I'll be happy if it's apocalyptically good.

Technically Fallout and Wasteland are POST-Apocalyptic. Instead of doing that vein of CRPG a true Apocalyptic game would be cool. You can be a character experiencing the apocalypse as it happens and the point is that you and a few stragglers are trying to find ways of surviving it. It oculd be the basis of a good trilogy. The first game leads to the apocalypse, the second is the apocalypse, with the third is the post apocalypse which your character now finds him or herself in.

Apocalyptic can also mean just a looming sense of foreboding and the feeling of all deteriorating and going to hell.

 

Or the exact opposite. For example, Alpha Centauri was pretty apocalyptic, finding a new purpose for teh human race, attaining new being and perhaps even godhood.

You mean like Half-Life. :)

HL2 is an excellent example. The world hasn't gone to hell yet, but will pretty soon do.

Kind of like the Half-Lives but in a CRPG.

I read a book recently called Swan Song. It started out showing brief glimpses into the lives of the main characters, then, nuclear apocalypse. It then showed the initial struggle of these main characters to survive in this new world, with some of the remnants of government or various organizations trying to help the survivors and such, and new organizations rising up. Then it skips ahead a few years to show the results of all that and to eventually reach the climax and the hope for the future. It was a pretty good book. Death was one of the main characters.

The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

How did that work out, Oerwinde? Personification is either hit or miss, and worked out pretty well in The Stand. :cool:

His first introduction was sitting in a theatre watching Faces of Death and laughing his ass off going "Hey, there I am, oh, I'm there too!"

 

Then he killed a priest and took over his body and stabbed people with his cross. He was super evil.
