"I loot, therefore I play a role" ? Is this the credo of the new, Blizzard-infused gaming generation ?
As far as I remember "the loot" was present in RPG's long before Blizzard even emerged as a gaming company, but you were probably crawling on all fours back then. And yes, I do care about the loot, at least since the the second edition of P&P Talisman, because it played a crucial role in character developement & customization. Dragon Breastplate & Holy Weapon quests were among the highest rated adventures in the first Divinity installment [there was no WoW back then, but people still valued loot driven quests - can you imagine?]. So I refuse to depreciate the important, anti-unification role of loot, only because it is currently fetishized by "modern gaming" corporations.Home decoration [with loot] is the new form of roleplaying, you didn't know?
