I can't get enough out of all these games. Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale 1 and 2, Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, Planescape-all great games. I don't know what it is but the roleplaying system and the stories are just so awesome. You really can't get much better.

A few games I haven't played being Temple of Elemental Evil, Pool of Radiance 2, Kotor 2 (similar system).
All the games really give per level is some health, mana and getting better at what you do. Does anyone know of any other games out there that use similar stat systems to D&D?

Geneforge 1-5, Avernum 1-6, Avadon 1-2, Book of Eschalon 1-2, Shadowrun Returns (not as well, but it will get there eventually), Might and Magic 1-6 (you will probably especially like 4-5, and 6), Inquisitor (different kind of system, still fun), Arcanum. Probably a ton more that I am forgetting. The ones I listed use different stat systems than DnD but all of the stat systems are very important to the gameplay and extremely diverse. And all of them have very, very solid storylines (weakest is probably Shadowrun). The Spiderweb games especially Geneforge and Avernum have fantastic factions, multiple endings, solid writing, etc. If you haven't played them, give em a shot.

Isn't almost any RPG using a similar stat system? ;)

There are also the older D&D games, of course, which sadly aren't availbale on GOG (or anywhere else for that matter). See GoldBox series, Eye of the Beholder series, Ravenloft series, Dark Sun series, Dungeon Hack.

Dungeon Craft is a freeware derivative of SSI's GoldBox editor Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures, which allows players to create and play custom modules (similar to NWN). Sadly there aren't many classical D&D modules available for it yet, but you could make your own.

I guess fallout 1 and 2 and Tales of Maj'eyal are in there too. I haven't played Tales but I heard its somewhat based on that.

Doh, I waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnttttttttt!!!

I checked GOG. No.

I checked Steam. Uh uh.

I checked Amazon. Nope.

It's a conspiracy I tell ya, a conspiracy.

Well, no. Witcher 1-2, Overlord 1-2, Etherlords 1-2, Assassin's Creed 1-4, are all RPGs (alright, Etherlords may be debatable :P) but none of them let you really have stats, and certainly not stats that influence things like conversations (Bluff, Intimidate, Barter, etc.). You just kind of pick up equipment and play through the games unlocking skills along very specific paths. Don't get me wrong, they are great games (except AC 2.5 and 3, grrr) and many of them have different endings, have serious choice and consequence, etc., thus making themselves RPGs. But there is a huge difference in feel between something like Overlord or AC 2 and something like NWN. I didn't put the Fallouts, because of all the recent ruckus. They definitely qualify though.

I was half joking, but then again, "almost any" is not the same as "each and every", and of course there would be exceptions. And personally I wouldn't have classified any of the above beside the Witcher series as RPGs. Anyway, if I was serious, I guess I should have said "almost any classical RPG". Yep, it seems the dev is conspiring against all 3rd party distributors. ;)

I tried this game and I didn't like much. I give every game a shot so long as I can create one character and power through the game. I don't like parties much and I have a much better chance soloing any game than I do with playing a party of 4. I am alright with the baldurs gate series and a party, but I prefer the solo experience.

Fair enough. And by the way "classical RPG" is probably the best definition I've heard yet, certainly beats all the terms the industry flings around. I swear if it's not specifically a platformer or an FPS they call it an RPG. :P

I think most hardcore WRPG fans only name those games RPGs that have customizable stats which determine your success in the game (as opposed to actual player skill like quick reflexes and such). So for them, the stats would be the most important criterion and any game without customizable stats wouldn't be an RPG. I haven't decided yet whether I agree, but in the end I don't really care that much as long as the game is fun. ;)

You might want to look into the pen and paper game if you like it that much. Certainly it's slower-paced than a CRPG but you've got a far broader level of freedom and responsiveness.
