Need help --- ISO new game for bro bday

[mikea454]

Looking for a new game to play online with my little brother. (live far apart so no LAN gameS). He likes Heroes of might and magic/warcraft/edler scrolls/diablo/baldurs gate/neverwinter nights, pretty much any role playing game. He definately prefers a game where he has the option to play private game with just me, like diablo and not like maple story/ WOW or anything. Would really appreciate suggestions. Going home for his bday this weekend, need suggestions!!!

I've been looking for a new game like this lately as well. Maybe Nox if you can find it, I need to find a copy myself lol.

if hes into lord of the rings, me and my sister sometimes play battle for middle earth together, its pretty cool. its more of a strategy game than rp though.

Nox, game from like 6 years ago? I got a copy of that game, but I didn't hink it was multiplayer.... they dont still have a server set up for that game do they??

Blood the middle earth game is it like the PS versions. Or is that like a warcraft game, or a civilization game, heroes of might and magic or what. Can you playing with other people or just with friends? do you have a character you use again and again, or do you start fresh with each new game? Can you describe the play at all, that info is always so hard to find online.

S/S make it look like a Age of empires Or Rome: total war meets Risk (the board game) does that sound about right?

its more like a warcraft/starcraft thing. if you play the campaign you get to keep characters from each mission and they gain levels, but if you play mulitplayer or single player single missions you dont. the multiplayer was kind of weird, but me and my sister figured out how to get a game for just us 2 through the internet. i think you can play up to 4 people in a game.
