What Game R -U Playing now?

[Gandalf Parker]

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.

Oh, and I keep forgetting: What's this Lords of Magic? I tried to find it on the internet, but couldn't find the main website, just some cheats, hints and faq sites.
