never winter nights was cool so was kotor and if u can find it check out vampire the masquerade bloodlines
http://www.vampirebloodlines.com/
its an amazing looking game built with the source engine (the engine that powers half-life 2!) and its story and atmosphere were like nothing ive ever seen or am likely to see ever again. should run ya 20$
p.s. ake sure u get the official 1.3 patch and the unofficial 1.4 patch. if u need detail contact me at
randystalcup@gmail.com. dont be asking about mmo's because i hate them they dumb down the rpg experience
