April 21, 200619 yr I can already tell you that Oblivion is better. You can create your own character in that. With playing more and more of Oblivion it just might unseat PS:T as my No. 2 spot for favorite CRPGs ever. Edited April 21, 200619 yr by Judge Hades
April 21, 200619 yr Yes, I'd much rather it had character creation and it's hard to judge how good the development system will be because it's...different.
April 21, 200619 yr If it is a CRPG then it needs to have the ability for the player to make a character he or she wants to play. Without it you kill some of the fun.
April 21, 200619 yr I agree. But if the other elements are good enough, it's the overall balance of the package that counts for me. Good character creation is definitely a good start, for sure.

With playing more and more of Oblivion it just might unseat PS:T as my No. 2 spot for favorite CRPGs ever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never thought you'd feel Oblivion is better than PS:T. Heck...by your definition alone, you consider Morrowind to be better than Planescape: Torment.
April 21, 200619 yr Wow, what's next? He'll think Diablo is the next wave in RPG goodness? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

April 21, 200619 yr That's more substance to me than mocked up RAI displays. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's probably more substance than the final Oblivion build.
April 21, 200619 yr If it is a CRPG then it needs to have the ability for the player to make a character he or she wants to play. Without it you kill some of the fun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Limiting the scope of available PCs is an acceptable measure for smaller developers: after all, how many people want to play as one-armed hunchback with Down Syndrome and a bad case of shingles? Most people are happy to adopt the main character, as they play games to be the hero(ine). Look at Deus Ex, for example. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
April 21, 200619 yr how many people want to play as one-armed hunchback with Down Syndrome and a bad case of shingles? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does he have laser eye beams? Then, many. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

April 21, 200619 yr If it is a CRPG then it needs actual writing that has a purpose. Without it you kill some of the fun. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
