Anyone know of a rpg thats in a living world ala lure of the tempress style (they do their own thing and go off doing it) as i would love a rpg thats like that.

A rpg that has career options like work for people.

A rpg that wasnt really fantasy orientated i.e magic or monsters.

Perhaps a urban rpg i duno or rpg that had a nice world with loads of people to interact with.

Prefer no games where you have to have healing or mana potions or loads of crap things u typically find in fantasy rpgs.

Ability maybe to buy property like in gta games might be nice where you can put all ur things and spice it up to make the coolest bachelor pad ever. :p


Not.

Oblivion
Nwn games
FO3
DEFO NO SMEGGING MMORPG (where u pay)
No deus ex games i couldnt get one with it.

I do like mass effect, not completed it yet tho but defo a good game tho i dont like the upgrading equip cos the inventory sucks its hard to know what to equip per member.

Kotor games i really liked. I loved the interactions the missions etc. The inventory system and equip system. Had good sorting options for it too.

Oh and would prefer voiced as my eyes couldnt stand reading text for speech in gams anymore.
 
Sorry you said not Oblivion, but it's absolutely the best RPG out there, and is the only one i could think of that fits the bill. With all the high quality mods out there the content is endless.

And in Oblivion you could completely ignore any aspect of the game you wish and do your own thing.

Sounds just like Morrowind, the predecessor to Oblivion. A much better game in my opinion and more of a "living in another world" experience than Oblivion. One of the first quests in Morrowind pretty much instructs you to go out and make a life for yourself.

Unfortunately is Morrowind, still if you could stick with the fantasy stuff you may enjoy it.
 
Yeah, but it has 'loads of crap things u typically find in fantasy rpgs' :p

Can't see the op getting many replies to be honest, given how many things he doesn't want in the game.
 
Stating the obvious one would be the Sims.

Has character progression, no potions, urban enviroment with people to interact with, can have a career to work for people, can buy and customise property, other people in the world do their own thing and it's not fantasy at all.

Personally i think this game fits every tick box perfectly.
 
I think your requirements are a little too narrow. I mean you're not going to find a RPG that has those things you mention WITHOUT being fantasy orientated in some way.

I've recently started playing Gothic 3 (with the player mod patch) and its heaps better than what it was when it first came out (well it actually works!) Its a huge open world and you can pretty much goto any city and do quests for people and what not. However its heavy fantasy with orcs and magic etc.

The Sims isn't what i'd call a "living world" as every area is pretty much instanced. From my experiences with the game its not had the depth of a standard RPG and for me, it was little more than a novely that got boring repetitive fast.

From what I remember this game is supposed to have an element of world shaping to it, choices you make having an effect on the player as the game progresses. Is this implemented?

Why would you want a 'living' world, but be against MMO's?..

Honestly, I really have never understood why people find £10/mo so hard to part with. It is nothing.
 
£10 a month is hardly nothing is it, £0 a month is nothing :p it's an outlay of £120 a year to play one game, it would take a damn special game for me to pay that.
 
Tbh some of skeets points are exactly the ones why I hate most of the rpg's out there...
And why I liked fallout3...


I hate rubbish like magic, mana, potions, etc... Give me guns instead :D.
 
Go out and get a job, there that fulfills all your demands.

Sorry i may have sounded a bit rude there but it does sound like you want real life in a pc game... which doesnt sound too bad i guess but theres not really a lot like that unless you merge sims with gta 4?
