IWD Demographics - as a matter of interest - if you are interested

[kartetse]

I'm just interested to know what the common dinominating factors are for people playing IWD. I'm not interested in names an' all that of course. What's the point of a 'nick' then!

But what about age, for instance?

I'm 33, married with 2 kids (don't snicker now young 'uns!)

I've got a gut feel that there might just be a more mature set of characters enjoying the frills and spills of IWD?

how about also writing your sex, since most nicks are neutral you often cant make out.

I'm male, and don't mind saying it, but I'm not sure how the moderators will feel about it, y'know, how the Internet gets labeled for how people misuse it and all...maybe I'm just overcautious?

34, 4 boys.

As an early teenager, I was mildly into Dungeons & Dragons- I played with a couple of friends occasionally, but no all-nighters or anything. The games were OK, but not great; probably a result of a crummy dungeon master or my lack of imagination or both. I love being able to play the same kind of game, actually see it, and play it at my convenience, picking up right where I left off.

Great idea, kartetse!

Well... If old = mature, then me thinks I'm leading the pack, so far: M, 43, Electrical/Systems Engineer, married, one girl (10) and a boy (8).

I have been fascinated with computer games ever since I got access to a mainframe via a 300 baud remote link to my school district headquarter's teletype terminal, back in 1976. (I got all the time I wanted; because no one else knew how to run it!) I got my first PC in '84 (an Apple 2e, 1Mz [IIRC], green screen, 256K RAM, one 5-1/4" floppy, no hard drive, and 300/1200 baud modem, for a bit over $3,300). This was in the days before the web, when only BBSs existed, and the better BBS admins boasted servers with 5MB hard drives and 1.2Kb/s connections, all over the phone lines, of course. First commercial game I remember playing on my screaming new machine: The original "Wizardry."

NobleNick,
That Apple 2e has to be the most old skool computer ive ever heard of!! And for $3,300!? Bargain!! [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]

Im Male, 21 years old, got into all things fantasy very young - used to play board games like Heroquest, Advanced Heroquest and Talisman, aswell as collect lead miniatures etc. etc.

I was hooked on Baldurs Gate when I first began playing it, and I now have all the games using the same engine (BG+TotSC, BG2+ToB, IWD+HoW, IWD2). I havent actually played them all yet, but this is a good thing as there are still many hours of gameplay left for me!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I'm familiar with D&D, having played offline before computer games, but used to be a fan of Diablo before a fellow Diablo player introduced me to Baldur's Gate. Then came BG2, IWD, and now IWD2.
