video game recommendation[views:7260][posts:16]_______________________________ [May 27,2012 12:31pm - sean ""] Any recommendations for great games that feature knights, castles, and shit like that? Watching/reading Game of Thrones has got me wanting to play a fantasy video game. I like RPGs, but I'm not in the mood for anything with spiky-haired cutesy Japanese warriors. Thinking of waiting for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition as I never played it back in the day. I've missed out on a lot of the classics. fyi, I've got a PC, PS2, and Xbox classic at my disposal. |

Other notable older but still fun as fuck titles: Nox Dungeon Siege Diablo II Icewind Dale I and II Baldur's Gate I and II (You can download these at gog.com also and they have a widescreen mod to make it look amazing http://www.gibberlings3.net/widescreen/ - also works for PS:T and ID I and II) Planescape torment Or just play Hexen or Heretic (doom like games) |

| _________________________________________ [May 27,2012 11:18pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] Oldschool: If you somehow haven't played Baldur's Gate (I & II) or Icewind Dale (I & II), get on that shit. Also, Temple of Elemental Evil - just be aware that you'll literally have to install 3rd party patches to even get it to work. (Totally worth it, though.) |

It's really fucking good. It was worth it just to hear the soundtrack again. Going back to it once Im done Mass Effect II |

| _________________________________________ [May 29,2012 12:05am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Icewind Dale is a) a little less character-driven (you create your own party, as opposed to dragging around NPCs) and b) a little crazier - it's definitely on "hardcore mode". You can't just barge through shit, you have to make regular trips back to town and not overextend yourself, or you get F'd in the A. (It's kind of like actual AD&D, that way.) |
