Are there any MMORPGs that arent online, but are like it

My internet speed isn't near fast enough to play games online, but I love the experience MMORPGs offer.  So I was wondering if there are games out there like some MMORPGs that do not have to be played online (and have a fairly in depth offline too)?  I can't seem to find any, so if you could point me somewhere, that would be great!

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 if you haven't played them yet. This is the closest to an MMORPG you will find in an offline game.

    Minions of Mirth
    It's an mmorpg that can be played both online and offline.

    another worth consider is The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, while not exactly an mmorpg, it has a lot of elements you'd find in one.(very open-ended, massive world, and very customizable character)

    Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, hands down one of the bests RPG I
    have ever played! Good luck with it! You can also try Neverwinter
    Nights but the campaign it' s a bit boring... and the game is outdated
    =)


    Wallo =)

    Find a copy of Planescape: Torment. Its graphics are a bit dated, but it's still one of the best rpg's I've ever played. If that's not possible, I'll second the suggestion for Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2.

    It is a great game, although its a shame it really could have been great great. If they would have worked on the bugs alot.
    But it is a great game, I would love to see them do to this game like they did to Oblivion.

     

    That would be my pick for ya, play Oblivion

    Pick any single player RPG, they are all better then any MMO, RPG speaking. The downer is they are single player.

    I played Oblivion and Vampire Bloodlines recently. No MMO can touch them. Make sure you download the patch for bloodlines before you play it, as someone noted, it released with a boatload of bugs on board. NeverWinter Nights 2 also just released and its getting pretty good reviews (no surprise there)

    Also you might want to look into some of the older MMO's many were designed/made for 56k modem connections like Asheron's Call, Ultima Online and Everquest. I played all 3 on dial up back in the days before high speed internet connections were around. Graphic are kinda yucky but in all honestly some of these games are far superior to anything released in the last 3 or 4 years.

    I can't believe that no one has pointed out that if it's not online then it's not an MMORPG, just a RPG.

    With that said, Phantasy Star Universe has both a full single player RPG that you might like.

     But FYI it's not an MMO if it isn't online.

    QFT

    NWN2 seems to be shaping up to have a similar kind of feel in regards to character and party dynamics as P:T did. Not nearly as good a story, but fun nonetheless.

    My son plays a few RPG games that are a lot like MMOs in nature. He used to play Sacred ,  which is an older game that can be found in the Wal-mart bargain bin game area.  He recently started playing Titan Quest .  It plays a lot like sacred, but looks tons better. Both games have an online option, but can be played entirely offline as well.

    there is always the .hack// series that can be played on consoles, but no customization there . It looks like it is an actual mmorpg just like the show, or you can try pso or psu which both have an online and offline which are really great. Give those a try and hope you like them.

    Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura
    A bit dated graphics etc (2d isometric view) but great gameplay that still holds up well.

    Fallout 1 and 2 are scf-fi, after the bomb, sort of like Mad Max.
    Arcanum is Fantasy and Steampunk (as the name suggests).

    Oblivion, Morrowind, Fable, Knight of the Old Republic come to mind right off the bat.   I'd say Oblivion and Morrowind being the closest.

    Another vote for Elder Scrolls: Oblivion here.  I'm playing through it right now.  It is an offline, single player game, but it's as close to a single player MMO that I've played.

    It has a huge world, that can be explored for hours and hours if you like.  You can craft potions and spells.  There are "faction" quests so to speak if you join certain quilds in the game.  Plus, it's a skill based game, so you can create your character however you like.

    It can keep you busy for a long time if it ends up being to your liking.

    I could play EvE online and listen ( but not talk ) on Team speak just using dialup.

    the whole .//hack series for the playstation 2 is good.

    it's a single player rpg, but the game takes place in an MMO.
