What Game R -U Playing now?

[Raapys]

Daggerfall, X2, Planescape Torment, HoMM3, Lords of magic, Medieval:VI, Anarchy Online, SEIV, Babylon project(Freespace2), KotoR2 and Dominions2.

What's "real life"?

Games I'm looking forward to: Tes4:Oblivion, X3, Gothic3, Dominions3, SEV, Daggerfall remake, HoMM5(if ever)and probably many other good games.

And as one guy here said; The underdogs site really is poison.

Oh, and if someone here have tried and like some/all of the games I've mentioned, and have a good tip for other games I should try, please do tell. I've found out there's always some games I've barely heard of, that turns out to be true gems. Latest one being Dominions 2, which contained lots of things I've missed in other games, though it has it's shortcomings too.

Hmmm..

Last four games:

(1) Rome:TW (vanilla; 1.25);
(2) Master of Orion III (even with multiple mods, gave up again due to crashes, bugs and extreme tedium with no reward);
(3) IG2; and
(4) Ascendancy.

Favorites by genre:
(1) Space Strategy 4x (SE4)
(2) FPS (Half-Life 2)
(3) WW2 Strategy (HOI)
(4) Tactical (tie b/n X-Com and JA2)
(5) RTS (Warzone 2100)
(6) Turn-Based (M.A.X.)

Homm5 is expected to be released in Q1 2006, along with another game using the Might and Magic brand. Who will actually make the game remains dark at this moment: Nivel was mentioned some time ago, and Ubisoft appeared to be doing some designing a year ago or so.

Daggerfall, Torment and Freespace: you do have good taste. I would have mentioned Gothic, but you already know that one. Maybe the games from Spiderweb Software could interest you? Their site is available here; Blades of Avernum, the Avernum trilogy and the Geneforge games (especially those ones for a stranger universe) to be more specific.

And you said something about "Daggerfall remake": is it wishful thinking, or is there actually a game that tries to remake Daggerfall?

Oh, and I almost forgot: there is another Babylon flight-sim available if you like Babylon. The address is here, and the downloads are available on the right of the page. Be warned though, as this one is rather different (and harder) than Freespace (who forgot to put armour on my Starfury?).

Apart from SE4 and CoH I am also playing Dawn of War. It's not funny the way 4 Land Raiders cut through enemy marines, not to mention cultists.

[Raapys]

I will check out the Spiderweb Software games.
There is a Daggerfall remake in the making, though progress is slow. But still, at least there is progress.

I've played both the Gothic games, and ejoyed both too. For some reason, I liked the first one best. Even though I had the german copy and barely understood every second word of what was spoken
I think the first one just had a better atmosphere than the second. Loved the first time I walked into the swamp city, the old castle, etc. The only place I really liked in the second one, was the Monastary.

I've tried the "I found her" B5 demo, but since it's far from complete, it didn't really catch my interest. Also since, from what I gathered, they haven't planned to include the Shadows&Vorlons yet, which is the most interesting to me.

Morrowind?

Daggerfall: I would love to see a remake. I was disappointed with the releases that followed it.

Lets see, desktop icons at the moment are:
DiabloII, SEIV, Dominions 2, Master of Magic, Ultima Online (playing the free shards), Celtic Kings, Tranquility, and some generic versions of Balderdash and Missile Command.

In the recently moved to the "other games" folder (still played but downgraded from being right on the desktop) there is:
NeverWinter Nights, Freelancer, StarFury, Stars!, Battle for Wesnoth, Interstellar Trader 2.

Recently bought and already deleted:
Etherlords II, Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic, GeneForge 2, Star Wars Galaxies, GalCiv, Master of Orion 3, Freedom Force, Divine Divinity, prelude to darkness, age of mythology. Hmmmm I know there are many more but my wife cleaned up the "dead games" shelf so I cant glance up to remind me of the more recent and worse examples.

"Morrowind?"

I did play it for a while. But Daggerfall just had so much more to it. And I liked the Medieval theme in Daggerfall better than Morrowind's questionable theme. And Daggerfall felt epic, and not centered just on you. It's probably the most ambitious game ever created, and hadn't it been for the missing features and bugs, it would have been beyond doubt the best RPG game ever. I still think it is the best, in it's class, but there's so much lacking too.
I hope that, eventually, the remake will fix that.

It would seem that we share many of the same tastes Gandalf. The only ones of the games you mentioned that I don't play, are the ones I haven't tried. Will check them out now(Celtic Kings, Tranquility). I tried the latest Age of Wonders just recently, but found out it's just really a downgraded and dumbdowned version of Lords of Magic. Was going to try GalCiv now(no ship designing?).

I loved MoO2, and actually did like the sequel; when it was patched and modded. It was far from the same game as the previous one, but it did have some appealing aspects.
What I would like, is a combination of all the features and small details in SEIV, and MoO3's playstyle(except the combat)/interface. I thought it was better to work with than SEIV's.

If Morrowind had had a generator allowing for more random things... Now that would have been wonderful. I found the bugs to be not so annoying in Daggerfall (once fully patched of course, and with the cheatcodes enabled for those clipping glitches), but the game did eventually lose variety. If you could just add more quests on a random pattern, more dungeons, more enemies and the like...

The wonders of wishful thinking.

You can't edit Daggerfall? There are no mods for it? *Oh, me, oh my! What a lot of funny things go by on this forum. ** http://www.uesp.net/dagger/files/dagfiles.shtml#misc http://www.uesp.net/dagger/files/dagfiles.shtml#addons

* Dr. Suess is fun.
** /me mourns for m0use.net. The daggerfall &fasion gallery had some funny screenshots and stories.

On Morrowind: Yes, compared to Daggerfall it's linear, small and kinda boring. ***But once I got over the fact that they went for stability, I realised that it's about 300% greater than any other RPG on the market.

***Then I got annoyed over the moral uncertanty that seemed to be stuffed into every quest, but I seem to be over that now.

& Don't seem to be able to recall how to spell that.
