risky choice, but I'll say Anachronox, what game allows you to travel and fight with a whole minature planet with it's own quirky government?

Are there any modules for NWN2 that come close?

Not an RPG?
>>
>>345127070
I think most NWN2 modules have better combat encounters. NWN1 has easier tools to work with so it's the go to one for writers first, developers second.

Skyrim? I don't even have anything against it, but it's fucking Skyrim.

>>345125341
Sort of off-topic question here, but has anyone played Nox?

What did you think of it?
>>
>>345130243
Name an RPG with better character customization, honestly, unless you want to say Fallout 4.
>>
>>345130419

a pleasant diablo-type hack and slash
>>
>>345130862
I dunno? Most of them? TES games always end with characters being the same warrior-thief-mage demigods.

I could spend hours customizing my party in Icewind Dale. Shitload of interesting pieces of equipment helped.
>>
>>345125341

Just my opinion as I haven't played every RPG.

>Main Story

Probably Planescape Torment since it's deeper than an ancient evil has awoken. Though I thought Fallout 1 was highly original too.

>Setting and atmosphere.

For setting, classic Fallout. For Atmosphere, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines obviously.

>Customization

Stat and ability based customization, I guess Dues Ex for all the different augs you can customize yourself with. For armor and looks, I dunno maybe Dragon Age Origins.

>companions

If JRPG's count then Atelier Totori because of all the waifu's. But if it's only WRPG's then probably Planescape, or maybe Mass Effect 1 or DA Origins again.

>Combat

Knights of the Old Republic 1 or 2 work fine I guess. I dunno really.

I assumed it meant the actual customization of your guy. Like, sculpting his face and what he looks like and all that. Because Skyrim/F4 has that on lock down.

>Gothic 2 (fuck off, the progression is satysfying and the whole system requires skill, the whole game can be beaten with a dagger (except for dragons in NotR because health regen) if you are patient and skilled enough)

Morrowind (fuck you, it's perfect for its purpose), Dark Messiah

Alpha Protocol (not perfect, but there is no game that comes close to that tier of choice and consequences and i am wondering if there will be anything as good as it)
>Setting and atmosphere
Gothic

Morrowind (all those retarded ways to get overpowered)

are for fags
>Combat
guess new vegas because it is one of few games where traps are actually useful.
>>
>>345125341
Planescape:Torment
Vampire: the Masquerade: Bloodlines(note that it avoids a LOT of stupid shit from the tabletop game)
Neverwinter Nights+PrC Pack mod
Planescape:Torment
Divinity: Original Sin
