CRPG Question

Dreamer128 · 11-13-2002, 12:49 PM

X-mas time is coming, and so are nearly half a dozen games I've been looking forward to. And since I'm no millionaire, I'll have to pick. Right now, I have Icewind DaleII, Arx Fatalis, Lord of the Rings(PC)and Divine Divinity on my list. Now, before I buy anything, I'd like some opinions on those titles I. Has anyone tried them yet?

Divine Divinity is VERY good. [img]smile.gif[/img] 5 stars.

Icewind Dale II...also very good. 5 stars.

Don't know about Arx Fatalis or LoTR, but I've heard good things about them.

Tough choice! Best of luck.

I've heard some less than flattering comments about LotR.

Haven't played Divine Divinity. Ars Fatalis looks interesting but don't have enough info to rate it.

I love Icewind Dale 2. Agree completely with the 5 stars that Saz gave it.

Neverwinter Nights is definitely worth considering if you don't already have it.

If I was to get any of those Arx Fatalis and DD were the only ones. Got other games than those on my list which are more important. Like Master of Orion 3.

Unless you plan to multiplay Neverwinter Nights, I'd say give it a miss. It sucks completely as a single player game. I forced myself to complete it even though I was totally bored with it, and then promptly deleted it from my system. If ever I find anyone who is hot out to get it, I'd be glad to give it to them.

Not that I'm against multiplayer, now, mind you...I play multiplayer with two different groups. I'm just saying that NwN does not stand up well as an SPG.

Already have NWN

And it is indeed a pearl in MP.
I understand no one played Arx Fatalis or LOTR yet?

You should get the demo of Arx Fatalis then, I have it and its very very good, if you like Morrowind the you'll like Arx Fatalis.
Its better than Morrowind but not quite as good as IWD2, and as for LOTR....... I dont even wanna talk about it, lets just say give it a miss! and if your still intrigued by LOTR's then download the demo and give it a try for yourself.
Go on! I dare ya!

I´m playing Arx at the moment and I´ve already fallen in love with it! That´s of course only my opinion. Try the demo but I think you´re going to like it [img]smile.gif[/img]

I vote for NWN even if you don't like the "included" mission or muli-player. There are well over a thousand to download, and you can even create your own.

OOH-OOH! I want your copy Saz! I can't talk my uncle into buying it. He wants it but can't seem to bring himself to spend $45(cheapskate!).

If the price is right, I'll bet he'd do it, so e-mail me.
