[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Fullofkittens"]Well, I could phrase it better. How's this: "You don't need to create the storyline on your own. The game company has taken this step for you."[/quote] Irrelavent. Also: one of NWN main features is a toolset so you can create your own adventures. [quote]The last RPG I've played on a PC was, lessee... Ultima IV, in 1988[/quote] So what? [quote]As far as "blindly stumbling along" is concerned - what's wrong with that?[/quote] I DON'T KNOW! [quote]I'm not interested in playing Fantasy Accountant.[/quote] FANTASTIC! [quote]In a video game, you don't need a saving throw because you <b>dodge the thing with your mouse and keyboard. </b> There's no need for chance, or modifiers to chance, to be involved at all. The thing will hit you unless you dodge it. There is no need for dice, so there is no need for the modifiers to dice-rolling. How can I make this more clear? Repeated for the nth time: VIDEO GAMES DON'T USE DICE. YOU DON'T NEED TO MODIFY THE TARGETS FOR DICE ROLLING. Chance may be involved, (since I understand that RPG games don't generally use human reflexes in combat), but you don't have to read the table yourself so you don't need the numbers.[/quote] You haven't got even the faintest idea what you're talking about. You've never even seen the games that I'm referring to, haven't played one in over a decade, and still feel the need to comment. You also feebly try to characterize me as if you weren't completely lacking in knowlege. If you don't want to play RPG games, fine. You're obviously way too smart and way too cool to bother with them. Meanwhile, I'm obviously the kind of shithead who tells telemarketers "You know not with whom you deal", brags about my +7 antimatter longsword, and never takes a shower. Congratulations, you won before we even started.[/quote]
