Hello,
do you know of a 3d single player rpg game?
Hi Splicedice,
Many of the games I will mention will have been mentioned already but anyway:
Mass Effect 1 & 2 (science fictional setting of a futuristic Earth)
Dragon Age: Origins and Awakening (fantasy fictional setting of knights, magic, dragons... the usual good stuff with a very good story)
The Witcher (and if you want to splurge, the Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings) -again setting is fantasy fiction set in medieval like times
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (commonly known as just Oblivion) - again fantasy fictional setting in medieval like era. This is an epic game and one that you can play for hours without getting bored.
More games in the same setting but with differing gameplay are:
Two Worlds - get the epic edition lots of fixes for bugs and was recently on sale for 5 dollars on amazon as a download (also has a sequel Two Worlds II if you like the first)
Gothic 3 Gold edition (get this one rather than the standard edition because it has lots of fixes for bugs that were prevalent on release.
Sacred 3- Definately get this game
I know I will
Arcania Gothic 4
Risen
Ok enough of that setting. Other single player rpg games are:
Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas- these two games have an interesting setting: futuristic post apocalypse world and you are a hero trying to survive, etc. Both games were buggy on release- Fallout 3 GOTY edition has most of that fixed and there is a huge community of modders and unofficial patchers to fix the stuff the devs didn't. It is definately worth a try. I'd say start with fallout 3.
Assassin's Creed series (how could no one have mentioned these...? I know it seems more of an action game but it has rpg elements too you know
) That is Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Assassin's Creed Revelations (not yet released) if you want to know the titles. As the name suggests it is about the life (or rather lives) of different assassins set in 1. medieval 2. renaissance eras. However, the gameplay is different than the others in that you do not control the character in a continuous timeline... you will see what I mean if you get the game... definately a must play.
Hope that was informative.
