Well I hate to say it but I liked Nox... a bit
but I loved Icewindale.

Hoever there was a game I tried out sometime ago called Descent to undermountain, wow that stank

Ultima IX: Ascension was also claimed as a CRPG, but it wasn't: it was just an incredibly buggy first person action game. Marketing as a CRPG meant that Origin Systems got to p!ss off two groups of players instead of one, which was truly brilliant. :rolleyes:

wizards & warriors: gave up on it due to the MASSICE frustration w/interface. TOO hard to even get started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should also mention Rage Of Mages 2 it stank worse than and Turkish Goatcheese on a hot summerday

Well like Jorath, I actually liked Nox, and Icewind Dale is good so far (I just started it though). The worst RPG (or so called RPG) game that I've played is probably Darkstone. First of all, I can't stand 3D games, especially when they are so poorly done. I would much rather be looking down at a blob of pixels from my 3rd person isometric perspective (where I can still use my imagination) than staring at a crude polygonal object with one shade of coloring that is supposed to be my character. That being said, Darkstone was a sorry attempt to clone the essence of Diablo 1--which is not exactly an easy feat seeing how not even D2 could accomplish that. Darkstone was like Diablo with bad 3D graphics, a shoddy combat system, and a horrible interface. I admit that Nox was more than a little corny, but it was fun. The interface system was outstanding, the graphics were nice and smooth. You could interact with the environment by moving and breaking things and putting out fires. You could run and jump, which lent itself to some interesting combat. Speaking of which, I think many people here have misconceptions about what a RPG game really is. Just because a game's combat system is not turn based or D&D compatible does not automatically make that an action arcade hack & slash game. You do just as much fighting in Baldur's Gate as you do in Nox, it's just a different style of fighting. Nox is every bit an RPG, but because it's story line is corny and it's combat is real time, it gets labled a Diablo clone action game when in fact it has nothing to do with Diablo and is actually more of a story driven game than a lot of RPG's out there.

*gets off soap box*

To sum up... Darkstone = poorly done piece of rubbish trying to make a buck off Diablo's unexplained success

I disagree with everything you said about Darkstone, Darkman.

IMHO it's a totally addictive, simple yet immersive triumph :D

Guess it's different strokes for different folks, huh?? [img]graemlins/crazyeyes.gif[/img]

Fallout (a time limit? geez!!)
Dink smallwood (FUN!!! but the fighting NAAH!!)

Ultima IX is the first RPG that I didn't finish... so buggy that I just couldn't get through it... it was also a big letdown after the excellence of the early Ultima games.

I liked NOX, not as good as Diablo II but better than Diablo IMO.

Pool of Radiance 2 is the worst RPG I've played (I wouldn't consider Ultima IX an rpg at all)

Wheel of time......

Was that a RPG ?

Loved the books and then I bought this "so full of crap" game

Wasn't even worth those 9,99$

I may get hammered for this one but any Might and Magic after the 3rd. I mean how many quest can you have going at the same time before you start taking a basball bat too the monitor. What was the MM6 with the werewolves in the cave Come' on already I went through therapy sessions and my hair fell out doing that one.
