Looking for a RPG like Baldur's Gate:DA for PC

[ric0chet06]

I love Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for PS2. I don't have a ps2 anymore, just a 360 and PC. Are there any games with SIMILAR graphics with similar gameplay? Not really gameplay like oblivion, but kind of more scripted but still long and fun. I've been researching ps2 emulators and stuff like that to play on pc, but that seems like a lot of work. Any recommendations? And please don't recommend WoW, I hate that game as I've seen how it ruins my friends lives.

It seems you are looking for Diablo clones (action rpg) if so I may say Dungeon Siege II and Titan Quest are two awesome entries in the Diablo genre, they also have a pretty good story and addicting gameplay (especially in mutliplayer), don't get the DSII expansion pack (broken world) it's not very good and it doesn't add anything significant, I haven't tried the expansion pack for TQ yet.

Also, later this year Gas Powered Games is going to release Space Siege, the spiritual successor to Dungeon Siege II only set in space but with the same addictive diablo gameplay.

I also recommend Dungeion Siege II (and I).

Along the same lines, but you only play as a single character, if you can find it Westwood's NOX was a neat little game and I thought it was whole lot better than Diablo, IMO.

Also, try Divine Divinity (again, only one player character) which is another minor little gem that though it has 2D rendered graphics it does have a really interesting story line.

thanks, Titan quest looks just right. Maybe I'll get a third copy of Diablo 2 since my last two somehow walked off over the years...

Dark Alliance wasn't an RPG, just so we're all clear. It was an action game.

This game I had recommended several times, but it's only available from amazon or ebay nowadays:
Planescape: Torment

I think it's kind of funny that you are looking for a game on the PC that is similar to the spinoff titles from a series that originally began on the PC and that is also heralded as some of the best RPG games ever made.

But, for what it's worth, both Titan Quest and Dungeon Siege were excellent suggestions.

I agree with Titan Quest. Sacred is good. Sacred 2 will be release this year ( i hope)

Oh, how about Nox?

Dungeon Siege 1 was a lot of mindless loot-gathering fun. It looked good for its time but should run on anything now.

:thumbsup: Tonnes of fun.

Mythos may be a good one for you as well if you can get in the beta or just wait for release.

Is Dungeon Siege II any good? I liked the first one, but never got the sequel.

DS2 is a lot more linear than DS1, but the campaign is enjoyable none the less. For multiplayer, it sucks by comparison.
