Any good RPGs you all can think of? [View all]

A friend gave me a 50$ gift card and I was wondering if you all had any recommendations for me? I don't mind spending the extra 10$ if I need to so don't worry about the price. I'd like something with choice and consequences and good story. Something like the Witcher series or old school KOTOR era Bioware. I'm not a fan of their recent games, sadly. Anyway, any recommendations?

For WRPGS: KotOR + K1R Demo, KotOR2 + TSLRCM, Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect 1,2,3. ZM90 Dec 2012 #1

I'm actually playing through Skyward Sword as we speak. It's one of the best Zelda's yet. white_wolf Dec 2012 #4

Yeah Baldur's Gate is pretty good although I still prefer KotOR and Dragon Age: Origins ZM90 Dec 2012 #6

Skyward Sword is a huge improvement over Twilight Princess. white_wolf Dec 2012 #7

I agree, although I do think Twilight Princess had the potential to be the best Zelda but Nintendo ZM90 Dec 2012 #8

One more question about The Last Story. white_wolf Dec 2012 #15

The controls are actually fine either way. I played with the Wii remote and had zero problems and I ZM90 Dec 2012 #16

If pinned down I cannot really spot a difference between skyrim and oblivion Riftaxe Dec 2012 #10

Skyrim has a much better level system, in my opinion. ZombieHorde Dec 2012 #13

Very well put Riftaxe Dec 2012 #14

Then your character becomes a gaurd, and you have to make a new one. ZombieHorde Dec 2012 #18

Certain technological aspects aside... Chan790 Dec 2012 #19

Assassins creed is alright. Neoma Dec 2012 #9

Too bad you don't have a Vita. The Persona games are kicking all kinds of ass (if you like jrpgs). Evoman Dec 2012 #11

In fact, I'm going to double post just to encourage you to pick up Avernum Escape from the Pit. Evoman Dec 2012 #12

Xenoblade Chronicles joshcryer Dec 2012 #20

I'd rather play it on Wii simply because I figure the controls and everything are better, but... white_wolf Dec 2012 #21

Gamestop has it for $45 used. joshcryer Dec 2012 #22

Picked up both Last Story and Xenoblade. white_wolf Dec 2012 #23

skyrim, by a long shot mmoorefan552 Dec 2012 #24

All Bioware has to do is merge Dragon Age: Origins with Skyrim and that would be the one. dogknob Jan 2013 #25
