I want a PC RPG, A nice one, preferably no turned based battles, and something that will be long enough that I won't finish it before I get bored of it, but entertaining enough that I won't get bored of it before I finish it.

My attention span is generally timed in the minutes rather than the hours unless something entertaining/though-provoking/humorous is happening.

There is £25 in my pocket. I can probaby scrounge £5-£10 off my Mother when she comes to give me a lift home.

Talk me into one.


And no, I didn't want to use the PC gaming Forum, it's too quiet.

Everquest is not a game, it is digitised crack.

And I refuse to even discuss the Legend of Mir.

All MMORPG's are beardy. Especially everquest. That has hirsuite written all over it. And it is crap.

Ledgend of Mir is constantly on Game Network. It is clearly crap. Although this is a rubbles channel as Jeff has left and now it mainly shows porn and text messages.

BERADS name is BERADS, pure and simple, like David Beckham.

Fantastic. That would be ample. Especially as I have games liying around that I only ever played for around an hour.

No. I'm known by a lot of names, but that isn't one as far as I know..

yey BEARDS.!


Get Baldur's Gate 1 or 2, they are absolutely huge, very involving and have more side quests than you'd care to count. If your not to bothered about knowing the full story go straight for number 2, as it improves even more on the first one.

If it sounds too beardy for you (no pun intended) then get Icewind Dale I or II, made by the same people but IWD focuses more on lots of action and combat and is less super geek :)


Failing that, Morrowind is huge and vast, opened ended but also has a main story you can progress whenever you feel like it. Although you did mention it, and you probably would get bored before you finished it (although you'll probably spend over 100 hours on it first). Still, if you do start to get bored you can just concentrate on the main story.


All of those are real time combat too. And is your name Andy by any chance?

Sorry. It wasn't my fault - you can't seriously expect me to read the topic, can you?

(Say 'Read' in an itallically kind of way)

Get something 7. Then you can say, "I brought Game X 7 at 7"

No, I don't have many friends.

I've just played Final Fantasy 4, 5, and 6 on the PS, I'm bored of the FF series for now, hence the "Preferably no turn based battles" bit.
