Dungeon Crawlers (With a town) suggestions?

I'm looking for a good Dungeon Crawling game that has a town that I can sell loot, rest, heal, and buy scrolls/potions.

Any one know a good one?
The town part is a must, I know there are lots of good crawls that don't have them.
 
Some oldies but goodies are baulders gate and diablo. I've heard elder scrolls on line is actually pretty good.

edit - you could take a moderately large jump back and play zelda: link to the past (awesome game.)
 
Sorry i'm not looking for one of the story driven games. I'm more interested in the rogue like, "Stone soup" dungeon crawl. tons of classes/races random dungeons levels and loads of monsters, cursed and magic loot.
 
Adom - super weird initial keymap(you can change it),escape opens spellbook and other oddities.
T.o.M.E - I guess you know that one,overwhelming from the start,a little too much for my taste.
UNnethack - 3.6.1 comes with a nice tileset,standard nethack tileset + specific complements;higher versions
tileset (dawn something) is a convulated brown mass,what a waste of time and effort.

All in all I find DCSS superior,once you know that game it is impossible to fall back to any other roguelike's
interface.

Other:
Not a roguelike but it is special in the eyes of many - Heroes of might and magic *3*,very easy to get into,
then an incredible depth unfolds with player made maps and expansions.Really worth the 10$ if you can find it
on ebay or such .
Diablo2 as mentioned above is in a very bad shape atm,servers constantly crashing for months now due to some
bug users.
Ultima online can be played as a dungeon crawler,its free,just get on a public freeshard,ignore other players. :)
Also have a look at the dwarf fortress home page forums,in the other games section are tons of interesting games
talked about,I use that as source of general game info.

Just an FYI, Diablo3 is a game i wouldn't so much consider story driven since the story is only a small part of the game. Once you beat the story, you have unlimited hours of randomized dungeon crawls for loot/gold/gems/unlimited alternate advancement at many different levels of difficulty. A bunch of classes and TONS of different builds per class.

Not a fanboy, just giving you the info...
 
Heroes of Might and Magic....omg. So fun.

You want to play an endless game, but requires you to keep save points, like 5 or more, and have TONS and TONS of fun? Daggerfall

Any of the Elder Scrolls is great. Constant dungeons, quest and more. Daggerfall is by far the largest and best game out of all of them.

I still play Diablo 2. I own D3, but refuse to play it because I hate blizzard for what they did at release. It's all fixed now, but I can't seem to get the anger out.

Technically has a town or two. They are also technically filled with zombies.

Has towns. Although it doesn't fit your other desires as much.

Has towns too and does fill your desires. Its also my favorite roguelike of all time since you can cut your own limbs off with a rusty can and pray to a god and potentially get a new limb made of banana. The official dev vanished a long time ago but its opensource and apparently people update it still. The original was HARD AS SHIT and you needed a lot of luck and game knowledge to come close to winning.


If you can deal with dwarf fortress its adventure mode has plenty of towns and such interactions. If you only played it in the past it got a lot better in the last 2 major updates.

If you can stand disgusting amounts of anime Elona is pretty good at what you want too. There are translations of it. If you're interested in it Elona+ is basically better.

Someone recommended tome and while it certainly fits tome 4 has a lot of stupid repetition. That said the older ascii versions are a lot more freeing in what you can do or atleast more than TOME4.


I haven't personally played it but somebody told me caves of qud is close to what you want and is also very good.

This man gets around.
 
And yes HOMM3 is probably one of the best PC games I've played throught the years. It has ALWAYS been on my HDD and gets played every few months.
 
Dungeon Siege. Maybe Dungeon Siege 2 as well. They come with a story line, but you can as well just wander off and kill monsters.
 
Path of exile was pretty fun. Lots of options but have to choose points wisely as not many changes can be made.
