S.T.A.L.K.E.R series is good fun. Hard, but fairly fun.

X-Com And Daggerfall.

I always keep those two.

Powder toy.

Cave story and OTTD.

You're set for life.

Powder Toy was neat for a while, but I never was very interested with it. Downloading Daggerfall right now, I can admit that I think I will like this.

Cave Story was pure awesome, but I already finished it, like any self-respecting PC gamer should. OTTD was a huge file, last time I checked. Still browsing through some of the other suggestions, thanks a lot guys, I'm still open to some more suggestions, of course

I tought thas was a thread about that Rainy Day game where you built a tree out of hands that would hold umbrella's in order to help paper boats across the street.Then i wanted to find out if there were sequels or something, then i opened the thread itself and was disappointed

I spent the last 4 days playing Liberal Crime Squad. Who knew that pressing the W key constantly would be so addictive...

I got hooked on LCS too, finally had a winning game, and was set to win again in a kidnapping centered run. Then I self destructed so that I could start a liberal viking squad.

I am not a fan of rougelikes if they have no tileset available,

Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup. The "Tiles" version not only has a superb tileset, but in it there's also mouse control and the ability to customize your character's look completely (or have it based on armor, too!). It also has a different "feel" than most Roguelikes -- rather than just mowing through low level monsters to level up, you have to plan out a strategy for each monster/encounter, sometimes ahead of time. This is why the most prominent early game miniboss, Sigmund, will tend to completely wipe the floor with you. Really, half the fun is choosing from one of the ten hojillion character combinations and then attempting to survive.

I've been replaying the community maintained version of it this weekend. I wish someone would make a modern remake of it while keeping the (imm)mature theme.

I can fill you in on the chargen exploits for daggerfall pretty good.

i.e. a good one is to pick "high Elf" as your race (somerset isle on the map). They are immune to paralysis. You can add a negative called "Critical Weakness to Paralysis" and gain lots of char points back (well, not char points really, it's a unique system) for other cool powers. But the so-called "critical weakness" is trumped by the immunity power so never affects play.

Seriously I could ruin it for you by giving you all the "tips". You'll have more fun just exploring on your own, and working out the rules as you go. The "tips" would basically be like getting given a free key to HFS and 1000 full admantine battlesuits in DF.

One tip though, not really a spoiler, is that you get a "reputation" in the country you are in. Go somewhere backwards, out of the way (mostly not part of the "main plot") to do all your looting / town guard killing. You can gain a lot of excellent armour and weaponry this way (and it's fun to stand over a pile of 1000 dead guards, while tricking the game into spawning more), then go home, and nobody cares (though "kill on sight" will be the normal reaction in the country you looted)

OTTD was a huge file, last time I checked.

Five megabytes is huge?

Is Daggerfall worth getting I have played Morrowind, and Oblivion, but I am not sure from what I have seen if that woudl be fun ?

[Reelyanoob]

It's bigger in scope than them. 4000 cities/towns. Classic D&D style sand-box. Nice graphics (though doom-style). There's a main plot of imperial rivalry between vassal states, a dead king haunting the capital city (with some NASTY spectres out to get you at night), court intrigue, murder and betrayal.

MEGA DUNGEONS which go for MILES (literally, so large and 3D you get lost)

You can learn any skill, rob houses, castles, BUY a house, a horse, a wagon, a ship (though this is just like a quantum stockpile, you can actually go "below decks" and arrange your stuff - the ship itself is big enough you'll only need a corner of 1 room on one deck.

If you liked Morrowind more than Oblivion, than Daggerfall may be something for you.
If you liked Oblivion more.. Wait here while i get a torch and a pitchfork.

I loved Morrowind. Oblivion I don't know it was just missing something.

Go play Daggerfall then.

Patch it with everything you can find though, otherwise a world of pain awaits you. You will bugg out more often than not anyway.. But if your balls are made of steel, and you save often, you may endure.. And discover one of the best games ever made!
