Deus Ex: 10/10 points |
Best mix of RPG and FPS engine to date. A lot of the quests have dialog solutions, and you can even go through all the game without killing anyone! It's simply amazing, can't wait for the sequel. |
Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion: 8/10 points |
On my first day of playing the game, I would have given it a perfect 10/10 score. There are a few bugs, but the overall experience is more polished than Morrowind.
After a while, though, some annoying details started to emerge. First of all, the whole game scales with your level. That means that, no matter what you do or where you go, the enemies have similar skill and equipment to your character. Basically, it doesn't matter where you go, if you're low level, you're going to get awful equipment as loot. Inversely, when you get very high level, even random hobos are wearing daedric armor and powerful weapons.
The end result is that the sense of accomplishment that one found in Morrowind isn't there anymore. No more strategic kiting of a Daedra with a paralyzing dagger or flight spell to get an early piece of glass armor, etc. The game's difficulty is always scaled so that every encounter is relatively easy.
Also, since all the dialog is now spoken, there's a lot less of it. No more long conversations and background lore. I know most people didn't enjoy this part, but I for one certainly did. Now most of the npc interaction is down to a single spoken phrase or so, even for quests.
All in all, still a fun game, but the scaling system removed a big part of what made Morrowind fun for me. |
Fallout 2: 10/10 points |
This is my second most favorite RPG, after Planescape: Torment. Adult storyline and theme, finally a RPG that isn't made for little kids and takes itself seriously. |
Gothic: 9/10 points |
Not a flawless game, but I enjoyed it to the end. I hadn't played a game that could glue me in front of the monitor for over 8 hours in a long time. Large world, good settings, decent graphics... It's a very good RPG overall. |
Planescape: Torment: 10/10 points |
Best CRPG I've ever played. The best storyline ever for a role-playing game, tons of dialog with real choices... It's *the* CRPG. |
