[QUOTE="Kzach, post: 5561840, member: 56189"] I'm currently game starved. I'm starting to get worn out on Mass Effect and everything I try I end up comparing it to and find it falls short. ME1 & 2 have a decent blend of RPG, action, story and gameplay that I can't seem to find anywhere else. I've tried Crysis, Half Life, Dead Space, Dragon Age, Far Cry, Left 4 Dead, Portal and The Witcher. I've already played through other RPG's that I can think of like Baldur's Gate (1, 2 & ToB), Temple of Elemental Evil, Dungeon Siege, Neverwinter Nights (all of them), Diablo (all) and KotoR (all). What I'm looking for mainly is the immersion into the story. Choices aren't as important if the story is really good. The gameplay doesn't have to be awesome but it has to be at least fun. Crysis, for instance, is apparently a really awesome FPS but I got bored of it very quickly. The Witcher is apparently a great story, but the gameplay was so tedious and cumbersome that I gave up soon after the interminably long first half a dozen cut scenes. Mass Effect 1 & 2 are the primary example of what I'm looking for in a game. I've heard good things about the Morrowind series but I wouldn't know where to start. I've also considered the Fable series but I can't seem to find a demo and I don't trust reviews.
