Betrayal at Krondor: 9/10 points |
There was a time when RPGs where commanded by classic Dungeon & Dragons themes. But one of them managed to set aside and deliver a world that felt both alive and magical, yet old and decadent. It had it all: strong story -politic included-, characters for whom you would really care, a battle system where the ground and strategic position matter, a beatiful and well thought interface, lot of terrain to cover, some of them with an "eerie" feeling, a great musical theme and even mini-games, like the riddles to open chests scattered around the world. Sadly enough, the game suffered of poor sells and hence, never reached the 'mainstream' RPGers. If you can stomach the now updated graphics, give it a try. |
Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind: 9/10 points |
So near, and yet so far from perfection, that's the only way I could describe "The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind". Or perhaps not - You see, I could talk about the exquisitely detailed word that was not shamed to portray both barren and exuberant landscapes, with all those small settlements and their unique architecture, or the detailed stories and lore described through books, the emblematic musical score, or the ambiguities in the main story (were you the true hero? or a mere pawn? Did you actually saved the Ashlanders, or doomed them to pledge to a "progresive" government, in the ways of the Empire?).. I could refer to all of this; but then, I would have to mention all the bugs that plagued the game, the hardships to role-play a pure Mage, or the conflicts raised when using the mods.

Well, I can only say that Morrowind has been one of the very few games that actually made me feel a nudge in the throat, when opened the hatch of the prision boat and exited to the world for the first time. So much freedom, so much of all. So near, yet so far. |
