    If NWN2 (Never Winter Nights 2) enters in the category, then I recommend KOTOR 1 and 2 (Knights of the Old Republic).

    yea the game looked great, but im not a fan of point and click movement, I like Action RPG's where you can use a gamepad controller to play ex. Jade empire, fable etc.

    overlord sounds cool, how is the story? is it more of a funny game or serious?

    definitely funny, a joke here and there. You can either be evil or very evil, and tell your minions to attack etc etc.

    here's another two, Beowulf is the one i played recently, very very nice visual but the game is a bit linear.

    and Prince of Persia might be a lil' old (the first one anyway), but it's definitely worth going through all three of them since the stories are related.

    oops, when I said prince of persia I meant the more recent ones, i.e. from the sands of time onward.
