I liek when C.R.O.N.Y. U4 turns his lights on behind me when we’re exploring dark ruins. It is for this reason I have to award ELEX the LEGITIMATE MASTERPIECE status.

I seriously doubt it.
To make a masterpiece, you need skills and imagination, nobody with enough imagination would settle for that shit so it'll never happen.
She's talking about Jagged Alliance 2 (if you turn off the bugs).

A cRPG masterpiece should be a perfect mix of mechanism, character creation, combat, good enough UI, OST, sound effects, quest design, NPC design but also settings and story.

The underlined are nice bonus', but irrelevant in the big picture.

And I'd say the "perfect mix" true in a sense, but it's also something that's different for almost every game based on their intended experiences.

Gothic 1 - Best implementation of 3 faction system. Much better than G2. You have SECT game(chaotic), NEW camp(neutral) and OLD gamp(lawful), and most quests to join the camps make you explore the camp philosophies and explore more the world. I loved to play as a templar and as a magician. G2, i din't liked much the monastery quests, felt like bussywork, nor found the paladin interesting like the templar from G1...

How many cRPG with terrible sound effects have you played ? Would you rate them as marterpieces ?

Of course not, because a terrible sound environment will just break the immersion at first and get on your nerves real quick, turning the sound off just makes the whole experience bland.
