i loved darklands, most reviewers thought there was no plot but thats cos they never played it through, you need to go a year in game time before you get near the main plot but its worth it, totally immersive game just had too many bugs and crashed on me all the time at crucial points so least games these days when released are stabler and bugfixes you can download so in that respect recent games are better, as for plots and storylines, its a bit hard to be original these days esp with the resources on the internet, its all been done before, all thats left now is to do more of it, look at morrowind, thats a superb game and no text based adventure game comes close, though i loved them at the time. The new games are better than the old but theres still some old ones that i'll play because they can still cut it (darklands has terrible graphics but the gameplay is so good )
