Finished Deathtrap Dungeon with both. Prefer Red Lotus (The girl) as she is faster. Chain Dog (The guy) is tougher & stronger, but slower. I just prefer fast to strong.

There are two versions - a Win '98 version and a Win '95 version. I'd imagine the 95 version is not really a going concern right now. The 98 version DOES still work (On XP), but it uses an unusual soundcard setup. Right now I can play it any time I like... as long I don't mind having no sound.

Time was I could almost play it in my sleep I was so used to it, but now... I need the sound. So I haven't really played it for a while.

Or something like that ?

I think this is an interesting thought regarding the cliché-like image that people (namely RPG-players) often have of male heroes.

A typical example is the duo of "Deathtrap Dungeon". A small, good-looking and agile female character, and a really big, brute, not at all good looking but instead very strong looking male character.

This is pure cliché.



that was precisely wat i was thinking!!! laugh

ur good smile

u know now that u mention the chiche image of males and females in many RPG, i realized that there hasn't been a RPG that lets u change the size of ur character or how muscular they are. There's always a default body.....well at least that's how it always is in the RPGs that i play.

play guild wars. It's horrid, cause women look like they walked out of a victoria's secret catalogue and men, depending on their class, look like Conan the Barbarian or a blatant homosexual.

Actually, this is the very first time I hear this.

Have you any idea on how to distinguish both ?

It should be somewhere on the box, but I don't think it's all that blatant. I think the best idea is to get it from somewhere like Amazon, which will tell you up front in the description which version it is.

I don't have it boxed, that's why.

I prefer to play females. I generally pick a female character on the first play-through, then play a male the second time. The female character is the one who is most like me. My male characters are often slightly more evil. (Very slightly, since I cannot really take pleasure in playing evil. I'm such a softie.)

In all of the RPG's that I played I was a male, in TQIT I started with female chars, and in Sacred2 I played a male char first, but quickly decided to play females and at the moment I only have female chars in Sacred2. They look much better then a Shadow warrior in short trousers.
In DD2 I will start with a male and later I will pick a female char.
