Are there any other games like this?

[tsjanith]

Are there any other massive dynamic open world isosemetric RPGs other than this one? I beat this game twice, and have been craving a game like it ever since. People keep referring me to diablo. No me gusta diablo.

Any suggestions?

[tanknology]

Have you checked out Pillars of Eternity? It comes out next week.
PS. Sorry, not sure how to link to the game itself ...

I checked out some gameplay. Personally I'm not too much into pausing and micromanaging numerious characters at once. It gets kind of tedious. I'm fine with this sort of style in first person games like the Might and Magic series, but for an isosemetric game I'm honestly looking for a Divine Divinity clone

uhh.. beyond divinity?

Unfortunately bd is much worse, then dd, i hope Original Sin is like dd, not played yet.

[Drowning witch]

original sin is nothing like DD, its actually much closer to pillars of eternity and similar party based rpg's.

OP: Divinity 2 ego draconis is third person, but it plays very much like divine divinity. a great mix of hack and slash and traditional rpg. other than larian games, nothing else out mixes diablo with meaty rpg's like that, at least nothing I know of.

beyond divinity is great as well, but don't pick a high difficulty if you don't want to pause a lot. you can just put the second character on agressive, making him auto attack, and you can play it just like divine divinity plays.

In BD an archer works great on aggressive, but I wouldn't want a melee character rushing off at the first sign of opponents. Even without a character set to aggressive, with appropriate builds, most of the time you can have both characters selected and direct them to move and attack as one. Summoning dolls cab be helpful in combat (especially the first one you get, that can equip a crossbow), but are not very tough (even if upgraded) so I mostly just used them in the hardest battles (almost always just the first doll, kept back out of melee range as much as possible).

I haven't played much of it, but you could check out Inquisitor (its heavy on reading, be warned!).. Anachronox, maybe.. Maybe the 'Gothic' series? Not a whole lot outside of the Diablo Clones (Torchlight 1 and 2, Sacred 1 and 2, Titan Quest: Immortal Throne..)

Honestly, I haven't played much of Divinity 1, so I can't truly judge :|

Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and Planescape Torment. Fallout 1 + 2.

[Zero]

As Grum said, check out Sacred (first game of the series, second and third are nothing like that when it comes to game experience). Apart from that, i'd reccomend Dungeon Siege, even if you are encouraged to gather a team there (you can easly beat the game with one character if you wish though).

PS - Sacred isn't really Diablo clone though

[studmuffin]

Venetica is on here really cheap.I,m pretty sure its open world.could'nt swear on it though.Made by the company that did lords of the fallen if i,m not mistaken..and its on offer very cheap.May be wrong about the lords of the fallen bit but its a great game.

[Songbird]

You are looking for Wasteland 2 OP :D

[vigabrand]

Thanks for all your suggestions.

Unfortunately I have played most of them. With Sacred, the level scaling is just to absurd for me. I was told that you can go defeat the final boss at level 1. That's pretty offputting to say the least.

Didn't like the Baldur's gate games at all. Haven't tried Planescape Torment, but I'll check it out.

I really liked D2, but I can't really say it plays anything like DD. Very underrated game nevertheless.

The other Divinity games... I don't know what to say honestly. I tried to like them. I failed

Wasteland 2, again, large party micromanagement style gameplay=headache & tedium.

I recently started playing Titan Quest. I'm enjoying it okay,although it seems to be more of a Diablo clone than a DD clone. It lies somewhere in between.

A long time ago, I remember playing a game called Revenant. The game was so atrociously broken that I never got it to work right. The game's programing is do decimated at its core that it can't even be found anywhere. Anyway, this is the game that got me on the search for a game like it, eventually leading me to DD, which is clearly the pinnacle of of it's kind. Likely due to the probability that it's the only functional title of it's kind.

I find it sad and highly surprising that isosemetric open world titles like this didn't take off...or at least spawn 3 or 4 more titles of its ilk.

Edit: OP here. Brother's account

If you're going to try Planescape Torment, note that it's kind of an interactive book. Only worth playing if you really like reading and complex, interesting storylines. Also look at the modding guides before you play it. It's a classic though.

[Gatherer Thompson]

I like BG2 more than Planescape but I'm not much for storyline ;) COMBAT! And for Sacred 1 you probably can rush the final boss early on, but its an utter waste to do so (you can do the same thing in Fallout/Elder Scrolls as well, but I see it as more of a "Okay, I beat /everything/, now what? SPEED RUN!" Sacred is /beefy/, and Sacred 2 even more so, but I cannot say that its any better than Titan Quest or Diablo.. Very similar, but it has its own atmosphere going.. I will say that Sacred 1 and 2 are terribly grindy (which I love)..

Hrm.. Now you've got me thinking harder :| First one that comes up is Record of Lodoss War for Dreamcast, but thats a bit hard to access these days (and isn't isometric) :| Not sure if anyone's mentioned Avernum: Escape From The Pit, or the Geneforge series.. Maybe the first two or three Fallout games?

Urgh.. Spotted a new isometric open world game called Children of War: Blood and Snow on Kickstarter but it only collected 10,000 of its 50,000 goal :( I'm hitting the bottom of the barrel, already!? :( You've pointed out how under-served the iso-graphics-lovers are.. "Modern gaming", noooo! ;)

Games I spotted on Google but have no knowledge of:
Drakensang
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_IX:_Ascension Not isometric, though..

Non-Divinity related, my two favorite isometric games are the first X-COM and Final Fantasy Tactics :) Honorable mention to the Sega version of Shadowrun ;)
