcaster though, I almost exclusively use offensive spells, hardly any defensive or enhancement spells.

Baldur's Gate is great. Specially BGII. And BGII with the ToB gives me shivers ^^
I've never finished BG. I started with BGII and never went back to the first one. It's pretty lame comparing to the second one, and a bitt uglier. But both are great.
Minsc with the talking sword and Jan in the party is almost a coercion.
I'll have to finish both someday.

Well actually you can play the first Baldur's Gate in the 2nd's Engine quite easily by downloading a mod from TeamBG. If you wan't the link just say so but I'll warn you, the mod is quite big I think one of them was 500MB (yes there are 2 mods that do this).
