So, I recently played through Avernum: Escape from the Pit, which is a remake of Exile: Escape from the Pit, made by the same people (mostly one dude, if I'm not mistaken) in the 1990s.
Fucking loved it. Looking for more old school, top-down, turn-based rpgs. I already know Fallout, Wasteland, Ultima, and Arcanum.
Any more specific contents you're looking for?

I like having lots of options available in building a character and in what quests/missions to go on, who to talk to and what to say to them, and multiple possible endings. I especially like being able to talk shit to evil characters to start a fight.
Something sci-fi (or, hell, science fantasy) would be nice, but I'm fine with whatever you have.
For me, the best of these games tend to be from the mid-late 1990s.
I grew up playing the exile series. 3 is one of my favorite games of all time. Spiderweb even sent me a free copy since I was still registered for buying the original on 3.5" floppies directly from them 20 years ago.
That being said, I can't fucking stand Avernum. I pray the do a 64-bit release of the Exile series.

What do you dislike about Avernum? Having played both versions, I like the newer one better.

If you haven't tried them yet you must play the Geneforge series by the same dude, it's great

Play Exile/Avernum 3, it's the best overhead Ultima-like RPG ever made
Exile 2: Crystal Souls was the best
Played the fuck out of this game on my mac when I was 10.
Shareware is nostalgia.
They're a lot more satisfying than either of the remakes, in my opinion. Really old school CRPG goodness in the original titles.
Its not exactly the same, but I love the Eschalon games from Basilisk.
Feels very old school with the way they play.
