4k hours in new vegas (pc)

Fallout 1 and 2 aren't games you'll spend thousands of hours on, they're a very well curated experience. I'd expect at most you'd push maybe 100 hours on each, but the ride is so fun and well done. If you enjoy creating new characters, there's just so many ways to navigate every situation and the writing is so, so good.

I find it hard to log on to EQ sometimes. Like I actually can't.. I love the game and probably have logged years in hours in it. Most people could not comprehend.

WHAT is your favorite single play RPG game?
don't be shy, reply!

I'm not gonna go off quality of game going to go off of pure nostalgia and child like joy:

Shining Force 2 - Rented this as a kid, Kraken battle on boat was super epic.

Shining Force 1 - The entire game, played it back as an adult and beat it in college.

Super Mario RPG - Just a game that was so well done, very few parts were not just "fun".

Final Fantasy 1 - Played the OG and Remaster as an adult, feels good.

Breath of Fire 3 - Remember playing this as a young teen on PS1 I think, awesome soundtrack, cool dragon abilities.

Baldurs Gate - I sunk so many hours on this as a teenager, came with our gateway PC in 2000!

Daggerfall, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Fallout 1/2 are all other games responsible for stunting my social development as a child. Shining Force was special to me because it's the one I was playing when I got stuck home sick with bronchitis in 7th grade and decided that school fucking sucks. I'm gonna play video games for the rest of my life.

Can't believe i didn't mention daggerfall and morrowind. Daggerfall by far was amazing for what my tiny 8 year old brain could fathom. All the quests and the haunted king and orc fortresses, very intimidating and definitely can't forget the titties in the temple.

Morrowind might still be the pen-ultimate open world RPG. Skyrim looks shiny and is fun to play, but lacks the depth that chat dialogue vs. voice acted loops can offer. The world and towns are so small in Skyrim you have to constantly use your disbelief suspend to feel even slightly immersed. Oh this is your capital city? population 50.

Enough Bethesda rants, heres a link to daggerfall unity, enjoy! This is without a doubt, the daggerfall we didn't know we needed, and wish we had as kids! https://www.dfworkshop.net/

The scale they set for Daggerfall running on a freaking DOS platform still blows my mind. 100+ political factions. Multiple countries with different cultural aesthetics in clothing and architecture. Holidays. Diseases. 50+ regions. Infinite quests with procedural generation of dungeons. A main quest you're never gonna finish. 20 epic god quests. Get a loan from the bank. Buy a house. Buy a horse. Buy a boat. Rob a store. Go to jail. Be exiled from a town. Be a Vampire. Be a werewolf. <3 this game.


Back when I used to want to make video games, this game always served as my model of what's possible.

Because then rpgs had content, massive ammounts of options and choices to be made.
skyrim sums up what is totaly wrong with modern rpgs, the fact they are not rpgs but hack and slash with shiny graphics some glued storyline and few else things .

i remember a early 90s rpg i cannot say name because i dont know it exactly but i think was published by bullfrogg,

the premise of the rpg was simple robinson crusoe in space, u crashed in a alien planet and u have to survive 3 years before a resque ship comes to you ,
u had a whole planet to explore , u just had 1 life and the game actualy did deleted ur saves if u died .
i still have 2 sketchbooks full of hand made maps , notes about terrain what u could eat or not ,and about 200 aliens species u find in the game .

it took me 1 year to finish up the game and be resqued,
