Agreed. I have NWN 2 but have never completed the game as it becomes too frustrating for me to play after a while. Even with so many patches the game is still so poorly optimized and buggy. On high end computers to this day it still struggles for many people. I cant hand the AI of my henchmen in the game. They do some of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in a game. All my strategies are thrown out the window when my team simply charge at the enemy, running into mass groups of archers, spellcasters, etc. Then they are all dead.
Was actually going to try NWN2 again but no need now thanks to Drakensang.
Well it's not exactly classifiable as an 'underdog' because it is fairly well known, but i have been playing Planescape: Torment as of late and it is awesome.
X3: Terran Conflict, if you want a space economic, fighter/ simulator.
Awesome game.

Originally posted by LotosSlayer I highly recommend Deus Ex. The story is just amazing.
To this day, I still have never managed to play Deus Ex because my friend's damn copy doesn't seem to want to work with WinXP. I'll try again, when I return to the UK.
For single-player RPG goodness Morrowind hands-down. The sheer breadth and depth of the the World in terms of content, narrative, quests, NPCs, in-game readable lore, and freedom is staggering. It feels like a living, breathing world, whose denizens respond to your actions - and seemingly carry on with their lives, whether you choose to interact with them or not. TES:MW [The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind] community is superb, providing a huge wealth of modifications and additions to the games, from realistic bodies / faces for character customization inc. NPCs, to changable weather conditions, and new narratives and quests that would rival professional development. Some of these modifications are vast in scope.
Whatever little free-time I actually have will be spent playing single-player RPGs that I've missed over the years such as: Grim Fandango Planescape Torment The Nomad Soul Farenheit
to name but a few. Any recommendations for adult, dark pscyhological horror / suspense? I'm thinking in terms of Kult.
Cheers!

Oh yeah, morrowind was amazing. I played that for years.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
mount and blade: warbands is a pretty epic feeling game that isn't a big name expensive game, and it has a variety of mods to customize your play experience to better fit your likes and dislikes

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Hellgate: London. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is great too.
Vault-Tec analysts have concluded that the odds of worldwide nuclear armaggeddon this decade are 17,143,762... to 1.

Well if you're looking for something cheap and oldschool:
Dungeon Keeper 2.
O_o o_O
MS Mahjong.
Mount and Blade:Warband, Might and Magic: Dark Messiah

Titan's Quest is a really good hack and slash RPG that hasn't been mentioned yet.
