Taunttheostrich: I've heard some pretty terrible things about Deathtrap Dungeon honestly. :P I thought that was the perfect game for me when they first put it on GOG till I watched some video reviews and gameplay of it. I mean maybe at the sale price it'd be worth a bit of tinkering but it does seem pretty rough, nowhere near as bad as the PS1 version I've heard.
Die by the Sword looks interesting . I'm worried if the graphics would cause eye strain judging by the screen caps though.
AFnord: I quite liked Deathtrap Dungeon. It had some rough edges, and the camera was not always willing to cooperate, but the combat was fun and challenging and the environments were interesting. There was also a good amount of different enemies to fight.
I've not played Die by the Sword in ages, but I never had any issues with the graphics. Everything was clearly identifiable. The game was (as I remember it at least) super challenging though.
Anyway, the games that GOG have that I think you'll enjoy are the two above mentioned games (Die by the Sword & Deathtrap Dungeon) and also Enclave
Slightly weaker recommendations (as they don't quite fit in with your criteria, but still are good games that have a good amount in common with what you are looking for) goes out to the Legacy of Kain games, Gothic & Arx Fatalis.
the camera did seem like what a lot of people were having issues with. honestly though if it has fun combat I can get over that. I'm sure I've played games with worse camera controls.
Die by the Sword does look really interesting though, the combat looks different than anything I've ever played before. but after watching some game play on youtube the visuals dont look as muddied as they do in the screencaps. unfortunate that there wasn't any texture mods.
Gothic and Arx have been getting a lot of recommendation though so I cannot ignore those two they seem to fit in with what I'm after just fine, as far as the Legacy of Kain series, I played Soul Reaver back when I was a kid on the PS1 and fell in love with it, and a bit of Blood Omen 2, I've yet to play the entire series but I do own them on GOG so I will be getting around to that. I can only hope that GOG can get Blood Omen 1 someday.
Taunttheostrich: Wow coming from someone who is that deep in to roleplay, that really adds a lot of rep to the Gothic series for me, and they seem to be pretty lengthy games so I should be covered for quite some time! I watched some videos on the combat too and it doesn't actually look that bad.
I've played an beat Fable so many times and I'm still not tired of it. always been pissed that Fable 2 never came to the PC.
As for The Witcher games I do actually own both of those! I haven't gotten to touch The Witcher 2 yet sadly, shared issue between data cap, and hard drive space. it is on my summer list though especially with the FCR mod out.
I too will vote for it :) it does sound exactly like what I'm after, though I'll hold off on playing the PS2 game until I get the first one out of the way, it does seem to be on Amazon pretty cheap but I'm curious as to what extra goodies GOG would be able to throw in.
2 votes for Rune, it's been added to my list of games to buy :)
Fever_Discordia: Yeah, that Driver 2 and Saints Row 1 are all sadly missing from PC
Never understood why we didn't get versions of the Red Dead games either, still I conform myslef in the thought that my backlog is already ridiclous without them...
it does bum me out that the original Saints Row wasnt on PC, bums me out even more that Saints Row 2's port wasn't exactly the best, still managed to get through the game though, and Driver 2 was just a riot my friends and I spent many hours playing that.
I too am upset by the lack of Red Dead on the PC, I dont know what Rockstar was thinking with that one, I think it would've sold great on the PC. Honestly though I still think my favorite Rockstar universe is Bully, though some of it could just be sentimental reasons, it was still a hell of a story. I always wanted a sequel.
