Short answer: yes but most of the customization comes from items.

They're still brilliant games...a lot of people say they're the best in the genre. I'm personally a huge Fire Emblem and Tactics Ogre fan. If you like Final Fantasy Tactics you really need to check out the Tactics Ogre games...since FF Tactics is a carbon copy of the series. lol

I was looking through my boxed pc games and found another one that I forgot: Disciples II Gold. But it's a bit more like a turn based strategy rpg (complete with "fog of war" and unit fabrication)

So I created my first char in skyrim. She's a dark elf necromancer assassin. This isn't some custom build I found. I'm loosely basing it on a character I first started playing about 10 years ago in a MUD I used to play. MUDs are basically text-based MMORPGs. Believe it or not, MUDs existed even before the internet. I took some "photos" of my character. I posted some of these in another thread, but most people don't follow both threads and plus I have some new ones including one especially for Niks.

Edit: I rehosted the images you can see them in the post below

Um...this is very hard. I could probably make a list of my top 30 RPGs...in fact I made a list of my top 30 games of this console generation and had a really hard time with it lol

My list is by no means static and is subject to change (Skryim is up there, but we've already talked about that - it should be noted that a majority of my experience with that is actually on 360), so in no particular order...

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Dark Souls
Dragon's Dogma
Chrono Trigger
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Sorta tempted to mention a bunch of others but I'll cut myself off there.

@Humble, was about to call out how many of those aren't RPGS, but then realized you are listing games, not rpgs, haha.

@niks, surprised to hear somebody liking dragon age that much. I will have to play it again some day. Is Deus Ex really that good? I actually just started it (the very first one) like last week. I was enjoying the first mission...killing everybody in the enemy stronghold, when all of a sudden I get hit by an enemy at the very top, I kill the enemy, but I start continuously taking damage and I die...I must have been poisoned or something? It is a bunch of BS though, and I totally lost my motivation to play the game. Which is unfortunate because the training exercises took like an hour.

@night

i am talking about dragon age origins. not DA2, that game iispretty bad. DA:O is a pretty solid game that takes you in its universe and wont let you go.

Deus Ex 1 is really good. i even think i should put it a bit up on my list. and btw i am surprised you only died once in the first level. deus ex is hard an challanging. but for everything the enemy can do you can counter it. and i do not think you died of poison, i think there was an enemy behind you. happend to me. if it was poison, well then you should have had the medicine to it. just give it another try and download some graphics overhauls

@humble, that was actually the only game on your list that I've never played! hah.

@niks, Maybe I'll give it a go again. Probably some unseen enemy. I'm only playing on Hard, as opposed to "realistic" so it isn't the biggest challenge, I just have no idea what killed me that time. I'll give it another shot at some point...probably when i'm done with skyward sword!

@Night For some reason I liked it a lot more than all the other Halos. I feel it had the best map designs etc. which is probably why I like it more. I ended up playing it a lot with friends, but yeah, it is definitely not an RPG haha.

So, it looks like I have Dawnguard now. There was some screwup with Steam and a bunch people got it for "free". I'm glad I noticed because I was installing a mod and you have to check whether you have Dawnguard or not.

Also, I'm not have any problems with adept (the default difficulty setting) being too easy. I might install a difficulty mod when I finish the game and play through with another character.

Here's my top 5 RPGs
1. Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2
2. Gladius
3. Might and Magic 6
4. Final Fantasy Tactics
5. Skyrim (someone has to mention it)

Also with honorable mention

Phantasy Star Online - Would have made my top 5 if I had been able to play multiplayer. If all goes well with my hands I will try to play PSO for computer which does have multiplayer

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn - This was a well made game and I give it a lot of props for the voice actors, but it just didn't suck me in like other RPGs

Fable - There were a lot of things I liked about this game like the open endedness of character creation and it could have easily made my top 5. There were a lot of things that needed improvement though.

Destiny of an Emperor - An RPG for the NES set in ancient China. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't mind crappy graphics, but it doesn't really hold up to more recent RPGs. Still my favorite RPG for the NES though with Final Fantasy being a close second (which also doesn't hold up to more recent RPGs).

Yeh I have the GoG.com version. I really like it. Just be aware that more of the "gamey" elements from Amnesia TDD are not present (no sanity meter, no tinder boxes) - but I didn't really care about that and enjoyed the experience. It's quite good if you let yourself get immersed. If you're in the right mindset (ie not constantly complaining about previously mentioned changes), I'd say it's about as scary (I think the story is better written too).

I got amnesia during the steam sale. I've been wanting to play a good horror ever since I played ZombiU, which was the first game in over a decade to make me scared for my character! I want to be afraid to die, and to tread carefully. I hope Amnesia won't disappoint, when I do get around to it!

