Best RPG PC Games » fallout 2 http://bestrpgpcgames.com Love RPG's? You must play these games!

So I thought I’d put together a list of games that I enjoyed and that also took a while to complete (so as to put off another more withdrawals as long as possible). This is a list you should also consider consulting if you are new to the RPG genre and want to experience some originals.

So in no particular order, here are 3 games I would recommend playing to fill all those spare hours you now have:

Fallout 2

The first Fallout game was one of the first RPG’s I played. Although young, I loved it. Cool weapons, armor and bad dudes and plenty of ways to kill them. Fallout 2 builds upon that original greatness in a huge game with heaps and heaps of content.

As well as a large storyline, there are plenty of towns, side quests and interesting characters to meet along the way. Don’t be put off by the graphics, this is a seriously fun game. Make sure you save often as every decision you make has an effect on the game.

Neverwinter Nights

If you have read this blog, you know that this is one of my favourite games of all time. Perhaps it is my background of playing D&D as I was growing up that I always found this game interesting and exciting. This game provided me with 100′s of hours of fun over about 8 years.

Neverwinter Nights is based on 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons rules. The platinum edition consists of the original game, the two expansions and an official module (like a PDLC these days). There is also a boatload of community made modules that are great fun to play. The first expansion has a few tedious boring bits of just hack and slash but is worth playing as the story line for the second expansions continues on from it.

Diablo II

What better way to prepare yourself for next year’s release of Diablo III than play your way through all 5 Acts of Diablo II on normal, hardcore and hell. The online community is still very active too, so after beefing up your character jump online for some extra gameplay.

For those who don’t know, Diablo II is a hack and slash type RPG. There is a great backing story and an excellent skill tier for each class which will allow you to define your specialization.

Friends recommendations:

While writing this post at university, I also whipped around and asked my friends what games they would recommend. Here they are below:

After the nuclear wars that nearly destroyed the planet, mankind is left barely alive. The planet is a barren wasteland in which barely anything survives anymore.

Fallout 2 is set about 80 years after the conclusion of Fallout 1. Your character is an ancestor of the Chosen One who saved Vault 13 in the first story. This time the world is a lot bigger with about 30 times more side quests.

While out on the quest for your village, you can choose be tainted by the outside world, or to rise above and become a hero. There are many towns that you can visit in your travels, including some that were in the original Fallout, although 80 years has had a remarkable impact on them.

You will enjoy many new perks, weapons and characters throughout the story. The maximum level was 12 in the original game, now it is 99 so you really can turn into the ultimate wasteland warrior/geek/charismatic hero.

As in the first Fallout, always be wary of your decisions as they could impact seriously on you further along the game. I like to use about 6 saves slots so that you can always go back if you make a decision that destroys the ability to complete a major quest.
