I've also just ordered:

- Neverwinter Nights Diamond (Used)

Sooo, you think I have enough to last a few weeks? :lol:
Have you ever played Neverwinter Nights? I think you're going to love it.

I agree, NWN was a lot of fun to play. Misslilo, you should especially play Hordes of the Underdark. As an adventure gamer, you'll appreciate the puzzles in it that the other two lack. It's a definite improvement on the main campaign and the first expansion both in it's use of more varied gameplay and a better story (with more involved Henchmen).

Alright - as you know, I had do a complete new system install and since then I've only installed RPG's :lol:

So far I've installed:
Fable - The Lost Chapters - I love this game! Not too hard for me and quite interesting.
NWN Diamond - Not that far in the game yet. Just about to explore the escaped prisoners area. Can't decide how I like it yet :)
Divine Divinity - Hmm, just started it - think I was spoiled with Morrowind and the gameplay and freedom there.

Next will be Morrowind again, as I truly love this game.

Would you please try the Windows version of KQ6, just to see if it works in Vista32?

I'd suggest trying Nox instead of Divine Divinity. Both take a lot from the Diablo games, but Nox actually has an interesting storyline and many characters to interact with. Depending on the class you choose, the game's plot can differ quite a bit.

I'm assuming that the 'escaped prisoners' area is part of chapter 1 of the original story of NWN. I wouldn't recommend playing through that story - compared to Hordes of the Underdark or even Shadows of Undrentide, the original story is bland, repetitive and generally boring. :( Both SoU and HotU are much more involving and challenging. :)

If you like adventure games, and you like "party" style CRPGS, you absolutely need to play Planescape: Torment. It's a good 9 or 10 years old now, but it still has the deepest, most interesting story of any CRPG I've ever played, and the gameplay has a lot of original elements that you just don't see in most games of its genre.
