  1. Two worlds impressions

    Don't be an idiot. A good RPG allows what you call LARPing. LARPing can exist alongside an involved character development system. I did the same thing I do with my TES characters with my parties in the Might and Magic series, I create extra motivations beyond what the game provides to flesh out...

  2. What can Bethesda realistically do to make FO3 not suck?

    I don't blame Todd Howard, or Kathode for that matter. Even Pete's just their marketing guy, and that makes him a yes man. The people who are to blame are the owners of Zenimax. They're the ones who brought focus groups into this thing. Just look at what they did before they reinvented their...

  3. Two worlds impressions

    Okay guys, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll go ahead and get the bundle for Gothic 2 Gold and Gothic 3 from Amazon when I get paid this week. It's only $27.96. Then, I'll give Gothic 2 a chance and Gothic 3 a try. Perhaps I should find Gothic a try too? Guess what, proof that the original game...

  4. FIFE - a cross platform isometric game engine

    While any open source or fan effort is good, I really do not enjoy isometric. I really prefer first person exploration CRPGs, whether they are party based like World of Xeen through Might and Magic VIII, or single character like Arena, Daggerfall and Morrowind. 3D and physics has led to the...

  5. What can Bethesda realistically do to make FO3 not suck?

    I admit, I never played Fallout or Fallout 2, though I did play Wasteland on the C64. I've also missed Deus Ex and System Shock, so I guess I'm not the target audience for Fallout 3 as I prefer sword and sorcery to post apocalyptic. I do enjoy space opera, which is why I enjoy Star Wars movies...

  6. Two worlds impressions

    I never said Oblivion was great. It was basically Battlespire 2 with a bit of Morrowind thrown in. They totally ignored what made Daggerfall great. I said Oblivion was a good game compared to Two Worlds and anyone who says that Oblivion is shit but Two Worlds is good really misses the point. A...

  7. Two worlds impressions

    Re: .... The difference is the way I roleplay them. The Juggling Mage always joins the Thieves Guild and the Mage Guild. He starts out dodgy and becomes a bit more religious as time goes by, usually joining the cult of Zenithar in Daggerfall, or the Temple in Morrowind (because he wants to...

  8. Two worlds impressions

    Re: .... I only have experience with Gothic 2 in comparison to Morrowind, but I did not see a huge world where the dungeons were significantly further from the cities than they were in Morrowind. With the graphics improvements of Gothic 3, I'd guess the world wasn't much different in size...

  9. Two worlds impressions

    Here's my brief (before heading out the door for work) views on the style of roleplaying in Oblivion vs. other games. I do like more complicated stat and weapons systems than Oblivion's mainstreamed truncation of The Elder Scrolls, but some of the European CRPGs are quite limited in the...

  10. Two worlds impressions

    The voice acting in Oblivion isn't that bad, but it's repetitious. I'd had hopes that Shivering Isles wasn't repetitious, but until they get the bug fixed, and I get another Oblivion DVD, I won't have my own opinion. Perhaps they didn't spend enough time for the Shivering Isles giving the...

  11. The Arcanum Poll

    Which Asimov story had the vegetarians competing with humans? If I were to design a game with an elven society that wasn't Tolkien high fantasy, I'd base it upon the elves in Poul Anderson's "The Broken Sword". I have got to get the new complete release. I think I read the truncated version in...

  12. Two worlds impressions

    Okay, my wife just told me this yesterday and I just checked it out on the Two Worlds forums, but it sets a record for bugs that makes Bethesda's 200 hour Oblivion bug and 50 hour Shivering Isles bug seem tame. She had mentioned earlier that someone reported finishing the single player game in...

  13. The Arcanum Poll

    I'm not from here, I've just been stuck here for 27 years. I still consider myself as being from the East Coast, though I really love northern California and would retire there if I can afford it. As for the first part. Girls are way too cool. I've preferred them since I got a crush on Penny...

  14. 1 room rpg?

    Forget Alien and Dune. I want an RPG set on a Generation Ship. Perhaps with a setting based on "The Ballad of Beta Two". I still remember "one came to the city, over sands with her bright hair wild, with her eyes coal black and her feat soul sore and under her arms a green eyed child". I...

  15. Two Worlds

    No, I don't. I do deny the idiots who get so worked up over it that they can't live their lives normally in the here and now. Face it, humans can do quite evil things, and then they love to forget the evil things. I'm for humanity not doing the evil things and remembering just enough to say...
