Is there some kind of inference to be made about role playing games and not getting out alot?
Perhaps your favourite RPG was also the RPG which took the most time to finish, therefore required more average time inside than normal?
The virtual depth of completion within the simulation world that was Ultima 7 for instance, probably took the longest its taken me to solve (a two years on and off) out of any Ultima I'd played. It is also one of my prime RPG favourites in all time masterpieces of true digital art...
Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate
Ultima VII: The Black Gate
Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar
Curse of the Azure Bonds
Champions of Krynn
Ultima Underworld 2
Baldur's Gate I
Just to name a couple....just what is it about this genre that has obsesses us so?
