First of all, welcome to Ironworks, Sayonaran Avon! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I tend to run the gamut in the type of games I play. I'm fond of both those that follow a storyline, and those with an action element. So I like both BG2 and IWD, both Wizardry and Dungeon Siege. My two criteria for game playing are:

1) it must be FUN,
2) it must be a simple-enough interface to not drive me up a wall.

There is a third subset now, which is actually part of 2: 3) it has to have enough ambient lighting so that a 38-year-old like myself can see the screen! Unlike elves, I do NOT have infravision and my eyes aren't what they used to be 20 years ago.

Other than that, I like pretty much anything. I do tend to steer clear of futuristic stuff, and I don't particularly like it when gaming companies combine sci-fi and fantasy elements together, but I can hang with that as well as long as the sci-fi doesn't overdominate the whole essence of the game.

Cheers,
-Sazerac
