My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
I'd put KOTOR2, NWN2, and New Vegas in the Banal, Shit, Boring category, leave SoZ in the worse than Oblivion category, and put both Mask of the Betrayer and Alpha Protocol (which I enjoyed despite its flaws) in the Good for What it Is category.

Storm of Zehir worse than Oblivion?

:retarded:

I mean everyones entitled to his opinion about AP (I loved it) but SOZ actually catered more to the Hardcore RPG Fan. Its not the games fault that it is in a shitty engine.

I would rather play any Obsidian Game than any post-Morrowind Bethesda and post-KOTOR Bioware games.

All Obsidian games are at least good for what they are (except SoZ, didn't play that so can't vouch for it).

Fallout: New Vegas should be a category higher, SOZ is merely mediocre, i.e. banal shit boring and Alpha Protocol, the worst Obsidian game yet, is where it belongs. Obsidian is not on the incline, as Dirackin's chart would suggest. They are inconsistent and the quality of their games is oscillating.

That might actually be true, I dunno it, but it's definitely a worst game.

Ripping my idea for puurrfect trolling and using it in such a shitty and miserable way... seriously, I am disappointed. You are a failure of humankind.

And tasteless. Tasteless way. You aren't subtle enough, you jump into X-TREME-SHEPHARD-RENEGADE right away.

Like it or not, Volly, but SoZ did many things right, things which should be expanded and not forgotten because LOL ITS NOT BIOWHORE OR GOTY SO WHO CARES
-overland map with skillchecks
-party dialogue
-tons of skill checks
-different dialogue if you worship the proper god, are of specific race, class and so on- even if sometimes it doesn't change anything it adds to this thing bethesda invented called "immersion".
