    Can anyone recommend medieval type games for me?

    I really like that time period so I was wondering if they are games for medieval times.

    I know Assassin's creed is coming out in 7 days? But any others to look forward too?

    Have you tried "The Witcher" yet? It's pretty darn good.

    This is an older MMORPG that I used to play a couple of years ago, but it's still active, free to play, and updating:

    I can't believe nobody mentioned Oblivion yet. I guess it's mostly medieval :)

    Oh just saw it...then I could recommend Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. :D

    I'm the one who can't believe nobody mentioned ASSASSINS CREED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, it ain't completely medieval... but 95% of the time it is, and definitely worth playing this game, specially if you're in to The Crusades and the Dark Age period...

    Cause it's so imersive that most of the cities seem almost to be alive! Besides that, the directx 10 graphics of that game are really something! ;)

    Crysis with medieval mod hahha

    Actually the OP said Assasins Creed, 1st post.

    Try playing Oblivion, its a fun game. Were you looking for medieval strategy or RPG?

    Anything related. I'm really into the dark ages and age of empires is a great game. I love playing with friends and what not, I just wish winning a battle would take less time!

    Oblivion...I have always wanted to give that a shot, and same with assassin's creed coming out.

    Dude. The OP already knew about AC. :rolleyes:


    Is Dark Ages of Camelot (MMO) still active? That might be worth checking out.

    Definitely play the Thief series. If you are a graphics whore then only play Thief Deadly shadows, if not then play all three, the first two are kick ass. I would also recommend Oblivion and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic.

    Diablo II if you don't mind a little old-school :)

    Thousands of people still playing that on Battle.net
