Mass Effect

Honestly, I didn't like it. I mean, sure, it's a good game, but I have VERY high standards for RPGs and I haven't played a decent one for quite awhile.

The RPG's of today are nothing when compared to the RPG's of the past. I connect this decline to the folding of Black Isle entertainment.

Sigh... Planescape: Torment, Baldurs Gate 1 (and two), Fallout...

I mean, sure... Bioware is going a "decent" job as it is now, but they could be better. The "moral choises" offered in their RPG's are shallow and... predictable.

Example!

Hi, will you save my puppy?

- No.
- How much $$$$$ will you give me if i rescue your puppy?
- HERO TO THE RESCUE! *retarded glee*
- I will kill you and the PUPPY! MWHAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *gasp* HAHAHAHAHA

.... ugh.

Yeah, pretty much.
Black Isle set the bar so damn high on this one.

*Evil Wizard \ Sith pops out of the ground*

HAHAHAHA! The puppy was just a cat in disguise!

*poof, he vanishes in a puff of smoke.*

You must now search for the wizard \ sith and claim your revengeeeeee!

We now have the plot for the next "game of the year" released by Bioware! WOOT! :wacko:

The only propper RPG serie i've seen out there so far, has to be The Elder scrolls. (Arena, hammerfell, Morrowind, Oblivion) Gods, demons, and everything in between. Wars, subterfuge, the elderscrolls has it all.

"I saw a mudcrab the other day!"

"Shut up."

"I hear the vile pox makes some delicious.."

"Dreadful beasts!"

Daggerfall was good, Morrowind so-so, and Oblivion is... Well, suffice to say that not even the unholy labs of Bioware could conjure up such an abomination.

Honestly, I think mass effects offers everything for the buying masses and nothing for us rp enthusiasm people.
Oblivion you say? Well, it would be good if it wasn't flawed with ai.
But I'll tell you what, they'll repair it ENTIRELY if what's coming this Fall is at least as half as awesome as first two sequels of the game. Well thenically they're not sequels. Meh, Fallout 3 people!

I have both worries and excitement for Fallout 3.
On one hand, Oblivion with guns... (Okay, not EXACTLY.. But pretty darn close) The world is supposedly smaller then Oblivion's, and one of the things that made the Fallout series so great, was the things you could do. I remember in Fallout2, seducing a drug lord's daughter, sleeping with her, robbing her blind.. Going to the hallway to leave and running into her mother.. Who invited me into bed. I slept with her, robbed her. Left the room, and proceeded to kill the druglord and his guards.
But the fact that Ron Perlman is once again voice acting, is a HUGE plus. One of the few reasons I actually bothered with C&C3 was that figurehead Joe Kucan returned as Kane. C&C is not C&C without Kane. Just like Fallout isn't Fallout with Ron to voice that one line that manages to send shivers down my spine each time I hear it.. "War... War never changes."
But god dammit if it isn't being ported to console. Which means 2 things.
It's going to be dumbed down, and linear. (Like Mass Effect!!)
