I think they do fill a niche as an augmentation or filler for when PnP isn't doable.My little Top 10 CRPG of All Time list:1) Final Fantasy VI: Love this one with all my heart and soul. Suspect I would be a broken shell of a man had I never encountered this game. All aspects of life since are coloured by this encounter.Okaaaaay, so that sounds corney, but this game will hold a special place in my heart for all time. 2) Deus Ex: Very cool... great for a fan of Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, Rifts... Yeah, it's an action/RPG hybrid in that it's a first person game and you get to aim the gun yourself and stuff, but it's so much more too. Gimmie a Dragon's Tooth, a wrist-crossbow with poison darts, a taser, enough lockpicks and multitools, and a couple of the right nano-augs, and I'll rule the world...3) System Shock 2: Another good one for fans of Cyberpunk type games... also downright creepy. Psionics, Cybernetics, Lasers, Zombies, Hacking, Psionic Mutant Monkies of Doom, a haunted computer with multiple personalities, a great storyline and good gameplay... this game is a blast.4) Daggerfall: Yeah, it's buggy. Yeah, it's old. But my word is this game huge. Cities that actualy fell big enough to be a city (Something most CRPGs don't have, I regret), hundreds of cities and towns, hundreds of dungeons, and absolutely no need to follow a plot whatsoever! Be a hero of millions, a traveling merchant-prince, a mage-smith, a grand archmage, a theif, an assassin, a werewolf or a vampire... you name it.5) Baldurs Gate II & Expansion pack: Ok... not quite as good a storyline as Planescape maybe, but IMHO, it's a lot of fun in it's own right.6) Morrowind: Not quite as freeform as Daggerfall, but it comes close... Not near as large in scope though, sadly. But the ability to edit it to your hearts content helps! Also not as old and buggy as Daggerfall.7) Anarchy Online: The best of the "current gen" of CRPSs... a year or so ago I would have had Everquest in this spot, but IMHO, Everquest hasn't kept up with the emerging games very well. Also highly recomended for a fan of the Cyberpunk genre.8) Neverwinter Nights: Ok, this game has gotten a bad rap. It's a bit undeserved IMHO. People were expecting this game to be the next best thing to sliced bread or something, but it's only a computer game. Yes, I have a few problems with it too... BUT, overall, I think it's done very well for what it is. 9) Ultima: Black Isles (I think I got the right one...). A good game, if a bit dated. This is a good clasic none-the-less.10) Dark Age of Camelot: IMHO, the best of the current fantasy MMORPGs... though both Horizons and Shadowbane have a chance of unseating this one.</blockquote>
