Will you buy an RPG just by the fact that it is an RPG?


No, I have my own preferences. For example I strongly dislike Japanese RPGs.
Have tried them but was utterly disappointed - childish stories, metrosexual characters, way too much cutscenes...

How do you decide to buy an RPG?reviews,word of mouth, forums?

Hm, depends. Sometimes info by friends, sometimes forums & internet (especially if I already know a game and look for sequels), sometimes just spontaneous buys in my local games store.

Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors?


No, never used any...

Do you use walk throughs?


Yes, if I desperately need some help with a tricky issue. But in general I try to resolve the issues myself first, and only consult walkthroughs in a second step.

Do you download the latest patch before you start a game?


Well, if I know that there's one out there, then yes. Otherwise no ;-)

Do you prefer single character or party?


Party, for the much more tactical combat and more characters to develop.

Do you prefer single player or multipalyer?


Depends. I usually have no time for longer MP sessions and I play way more SP. Nevertheless I've nothing against a well-made MP-part.
