Obviously this might be biased towards NWN since it is in that area, but I would like to hear from the people that liked it and hated it.
A little background:
I enjoyed the story of BG2 and played that one to death, but with set battles and hardly any randomness, its low replayability has forced it
onto my shelf until I forget enough to make it fun again. Usually played with autopause for a turnbased feel.
Diablo 2 is devoid of all story line, but the endless search for some uber weapon and online partying and PvP has had me playing it nonstop
until the recent rash of unpunished cheating made me lose all interest. The clickfest that is battles also wore a little thin.
So essentially, I need to know whats the best RPG to get out there right now with several questions to be answered:
1) Do battles turn into mindless clickfests, how much strat is involved?
2) Whats randomness factor? Monsters always in same spot? Is it possible to get a good item dropped from crap monster, or must buy or do
quests for good items?
3) Do I need to know people with the game to enjoy online games? Once my D2 buddies quit playing, favours were few and far between.
4) Can you play same chars in multi that you played in single game?
5) Has cheating taken over the multi yet, and how will it be handled?
Any help will be appreciated, and the games should not be limited to the ones in the forum here, but any games out there.
Thx
