i really enjoy playing these sort of games and would like to find a few more i have all eschalon and spiderweb games. does anyone have any suggestions?

thank you so much. i appreciate the info and i will try them.

A few more:

Upcoming: Wasteland 2 (here's a Steam link: http://store.steampowered.com/app/240760/ )

My favorite turn-based RPG combat gameplay is Temple of Elemental Evil. It's light on story but very, very thick on tactics. http://www.gog.com/game/the_temple_of_elemental_evil


I own them, but never played them. But I hear Fallout is turn-based with a lovely story. I need to play those games!

And a few more that aren't turn-based, but still have the feel of Eschalon and/or Spiderweb's:

The Elder Scrolls 1 and 2 (free on Bethesda's website). They are real-time, but they're huge (hundreds of times bigger than Skyrim, but less populated with cool things to do), open-world and tough as nails. For some reason, these have a "feel" like the Eschalon games for being big and difficult. But they're very different, too. But they're free, so you can decide for yourself on them free of cost but time.


And lastly, if you like story-heavy games and pause-and-play real-time but taking turns combat in the D&D world, then I'd recommend Neverwinter Nights. There's a million great modules with very excellent stories and characters.

They're quite old now but the original Realms of Arkania series. There's also the Drakensang series which are quite stat heavy. Haven't fully tried the recent Realms Of Arkania remake as its taken a while to be a finished game but again seems fairly old school.

I found the aforementioned Drakensang games to be very fun. Another you might want to consider is Inquisitor (available here on GOG). Lionheart:Legacy of the Crusader is pretty solid for the first half but the latter half is basically hack and slash. I found it a lot of fun anyway though. Divine Divinity is a solid recommendation as well.

Have you played Fallout 1 and 2? There's also Arcanum, if you haven't played that.

A bit of an older thread, but I thought people might be interested in RuneSword 2. It scratches a similar itch to Eschalon and Spiderweb RPGs, is free, and includes a campaign editor. It's also open source now (formerly commercial) and written in Visual Basic 6. I had a lot of fun with it years ago, and the game still works rather well in Windows 7 x64 - though I haven't been able to get the editor working for some reason.

Edit - last OS update (v2.5.0) works fine in Windows 8.1 x64 and the Tome Creator (world editor) works fine as well. =)

What a great find - thank you :) +1 I love the Spiderweb games and Eschalon so I'm looking forward to giving this a whirl - downloading now!

Looks like the original Runesword is still available at the site as well. I don't think I ever tried that one.

Edit: Unfortunately, the original Runesword is not compatible with x64 Windows. =(
