Did I say they are not? I just said that I dont see any reason to credit Bioware for RPG goodness that users provide for others for free. Aside from their work with the engine that is. Like I said, great game, not that great RPG.

And, NWN is awesome. Period. Undisputable fact.
R00fles! Just goes to show there are retards everywhere on the internet!

This one has been on the internet for a very long time. However, like a mad scientist, he occasionally comes out with some excellent things, not unlike a dice roll really.

As for the best game, it is too early for that. I need to finish all the games I am going to play this year (few as they are) before voting.

We have the same game. Heard anything about a patch or a solution of some kind to skip the tutorials every time you start over? It's kind of annoying.
Just play hardcore, man. Never start over.

for all you people voting for storm of zehir - how long is it?

the only rpg I bought since I started visiting the codex was morrowind. mostly because I had been through all the classics by that time. and I very quickly regretted it

I didn't vote for SOZ; but it is long. I'm nowhere near the end, and I've played for hours. of cours,e most of the play time is spent hacking up pussies on the world map.

R00fles!

Many fans of the BG series have been disappointed by NWN. This is a fact. BG2 has a more creative story and better combat [especially because of it being party based] than NWN. This is a fact, too. But NWN also has awesome mods and a good multiplayer system. This is a fact too.

NWN is awesome LOLOLOL is an opinion, not a fact, because "ITS AWESOME" is not objective, but entirely subjective. For something to be a fact, it has to be objective.

How can anyone vote for TW even they actually like it? The game didn't come out this year. An enhanced patch doesn't make it a new game worthy of the vote. if it did, NWN1 would eligible. Dumbasses.

First time I agree with Volourn. With the exception of NWN remark. No patch can fix SP campaign from NWN(not that they tried) and I dont count MP modules as a quality I look for in cRPGs.
I voted for it thinking it was the mandatory "kingcomrade" option. :oops:

Thank you for explaining the nuances of aesthetics, for I am now confident that Volourn has gained a better understanding of this matter as well, and will evaluate future artistic creations based on objective standards and non-biased reasoning... NOT!

Someone with over 10k posts on an internet forum calling another a geek makes my computer hurt.

King's Bounty is the best on that list. That is an undisputable fact. Tits.

With the wisdom obtained from the infinite time of lurking these forums, I must say that Volourn is probably just fucking with us.

No-one (at least no-one who knows how to use a computer) can be that dump.

GoG released an enhanced Fallout 1 & 2, and sold it this year. Where's the options for them?

No, they didn't.
