If you have played any RPG that follows the Lore of Dungeons and Dragons, you already know what to expect from it. Neverwinter Nights is another D&D Role Playing Game with team tactics and individual control for each character in your team.
The graphical engine has been highly upgraded since the first Neverwinter Nights and so has all of the game capabilities. A lot functionality from the original still exist, but Neverwinter Nights 2 is even more immersive.
STALKER Call of Pripyat is a sequel to STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and expands on the adventure into the Zone. Not only are the graphics more detailed, but there are larger maps, more mutants, more quests and more accessories. If you were thrilled with the first STALKER, you will like Call of Pripyat even more!
Prepare to go further into the Zone and find some interesting artifacts while surviving against the elements and mutants.

Titan Quest has become one of my all time favorite Role Playing Games. I kinda stumbled on it and found a hidden gem.
Displaying a mysterious Greek Mythological theme, Titan Quest has everything... exploration, leveling up, melee & projectile attacks, magic & special abilities. Not to mention the monsters and enemies are unique and very fun to kill.
Titan Quest runs very well in PlayOnLinux with high resolutions and crisp colorful graphics.
Back when I was busy playing Battlefield 1942, Return to Castle Wolfenstein & Half-Life... there were some amazing RPG games that just didn't get the credit they deserved. I wasn't aware of open world exploration games like Morrowind, or the ability to level up your character and customize their entire inventory.
Many years later after becoming an RPG addict, I found Arx Fatalis on GOG.com and realized what I had been missing.
Diablo was First!
The first Action RPG to hit the shelves! We all owe thanks to Diablo for the may Action RPG's in its wake. This is where it all started... leveling up, massive hordes of enemies, looting corpses & chests, spells, armor, hundreds of weapons, on and on and on...
Diablo and Diablo 2 are the classics and absolutely run great in Linux.

Mass Effect combines role-playing and first person shooter elements within a fantasy sci-fi lore. The beginning seems simple enough, but as you continue with dialog and team members you will be immersed with decisions that will affect your character for the rest of the game. If your team-mates survive, they will appear in the next game with dialog linking to previous events.
If you have played any of the Mass Affect franshise, then I don't have to remind you of the beautiful graphical visuals...
The Legend Of Grimrock is an indie role playing game made with absolutely professional stature. Boasting high quality graphics, close cooridors, exploration, in-your-face action, 4 classes, and all the weapons, spells, monsters your RPG heart could want.
The unique aspect of Grimrock goes back to the original RPG's of the 80's with grid-like movement & dungeon mazes. In effect its a combination of old skool & modern game engine.
Naturally I wanted to play The Legend of Grimrock in Linux....
