What other games complement your Dominions 3?

The term "rpg" doesn't mean a lot these days, when first-person shooters can have better detailed plots and more developed characters than many "action role-playing" games, where action is grinding and role-playing means you can choose your race.

If you like platformers, here are some good freeware ones. Cave Story is awesome platformer with great plot, and Iji is decent platformer with a not-exactly-great plot but some interesting characters. Out of these, Cave Story is definitely better, and as it has old-school pixel graphics, challenging difficulty level, several plot twists and hard boss fights it might be close to what you want from an RPG.

Also, if you haven't played it yet, there's a Dungeon Siege 1 conversion that lets you play Ultima V with modern graphics: the Lazarus project. It'll be the next not-old RPG I'll try, after I finish Chrono Trigger and Aquaria. And perhaps Myst, if I can get it to work. And play some MP Dominions, and finish my Dom modding projects. And perhaps, even, finish the secret-and-disgustingly-hard Sacred Grounds level in Cave Story.
