OT: Best D&D RPG Game?

Atrocities · #1 January 6th, 2004, 12:04 PM

Thank you David for the info. I did not know there were so many RPG games out.

They all seem so overwhelming.

I am just looking for a game that will draw me into it. A game that once I start playing I can forget about RL for a long while and just emerse myself in the gaming experience.

Umk I thought RL was an RPG. After all "Realty is a crutch for those who can't handle fantacy"

The best RPG (IMO of course) is Wizardry 8, damn fine game. Probally my 2nd favorite game after seIV and part of my all time top 10 games ever.

I'm a dinosaur. I've yet to find a PC based RPG that's a quarter as much fun as 4 or 5 friends sitting around a table with figures, maps, dice and beer.

Sorry, I feel RPG's need eyeball contact.

KotOR is not a bad game once you semi understand the atrocius control system.

The game has so many limitations and flaws that playing it is a real pain in the ***.

For example you are commanding the wookie, your better melay guy, and he comes acrossed a mine. You try to switch to your smart guy, but since the wookie saw the mine first, he is the one who has to deal with it. The same thing goes for combat, if the team member you are controlling sees and enemy, YOU MUST engage. I hate this. Also you can not pick who you kill, the game does that for you. So you can't wack the smart assed yuppy in the bar, nor the sith trooper who is in your way. You have to wait until the game says they are bad guys before you can attack, and you can only attack with the member of your team that you are control regardless of skill or health.

This game is horrible for the most part, but it is kind of fun. Let this be a lesson, all of the hype that this game is game of the year is utter BS, don't buy a game that is a port from a consule. You get what you pay for;

Poor controls, poor AI, poor player interaction, etc.

That doesn't make you a dinosaur... you just make the mistake of trying to treat computerized RPGs are pen and paper RPGs. They are not the same thing at all, but still fun, in a different way.
