I have always enjoyed the combination of FPS and RPG.

Not a fan of FPS, but I love me a good RPG. Final Fantasy is my favorite series.

Interesting. I would Final Fantasy not even count as RPG. I just looked at a few Youtube gameplays. For me it is a primitive combat game with excessively long cut scenes and admittedly great graphics. Would not touch it with a ten foot pole. Buuuuut..... there is no accounting for taste. :-D

Wait, what? Are you just talking about FFXIII?

I'm talking about the old-school games basically up to FFX

It's a very long running series, FFVII being one of my favorites.

Can't really tell. As I said, I knew nothing about the FF games and checked some Youtube gameplays after your post. I really like anime, but for some reasons playing one has absolutely no appeal to me. I like a dense RPG story, which is worth good fantasy book. FF surely has a dense background story, I once saw a FF film in a cinema, but as Game? I just rechecked FFX... Not my thing.

How do you feel about Dungeon Siege? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Siege

Bad. Very bad. I liked Baldur's Gate at the time, which seems to be similar. Now I watched this:

At min 0:40 first fight. Ok, the description says 'speed run', but I stopped after 4:00. In all this time behind almost every bush or tree a new enemy appeared. Most likely it is a 5 minute story game, which is inflated to hrs by senseless fights. I just get bored when I get attacked every three steps. I also don't like it to be send back and forth the same ways... get this, do that...walking for no other reason but to get told: This game is worth x0 hrs playing fun. Witcher was that way.

But I must say.... after Dishonored I am spoiled.... Very hard to satisfy me now.... Damn Arkane Studios :-D
