Any good Isometric RPG's?

[firecage]

So guys, got any good Isometric RPG's for me to play? Current ones already played:

Avernum Series
Geneforge Series
Baldur's Gate Series
Icewind Dale Series
Neverwinter Nights Series
Planescape: Torment
Avadon Series
Nethergate
Siege of Avalon
Arcanum
Divine Divinity
Pillars of Eternity

(And no, the 2 original Fallouts aren't good RPG's)

[Zilenan91]

Pillars of Eternity is pretty good from what I've heard.

[firecage]

Oh, already played it, heh.

[Malkevin]

I know of a really good isometric RPG where you build a party of procedurally generated characters where you send your characters in raiding parties to do battle against an invading army.
Its really hard and features permadeath.

Spoiler:

X-Com

[firecage]

Ehhh, not sure if it's something I would call an isometric rpg.

[Saegrimr]

(And no, the 2 original Fallouts aren't good RPG's)

Wow what the fuck.

[Takeguru]

I liked Champions of Norrath.

PS2 series.

Maybe you can emulate it or something, haven't looked into it myself

[Malkevin]

Ehhh, not sure if it's something I would call an isometric rpg.

Okay okay, you want something real time.

I know another hardcore RPG that features permadeath and you go on quests to please some old man (thats a requirement of RPGs right?), and your characters gain XP to increase levels which grant skill points you can invest in skills of your choice.

Spoiler:

Fallout: Tactics

[Zilenan91]

Diablo II Lords of Destruction. Probably one of the best games I've ever played, but it's old as fuck and might not run on Windows 10/7 without some tweaking.

[DemonFiren]

(And no, the 2 original Fallouts aren't good RPG's)

Wow what the fuck.

I know, right?
And this guy played Arcanum and apparently found it good enough to go on the list.

[iamgoofball]

I reccomend Final Fantasy Tactics, the original PS1 version. It's some good shit.

[Zilenan91]

I heard that Bad Ratz was a pinnacle of modern game design, a game that every single person should play.

[ColonicAcid]

(And no, the 2 original Fallouts aren't good RPG's)

Wow what the fuck.

Who knows. I was going to suggest something but obviously after you said that bombshell I have a sour taste in my mouth.

[firecage]

What? It's not a lie. Their quests sucks, their plot sucks, their characters sucks.

They are as flat as a 10 year olds breasts.

[Timbrewolf]

(And no, the 2 original Fallouts aren't good RPG's)

You get no help from anyone with an attitude like that.

[ColonicAcid]

Is this real life.

is it just a fantasy???

[EndgamerAzari]

Ignoring the brewing shitstorm...

Try Underrail.

[ColonicAcid]

thats literally fallout though
and as we know that game is TERRIBLE :^)))))))))))))))

i mean fuck obviously fallout 3 and fallout 4 were the great games of the series

OBVIOUSLY

[EndgamerAzari]

[muffled "reeeeee" in the distance]

[THE MIGHTY GALVATRON]

I tried playing Underrail, made a psy-guy and he gets his ass beat by just about everything. I refuse to roll a new character so right now I'm doing the equivalent of punching my way through a brick wall.

[EndgamerAzari]

Funny, I went the opposite way. Started literally punching things and then picked up some psionics later.

Edit: Oh yeah, I found Wasteland 2 to be pretty fun (despite every decision you make being the wrong one). Should go back and try it again now that the director's cut is out.

It's tough. You need to learn all the psychic abilities you can in the beginning from the three dudes.

The kinetic one that costs a fuckton but stuns everyone is good, use that as your opener on a mob and then hit it with cryokinesis repeatedly until dead if its a random animal, or the mind blast thing if its a human.

The big problem for psy-ops are those fucking robots you start fighting later holy shit. All your powers do such little mechanical damage those things just fucking roll right over you. Consider specializing in sneaking around with the points you can't throw into psy stuff to avoid shit like that.

[TheWiznard]

I reccomend Final Fantasy Tactics, the original PS1 version. It's some good shit.

this is my favorite game of all time, I still even have my ps1 with the case/disc for this game and play it once in a blue moon.

I even have my orginal memory card with my first game save on it (probably gone now idk) where I saved in a battle I couldn't back out of and I was stuck in an endless loop of getting my ass handed to me by a

Spoiler:

knight who turns into a werewolf after you "defeat" him in the first part of the fight

[Drynwyn]

I recommend Divinity: Original Sin and the Enhanced Edition, which was (is?) free with the original game. Fantastic isometric game. Detailed character building and multiple approaches to problems is a win in my book. Plus it's got modern graphics, which is a nice plus.

[Saegrimr]

Shit if you're gonna recommend FFT, at least throw Tactics Ogre out there. Takes everything FFT's done and expands the fuck out of it, plus theres like 20 different remakes of it all over the place. PSP version was pretty fuckin great too.

I need to finish that. I keep getting distracted or trying to hoard shit and end up losing interest too quickly.
Tried to do multiplayer with a friend but it just seemed like a bad idea all around.

I did a multiplayer run with my brother and it worked out pretty well.

I've been trying a pretty much full brute character, holy shit it's hard.

10/10

[Incomptinence]

A bit dated but I bought a pack of geneforge games on gog and even from the first one they are very solid.

Summoning orientated with a very simic style fantasy background.

Speaking from hearsay and not personal experience, I've been told that Diablo 3 is fairly good. I know its reception was extremely poor from avid gamers when it launched, being one of the first connection-required games, but apparently it's been improved a lot since. Might be worth a second look.

I've played it extensively myself, and while it's pretty darn good, it's an ARPG, and based on the list of things he's played, the OP is looking for pure RPG's.

Can confirm personally. They fixed the game-ruining loot grind, removed the auction house entirely, and added a bunch of free DLC features.

Diablo 3 at launch was a huge fucking disappointment. C- game

Diablo 3 now is a fun ARPG stomp with a decent bit of depth. B+ game

Spoiler:

Torchlight 2, Last Exile, and even Phantasy Star Online are all better, though.

[IcePacks]

it's scarcely isometric by divinity: original sin: enhanced edition is fun as fuck

go play it right now

[Sometinyprick]

age of decadance is good but it has similarties to fallout 1 and 2 (turn AP based) but tbvh that's a good thing
the story is relatively short but you take completely different paths ranging from non-violent to murder everything, has some neat aspects like being able to scare the shit out of people if you have a high body count. Only bad thing about it is that you have to min-max like crazy to get anywhere with the combat and if you skip out on quests you get fucked later on

[Jacough]

I'm playing through the enhanced edition right now. I'd honestly just recommend skipping the standard edition and just going straight for the enhanced edition. There's a lot of parts in the standard edition that are just really obtuse. The enhanced edition had that problem occasionally (mostly items related to quests appearing under the wrong inventory category) but it's still pretty great.

Also nail grenades are fucking awesome.
