Interesting idea. I'll play <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Will you buy an RPG just by the fact that it is an RPG?
No. There are a lot of games I won't touch that are RPGs, including anything at all with turn based combat. It's real time or nothing, for me. That's my major sticking point; there are others.
How do you decide to buy an RPG?reviews,word of mouth, forums?
If I like the like of it primarily, though I do tend to look at word of mouth and reviews a lot more now than I did. Largely to find out if the release is a beta version, though.
Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors?
Never. I see no point in them.
Do you use walk throughs?
Only after I have finished a game, to see if there's anything I missed. No-one really needs walkthroughs for an RPG. The puzzle solving games... That's something else again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Do you download the latest patch before you start a game?
Always. This I have learned the hard way...
Do you prefer single character or party?
Party. It's hard to role play without group interaction.
Do you prefer single player or multiplayer?
Single player.
