You guys all know what a huge troll I am, so there's no real point for me to kick up any fuzz around here. And the people who were stupid enough to fall for it anyway are long gone *remembers 2004* aaaaah, good times.. like when that guy seriously called Enderwiggin "an honourless dog"

Who the hell bought the 360 version of FNV anyways? Ive never heard of anyone

You guys obviously are not using Bethesda-logic when making this kind of argument. Just because they did FO3 doesnt mean they will use the lessons they learned from that in Skyrim, they will probably just go crazy with minigames and awful mechanics again. And it will be ugly like nothing you've seen before. For instance, FO3 had the exact same horrible animation that Oblivion did.

Yeah. And it's only honest if it's negative whiny BS, of course. I mean, woe those who actually enjoy the Elder Scrolls series. Bunch of liars, all of them! There are people who enjoy cross-species erotica, too. That does not make it a socially accepted pastime.

Now THAT is a game I would preorder.

I think BioWare should adopt a new bussiness practice with Dragon Age. If you DONT pay us, we'll keep releasing boring fantasy drivel instead of anything that would actually be interesting.

I didn't realize Bethesda developed FO:NV. They totally did all of it. That big Obsidian logo that pops up when you start the game is just for the company who supplied the coffee. In fact, Todd Howard pretty much made all of it himself over the weekend because he is the greatest game designer that ever lived.

ABout the only thing that can make Oblivion interesting, sadly. FO3 was such a giant step forward for Bethie's rpg development team, and it's the main thing that gives me any sense of hope for Skyrim. But I'm still concerned, justfiably, I think, that Skyrim is going to be more Oblivion and less FO3. Not that FO3 was a perfect game, but it was SO much better in SO many ways. One thing that speaks against progress in Skyrim is that Bethesda supposedly formed a new dev team for FO3 with lots of people brought in. While Skyrim will be designed and developed by the old school core group of people behind the other TES games. So Im expecting awkward and idiotic game design, inane story and a large world filled with meaningless generic dungeons and hidden treasure chests.

Im hoping for full voice-over AND Witcher-like romance with collectible "I totally did it with this NPC" achievements. HAH!

Same way as every other CRPG, by providing multiple options in dialogues and multiple ways to solve missions. Granted, it's usually just two alternatives that at times give the exact same result. But compared to Oblivion, your PC is a real person that talks and acts instead of just being a blank slate that never talks and isnt even shown during dialogues.

The Oblivion way is terrible because its strips your PC completely of his/her personality. You're basicly playing a mute potato with a sword. The morrowikipedia dialogue way is even more horrible because it ruins the NPC's aswell. The BioWare way lets you roleplay and get a feel for your PC's identity, while not forcing you to sit through your own dialogue twice; when you read it in the options and when your character says it. It's much more fun when you can chose a reply knowing what your PC is going to say but not exactly how its phrased and worded.

Me and my friends decided to go for "Divine Divinity 2 - the dragon something or other" and its really good for a GRPG. Maybe thats the Belgian aspect to it, they're not as stubborn and weird like the jerries.

What? Oblivion just had these simple lines for the PC where you just said "sword!!!" or "John Smith!!!" like some kind of vocabularily handicapped retard. Nothing like the dialogue wheel of BioWare. or do you mean a dialogue system that doesnt give away your exact reply word-by-word, instead giving shortened options like "havent seen it."

British people are british, not european. Just like we scandinavians are scandinavians and not europeans. But since we're all members of the EU and so on, sometimes we say we are euros.

Here we just tend to divide it into europe and eastern europe, where the latter is any country that was part of the warzaw pact. And no, we dont count russia/belarus/ukraine to be a part of any Europe

I can totally refudiate that.

Well, to be honest. I named this topic like this because "german and eastern-european RPGs.." didnt fit in the title. And not everyone knows what is defined as a GRPG.

If you spent time behind the iron curtain, you're in eastern europe. Thats the rule.

What used to be the GDR is in eastern europe. Belgium obviously isnt, but those boys have clearly made a GRPG

A German RPG or "GRPG" is a genre, it can be made anywhere in the world. Although virtually all of them originate from the germanic regions.

I tried one Drakensang game and it was competely pointless. It didnt have a story or anything as far as I could tell, you just ****ed about with your party of idiots and killed stuff. I did play Risen, though. It was sort of atmospheric.

Maybe they would, if the game wasn't mainly succesful because it's riding on the success of FO3. Obviously, you dont know Bethesda. Their entire schtick is that they NEVER learn. They have been remaking Elder Scrolls: Arena ever since the company started and thats what they're going to continue to do. Generic fantasy drivel with mediocre gameplay in a large sandboxlike world full of largely pointless stuff like generic dungeons or treasure chests under pinetrees. FNV was successful on its own. I know plenty of people who bought FNV without having touched Fallout 3.

Lately Ive been quite bored and in the mood to subject myself to a game so I have something to complain about. Ive been looking at this years Gerry RPG's and think I should try to play one of them, but I cant decide which one. If I was a brave man, Id play the one that looked the most awful, but im not. So Im looking for advice from you sick bastards who actually honestly enjoy these games. Which of the current crop is the most playable for a normal human being who enjoys fun gameplay and an interesting story? I actually liked The Witcher, if that's anything to go by. It had that weird warzaw-pact oddness about it that was very refreshing.

Liked Arena and Daggerfall at the time, hated Morrowind but played Oblivion for a while until I got bored with the inane story, generic caves, menial quests and general rubbishness of the game. I wish we never had to see another Elder Scrolls game ever again. p.s and the whole dragon thing was boring ten years ago, to make yet another dragonsexual RPG is borderline criminal.

I watched the first episode and I dont like it. It's just too dumb and cheaply generic Not for me either. Sappy ****ing sentimental crap forced in there to appease women viewers. Not to mention that it doesnt make any sense to
