Probably Fallout 2 or on of the Baldurs Gate games.

Oh or Planescape:Torment

Yep. I graduated from Vet School in 1994, was in private practice for 3 years and did a pathology residency (another 3 years) and I've been at the PhD since 2000.

Jeez, I'm burned out.....

It will be over soon.

Coooool.

My Nephew would love you. He's Animal daft.

It's a bit off putting when at 5 years old he wants you to read a book points at an animal and says "what's that" and you say it's a Otter and the little smart-arse then tells you "It's not a seal Uncle Paul! That's a Weasel"

Would he like the cutting up animals bit? I decided at 11 I wanted to be a vet but I never saw myself being a pathologist. Now I can't think of anything else I'd rather be.

They are all too smart at that age (smarter than I was). I blame the media!

*Makes note not to annoy Melanie who is handy with a scalpel*

Is it like in CSI but with dogs and cat crimes

Only kidding.

P.S This is Rachels thread so I better stop bugging Melanie.

Hi Rachel, I'm Oto, the resident mentally unbalanced snake. I'll be 26 in two months and I play only games whose titles begin with a letter A. I'll move onto B when I get a new haircut and then onto K when I lose all my hair. Welcome to this wonderful place of wonderfulness!

RIDance · 10-31-2005, 08:46 AM

Haha, that's okay guys. You're enertaining.

Hey can you guys recommend a really great adventure game for me? I can't find anything I might like.

Something along the lines of Kings Quest and Kyrandia- fiction/fantasy/magic. Nothing creepy or weird- I scare easily.

SoccerDude28 · 10-31-2005, 09:14 AM

Hi RIDance welcome to AG.

You will find out that everyone here is super nice and helpful and it's a wonderful bunch of people and a wonderful place to be.

Any game in the Monkey Island series.

Phantasma--

Er.. Quest for Glory might suit your fancy. Heavy on the fiction, fantasy and magic, and an RPG to boot. The fourth game, Shadows of Darkness, has a creepy setting, but in the strictest 'monster movie' fantasy sense -- it's very Transylvanian. And even then, the QFG games are pretty light-hearted and all have their share of good humor.

Y'know... that panning stuff's pretty fun...

RLacey · 10-31-2005, 09:56 AM

Info? OK

I'm Robert, I'm 19 in a little under a fortnight, and I'm an Oxford [Modern

] History student. Occasionally I write something for this site, but the rest of the time I try to avoid being noticed by Jack

. I also spend years failing to update my website, but that might change soon. The first AG I played (leaving aside Interactive Fiction) was Monkey Island 2, so I came out a LucasArts fan. I also play a lot of games from other genres nowadays, though

.

And a game recommendation? ~~Realms of the Hau~~Simon the Sorcerer might be up your street if you like the fantasy-type setting, but otherwise anything from LucasArts is good (and shouldn't be particularly scary).

An upcoming game called Keepsake might be right up your alley.

The Longest Journey is always a favourite as long as you don't mind long conversations. It's a classic.

There is a kinda sequel called Dreamfall due out next year.

Yeah, for fantasy/magic/etc. with no scary bits it's hard to beat TLJ

Welcome to the big leagues, rookie.

Gknight · 10-31-2005, 03:27 PM

The Longest Journey is a very good game. You should like it.

Hi there, welcome to the forums.
I'm Julien, 25, french, and my avatar is Jenifer Connelly shouting underwater in Requiem for a Dream. (in case anybody is still wondering

)

Fiction/fantasy/magic -> Simon the Sorcerer, Death Gate, for the older games, and The Longest Journey, for the "newest" one.
As for the upcoming, keep an eye out for Keepsake.
