Title: Good RPG for PC
Post by: Zerlina on January 11, 2011, 04:09:14 PM

Well not really PC cause I don't have a PC anymore :(. But anyway... looking for a game- what's a good RPG for computer (Mac) with a good story?

Emulators.

Also old games. Like the good ol' Septerra Core. Or the PC remake of Grandia 2.

Maybe hit up some Heroes of / Might and Magic games if that kind of thing interests you. It has story but not as much rpg.

Arcanum, if you're into Baldur's Gate type RPGs.
Arcanum is ****ing great...made by the same people as Fallout.

ed: You'll need WINE though, to use it.
It works perfectly with WINE, though.

Well the story is actually great but NOBODY reads it while playing.

Lies! I did read it all.

Haven't played it but my friend said Neverwinter Night 2 was pretty good. Assuming it does work on Mac.
Or, well  (George), you could do as Prpl_Mage said; emulators, which I suppose is a pretty good option.

NWN2 has a Mac port.

Fallout 1 + 2 or Arcanum are probably the best choices you can make. I'd think they'd all work on WINE perfectly fine. Or Deus Ex. Actually yeah play Deus Ex. It's technically an FPS/RPG hybrid, but it's a very good game with solid RPG mechanics and an excellent story.

Garry's Mod Gangwars gamemode. Is Garry's Mod on Mac now? I'm sure I heard it was!

The Gangwars gamemode is supposed to be an RP, not an RPG. It's just that it's so horribly designed that it turns into a deathmatch with RPG elements. The guy who coded it is like the GMod Bobby Kotick, too.

It's not extensively RPG, but you gain EXP, level up, increase stats, find weapons, upgrade weapons and armour and add augmentations
to weapons.

Anyway, it hardly fills the "good story" criteria :~

Thanks guys.

I do already have an emulator but I checked out a couple of the games you mentioned, and I think I might check out Fallout and NWN.

Funny, I just bought NWN to play with a friend.

We're having issues...
