Cantousent Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Oh yeah, Temple of Apshai! I never finished it. :Cant's rueful smile icon: However, I did finish the original Adventure game if I'm not mistaken. I thought it was comedy that I could play the entire game of ZORK I on the computer in Call of Duty. fun times.

generic.hybridity Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 25 and favourite RPG was Planescape: Torment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmtuna Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 19 Morrowind. KotOR or Fable for second probably. I played Fallout 3 and dabbled in Fallout 1 and 2 before I got busy with college. I've heard a lot of great stuff about BG from an older friend of mine so I decided to fund it. Look s pretty damn good since I'm always interested in the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeckul Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) 25. First contact with the RPG genre was about 20 minutes of walking around in Candlekeep at a friend's house (I think I made a ranger). The first RPG I played seriously though was Darkstone and then Diablo 2. Having this memory of a fascinating lore-rich, complex RPG in my mind I eventually returned to Baldur's Gate, then 2 (which became my favorite game ever), then Icewind Dale 1 and 2. More recently I played NWN2:MotB. Sadly I haven't paid enough attention to PS:T yet. Edited September 24, 2012 by Zeckul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWestfall Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The first RPG I think I ever played was a port of Rogue on a Commodore-64, but what really got me hooked on the genre was Ultima 4 and 5. I have a hard time naming a favorite, may games have appeal for various reasons. NWN was probably the one I put the most time into, due to the fantastic modding community and expansions. Yeah, I'm old, now get off my lawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdeluxe Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I'm guessing most will be in their late 20s and on.

Nakia Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Over 2/3 rds are over 25 which makes sense. Haven't done a bean count but it looks as if there are a lot in their 30s which also seems reasonable to me. Would have been interesting to see how many are over 50 at least. I have but one enemy: myself - Drow saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlorn Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Oh, great! A poll that lumps everyone over 25 together. Really once you hit 26 it's all downhilll from there anyways. You just become an old, wrinkly, gross person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaineGB Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 31. Favourite RPG: Probably Fallout 2 or BG2... hard choice tbh. My first RPG that I ever remember was Bard's Tale 1 on the C64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlux Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) I am 32 My first RPG was Final Fantasy on the NES My first cRPG was Rouge on the Atari ST My first PC cRPG was Fallout (I still own the box ^^) My favorite RPG of all time is definitely the Baldur's Gate series. BG/BG2/ToB. Edited September 24, 2012 by dlux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Curze Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 20. Morrowind, FO 1 and 2, and Baldurs Gate to keep the list short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrimson Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Mid-40's. BG1, Kotor2, Fallout:NV, Might and Magic7. “Things are as they are.

Phekdra Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Off the scale. Lords of Midnight Now that was a good game! 38 (I think; I'm beginning to lose count). I think Icewind Dale was the first IE game I played but it rapidly spurred me to play the others, and PS:T was the one that sticks in my mind the most. Still playing through Planescape Torment...

Nepenthe Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) 31 I can't really name a favourite game, but when asked about it, the first thing that comes to mind is Baldur's Gate 2, followed quickly by Deus Ex. So for the purposes of this questionnaire, I'm sure that'll also do as the answer: Baldur's Gate 2, followed quickly by Deus Ex. To not go fully into the grognard territory, where I don't belong, I'm also going to pick out ME2 and DXHR as standouts from the last couple of years, possibly as top5, definitely top10 games.

FlintlockJazz Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) 31 coming up to 32. When did I get old enough to fall into the oldest age bracket in online forum polls...?

Ink Blot Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 48. I can't choose a favorite, but my list of RPGs I've liked would have a lot in common with Elerond's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaganPoetry Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I am 20, and my favorite RPG is the Baldur's Gate series (or more specifically, Baldur's Gate 2). It really changed my perspective not only on RPGs but on videogames in general. But I would have to add Morrowind as a very close second. I have also never played Planescape: Torment, so maybe I should get on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Machine Miyagi Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 32. Best RPG? Too tricky. Planescape: Torment - Favorite Storyline, a bit lacklustre combat wise Baldur's Gate 2 - Favorite RPG combat (at least when appropriately modded), storyline that too often felt like an afterthought next to killing things Fallout - Favorite atmosphere, first game too short, second game had too many atmosphere-killing breaks in the fourth wall for the sake of now badly dated jokes And so on. But since I value a good story above all, something so rarely seen, I guess PS:T wins.

metiman Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 42, PS:T. I can't believe the number of geezers here. I was expecting nearly everyone to be in their teens, but almost no one is or at least they are not admitting it. First cRPG love and first cRPG purchase: Ultima Underworld. First PnP module: (B2) Keep on the Borderlands. First adventure game: Zork. First computer game: Star Trek (SPACEWR) on a DEC PDP-11. First favorite games: Castle Wolfenstein, Archon, and Crush, Crumble, and Chomp. First computer: Atari 400 with 48kB RAM and a disk drive (I was too poor for an Apple II or TRS-80). Any geezers here from the Compuserve GAMER cRPG forum? It would be interesting if Mara or Isabelle L'Elf showed up here. JoshSawyer: Listening to feedback from the fans has helped us realize that people can be pretty polarized on what they want, even among a group of people ostensibly united by a love of the same games. For us, that means prioritizing options is important. If people don’t like a certain aspect of how skill checks are presented or how combat works, we should give them the ability to turn that off, resources permitting. . .

Lusankya Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 28 My favorite RPG is actually a Japanese one, Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (3 FES is very close) and I also love the old SNES RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6. Concerning Western RPGs, it's probably Knights of the Old Republic or Gothic 2. Planescape: Torment was also great, but I admit I never really liked or got into Baldur's Gate.

alphyna Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 22. I think my avatar says it all. Planescape: Torment.
