Spill your blasphemous opinions on CRPGs here

[Mr. Magniloquent]

• For whatever reason, I enjoyed Fallout 3 more than Fallout:NV, overall.
• I thought Mass Effect 2 had the best story-telling of the series.
• I felt Mass Effect 3 had the best combat/abilities of the series.
• I couldn't get invested in Fallout 2 and ended up quitting early on.
• I don't like it when games ego-stroke.
• I often relapse into "muchkin-hood" and "save-scummery"
• Many "classic" genre defining games that I never got around to playing as as a youth are difficult to enjoy because of the dated graphics.
• Temple of Elemental Evil had the most efficient and superior user interface of any cRPG I've ever played.
• I thought Grobnar Gnomehands was both the best NPC of NWN 2 and was genuinely amusing.
• I will sometimes differ to playing a familiar game I have mastered every aspect of and offers no challenge or new experiences over a game I both own and have been meaning to play.

That's enough for now.

I'm astounded at this.

I didn't mind Grobnar. In between Elanee and Sandra and co.? Ha, he was one of the lesser offenders.

These sentiments I share, though bad graphics aren't the deal killer for me. Horrid interfaces are. Like X-COM: Enemy Unknown.

I just started a new thread, as this draws to a close, and expanded it, so now it includes the option of dropping heretic opinions on RPG systems and mechanics as well. Have fun!

This is the first time in this thread that I was legitimately offended. This is coming from someone with triple-digit playtime in F3 and the Tale of Two Wastelands mod for NV.

 

The NV game balance is just inexorably superior. Even without F3's superior environment/atmosphere/level design it's just more fun to engage in combat in NV (which is the heart of the game.)

It's a Bethesda game, the objective is always going from point A to B. Which is made all the more enjoyable if there is something pretty to look at.

 

I like Fallout 3 better than NV even though I will admit to NV being the superior game.

I can't stand Fallout 3 myself. It just feels too....bland. Especially when compared to New Vegas.

[Tagaziel]

Same here. The absolute lack of any consistency or binding element in Fallout 3 reduces the world to a flip-through album of WOULDN'T IT BE COOL TO [insert_random_idea].
