Thread: RPGs

been playing more da and it is a great game i think the biggest problem i have is it just isnt as tactical as other bioware rpgs. there are more skills for nonmages which makes them more interesting, thats good. but there is a lot less spell variety. and because warriors etc now have skills, they need to be micromanaged more (the ai in theory is very clever with all the rules you can set but, in practice you need to run things yourself). and...

I assume by the responses so far there are no decent ones then

Actually NWN 1 was ported. IT runs well via rosetta. On my Mac Pro Octocore, I have to disable one of the CPUs or NWN will crash, otherwise it's just fine. Good game with a huge community downloadable content available. Getting it for mac is another story... However, check out biowares forums for this and there is a way...

I also think they dropped the ball with NWN2. Regarding the outdoors environment, both games...

if you don't mind an older game, Knights of the Old Republic is one of the best games ever made. I hear great things about Dragon Age, can't wait for it to come to mac so I'll probably get it for Xbox or PC.

I've got to agree with the recommendation of Dragon Age: Origins. It's the best RPG I've played in years. Others I would recommend are Baldur's Gate Icewind Dale Neverwinter Nights Planescape: Torment Mass Effect Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura The Witcher Of course, these are all for Windows. Very few games were/are ported to OS X, even less are RPGs, and even less are decent ports. You might be able to get some...

I completely understand how you feel about WOW. I am...

If you like KOTOR/ Bioware games in general, I highly suggest Jade Empire, which happens to be out for Macs and available here .
