Good single player PC Rpgs?

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of the very best RPGs ever.

I'm playing that now, and just got to the point where I realized -- "huh, good thing I didn't take Weapon Focus (Blasters)..."

It's a game where you'll want a character editor at one point, because the choices that seem optimal at the beginning may be very not optimal at the middle.

But yeah, excellent so far!

Definitely, yes. Highly recommendable.

It was alright. Remove the light sabres and it would have been a mediocre game, IMHO. Light sabres add a high level of coolness factor.

Not just the light sabres... the whole game was simply very well done.

I'm a big fan of the BG and IWD games. One of the greatest things about the BG series is the joinable NPCs. This allows for a lot of replayability, if you so choose.

BTW, I hear that SW:KotOR is a lot like BG in that way. I'll definitely have to check that one out.

Also, PS:T (mentioned earlier) is one of the very few cRPGs that's story really motivates the game, and has very little to do with combat. As a matter of fact, it's beneficial if you die from time to time! Very different, very cool game.

I'll recommend Planescape: Torment as well.

Also: Fallout 1+2

He said "Good"...

Indeed. Best game since BG2.

There's also Temple of Elemental Evil. Not the best cRPG around, but still quite fun.

The Fallout series is great, indeed.

Go buy Planescape: Torment. Play it.

You will not regret it.

Again I agree - Planescape Torment is by far the best computer RPG I've played.

Neverwinter Nights II is also good even if the ending is a bit of a let down!

I'd of probably gotten Baldur's Gate II (and expansion) if it came bundled with the original (and expansion). I heard that there is a new Fallout boxed set, at least in Europe, but alas, I have no money. And damnit, Torment (as well as Homeworld 2) stopped being sold a year or two before I finally decided I wanted it!
