    Hi Guys,

    Is there any games out there that is an RPG but its in First Person game play? Just like Eye of the Beholder back in the 90s.

    I know only of one which is Might and Magic. Any more?

    Are you asking about only single player "RPG" or does MMORPG fall into your question? If so, there are many first person types. Everquest, Everquest II, Vangard, Final Fantasy, etc etc.

    looking for both i guess...

    Yeah those games mentioned, i have had a look at them in game shops and the box itself doesnt really do it justice. It does not look like First Person RPG from the screenshots on the box.

    Well I have played through the whole Eye of the Beholder trilogy and many other same type (Dungeon Master types) of games. I assure you, Oblivion and Morrowind are first person games and are better played at first person view, but can also be played at third person view if you choose so. Keep in mind though that you control only one character, unlike in those old classics. You can have hirelings and summonables on your side, which are not controllable but will follow your character do many things for him/her. The beauty of those two games are that they are fully modifiable. And there are tons of very good community made mods for them and many of them are actually better than the original quest and gameplay.
