aaronrex: Can anyone here recommend a good RPG that would conform to that, and runs on Win7 64 without too much hassle?

Thanks in advance!

Fenixp: Yes, totally "I want something that involves leveling, and hacking and slashing, upgrading gear, and some plot." I'm afraid that's not exactly a good recommendation in this case, unless you're using Joe's "The Guild" logic

kalirion: Well there is hacking and slashing. And leveling. And quite a bit of plot. I guess there's no upgrading gear, but there is upgrading companions, which you can think of as gear :)

aaronrex: Hi, just signed up and looking forward to playing some good old games here! I have always had the nostalgic feeling that the late 90's early 00's were the golden age of classic RPGs, even tho I have never played many of them (due to owning a poor puter at the time).

I've never really played the likes of Planescape: Torment, the Baldur's Gate series or Arcanum.

I am especially interested in the last there, Arcanum, but I'm hesitant. For the next 6 months I'll be finishing my University studies and don't want to sink myself into something too epic. I want something that involves leveling, and hacking and slashing, upgrading gear, and some plot, but not the overwhelming scope of things like Baldur's Gate. Just something I can pick up late in the evening for an hour before bed and come back to a few days later. I'm sure you know the type of play experience I mean! :-)

orcishgamer: Arcanum doesn't take oodles of time compared to the other two. It's a good, first, classic RPG for those who play them. Its story is first rate too, it rings in second to Planescape, but there's no shame in that since PS:T might have the best storyline of all time.

Starkrun: PS:T could be played on a netbook and if you go minimal and only run your core 10 processes and PS:T you can just play it all day like a massively HUGE handheld.. with the pause feature you dont need mega quick reflexes to fight...

in fact you only have a handful of fights you'd ever need to be in!

hobbes543: You probably could run it on higher settings without killing processes on a net book. Net books are more powerful than the computers that were out when PS:T was released.

liquidsnakehpks: if you want to like rpgs i would suggest playing the following rpgs in order in no time you will love rpg games
1. diablo 2 and diablo lod
2.torchlight
3.titan quest gold edition
4.sacred gold edition
5. finally jump on to neverwinter nights diamond edition

Starkrun: This list WINS... Torchlight is only Singleplayer though... Torchlight 2 will be full co-op so maybe that could be moved... everything else is co-op/multi... Titans Quest is by far the greatest game there that will seriously eat your time away... its fantastic!
