Unfortunately I find myself with a lot of time on my hands at present, I can only read so many books so I am looking for a good game(s) to play. I hope you lads can suggest something you might think I would like from my played games below?


Played and loved

The Settlers series
The Anno series
The Spellforce series
Oblivion
Skyrim
Morrowind
Sacred 2
Risen 1 (not 2)

Tried but did'nt like or just could not 'get into'

The Civilisation series
Age of empire series
Total war series
The Patrician series
The Guild series
Stronghold 3 (its just awful and 2 won't work on my system)
Warhammer games

Games I just cannot stand.
FPS
Racing games

As you can see I like a mix of strategy and RPG's I have downloaded and tried literally hundreds of games but I am either
very fussy or as I get older things games impress me a lot less.

I love the look of the Total war and AOE games but I really like micro management of resources/housing/needs rather than the
military aspect.

I prefer an historic or fantasy setting, rather than present day or future.

There are a lot more to add to the lists above but thats all I can remember at present.

Thanks for any an all suggestions, I apologise for not remembering every game I have tried! Smile

Jagged Alliance games, most preferably #2 with the 1.13 community patch. Won't get more micro than this. Not fantasy though.

Also Dragon Age 1, and strictly #1.

Maybe KOTOR.

Mount and Blade games, preferably Warband.

Nexus - The Jupiter Incident is micro as hell. Sci-Fi tho.

I noticed you didnt mention Baulder's gate series and Planescape torment ,do your self a favor and play Planescape torment (with all the patches and mods out there ) and BG 1 & 2 (also there is a very huge mod that merge 1 & 2 and convert 1 to the engine of part 2 and make the 2 parts as one game as part 1 ends it continue to part 2 like its one game but i cant remember the name of the mod . Smile

Also you can give legend of grimrock a try although it got FPS interface.

Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning is a good game. Also Dark Souls for PC is coming in 3 mounts, so you may want to check it out too.

You can never 'try' Freelancer enough. Just do yourself a favor and install it again and do a play through. Then download the Discovery mod and play on the official Discovery server that usually has 100+ people on it for some great fun.

It's worth sticking with the Civ games until it "clicks" because when it does you've got somthing that will last you months, or even years
I'm going to go find the latest patch for Civ5 and get it installed

Yeah I have tried the Civ games over and over but can never really get the feel of them. Maybe I should try again.

I played Risen 2 for about 20 hours but just could not get up the interest to finish it, it seemed to be the same puzzles over and over again in a slightly different setting.

But thanks for all the replies more are appreciated.
