i guess i just wanted to voice this misconception i had before i started playing rpg's.

ONce upon a time i was (i still am but over everything else) a first person shooter kinda guy....off chance on day i was on holiday a year or 3 (maybe 4) back and i wanted a shiny new game for my comp...so i hunted for the usual only to realise that i couldnt find anything of interest..the i spyed a game hidden towards the back a game named Baldur's Gate.

BALDUR'S GATE !?!?!?! said i . what could this foreign game be???
i read the box and was enticed by the class descriptions the decription of the gameplay and the pretty pictures. however my grumbling began at the mention of dungeons and dragons... well as quite the ignorant young sod that i was i was all like...DUNGEON AND DRAGONS>> AGHAST THATS REALLY LAME..... which although i knew little about i had only vague memories of my older bro cheating me outof victory in D&D aswell as much ass wuppin on my acccount on the feild of warhammer..... i dont play those now and didnt when i bought Bgate...but ithough hmmm itll be crap but hey ill risk it ...and it turned out to be a wise decisions...soo.....by now your thinking (if youve been bothered to read this far in my little flashback) Whats his point ...well as simply put as possible if id stuck to a judgemental attitude ten i would have missed out on mucho fun thankfully i dint and now im better off in lif ..thanks guys ye have been great...
