I really find the DKS fantastic great game with all the fantasy and "things" of the main story quest you don't know ALL ... Great because I love it I can give my own imagination & fantasy more place to live in my mind! It's like reading lots of books (novels, a roman) that give the reader the chance to make his/her own world in his/her imagination! While watching TV most of the time b-r-e-a-k (make stuck) your imagination. The way a PRG is maked can make or break my mind (of imagination & fantasy)! I know I'm a person who has other thoughts about "fantasy in a game" like others have (for example you, neatfires) ... so totally NO offense to anyone
I play games for Fun, for being in another world, especially a wonderful world of things that are impossible in reality !
I can agree with : give players indeed the possibility to skip ingame movies.
The 1st or 3rd person view : it's subjective. I like both views, but more 1st view if I play an adventure/puzzle game.
I find the view of the camera in the Dragon Knight Saga (last version) really good and even better than in Ego Draconis (first version) !
I can understand many gamers love more Oblivion or whatever RPG that have more realistic things,
but I'm afraid each developer team has it's own STYLE of making RPG's.
It's impossible for ONE dev team to make a RPG that ALL (or mostly all) RPG gamers love !
And I, simply, love the style of RPG the dev team of Larian Studios create !!
