    just wondering, are there any games like Dungeon Siege 1/2 for the PC? I don't know much about games, but I guess it's an action rpg? thanks a lot.

    I've played oblivion, it's a bit too slow and too much like a FPS. NWN is too technical and difficult to get into. I'm looking for something easy to get into and fun. I'll give Titan Quest a shot, the screens look promising. Thanks.

    Loki was released not too long ago, there's Silverfall, it's a cell shaded one, there's also Sacred with Sacred 2 coming out before too long, I believe. Also there's the epic legendary whispered rumored maybe released in this decade Diablo III ( insert announcer with a ridiculous voice )

    Hellgate is too FPS. Silverfall had some pretty bad reviews so I'm going to stay away from that. Loki looks alright though. Thanks again.

    I'm not sure if you've tried Hellgate or not, and maybe there are lots of reasons not to play it, but in my opinion it's pretty much a pure action RPG, and not an FPS game at all. You can play all characters classes in 3rd person perspective if you want --- Marksmen/Engineers are the only classes where there can be a real benefit to zooming into an FPS perspective on occasion if you prefer a 3rd person perspective (as I do).

    Hellgate is a three-d game, so it's not a Diablo/Titan Quest-type isometric view, but personally I like it much better than either Titan Quest or Dungeon Siege (which, of course, may make my preferences a less useful guide to your own :p )

    Space Siege probably o_O , but thats coming out later this year.

    Titan Quest is decent but not as fun as Dungeon Siege, also the multiplayer is really bugged in TQ but not in DS.
