Let's do a poll! What CRPGs are you playing currently?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg (More info?)

Since a lot of posts here are crossposted polls with relatively little
relevance to the CRPG genre, I thought I'd ask the regulars (and lurkers)
here what CRPGs they are currently playing, if any!

Personally, I'm not really deeply into any CRPG right now (or any game,
really). I'm waiting for the 1.9 patch for the German version of "The Fall"
before starting to play it through, and I'm moderately hoping for Dungeon
Siege 2 next month. Didn't really do much reading about yet, though. I
still have Gothic 2 installed and need to finish it one of these days. Same
applies to Divine Divinity, which i actually enjoy, but I have immense
trouble getting used to the "muddy" controls ... they don't seem to respond
well, at least compared to the controls of similar games, such as Diablo 2.
Oh, and of course, I play Fate off and on, but that's like having a snack,
not like a full-blown gaming experience.

What about you?

Might & Magic VIII

I'm a bit put off by not being able to customize more than
one character. And the only magic user capable of doing
Town Portal and Lloyd's Beacon is a lich, who starts off
as a necromancer. I don't like all the restrictions on
character types.

I cancelled my subscription just last week. It's an excellent game, but it
didn't me offer enough end game content to keep me attracted. I like to
adventure alone or in small groups, but the end game content in WoW is
mostly PvP (not interested) or raid instances (very time-consuming,
requires good coordination). I had a 60er priest for three months
(completed set, had the crafted epic items, did MC frequently, etc.) before
I finally grew bored. WoW really is a good game (not a world, a game,
unlike Ultima Online), and I had a blast while playing. I still have an
unused game card floating around, so I might try again around in Christmas,
but presently WoW doesn't offer me enough substance to keep playing/paying.
Nonetheless, a good game for 4-5 months of intense playing. Longer if
you're less obsessed.

M.

Made a character in Fate and took him to level 99 in Legend
difficulty. He is currently hanging around level 120 of the dungeon
with 16k damage and a little over 10k life, which is pointless since
nothing ever hits him before he kills it. I'll leave it alone for a
while and try a weaker character so it will actually be challenging.

Started to go through Planescape Torment a second time, got bored and
quit. I have been too busy with yard work and that type of thing to
play much lately. Despite hating the cold weather, that is one good
thing about winter. I can spend all the time I like gaming.

Silly maybe, but I had to Google for 'CPRG' before I actually understood
the question.

Guild Wars - though not too much at the moment.
Diablo II - my weekly session with some friends.
Dungeon Siege - on and off.
Neverwinter Nights - when Dungeon Siege is off.
Spellforce - hope to start this soon.

A little bit of GuildWars, still haven't made it past the searing
though. Waiting on Tabula Rasa (I think that's what it's called,)
hoping it'll be good.

Fired up Shadows of Amn again as well.

Well I am a VERY happy camper at the moment. As I've said in this group
before, I have a nearly five-yr. old Dell that wouldn't run morrowind,
which I was DYING to try. Well since he is working elsewhere in the
country for the summer, my son has let me have his newer computer for a
couple months which runs morrowind beautifully. I am LOVING this game. I
keep getting distracted from completing quests right away becuase I keep
finding caves and tombs to explore and loot. Then I have to do one of the
"Intervention" spells and go back to a town to sell stuff off so I can go
back and get more, LOL. Gotten a few Fighter's Guild quests done and one
or two of the "major" quests done. Gosh this is fun!

I really, really enjoyed both Golden Suns. Best graphics I ever saw in a

I scanned this post and its headers for 'steam' and arbitrarily
cross-posted newsgroups before replying.

Currently playing:
- World of Warcraft
- Guild Wars (right now just on Tuesday mornings when WoW is down for
maint.)

Still installed but unfinished:
- UK Spellforce Gold (includes Breath of Winter)- I completed the
original Spellforce campaign but had just barely started Breath of
Winter when I started playing WoW.
- German Gothic II Gold (includes Night of the Raven)- I'd completed
Gothic II twice already, but started over a third time with the
expanded German version (with English translation mod installed).
Stopped early on when WoW started.
- Morrowind with Wizard's Island mod- Again, I'd completed Morrowind
before, but re-installed it when Wizard's Island came out... and again
the game was put on hold for WoW. (I was also put off by the
grammar/spelling in the add-on.)
