    Of those 4, I have only played Grand Theft Auto 3, but I suggest you pick it up, it is the best game I've played all year

    I have played all of those.

    Grand Theft Auto 3 has my highest reccomendation, but beware that you cant dummy up the graphics a lot so you had better have a leet machiene.

    Dungeon Siege comes next

    Morrowind and NWN tie. I personally liked morrowind better because I am a Everquest fan. NWN will appeal moreso to AD&D junkies (which I am <b>not</b>.

    Either Morrowind or NWN.

    NOT Dungeon Siege. That's a piece of crap.

    It all depends on what kind of stuff you like... Do you want something RPish and with the possibility of finding a RL DM online for future games, but a bit linear and within your typical D&D world? Go for NWN.

    Do you want something that's -so- free form and non-linear that people sometimes have problems deciding what they want to do, simply because they can do -anything-? Morrowind.

    Never played GTA3, except for about 15 minutes in one store. It was ok. A bit linear though.

    AAAH GTA3 is one of the most non linear games there is, aside from morrowind and such. i reccomend it, if just for the chatterbox radio station. sooo hilarious.

    Actually Dungeon Siege can be a rewarding experience. You basically watch while your party beats up the bad guys. Don't play it if you like challenge though.

    Morrowind will most likely not be playable on your system, it's extremely RAM hungry.

    NWN is only worth it if you plan to invest much time and dedication into the online part, or so I've heard.

    Can't comment on GTA3, except that I like the prequels. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I'd say either NWN or GTA3, although I've not played Morrowind.  Dungeon Siege is fun for a while, but its basically 3d Diablo II.
  • Right_Behind_YouRight_Behind_You Join Date: 2002-04-23 Member: 501Members
    i narrowed it down to GTA 3 or NwN. Anyone have pros and cons of each?
  • Dan_ForeverDan_Forever Join Date: 2002-08-02 Member: 1054Members
    I'd say a new gfx card

    Get GTA3 it is so much fun being chase by the cops for mugging a little or lady then running a couple gang members over for fun. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    I would say morrowind but your computer may not be able to run it because its system requirements are high.  So i would go with NWN if rpgs are your thing.

    Tales from the GTA 3 frontlines:

    I was assigned a mission to take out a chineese crank dealer. He fronts in this little sushi stand. As I approached it, all these triad members came out and started shooting at me and coming at me with baseball bats. The crank dealer hauled ### out of there. I started killing his bodyguards, but i failed the mission when the crank dealer got away. I re-loaded my game and went back to the sushi stand, but instead of killing the bodyguards, i ran after the crank dealer. It was then i remembered I forgot to buy a gun. As I followed him, I saw him come up to he\is car and jump in. As he started the motor, I threw him out of the car. This was my golden opportunity, I jumped into his car and backed over him a couple of times until he gave up the ghost. Mission accomplished.

    i took out all his cars first before i killed that guy.... no change of escape.

    i realy can't wait till a decent flying mod for GTA3 comes
    i love the DoDo plane.
    get GTA3 <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy GTA3 unless you are planning to upgrade in the near future. GTA3 will not like your hardware at all. I get about 15 f/s on average with my 1.2GHz AMD T-Bird, GeForce 2 GTS 32meg and 256 meg of ram, not pretty.

    I'm not really a RPG guy so I can't comment on the rest, apart from Dungeon Siege which basically involves standing there while your little dudes automatically shoot at stuff and automatically level up and automatically...

    You get the picture.

    NwN was kinda a let down for me...

    Get GTA 3. It'll make you happy.

    I really don't understand people who say they get crappy FPS on GTA3.  I've got a 3-year-old P3 800, a GeForce2 32MB, and 384MB of PCI RAM, and it runs *fine*.  Yeah, it's only 800x600x16, but it runs *fine*.  Didn't have any trouble with it, either.

    lol

    1]GTA3. all the way. everyone before me has said enuff.    

    2]next in line will be ES:Morrowind. another excellent piece of work.

    ... o_0 beware though, although stated before, these two games are DEFINETELY RAM and GFX-intensive. Warned!!!


    PS: does anyone here know how to subscribe( get email notification to any thread you have participated in, when a reply comes.) to a thread?  i cant find that option in my
    -PROFILE- pages....   dunno... is it just me or is it turned off in this forums... cause of the massive damage it'd cause the server? (too many fans)

    lol, I suggest GTA III, because that game is just to funny. Here is something BAD to do everytime you turn on the game. Hijack a car, run over a innocent bystander, (female), shoot the ambulance that comes to help her, kill the driver of the firetruck that comes to help the ambulance, and go and park on the bystander, and put some tread marks on her. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->  Quite amusing. And, NEVER rent State of Emergencey. That is a crappy game. Very bad graphics on the details of the characters. Terrible.
