Can anyone recommend any offline RPG's or Adventure games on PC?

Similar to:

  • Jade Empire
  • Gothic II (not as buggy though)
  • Mafia
  • Scrapland
  • Fable: Lost Chapters
  • Dreamfall: The Longest Journey
  • No One Lives Forever 1 & 2
  • Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
  • The Witcher
  • Beyond Good & Evil

NO:

  • Elder Scrolls series
  • Deus Ex series
  • Games before 2002
  • D&D STYLE GAMEPLAY AT ALL! EVEN KOTOR SERIES or N&N SERIES!

If you have a RPG or Adventure game that does not follow a D&D style gameplay and you REALLY enjoyed it, then please feel free to recommend it.

Divine Divinity is really great, if you can endure 2D graphics (personnaly I couldn't care less, the artwork is very detailed and beautiful). It's basically Diablo 2, but it's a lot more open-ended, it's huge, you have interesting dialogues, and just plenty of hours of questing and character building. Of course, if you don't like either D2 or Baldur's Gate, then that game is a big no-no.

Dungeon Siege is boring crap rendered by an awesome engine. All you do is click on the baddies, watch your characters kill the baddies, hit "h" for potions when their life runs low, hit "z" to pick up the items, and repeat. This is like walking on a rail watching your mileage go up. There are no skills, just the most generic spells and weapons ever doing more and more damage, but that doesn't mean anything as the monster get tougher and tougher... In fact, there is barely any gameplay at all! There are no choices to make, no quests, just beautiful environnements rendering at 300fps without ever any loading or hiccup which is a technical feat but it doesn't make the game any more interesting. I laugh at this game.

Oh yeah, there's Sacred which is another D2-like RPG, a bit like Divine Divinity but more combat-oriented. The graphics are nice, but the combat didn't give me a good feel. It has a great fanbase though.

Uh :blink: , if you can prefer Dungeon Siege over Divine Divinity, you're helpless, and I feel sorry for you. Dungeon Siege was designed to be played by over-boiled asaparagus and look good at an E3 trailer, while DD is an actual RPG with actual quests, choices, character evolution, story, etc. Anyway, I finished Dungeon Siege, but, at that time I was helpless. :pacifier:

Sorry for unintentionally causing you to go on an immature rant. I just wanted a suggestion not immature responses.

DD's graphics and animations are unbearable. I will NOT go back in time and say that it has marvelous gameplay when its presentation is poor. It looks like an updated version of Runescape. That's how bad it looks.

Move on.

Maybe my rant was immature, but at least it made sense, whereas yours don't.

Divine Divinity has unbearable graphics and animations? Actually, the graphics are extremely detailed, even for today's standards; nearly everything you see onscreen is a discrete item that can be picked up, inspected, thrown about if you'd like. Animations are very smooth and everything is stylised. This is exact opposite of Runescape, I wonder how can you make such a comparison. The game was actually praised for its graphics (see Gamespot, IGN), and it came out on the year as Dungeon Siege which was also praised for its graphics (and came out earlier than Divine Divinity...).

    • I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."
    • Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.
    • Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
