    How's that exactly? I mean it has quests and leveling and stuff. (Not flaming, just genuinely confused.)

    An RPG is not about quests and leveling and "stuff". It's about meaningful events that shape your character and add meaning to what he or she is setting out to do. Leveling is fluff added to keep you interested.... or busy. I posted a a few short paragraphs on the Bethesda forums about what RPGs should be about.

    o.O Why's that? Is it intimidating?


    Currently my to-play-list goes like this:

    1. Oblivion
    2. Mass Effect
    3. Neverwinter Nights II
    4. The Witcher
    .... and after that, well, it's still a long way off.


    I checked out the Baldur's Gate series, but they use the top-down, Diablo-like perspective, which I really really dislike, so.. meh. So does the first Neverwinter Nights game, I think.

    Btw, I'm curious as to how Mass Effect performs on a mid-range computer. It's a new game, and the graphics look pretty snazzy, so I'm not sure my computer can handle it.

    Even if you lower the graphics, it looks rather nice. And it's a rather nice game too, so try it.
    It does take a whopping 10 gig or so to install. And of course there's the ****** copy protection.
    And what are your specs? How well does Oblivion perform, for instance?

    Haven't tried Oblivion either, but RTW runs okay on medium settings, if that helps any.

    Uh... I think you'll have to run MEPC on low graphics.
    There's a neat site which has tips for how to improve performance. Give me a minute or so and I'll give it to you.

    EDIT: and here you go! TweakGuides.com. It's also got guides for Oblivion and Neverwinter Nights 2.

    Well, for on it has the top-down perspective, which you dislike for some reason. Another reason would bethat it is a bit aged. That may not bother you, but remember that older RPGs tend to be much more difficult and in-depth, demanding some micro-managing. If you really want to try it, go right ahead. My friend loves the series.