Well, as a Zelda master (haha), I can say that I greatly appreciate it! While I think that the N64 sword system was superior to motion controls, it is still kind of cool. This Zelda by far has the fewest tedious elements (like by the time I finished the first dungeon, I had a wallet that could hold over 1000 rupees!) And in general, the SPRINT function while running and LEAP function while climbing make those long walks or climbs take less than half as long as they used to.

My major complaint so far (and I'm not far) is that the standard weapon clad enemies have too much ai, and it is annoying as hell. They can block any direction, and change their blocking direction as you move your sword around. Seems like a feature that should go into a stronger enemy, not that standard ones. It just makes killing them take longer than what I find pleasant. Haha.

So far overall it feels like Zelda, with very smooth controls, but not the best combat system in a Zelda, that's for sure.

I think I mentioned this earlier in the thread but XCOM Enemy Unknown is definitely the scariest game I have played :) Jokes aside, I truly was afraid to play it at times because I did not want my characters to die haha. It is hard going into a battle knowing that a character you have spent 40 hours leveling up etc. could die at any moment and be gone forever.

I didn't play the original Amnesia, but I watched Pewdiepie play it. It was scary just to watch. I even stopped watching some of the episodes in full screen because it was getting too intense. Of course I scare easily so don't take my word for it that it's scary. One thing brilliant about the fear factor in Amnesia is that it didn't rely overly on jumpscares. It was more slowly building up tension. The custom stories (aka mods) do have a lot of jumpscares which is fine too. There was an interview of one of the developers and he was talking about how if you die a lot in a game it's not as scary so in Amnesia you might go long periods of time without encountering a monster, but when you do it's even more scary because of that. I'm planning on watching Pewdiepie play the new Amnesia also, but that's going to be too stressful now. I've gotten jumpscares playing Skyrim - those damn skeevers!

@Lotus When I played through Amnesia I only played it after midnight with the lights off and headphones on :) Made for a great experience. There was also one day where I started to play and I did not feel as frightened as usual so I decided to wait and play the next day. I always go for max immersion.

@8bit, I'm really loving Skyward Sword. I am still not terribly far, but I love the story that is being told more than any other Zelda. And the gameplay is so intuitive and well-paced that I don't ever feel like I'm just wasting time (Zelda has been guilty of this for me in the past).

A noticeable difference in this Zelda is a decreased difficulty. So far, the dungeons have been fairly linear (I've only done 3 dungeons), and quicksand/falling off cliffs doesn't remove any hearts. Also, I think when you die, it gives you the option to continue, instead of just saying "game over". I only died once on a Boulder dodge misshap (where if you miss the dodge you die, and your fairies won't even come out to save you!), but it gave me the option to continue instead of taking me back to the last save.

Anyways, I recommend it, I just played it for like 8 hours straight.

I was going to try to not bring up Skyrim (too much) in this thread, but I just watched Tobuscus play "Taste of Death". I read some of the YouTube comments and a few forum threads. If anyone wants to comment they should probably put in spoilers. Even though a lot of people have already played Skyrim, some people reading this thread might not have. I haven't watched/played a lot of the quests yet myself so I don't want to be spoiled either in regards to certain quests.

Has anyone here played Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst for PC? It's free so I'm downloading it as we speak. I'm kind of scared to play any online games after hearing the horror stories in this thread about trollish bitch boy online gamers. There's also a new PSO coming out. PSO 2 is already out in Japan, but it's unclear if it will be available for US although I'm reading it's possible to get some sort of hacked version. There's also a PSO coming out for the new Playstation Vita.

We actually had NES when I was a kid, but I knew someone who had the arcade version of pacman at his house. There was also an arcade game called Pac-man adventures or something which was a side scrolling game. I thought arcade games were awesome because that's all there were before I bought an NES. I know there was Atari, but I didn't have one. Some of the first games I bought for my NES were games I initially played in the arcade like Ghosts and Goblins and Ikari Warriors. Those were tough games. I didn't get anywhere near finishing either of those (except with cheat codes). I'm surprised I didn't also buy Gauntlet.

have you played san andreas/vice city and GTA 4?

if so i can use the comparision to tell you how it play's. I personally hated GTA 4, it was boring to play. no fun at all to go killing random persons or stealing something in the military base. it was toooooooooooooooooooooooo realistic, so much it took away the fun. san andreas and vice city were a lot of fun.

GTA 5 feels like san andreas. everything is fun to play again. it is really a sandbox game now where stealing murdering destroying things is your primary goal. the story, well i am not really far, is good. it is a good and fun game, just do not go to the shop thinking this will be the very best game of the era, it is not. there are still some flaws. the graphics are horrible. ect. ect.
