Alex Lifecrafter Member # 59	written Thursday, October 9 2003 00:11 Profile #0 Actually, it's about Morrowind, which is also a huge open-ended single-player RPG. Basically, it has better graphics but worse gameplay than SW games. The journal is not that great. There's lots of text in it (with hyperlinks), but there's no quest log. Keys, quest items and gold just clutter your inventory. Movement is realistically slow. To save money (and increase your Athletics skill), you'll probably run between towns early in the game, which taxes your stamina. If you run into a monster while you're fatigued, you're in trouble. Combat is a clumsy clickfest. Not as fun as in pure shooters or in turn-based RPGs. Mana is a scarce resource. Dialog with NPCs is fairly limited, although the books compensate this to a certain degree. The topic's title was inspired by the fact that people complain if you walk around naked, but any item that you equip removes that effect. Even a ring will do - maybe they're all Great Rings granting invisibility? Graphics - the landscapes and items are great; character models and animation less so. Unreal was about as good back in 1998. Posts: 950 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00

I'm curious, though- is there a naked, phallic object-wielding swordswoman graphic like there is in Avernum? -------------------- We're all amazed but not amused By all the things that you said you'd do.

Cian Apprentice Member # 3558	written Thursday, October 16 2003 11:59 Profile #5 A great game but DEFINITELY not the best.It was too open-ended for me. Once you'd done the first few quests in Seyda Neen you were just abandoned. You then travel to Balmoral meet your blades boyo who tells you to go and basically get XP uh thanks. But the Houses are great (still havent got into Redoran yet)and I really love trying to play all the Guilds at once without making them annoyed . I've never actually got anywhere near completing it (in fact I havent even finished the first story mission) but its a game I keep coming back to. And the amount of plugins for it are staggering if not all of the best quality. I want to know if its worth getting the add-ons (Tribuanl,Bloodmoon) for an occasional player who plays frantically for about a month and then gets frustrated . But it really is a masterpiece flawed but still a great work of art. Now Deus Ex theres THE best game ever. Some of you will probably complain about 'shooters' and other crap but Deus Ex is the most fantastic,enjoyable gaming expeirence I've ever had. The sheer complexity of the plot is enough to propel it to No. 1 (sorry to invade the topic) Now back to our feature presentation.... -------------------- I r happiness!
