| Hello all I'm new to these threads. I'm a big fan of the Baldur's Gate and IceWind Dale series. I have played 2 or 3 pnp sessions of D&D before and I absolutely loved it. I had played it with my brother, 1 of his friends, and another of our friends. I always used to take the roll of the warrior. Unfortunately the first I played I fell into a pit (trap) near 3/4 of the way through the campaign. But it was fun none the less.
Although unfortunately that is where it ended because there's no one I know in my community that plays it. So I have to resort to CRPGS. All I can say is thank god for BG and IWD. Neverwinter Nights was terrible. It could have been better if it wasn't focused so much on the combat portion and maybe take more than 1 henchman.
Now to the point of my post. One of you earlier had said that you hope it doesn't turn into a monster spawning/hunting for xp kind of game. Well let me assure you that they have said the only way to gain experience is to complete quests. Killing monsters does not reward you with xp (unless of course killing the monster is the quest). I like this idea a whole lot because hopefully it will repel those kinds of players that prefer to have an uber character rather than enjoy the setting, environment, and story of the game.
The three I just mentioned are the most important to me. It would be great if they could make it so when you're in a dungeon there's creepy music going on in the background. I hope they actually make it frightening for the character and not just another dungeon like in most games.
Alright well that's all I have to say so far.  |
