What kind of computer game should be 4E?

[That One Guy]

A fun mmorpg.

Ha.Ha.Ha.

Edit: Expanding to usual wordiness, I don't think a lot of mmorpgs are consistently fun. I would love to see 4e contradict this. I admittedly would not mind if there was some sort of dungeon generator for DDI where players could make groups of monsters of appropriate levels and have a pseudo-mmo that way (It'd be hard to arbitrate house-rules unless one PC was subDM or something).

If you can avoid the bugs and survive the Galeb'Dur legions at the upper levels, the game was really awesome at recreating the 3E game rules!

If I only knew where my game cds have gone... I can't find them!

I couldn't get past the sheer and utter boredom of Hommlett not to mention the extremely cumbersome controls, tragic UI and having to move the map AND the characters.

Sorry, but I felt it was a very badly designed game. So much so that it detracted from any possible good that it might've had in it.

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 and Planescape, however, had nice and simple controls, a beautiful UI and fun stories. THAT's how to design a CRPG. Only thing it didn't have was proper turn-based combat.

Turn based, party based game please. Isometric grid.

FFT has been mentioned. It's a good base, but you need to keep in mind the ranges would be alot greater. I'd look at something more like the older Fallout games, or Jagged Alliance, or X-Com.
