dougthomas71: I did like DD - a lot . . :-) . . And Fallout 1 for that matter too . . Thus, perhaps, the quandary
Decisions, decisions. Fallout 1 and DD are two different styles of RPGs, you have played both so . . . you know which you prefer.
DD is not an option for me since I really want to wait on the patch before playing again, finished Fallout, so it is SG for me, some of my reasons are:
As Urthgris pointed out, SG is a lot like Diablo but . . . I liked it better for single player. . . larger world, non-linear, save any time, compass/current quest selection, five weapon slots, dual wielding, five combo skills, the A key option, multiplayer, "cool" characters, minimal bugs, etc. etc.. I always felt that Diablo abandoned the single player mode in favor of the online play. SG is what Diablo single player could have been (IMHO). SG is designed in sections, each one offering more difficult enemies. The respawn was tedious until I learned to use it to my advantage . . . which was for leveling up before moving to the next section. After a certain level, the enemies in a section seem to ignore you, when that happens you are more than ready to move to the next section. Took me 91 hrs to complete both campaigns and I discovered slightly more than 40% of the world. I didn't see 60% of the game?? I gotta go back, this time as a Battlemage. . . =^ ) The dragons were the only unbalanced aspect for me, really hard to kill early on.
Since you have already played Fallout 1 then it would be a natural progression to play Fallout 2. I suggest you visit Killap's site
http://www.killap.net/fallout2/web/About.html and consider his patch and his restoration project, click Download at the top of the page. I have not used either with the GOG version but they should work, maybe visit the Fallout forums for a confirmation. Start another DD, try Fallout 2, try SG . . . decisions, decisions . . . =^ )
Edit: Well, for whatever reason, I failed to mention Beyond Divinity. I have it but have not played it. Wanted to wait for a full play thru of DD with the patch. That would be the obvious next game if you liked DD, the reviews have been disappointing though.
