"Fetch me a healthy portion of gravy and you will be hansomely rewarded!"



There's a comment from one NPC in Tribunal when giving out Fedex task, like "...I know, but please don't hate us..." (paraphrased). I take it as response from Bethesda...

They actually have a few points there

And that part about silly quests to increase "gameplay" is true in many many many games..

"Hello, my name is Kevin Bowen, a level 12 Nose Goblin. I be have a +2 grammar skills (ooops, make that +1) and a -2 intelligence. My constitution is about +5 and I drank a potion to make my strength +4. I also have a +7 lock pick skill, a +4 microwaving food skill, and since I'm a Paladin I have enchanted my shoes with Velcro straps so I never need to tie any laces. Oh no, my Mana is low I better take a nap on this burlap sack full of gems before I sell it to the merchant, who for some reason keeps buying all these worthless gems from everybody even though he probably has a stockpile of twenty million of them squirreled away in the back room."

Yeah I know that I didn't have to take it seriously but those points I've mentioned 8 and 5 are not true.

Eh, Why? I noticed that at Gamespy's RPG Game of the Year voting thread, most people voting for NWN or MW, but barely anyone vote for Gothic, except a poster by the name of hoyd...

Anyway, i bet NWN would wins...

No I think that Morrowind is way better than NWN. Hopes MW wins.
