online quest roleplay games

Hi scotthaigh1! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

There are several options, as Diablo series, also Elder scroll's Series, Fable, among others that you can get

I'd wait on diablo 2 resurrected as it's still going thru it's teething issues phase due to countless iofserver issues

It's playable single player which let's them get away with no refunds but in some instances you can't play online for a weekend or two due to the overloaded queue system blizzard put in place

And sometimes you can lose hours of game play due to a crash

It is a classic game but as mentioned they having issues they can't fix all at once due to the old integration of the bnet system and og diablo 2 of players

Final fantasy 14 is nice

Diablo 3 is good

Fighting Fantasy

And to a degree I can agree with MMO's though it takes a group to approach it with roleplay in mind to get that sort of experience out of it (Tabula Rasa was pretty good for roleplaying actually).

I think the game that gets the closest to a true RPG experience is EVE Online, in my opinion.

Oh yeah Fighting Fantasy, I had like 30 of those, I also had the Lone Wolf series, and Grail Quest,

Ok so why isn't Dark Souls an RPG then? give me an example of what you consider an RPG and then compare it to Dark Souls to see what one game has over the other.

Thanks for the tip.

Because it doesn't have any roleplaying in it. It is Dodge, Parry, Block, Kill, Run, Jump, Shop, Join Covenant , Kill Boss, Repeat, finish game. There are no branching conversation trees, No multiple quest paths, no actual roleplaying contained within. It
is a fantastic Adventure hack and slash game for sure, but if it is supposed to be a roleplaying game then it fails miserably in that category. Dark Souls has more in common with Dynasty Warriors than a roleplaying game, and I do not know who decided to come
up with the term "Action RPG" to label Hack and Slash games with leveling mechanics. Because all RPG's have action ( with the exception of the sims), and if you decide to focus on the action and forego roleplaying, then it isn't a roleplaying game at all.

I've joined multiple covenants and have seen no extra side quests or storylines from them. All they do is give you access to equipment from certain merchants. And I am aware of the two different endings, which have nothing to do with roleplaying it's just
a matter of lighting the fire or not lighting it, nothing to do with choices during the game. Army of two:TFD has 3 endings. Nothing to do with Roleplaying.

The "strict Guidelines" that a game must follow to be an RPG is it must actually have roleplaying with in it. That is a pretty simple concept. Other than that it could be Mario Kart super RPG for all I care.

Ok so what exactly do you mean by roleplaying? aren't you doing that exact thing in pretty much every game? you play the role of a character whether your own or another.

What are these Classic RPG conventions you speak of? Leveling? Experience? Stat management? Those are mechanics and do not require roleplaying, nor do they define a Roleplaying game.

So Final Fantasy isn't an RPG nor is it Dragon's Quest, some of the oldest examples of the RPG genre, gotcha.

Oh and No I don't 1 star your posts, I don't even rate them. if I did I would have to give you at least a 3 after deducting points for your differing opinion.

Good to know

It puzzles me why you seem to have a problem with games these days that utilize old mechanics and are called RPGs but now if a game has them it isn't an RPG.

Many of the greatest RPG games in the past had little user input into the story you were more like an observer rather than taking the role of a character and yet they were and still are called RPGs.

Roleplaying is roleplaying. Look up the definition if you are unsure of whaty it means, I have already explained it several times over the last few years. If you chose to ignore it or could not understand the simple concept then I cannot help you. The language
barrier might be getting in the way. You will need to help yourself. But Roleplaying is not leveling up and adding +5 to your strength and thinking "Woots! Now I can wield that +100 Great Sword of Pink Fluffy Fairy dust."

I've never consider FF to be a Roleplaying game, it's always been a linear turn based strategy game to me. The whole stats , levels etc originated in turned based strategy games, it was adapted to Roleplaying Games to give rules to events and actions that
could not be determined through roleplaying alone. They are not need when it comes to Console or PC RPG's. Based on your beliefs Deus Ex is not a Role Playing Game? Yet it is one of the best of the last few years. Even the original AD&D games were not RPG's,
But Strategy games, they were made by Strategic Simulations after all.

The Japanese games you label as RPG's are not, Just because the language barrier and a misunderstanding on their side means they mistakenly labeled them RPG's doesn't make it so. When Anime first hit the western world it was refered to as Manga. Because people
did not understand that Manga was the comic book form the Anime was based on, they didn't differentiate. Westerners actually learned the error and changed, japan hasn't and has continued to focus on the mechanics of early RPG's rather than what Roleplaying
actually is.

Stat management and levels is not Roleplaying. It is just a game mechanic. Roleplaying is roleplaying, without roleplaying a game is not an RPG.

As for the Covenant sidequest thing, I will look more into that and see if it is roleplaying or just side quests gained by fetching items and handing them to the covenant giver. Which it most likely is. Still like to point out again for those that missed the
point. Side quests are not Role Playing.

I still believe a lot of people think that it is the mechanics that make a game a Role Playing game. mechanics mean nothing. they are just a tool, as much as pressing A for everything is.
