You can't up your post count by posting here, so then you might as well share some opinions or thoughts about them while you're at it. ;)

i totally hear you on that. i found they offered too much exploration and i'd end up getting lost in the details. come to think of it though, i've never really liked first person RPGs for the most part, i'd rather play god over a handful of adventurers a la Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights.

Haha Daggerfall's world is stupidly large and I thought Morrowind was big enough! Hmm, I'm reading about Thunderscape and wiki says it has a steampunk feel? Sounds interesting.

In my to-play list I have Gothic II, Wizardry VIII, Divine Divinity and Beyond Divinity.

I think the overall impression of thunderscape that I got was brown :p: Steampunk? Possibly .. I got lost after a while inside some giant mountain halls and I just couldn't be arsed anymore. Interesting game, but quite flawed.

An interesting RPG/Action/Adventure game that I have finished and which I did like quite a lot despite some flaws was Veil of Darkness. :) It's horror themed and in quite a different style from anything else we've discussed up until now, but for people looking for good old titles, that one might be interesting! You play a pilot who becomes stranded in the most gothic valley you could imagine. It has bansheeS, a werewolf, witches, talking corpses, a mysterious ferryman and of course a vampire. Check out it's wikipedia article if interested.

Other than that, I too can vouch for the baldurs gate games. They're excellent and Planescape: Torment was also good. Going back in time some, I also quite liked the first Lands of Lore. It was a bit like Eye of the Beholder, but instead of being mainly in one dungeon complex, it felt more like you were moving around in a world with cities and forests. This was not the first game in that style to do that, probably, but it was the first I played and one that I've actually completed - a couple of times, I think.

Hmm those games look cool if a bit before my time. I'm interested to know how long it takes to complete those older RPGs - are they as much of a timesink as later games?

Btw, here's a compilation of BG songs I put together. I far prefer BG music to Jeremy Soule's music (or any game music for that matter). Time for an avatar change I think.
