Oh? Are you implying that your post was a troll attempt?

I find it strange how the RPG genre attracts so many pseudo-intellectuals, and how these pseudo-intellectuals seem to think that the "RPG" label somehow equates to quality. Wake up call: it's just the name of the genre, just like "adventure" or "action" or "sports", not some sort of quality guarantee.

Wait a minute. You call ToEE a perfect RPG? Bwahahaha! Then I don't think we have anything else to say to each other, between ToEE's bugs, laughable rule implementation, more bugs, hit-and-miss voiceacting, and the utter absence of any coherent story.

KOTOR is RPG/Action. It has a lot of RPG - the D&D system, interacting with ppl, multiple ways of solving quests, good and light side etc. Simply put the RPG element is pretty strong but it's true that it's a game "dumbed" down and made for a broader market, which doesn't necessarily make it any worse a game.


I agree that the rules in KotOR are heavily simplified -- there's even an "aut level-up" button, for peanut's sake! Yet, people who migrate from the FPS genre seem to have a lot of trouble with this bare-boned d20. (Not D&D! Come now, if you want to adhere to the "elite hardcore RPGer" mindset, might as well get your facts straight.) It's a smart marketing plan; if it were any more complicated in rules, Bioware'd have a smaller sales. Most people do agree, though, that KotOR is a lot of fun to play, even for the "hardcore RPGer" -- and isn't that what games are for, fun?

I wouldn't call it RPG/action so much as RPG/adventure -- the action is no more or less prevalent than in any other "true" RPGs, if we're discussing BG2 and DD here. The NPC interactions faaaar exceed that of DD.


Well you couldn't just shut up could you. You had to go a prove that you are an unintelligent imbecile. I never once said that ToEE was a perfect RPG. If you had any comprehension of the english language or the ability to read and understand it, you would have seen that I said that the perfect RPG would be a mix of ToEE's COMBAT and the rest Divinity. Good job. I said nothing of its voices, bugs or story. And no, I wasn't trolling, but you sure bite on anything. Perhaps you may want to read a statement before going off and commenting on something that wasn't even said, thereby making yourself look like a total fool.
