In lieu of the summer sale, let's mention various fun RPG gems that aren't mentioned that much often, despite being great. Most people know about Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, Neverwinter Nights, Might and Magic 1-8 (+9), System Shock, The Witcher, but what about all the other great RPGs? Here's a list to talk about them and recommend various fun RPGs that usually get lost unless some 90s/80s or niche threads come up!
I'll start off with:
Summoner
Revenant
Albion
Magic and Mayhem
Darklands
Al-Quadim
Dragon Wars - one of the older games but still fun if you can get past the older interface and style of playing. You have various ways of going about in the game and a good magic system. Someone else on GOG had a better review, I haven't actually played it but they made me want to play it
Lands of Lore 1-3 - No need to play them all in order, they work as standalones. A really fun first person dungeon crawling adventure with a good plot, the third game brings in 3D
Quest for Glory - one of the best adventure games out there and a RPG to boot! You use your class skills to solve problems you're faced with
Nox (free on Origin at the moment) - A Diablo-like game with three classes and a really fun, balanced multiplayer
Strife - an RPG FPS with quests
Rage of Mages II - a famous Russian
The Summoning - an isometric RPG/hacknslash that includes an interesting magical system where you make symbols with your hands
I'll add some short description later on!
