That's trolling? No, I'm pretty sure it's stating the obvious. There is a reason D&D games have always allowed you to have a party: it's better. I look for deep combat in most rpg games (especially D&D), not Diablo.

NWN sucks. D&D pc games = party play or no sale. Hm, party = party in the game or party = multiplayer ? If (party = multiplayer) , then (no sale), because I don't play multiplayer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Well, at least until I find a girl-friend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Realms of Arcania (DSA) allowed parties, too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

I'm gonna chirp in my small opinion here. I personally like playing solo. I am a simple bugger though so I can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Unless you have 'disposable heros' however. (Spellforce was excellent for that) The one thing that irked me in D&D games was the rather clever AI sometimes. Having to run the weakest character constantly in circles(i.e. a low-level mage) was irritating to say the least.
I think Professional was just stating an opinion. Just the way he did it was a bit trollish.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Yes. Yes. I'm pretty sure it's stating the obvious. Well, that's not obvious for me! There is a reason D&D games have always allowed you to have a party: it's better. There's a reason oxygen exists on earth: that's better. "That's better" is not a very convincing argument. I look for deep combat in most rpg games (especially D&D), not Diablo. Mmmm... Dungeon Siege? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Party is clearly not everything. P.S. And I do not like NWN either.

Dungeon Siege was the biggest flop ever.
As for NWN and non-party games...
Different situations call for different tactics. The idea of a party fits into RPGs to satisfy that. And the combat itself is entirely too bland without a party; how can you suggest NWN is better off? There's no depth at all. Click click click. No thought involved. Then there's items. What if you find the best item in the game, a +500 sword of total slaying, and you're a mage? That kinda screws you over, doesn't it? Then again to BD that matters not, as any weapon is the best in the game with Sharpen, and the best items can be bought rather than found. So to even suggest that any RPG is better than it would have been with a party just escapes all my sense of comprehension.
And by party I'm referring to singleplayer side of things.

It's too bad that with all these people who have all the facts down pat, on opposite sides, the rest of us have to make due with humble opinions. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Doesn't mae sense how they can start an argument/flame war over opinions. As for party vs. non-party, anyone remember an old DOS Forgotten Realms game called Dungeon Hack? One of the best random game generators ever, IMHO, and was single-player, single-character, dungeon-crawling shinyness. How 'bout Hillsfar? Another game from the days when multiplayer barely existed apart from installing another mouse and keyboard and having a friend sit next to you. Multiplayer = overrated Party Play = overrated old-school DOS roots = ownage Al of the above = IMHO

I tried Net Hack but couldn't get into it.

I tried different games similar to hack. Rogue (the text-based one) was rather fun.

I'm far too shallow to play (or have played) text base games. Especially ones consisting of 50 lines of BASIC coding released before i was born.
