After years of hearing about it and also thoroughly enjoying Skyrim, I decided to play some Morrowind. Had some difficulty deciding on a character but been playing a light armored blunt user. Unfortunately reading all the efficient leveling stuff (you know, making sure you get enough skill so you can raise a stat by 5) has got me kind of bummed. I really just want to get into the story and enjoy my first playthrough and explore etc etc ..but all I can think about it raising this or that skill etc etc so I can get the max 5 to a stat on level up. Killing my desire to play the game.

Do I really have to worry about this too much for my first playthrough? Can I just play and have fun and will I mostly be fine if a certain skill say only gets 2 pts etc?

I have a very weird nostalgia for old PC games, especially RPGs but I've yet to sit down and actually really play one and finish one. I've built up a small little collection via GOG (and some on Steam) and am just feeling that itch to really sit down and immerse myself in one of these games despite my modern sensibilities maybe finding it hard to "go back" so I need people to tell me what to play. Here's what I have but certainly willing to buy something else if someone convinces me on it:

Anachronox

Anvil of Dawn

Arcanum

Arx Fatalis

Baldurs Gate II

Betrayal at Krondor

Deus Ex

Divine Divinity

Ishar Compilation

Lands of Lore 1,2,3

Lionheart Legacy of the Crusader

Might and Magic 6,7,8, X

Nox

Outcast (does this count?)

Planescape Torment

Realms of Arkania 3

Return to Krondor

Silver

Stonekeep

System Shock 2

Thunderscape

Ultima Underworld 1,2

Ultima 8

Wizardry 8

Sort of in a dungeony crawlery mood and was thinking of Wizardry 8 or Might and Magic. Maybe a modern version like X or Legend of Grimrock? Any tips would be helpful.

Batman arkham trilogy for ps4/bone would be nice.

They managed to release 2 Ass Creed games this year, maybe they'll manage 3 next year.

@finaldasa: Yeah the PS3 version definitely gets wonky and framey in spots. For the most part it has seemed ok but there are spots where it just randomly seems to dip into low frame rates etc. Haven't had anything crash or break really other than one spot where Batman kept saying "I need to get the access code before I can get through the door" or something like that every few minutes even after I passed the door, but a quit and restart fixed that. After playing PS4 and stuff it has definitely been a little jarring to play a last gen system/game. I'm kind of secretly hoping they do a "trilogy" of sorts for the new consoles.

Started doing this lately. Get to see if it's any good by letting others play it, wait for patches to come out and get it a bit cheaper. The patching thing is what concerns me the most because I feel like it's just better to wait to get the "better" experience.

Picked this up for the PS3 (I could have just gotten it on PC but dat trophies) and a few hours in and really enjoying this. I played Arkham Asylum and didn't really like it and haven't played Arkham City yet so perhaps I'm getting a tainted experience. The music has been movie quality and absolutely incredible, story is pretty good so far. The set during Christmas setting is pretty darn awesome too. Definitely another collector fest that I don't care about radio towers, random things in a sector to pick up/destroy etc etc. Seemed like this went sort of unnoticed by most people. If anyone is lurking it's a great game and super cheap at this point.

Wolfenstein: The New Order. Not sure how much it was talked about on the Bombcast but just finished the game and man was it good. Wasn't expecting much but legitimately shocked by how well made and realized it was. Some great sinister characters, alt history etc.

I'm ok with the way it ended. Kind of hope he just died there because some perfect ending would have been too hokey for the sinister setting they set up. Great freaking game man.

Just finished the game and had a similar thought. Wasn't sure what to expect but what a damn good game. Played this on the PS4 and definitely don't regret paying full price for it. Even better for those coming in at a discount. Some really great and sinister characters in this game that I wish would have had more "screen time" :) Loved the heck out of the alt history/future etc. Being billed as an old school FPS but it's not THAT old school ;) Any lurkers who are looking for a good FPS to play this is definitely a must buy especially since at this point you will find it at a discount. Truly a great surprise.
