Not a problem. And welcome to the forums.

Games like NWN...
BGII (But its better)
SW KoTR is a bit like NWN

As to MMORPGS

New ones that are good... Im looking at mainly:

WoW
EQ 2
Lineage II

With maybe

Guild Wars

Im trying to figure out which one I want to be sucked into.

I Played EQ for 5 years (yes it's sad) and despite the bugs I like the massive environment.

I hear EQ2 Isn't as good as WoW for a myriad of reasons (There are thread discussions for that) But I really liked EQ and I can tell I'll prolly like EQ2 as well.
Lots of skills and a huge amount of potential time can go into EQ II. Probably the most complex and time consumming (and maybe superfluously so) MMORPG.

WoW I have many friends who play and say its kickass so I want to play too... It got GOTY (Though that means little in some cases) on Gamespot.
The reviews are good... and it looks like they got everything that matters right.
Some parts of class system I dont like... And I heard there is dissension in the Warlock ranks about their messed up skills.

Lineage II I like the huge castle battles that can take place and the system in general. However it had a buggy launch (mostly corrected now) and many people who play are Korean. Ofc the translator that is provided (revolutionary! Incredible!) Is like a revisit of "All your base are belong to us".

I'm currently playing World of Warcraft and can fully suggest playing that, because it is very easy to get into.
Perhaps a little to easy for my likeing in the long run, but I'm sure I'll have at least 5-6 months of fun with it when it goes retail in Europe.

So that is a suggestion if people are interested in MMORPGs and want to start up in one. I'd still not advice playing DAoC from new anymore, as mentioned ealier.

I think next week I'll give Wish a try before the beta ends instead of WOW, because that game shows to hold a lot of promise and much more debth then WoW in the long run, but I can't really comment that much on it - amongst other things because I've not played it much yet and - naturally - the NDA.
EDIT: or rather - I'll not, because I just noticed (danged, learn to read Xandax) that Wish has been cancelled .... damit.
