If you’re carrying nothing it won’t weigh you down |
I'm curious about everyone's opinion on the last good first-person fantasy rpg (that's not elder scrolls, might and magic or a mmorpg).

Is it just me or has this genre of games really dissappeared from the the market over the past decade? There was a time when first-person fantasy-realm RPGs were everywhere. It seems like a waste of a good genre not to continue making this kind of game. Bethesda proved that this genre can be a real popular cash cow so I don't know why other companies aren't even trying to make the same style of games.
What a waste |

EQ doesn't count because it's a mmorpg |

Umm....49. Tell me what they were...or are. Or give me your definition of "good". |

I would say the Thief series...but that was more of an Adventure game. I never got into the Gothic games...and System Shock and Deus Ex aren't fantasy. Betrayal at Krondor was okay...but I don't remember if that was First Person or not. So I stand by me earlier statement. |

single player first-person fantasy-realm RPGs used to be a big thing. stuff like Wizardry VI VII & VIII, Lands of Lore 1 & 2, Ultima Underworld 1 & 2, Dungeon Hack, Arx Fatalis and Might and Magic VI, VII & VIII |

Originally posted by Alekhin I don't consider that game to be in a fantasy realm (by the standard definition of fantasy) |

hmm, I just found one on ign called Wizards & Warriors (2000). I'll have to look into it.
such a shame that companies aren't trying to follow in Bethesda's footsteps |

Yup....I was there. Stonekeep too....but again, for me, all those were just okay. I"m trying to remember the name of another one...the music was awesome...kind of creepy. There was a huge wall in the starting area and the first objective was to get beyond that wall. It's gonna drive me crazy until I think of it. I'll agree with Lands of Lore though....forgot about that one. Nothing has grabbed me and kept me interested like The Elder Scrolls series. I don't think I ever finished any of those other games. |

Gothic 3 is pretty damn good now when it's fixed. If it's not broken, you are not innovating. |

Lots of good 3rd person RPG's that have come out recently, Two Worlds 2, Risen, Divinity 2 to name a few. But the only somewhat recent first person games that come to mind beyond bethesda's stuff is like..Wizardry 8, Arx Fatalis, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. |

Originally posted by japo My first PC game, crawling in the corridors/dungeons wondering what and when I would enter the outside wouldnt that be cool but it never came lol. Those were the days when patches was a not known concept, I didnt even have internet back then. The game was buggy in the icewitch realm, crashed on me every time.
But then Morrowind came........ |
