If you like adventure games, and it sounds like you do, you need to buy those games

I'd pretty much have to say their my all-time favourite adventure games. Better'n Monkey Island for me. The whole two series (11 games, ranging from 2/3 to 6+ hours) are pretty cheap considering the length of time they'll take you too.

On a freer note I totally have to recommend the Adventure Game Studio website. It's a treasure trove of games hand-made by adventure game lovers, filled with games that range from better than most professional games to total trash. The award winning games are a safe bet to start off.

My favourite comedic AGS adventure game is Jessica Plunkenstein and the Dusseldorf Conspiracy (as recommended by the New York Times

). I lack words for how awesomely witty/random it is.

My other favourite AGS games are the Trilby games. This series of atmospheric, Lovecraftian horror adventures are NOT for the squeamish or feint of heart. I was surprised that a game could make me actually feel uneasy, in a good way

That said they are not full of gratuitous violence just for the sake of it. Well, at first it might seem a little like that but stick with it and you'll discover a truly epic horror plot that is probably my favourite horror story in any medium, and will introduce you to the greatest horror character ever

. It's actually a really cerebral experience and I recommend that -anyone- who has the remotest interest in adventure games, horror themes or good storytelling to give 'em a look. Make sure to play them in this order, without reading up on the others, to get the full experience:

7 Days a Skeptic

Trilby's Notes

6 Days a Sacrifice

NWN2 was cool, especially doing the campaign co-op. Well, at least for my fire-resistant tiefling wizard it was. For some reason my friends objected to my unrelenting barrage of firey aoes in melee range

But as long as I was left standing after the fight they would get up after a little while. Loved that death system

The expansion, Mask of the Betrayer, is better in every way except multiplayer (it has such an engaging story you want to read and carefully consider every dialogue, not so fun for people waiting on you).

This thread, and the one on rogue-type games, has thrown me back into the mud. Of course it helps that besides Dom3minions.com I also host Shadowdale MUD (sdmud.org 7777).

Next maybe I will shift back to Ultima Online on the free servers which are much better than the pay servers. (yes, I host www.ShazzyShard.org)

Im also looking at the new effort by the Space Empires crowd to revitalize their PbEM server and might start hosting some of that. I never lost my love of SEIV.

Oww man, You have to be STRONG!!! I've been able to succefully avoid WoW for years now. I bought it when it was first released, played for a month and quit afterwards.

Trumanator · #**276** April 1st, 2009, 09:37 PM

Well, I have some friends who play it, and I've been looking for a decent RPG. Also, I'm getting a monthly stipend from my ROTC scholarship and have nothing to spend it on

DonCorazon · #**277** April 2nd, 2009, 02:39 AM

I have had the RPG itch of late. Was about to re-load NWN2 and see if I could get into it when I came across this German game - Drakensang. Wonder if its any good?

Nice. I'm here: http://thayos.mybrute.com

What I'd like to know: How does this game work? :P How do you advance? Is it all random?

Ruminant · #**280** April 7th, 2009, 11:39 AM

Haha, this game is certainly making the rounds. One of my friends got me into it the other night, it's strangely addictive

As far as I can tell it's incredibly random. A friend has a level one with 120+ hp, another is the same level as mine and has several abilities seemingly gotten at random while I have none. About all I -do- know is that you sometimes take weapons from the brutes you beat.
