Ultima V Lazarus
http://www.u5lazarus.com/
Lazarus is a remake of ORIGIN Systems' classic computer RPG Ultima V, which was released for the first time in 1987. If you have never played any of the Ultima games, you might want to visit The World of Ultima to find out what the series is all about. Lazarus is a mod using the Dungeon Siege engine from Gas Powered Games. It features an enhanced storyline, characters, and setting based on the original Ultima V. We want to keep the original story intact as much as possible, but we've also sought to improve the game with new side quests, a deeper and richer plot, and enhanced dialogue. In addition, we've added several entirely new NPCs.
These guys worked for 5 years to give you this awesome mod that recreates one of the best RPG's out there. I highly recommend it. It's running on the dungeon siege 1 engine, you'll need the latest patch or the legends of aranna version before install. There are still a couple of bugs, but the team is hard at work on a 1.1 patch. But the mod itself has nothing to do with the simple hack 'n slash gameplay of regular DS.
I guess halflife2.net isn't the most RPG-centered place, but if you're into those kind of games, you'll certainly appreciate this one. I've never seen such a polished mod before. I'll warn you by saying this is one of those games where you have to actually print the map, use your brain, take a few notes on REAL PAPER, and read a lot of the conversations and solve a lot of intriguing quests. But the gameworld is so big, so complete, you'll soon be glad they made it this way.
