Re: OT - your fav games
To all who took the time to express their views of NWN and Morrowind in detail, thanks!
Karacan and Gandalf pretty much expressed most of what I dislike about Morrowind (though I do love the game). What should be added to what's been said is that Morrowind becomes a very tedious step-n-fetch after about character L10 or so, since by then you're pretty well guaranteed that any opponent you face you'll defeat. The game isn't balanced properly so that it remains a challenge and fun from beginning to end.
As for NWN, I agree with Tinkthank and Boron, despite Gandalf's valid point(s).

Re: OT - your fav games
TBS - Heroes of Might & Magic (2 & 3 specifically), Age of Wonders, Chessmaster, MOONBASE COMMANDER!! (and Dom 2 quickly moving up through the ranks)
RPG - Bladur's Gate 2
FPS - Don't really like FPS, though I enjoyed (and completed) Deus Ex. Question, what Category does Activision's Battlezone (1998) fit in - FPS, sim, or RTS? =)~ I LOVED that one.
RTS - Like em a lot, but I suck at em. WL:BC2
Sports - Toss up between EA's Madden and NCAA football.
4x - Alpha Centauri, Civ 3

It's a FPS, not a true sim, though the publisher may categorize it as a sim.

And Kel's, who happens to be of the same opinion as Gandalf, more or less.

According to gamefaqs.com:
Gothic released 23 Nov 01.
Morrowind released 01 May 02.
Gothic 2 released 13 Jun 03.
Gothic 3 is targetted for Dec 05.
EDIT: in my mind, I had the release dates for Gothic and Morrowind reversed, so I was thinking that Morrowind was nearly 3 years old, when it's only 2-1/4.

Re: OT - your fav games
Pardon me a minute while I break in with a message from our sponsors. (this seemed a good thread to mention it)
We need beta testers. Ground floor. Chance to get on the unofficial "list" of beta testers.
I only got a chance to glance at it but (I hope I dont insult the guy here) it reminds me of the old Empire game but with newer graphics. There is no AI yet but you can play yourself twice flipping back and forth, or multiplay Online with other beta-testers. Take a look. If you are interested and feel you can make suggestions that will bring the game forward (not blow the guy off of it) then send me a PM and I will open access to the beta forum.
(And if anyone else is working on a game, talk to me)
