[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 5491685, member: 3887"] After ME2, I'm not sure I ever want to see --well, at least for the foreseeable future-- a complex inventory management screen. I want immersion that flows from from doing exciting stuff on screen, not pouring over spreadsheets, even ones sporting soothing and fancy pseudo-futuristic interfaces. I starting playing CRPGs back when simple graphics and simple spreadsheets were all a machine could handle; now that games can put you *there*, well, turns out there is *is* a there, there, up to the point even onscreen conversations can be satisfying, well, I'm in no rush to return to the earlier form of the experience. [i]Wizard's Crown[/i] was terrific back in the day. So was [i]Baldur's Gate[/i]. But right now give me Sheppard and Sheppard-like game play/presentation. The traditional-style CRPG has had a long, successful run, but it's time for something new. (I'm patiently waiting for my buddy to finish DA2 for the PS3. We'll see how long my patience holds out before I break down and buy it.) [/QUOTE]
