RPG PC GAMES - Great Graphics, Classes and Skills

[cmoncarlo]

Hi PC Gamers,

Can you suggest a PC RPG Game like Skyrim, Kingdom of Amalur, Hellgate London that has Great Graphics, Classes and Skill Animations?

I prefer offline RPG's.

Thanks!!

Have you tried the witcher 1 and 2? They are amazing!!!!!

I'm kinda biased towards JRPGs, so I'd advice FF series, The Last Remnant, YS Series (although graphics are a bit dated), Record of Agarest War / Zero (same note as YS), Recettear, etc....
Retrogaming can also offer some true gems, like Chrono Trigger for example (only God knows how many playthroughs I have there...)

As Y_u_be_like_dat mentioned, the The Witcher series are pretty nice, although I've heard the former episode is a bit more raw and buggy compared to its subsequent counterpart; TW3 is also getting released soon.
Dark Souls and Mass Effect series would make a nice addition too, although they're only partially RPGs. I've also heard awesome things from Dragon Age : Origins and Divinity : Original Sin, or you can wait for Dragon Age : Inquisition, although it's slightly more on the action side.
If you tried Skyrim and liked it, however, you definetly must try Oblivion and Morrowing, despite their dated graphics...there's just so much they left behind for simply more polished graphics...

In any case, most good western RPGs date back to the top-down isometric DOS days unfortunately, so that "Great Graphics, Classes and Skill Animations" kinda makes it hard to advice games 😛

Neverwinter Nights 2 has pretty okay graphics. (At one time they looked really good)

Some of the better RPGs are the old ones though, a personal favorite of mine is Arcanum.

( Legend of Dragoon )* is an old school PS1 game that was so big it came with 4 disks and was still a great game.
( NOX )* another great gem from the past, and that intro vid...who could forget. Also had fun when it came out with the arena battle MP aspect too. What warrior doesn't like to smash a wizard with a huge hammer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkv0oVLX13g
( Torchlight )* was ok but, not really in my list of top rpg's.
( Divinity )* solid game.
( Dark Souls series )* Will have you so mad you want to smash your rig but, when you win you will truly feel accomplished. I kid you not this IS the hardest rpg game I have ever played, it will show you no mercy and you can't simply just over level every enemy like most rpgs. Here is an accurate review quote from steam: " It's like being married to a woman who is attractive and charming and funny and intelligent and you are soulmates and everything is perfect, right? She is the perfect woman. You could not ask for a more better woman in the world. You love her, and she loves you. Only, she has one flaw. Every 5 minutes, she punches you in the face... For no reason, she just punches you in the face every 5 minutes. Even at night, you wake up, she punches you in the face. You recover, get 3 minutes 38 seconds of sleep, then she punches you in the face again. And you love her. ".

Other ones not mentioned are Zelda series, Final Fantasy series, Fallout and Borderlands though they are more a shooter than a full rpg.

I'm really into games like Hellgate London and Reckoning: Kindom of Amalur where you can choose a class, great skills and "Ok" Graphics.
I'm looking at getting Mass Effect Franchise, Divinity 2 or Sacred 3. and will be getting Dragon Age: Inquisition as soon as it comes out.
Anything you can suggest that looks like that?
