If you have not played these story driven RPGs that focus on plot, dialog, and character development, then be sure to play them, as they are some of the best RPGs ever made:

• Baldurs Gate 2
• PlaneScape: Torment

The only story driven RPG that could possibly hope to compete with those two games that is "on the horizon" would be Bioware's spiritual successor to Baldurs Gate 2 called Dragon Age.

I'm beginning to think that DA is a cruel joke. Vaporware? They've been saying it's coming for several years now, and all they have to show are 4 screenshots from 2004. Anyway, as soon as EA takes over, kiss it goodbye.

Baloney.

I expect a media blitz after ME actually releases.

We'll see. I hope you're right.

its not really an rpg is it? its more like fps with rpg elements.

I'm guessing it'll play nearly the same as Oblivion.

Actually, I think it's fair to say that Fallout 3 will probably be a "real" RPG, despite the hybrid shooter elements. Bethesda has confirmed real conversation trees, not the silly topic thing, and they seem to be taking it seriously as a Fallout game.

The remake (not just a port) of FFIV for the DS is coming out next month I think, I can't wait!

If they have to go first person I sincerely hope its closer to Deus Ex than Elder Scrolls.
If they have to go Elder Scrolls I sincerely hope its closer to Morrowind than Oblivion.

I guess I consider Q3 2008 to be over the horizon, not on it. Definitely looking forward to it in any case.
