OT: a nice RPG-ish game?

- Pool of Radiance (ouch, the memory pains me)

HAHA funny story: I followed the development of the game up until its release, then got it the day it came out. Except I got caught in unexpected overtime at work for a few weeks, and by the time I sat down to play Pool of Radiance, I read the review about how disappointing, and put it right back on my shelf. Same thing happened with Master of Orion3. I tracked the game all through development, then bought it the first few days it came out. Except that time I got a copy for my friend as a belated-birthday present. Again I got caught up with work, and when I got the news that it was terrible, I was saved yet again!

Moral of this story: you can always count on work to save you from bad games. (oh, and read reviews before buying games)
