Things that piss you off on RPGs.

Cookie-cutter art design and soundtracks.

Hey Volourn, NWN2 combat is better than NWN1 combat because you control multiple characters.

It's basically a jRPG, you control multiple characters.

But you can move them around, unlike Wizshitty.

I just find it strange when people complain that a RPG has too much combat, or should not have it, because ultimately, this is what the genre is.

I don't mind combat. Sure, it's fun. What bugs me is reading 100 lines of philosophical, spiritual mumbo-jumbo about how my very soul is in jeopardy and the very fabric of the multiverse is hinging on my character and then it's "okay, now hack this monster with your sword to save the world." I'm fine with hacking through hordes of goblins, but can't they mix it up a bit, especially for the bigger problems? Can't I resolve some of the major situations without combat?

Well they do put in another 100 lines of "story" to explain why hacking this monster will save the worl... I mean the multiverse.
