[QUOTE="Tal Rasha, post: 3633756, member: 46213"] Of the reasonably many CRPGs I have played, I've enjoyed the D&D ones the most. They provided one with both food for thought (viz. BG, BG2 and Planescape: Torment especially) and action (the afore-mentioned, plus ToEE and Icewind Dale). Now, I am a bit concerned about the rumour regarding the possible screening of PS:T. Granted, many years have passed since I played the game, and as such my fear of another work ruining it are lessened. But it would still be a sad thing, to hear people (neophytes, especially) complain about D&D in general and Planescape in particular, simply because the likes of Uwe Boll bought the rights and decided to produce yet another crap movie. Let it be said, Alone in the Dark (talking about the games now) was reasonably popular from what I heard, Dungeon Siege was good, and Blood Rayne 1 and 2 were thoroughly enjoyable. I wait with bated breath for their sequels... :mad: Another thing to consider was that most of the appeal in Torment came from both its setting and from its storyline.
