[QUOTE="wlmartin, post: 5621660, member: 6679380"] I think, if I had to be honest, NWN1 was the last half decent D&D based Video Game released. It followed such greats as IWD 1 & 2, BG 1 & 2 I thought NWN1 was going to be a new dimension in gaming since it essentialy was open source MMO but sadly there were never enough decent Servers running to get a good game and the concept died on its arse. NWN2 came along but the camera and movement controls were so flacid I just uninstalled it before finishing the tutorial level. Then you have Daggerdale, Demon Stone and a few others that are basically beat-em-ups with a bit of D&D Flavor. Am I the only one crying out for something DECENT in an offline RPG? Oblivion is getting a new chapter coming out soon so i will jump on that. We know that it can be done. If you take DDO and make it an offline game, you get what we are talking about. Fluid controls, indepth story lines and a working do-able engine. It doesn't have to be in 4e, a 3.5e offline game would be fine... I however am sadly aware that the VG world has to cater for the XBox players out there and if it requires more than 6 buttons, it is not worth playing it seems. Bioware don't seem to be in the loop anymore, it seems that Atari are the ones releasing D&D games now - perhaps that needs to change too! I would start a petition but it wouldn't do any good - they never do. All I can do is hope that whatever bile is released by Atari or another publisher soon is an actual RPG - one with class and substance. [/QUOTE]
