Wizard Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I wish they made more D&D games outside the Forgetten Realms campaign. There was only one Planescape and I can't recall any Ravenloft ones. I'm suprised I even remember Ravenloft, we played that on pen and paper only a few times. I haven't played Dark Alliance. Outside of seeing a few screenshots it doesn't look that great, looks like another mass market appealing game.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Wasn't something called Blood Riddence or something similar along those lines based on Ravenloft?
Aoshi Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Both because the west invented it, the east re-invented itboth have intruiging styles, and they should not be compared which one is better or not, its like comparing if 2d fighters are better than 3d fighters

That's valid, even in the context of a comparison. You have to consider the "they don't compare" response. Unless he's actually trying to get us to stop the conversation, in which case we can string the fascist up.

Agozer Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 *gets the ropeWe need to find a tree or something to string him up to. Seriously folks, we're derailing from the subject again.
Lucandrake Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Dark allience was great, of course only with friends playing with you in a coop, other then that, it blows....

OverlordMondo Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 Back to Agozer's question, I'd recommend Neverwinter Nights and it's expansions. Beautiful translation of DnD from paper to PC. Baldur's Gate I haven't played yet. And Morrowind is fun, but just doesn't quite cut it for me. The whole thing just feels odd compared to most RPGs. And FF9 still blows, because I didn't enjoy playing it overall. hot & Cold probobly had a lot to do with that though. :\ If you don't know what it is, it's getting on a chocobo and running around an oddly shaped area for 30 seconds pecking at the ground and hoping you hit something. If you don't hit something you'll get a message saying how far away you are. It can be nearly impossible to hit the sweet spot for finding the items that don't blow, and it takes forever for the rare items to spawn anyway. I literally spent days playing this lame mini-game, just because I had nothing else to do at the time. I have yet to actually complete it. Back on the topic of Neverwinter Nights. Can someone lend me their CD Keys? It sounds odd, but I just bought Hordes of the Underdark and I want to play it, unfortunately my NWN Gold manual has gone missing, so I can't reinstall it to play Hordes of the Underdark. If there are any other solutions, let me know.

Gryph Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 I wish they made more D&D games outside the Forgetten Realms campaign. There was only one Planescape and I can't recall any Ravenloft ones.

I actually have not heard of that game. Is that one of those old ones released by SSI or is it recent? If it's SSI then I probably missed out on it since there were quite a few. Ok i cooled off now and apologize for any inconvenienceWhat i think is the two should merge styles an make the ultimate rpgthink fable and otogi<{POST_SNAPBACK}>How was Fable? People who share my taste in games in other forums say it blows and just boils down to a linear hack n' slash. I haven't had an opportunity to play for more than 10 minutes, so to those who have played it, how about a nice short description of gameplay.

It was just a decent hack and slash rpg. the freedom aspect was way overhyped. You could do anything you wanted to, as long as the game told you to. I still dont get where the hate for eastern style rpgs come from. Ive heard a lot of "x sucks" but never any real reasons why. But definitely neverwinter nights. aeribeth was such a memorable character.
