[QUOTE="gribble, post: 4475926, member: 12430"] Well, they're both very different. The very high level plot summaries of each are: [SPOILER]RotRL: An ancient evil has awakened and his minions are once again active in the lands of Varisia. The PCs fight first against his minions and other trouble stirred up in his wake, slowly uncovering and then facing the forgotten threat. RotRL is primarily about discovery - both of the lands of Varisia (it involves a lot of travel) and of what is really going on. CotCT: The fragile peace of the great city of Korvosa is broken with the death of the king. As further misfortune befalls the city, the civil disorder is revealed to be a plot of the Queen, who has become corrupted by an ancient and powerful artifact. CotCT is more of a typical city-based adventure, although there are some forays out of the city at later levels.[/SPOILER] Both have a lot of depth, but at a high level I guess the choice is between dungeon/wilderness (RotRL) vs urban/dungeon (CotCT) adventuring. :) [/QUOTE]
