Borderlands Teaser

[d2duke]

Does anyone have any decent suggestions for RPGs that are of a more recent mark that don't have the stink of Ob-livion and it's ilk?

Eschalon: Book 1
The Witcher
NWN 2: Mask of the Betrayer

The first one is a good indie that emulates Ultima 2-3, the latter two have been universally praised for the storytelling, TW being strong on choice and consequence and MotB being compared to PS:T favourably.

Mass Effect

 

[Wasteland Stories]

Mass Effect

Yeah, Old-School CRPG

 

[Morbus]

Mass Effect

Yeah, Old-School CRPG

C'mon, he was clearly joking

 

[Ashmo]

"A hell of a lot of guns"? The writing is atrocious.

 

[Killzig]

looks delightfully cheesy. A Post Apoc Diablo type of loot fest? I'm down for that.

 

[Brother None]

"A hell of a lot of guns"? The writing is atrocious.

Matrix, man, Matrix

 

[Ashmo]

I got the reference. It still sounded out of character, though.

 

[The Dutch Ghost]

Well I guess it looks okay, it just not really gives me "I really have to try this out" vibe.
I don'tneed to say what it kind of looks like as others have already made those references.

And yes, the whole gun part was really overdone.

I take it that this is probably taking place in some game future in which once a great human federation/empire/government controlled a lot of planets but fell at some point, leaving scraps of technology behind and places such as that vault.
Now scavengers and adventurers like the player are looking for such places to make their own fortune.

Can we pretend this is Fallout 3 from now on?

 

[Killzig]

it's not fallout, it's not meant to be fallout. it's diablo gone post apoc.

 

[analord]

it's diablo gone post apoc.

How do you figure?

Oh and I heard Mass Effect was lame.

 

[fallout ranger]

it's not fallout, it's not meant to be fallout. it's diablo gone post apoc.
