Can anyone make a suggestion of a really good single player RPG? Specifically I'm looking for something that's high-fantasy. Ideally I'd like to find a game where you can play a paladin type character that spends a lot of the game tearing through undead. This video is a good example of what I'm looking for, but a lot less cartoony (a dark Ravenloft type atmosphere would be a plus), also less hack-and-slash and more holy justice!! I liked some of the things I heard about Witcher, but I'd like to play a character that has some divine inspiration (complete with zombies catching fire once they get hit with the pally's sword, etc.). If anyone could suggest something along those lines, or with even one or two elements, I'd really appreciate it.

witcher is a good choice. Try 2 worlds> oblivion?

Oblivion is nice, but I think Morrowind (it's predecessor) was much better. Except for the graphics, but there are some mods out there that improves them.

Haven't played it, but how about Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines? It used the Half Life 2 engine, but not much physics. It's still on the list of games I would like to play.

That dark messiah game maybe (similar to oblivion)? whatever it's called.

strider, do you have a fairly up-to-date pc to run oblivion and the likes?

dark messiah is a crappy game and multiplayer is basically knifing in source

Currently im playing Hellgate:London, and its awesome. Even in SP.

in gothic 3 you can wear paladin amour and cast certain paladin type spells ,and theres plenty of skeletons and undead to fight. After 100+hrs im allmost finish o yea and you can get a flame sword.

Crap, forgot Guild Wars, I don't really play it anymore, but I did play almost 2k hours, look into it, one of my favorite games.

You can play a paladdin in Neverwinter Nights 2 and there's lots of undead to fight, the main guy is an undead guy. Also you might try icewind dale, its fairly old, 2d graphics based on the baldur's gate engine but features extensive undead killing also it's quite tactical in its battle system.

The Paladin sequence in Gothic 2 is pretty cool as well. Graphics are a few gens old but still very servicable.

If you play it try to find the gold box that includes the expansion.

heroes of the annihilated empire try google it, good rpg style with twist & mucho of undead

jaguarskx - don't wait, play Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines already Game has wonderfull atmosphere, with its loud, "dark" music in vampire clubs, or spooky hotel, or zombies coming at you from every side.. The plot must be one of the best i've played. And people are still releasing patches once every month or so, i guess, trying to fine-tune it to perfection
However, it's not the "Paladin" game striderryu was asking for.. I myself now play might and magic 7, with a paladin in my party, fight for the "good" side; it's a good game, just very old But next RPG I'll try will probably be Witcher.

I would like to but I gotta work, hang out and play Galactic Civ 2 and finish NWN2. I'll play Vampire once I'm done with one of those games, and I need to add Crysis and Civ 4 to my list of must play games.

Diablo II
Baldur's Gate II
