Re: RPGs
Well, the subject of NPC schedules has been addressed a couple of times and I feel its a very valid issue, bring back the Ultima schedules!! Where NPCs would wander around, sit down to lunch, go to the pub for a pint and then kip it off at night.
Apparantly, though I've yet to play it, Gothic 2 has a really good NPC schedule system and there are plugins in the making that promise to add schedules to all the NPCs in Morrowind. |

Re: RPGs
I was very determined to be evil... to go to the "Dark Side", and do everything bad that I possibly could. However, sadly enough, I couldn't live with myself killing innocent little aliens... you might remember the part in KOTR in the Under City with the mutated monsters (I forget what they're called), and you have to go out and rescue the guy who isn't going to make it to the gates without your help... that was the final straw for me. I couldn't handle being evil anymore...

Re: RPGs
KotoR was fun. I was so evil. But i have been playing RPG's all my life on consoles. I only recently moved to pc and tabletop. And god, has anyone else noticed how much new video game RPG's suck! take FFX or X-2 and compare it to 3 or 5. Ther are crap. Then you have chrono trigger and tales of phantasia(never released in north america. the english rom is on the net though.)I even enjoyed some NES RPG's better than some of the new ones.
I need to find some good pc ones. all i have is BG2 and Diablo2. ugh. i am ashamed of myself. Istill think SNES was the best of RPG's. I never played an online ones, becasue I know if I start, I won't stop. :> And I would call Zelda more of an adventure game. whatever the first one was called..i can't recall... was the only good one(mind you i haven't played the ones on the gamecube)its kinda like the ff series. there were some good ones and the rest crapped out. |

Re: RPGs
Personally, I found the third Zelda to be the best of the bunch- Ocarina of Time I believe it was.

Re: RPGs
Ocarina seemed the best to me just because it really had a good story. The following ones didn't have much point, I thought. Link is just running around saving people for no reason. That's my take, anyway...

Re: RPGs
Has anyone played the Dying Earth RPG? I have read the book and am interested in how an RPG based on it would work - certainly, the magic system in the book seems very conducive to RPG-style adaption.
