[QUOTE="keterys, post: 7660355, member: 43019"] I really don't know the relevant bits of lore. I can say that I wish there was a gold box equivalent for D&D 4E, and that it was a shame that not a single computer game came out for that edition while the edition was alive. At least if it was going to be derided for imitating CRPGs, there could have been any at all to compare to :) It does sound like I should check out Mask of the Betrayer. Thanks, I'll do that. I enjoyed the hell out of the gold box games back in the day, and Planescape Torment, but I really wasn't that impressed by many other options that have been popular, like Neverwinter Nights or Temple of Elemental Evil. NwN did have a lot more going for it after the community had a lot of time for it, but I just didn't find the gameplay itself very compelling. ToEE just had too many bugs (many of which were fixed much later), though did feel more like I was playing a good D&D game. I'll admit, I have hit a point where I've realized that too many of these CRPGs involve waves of "delve and fight stuff non-stop for a couple hours" followed by "explore every inch of town to get all the stuff and talk to 100 NPCs for a couple hours" and I kinda tap out on one or the other at some point. Apparently I need more varied pacing / don't have the patience of youth anymore. [/QUOTE]
