I'm looking for a new game to play once I finish Half Life 2. I'd like a hack n slash similar to the Baldurs Gate games. Any ideas?

Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale (were there 2?,) Arcanum, Dungeon Siege off the top of my head.

Play Counter Strike : Source

Morrowind (older but sweet game...)

Doom 3 - just to scare yourself silly

Tribes - Vengeance (more multiplayer action)

Call Of Duty (only the first one...)

etc.

If you don't mind a first-person perspective, Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion will have location-based damage, amazing graphics...and...soil erosion modelling

I can't wait

I'll second morrowind.

I've played through half life 2 too many times now, whens half life 3 coming out anyone?

When's Elder Scrolls 4 coming out?

thief 3

The estimated release date on Oblivion is December of '05, so as exciting as it looks we'll be waiting a while.

Yeah, morrowind's a good hack and slasher, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't capture my imagination like ... uh, the game after Arena. But that's way too old for your rig, so Morrowind's a good bet. It was one of the first games that featured reflective water using dx9, I think.

Rome: Total War, my favorite game of 2004. Half-Life 2 takes a close second.

If you haven't played through halflife 1, do so (at least until the last level, which is hell).

FarCry was the game of the year after HL2, too bad HL2 came out and blew everything we knew about games away. FarCry is immense fun though, and about as good graphically.

Similar and better than Baldur's Gate... Neverwinter Nights

 

[Wookie]

If you play Farcry i'd check the difficulty as the last levels can be stupidly difficult. You could also try Vampire: Bloodlines, it is an rpg that uses the source engine, well written but a tad buggy.

Alright, looks like I've got a decent list going:

Baldurs Gate 2
Icewind Dale
Rome: Total War
Neverwinter Nights

I have Doom 3 and I can't get into it, and Half Life came with the collectors edition of Half Life 2, so I'm playing through it concurrently. I can't get over how good Half Life 2 looks!

Thanks for the suggestions!

Neverwinter nights would get my recommendation also. Excellent game.

Ho ho ho, Baldur's Gate is very far from hack & slash.

I suggest Sacred and Morrowind.
