About a year ago I discovered Baldurs Gate, CRPG's, and D&D and now I see myself as "behind" in the gaming department and I have a long list of the games I want to play. Here are the games I want to play in no particular order and I would like suggestions on a order.
*Icewind Dale with expansions
*Icewind Dale 2
*Planescape:Torment maybe Soulbringer since it comes with it.
*Fallout 1+2
*Dungeon Seige
*Morrowind
I have Morrowind and Icewind Dale. PS:T and Fallouts are both no problem moneywise so that leaves Dungeon Seige and Icewind Dale 2 (which isn't even out yet) as the pricy ones. Thanks for any help.

I haven't tried IWD or torment... but I'd recommend that you play Morrowind last, it gets pretty addictive, so that way you won't have to worry about having any other games lying around unplayed while you get lost in Tamriel..

Get Ps:T and play it 24/7 until you have finished it. IMHO still the best CRPG.

I'm unsure what went wrong in Frog's list, but I don't see Anachronox anywhere?!?!?

Add it and add it now! *glower*

Is Anachronox good then? I saw some footage, but was unsure.

It was too good to me. Now someone else who played it should also post about it. For example: Wildfire.

Just one thing - you get the story, you get the puzzles, you get the skills, you get the real quests. It's not just some hack&slash.

The funny thing about Frog's list is that I really did play Diablos before I discovered Baldur's Gate.

Before Diablo I played console RPGs. I'll add them to the list just cause.

Anachronox is awesome!

@Extremist: Add fun and jokes to it and it is complete

Tom Hall has done such a great job on that one. Though based on the Quake2 Engine the locations and graphics are good and it is just a hell of fun playing it and seeing the characters interact.

It is a mixture of final fantasy based combats with neat puzzles and jokes.

Go for it and you can't stop.

PS: PAL-18 - hero of robots.

Yes! Anachronox should go at the head of your list! :D It's an amazing game :) Lots of entertaining humour, and it's probably really cheap now too. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

How are the graphics and how do they compare to NWN?

Well, NWN and Anachronox are very different games, nothing like each other at all.

Here (http://www.planetanachronox.com/anox1/files/screen/) are a few screenshots though, and you can see for yourself what the graphics are like.

Actually, seeing NWN screenshots and remembering what was graphics like in Anachronox was just another reason for me not to buy NWN. Sorry if this insults all those who feel that NWN graphics is a touch of class.
Oh, btw, you don't need some supernew graphic card for Anachronox. It runs perfectly on my TNT2. With all awsome special effects. Sad, but true, right? ;)

[EDIT]
Actually I lost 5 kilos while I was playing Anachronox. Yea, I know you don't believe me. But that happened!

By the looks of Anachronox it seems I would die from starvation because I would never leave my computer chair. :D
