Gotta love RPG's...

I have about 20 games installed of which over half are RPG's.

At a rough estimate, to complete all these games it would take over 1000 hours, no joke! That about 42 days playing non-stop 24/7, or if you played a casual 1 hour a day (a fair bit considering its a travel laptop not your main gaming pc) it would over 2 and a half years!

Good value? Well, all 20 games could be had for under £100 thanks to their age and would give you the equivelant amount of entertainment as aproximately £3,000 cinema showings (just the ticket, double that for food, travel etc), £6,000-£9,000 of DVD's or up to £20,000 of Blu-Rays. Or if your average night out at the pub for 4 hours at £10, aproximately £2,500 worth. Or how about this, £30,000 to £80,000 of football tickets!

Pointless thread? Most definately but I just felt like pointing the value of RPG's (especially BG2, 300+ hours alone outa that one!)

 

Sure.

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
Fallout 1 and 2
Planescape Torment
Arcanum
Divine Divinity
Final Fantasy VII

Those should keep you busy for next 600+ hours

 

haha Baldur's Gate 1 was a sick game lol i remmeber it had 8 cds it was nuts, if only i could accually find all 8 cds

Accually if u want to try a nice rpg game, but i havent tested it yet on the AAO its called Dungeon Siege, its all 3d has great mp(lots of item hacking though) and its fun.

 

I was actually going to try that, I heard it runs very well on the AAO. I decided not to bother having already completed it though, and unlike my list above which ive mostly completed, it has a crap story and character interaction so the only replayability is for the action.

 

You have a great mod for Dungeon Siege called "Ultima V Lazarus" which will let you play the original Ultima V in 3D!
700Mb download - playtime = more than 60 hours(!? never finished the game when I was 12 and I still have to play Lazarus... )

Ultima VI Project also looks promising...

I highly recommend Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic and it's sequel.

 

err.. will it work decently on the AAO though?

Does Dungeon Siege require screen resize tweaks and stuff?

 

Run it in 800x600 and turn on correct aspect ratio or something to that nature in the Intel Graphics panel. It won't be widescreen, but it will be the correct size.

 

Oh I see... thanks!
