It's funny, that, because it's based on a critically acclaimed book series. Legolas Send a noteboard - 15/01/2011 01:13:39 PM
Anyway, the story is. . .decent. I enjoyed the presentation a lot (most of the major story is presented with stylized artwork and voiceovers; kind of hard to explain), but didn't care overmuch for the main plot. I mean it's fine, but nothing exceptional. Not something you'd play the game for.

You would expect the plot to be particularly good, then, compared to the plots written by game designers themselves.

I need a good RPG. Ghavrel - 13/01/2011 06:49:32 PM 3309 Views

I have the Witcher waiting at home for me to install next week Stephen - 13/01/2011 08:59:45 PM 1833 Views
Hm. I have it as a project to improve my French, but I found the gameplay pretty boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:38:15 AM 1975 Views
If you find The Witcher boring, you'll likely feel the same about Baldur's Gate 2, IWD, etc. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:07:12 PM 1925 Views
All right. I'll give it a shot, then. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:17:17 PM 1083 Views
Make sure you get the enhanced edition, or whatever it's called. Aemon - 14/01/2011 09:56:56 PM 1952 Views

I've heard that, yeah. I just don't think enough of it made it into the game. (minor spoilers) Aemon - 15/01/2011 08:12:34 PM 1919 Views
The thing is, what works in a book doesn't necessarily work in a game. lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:15:10 PM 1996 Views
Wow, I guess you touched a nerve, Legolas. New pet peeve discovered! *NM* lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 06:22:37 PM 1101 Views
I don't have time to do this justice, but I'll make a brief comment. Aemon - 18/01/2011 09:30:20 PM 1969 Views
Did you read his post? lord-of-shadow - 18/01/2011 09:59:21 PM 1939 Views
Yeah, that was one of the things I didn't have time to respond to. Aemon - 18/01/2011 10:31:46 PM 1919 Views

So I just realized I sparked a bit of a controversy here... I should check this board more often. Legolas - 25/01/2011 10:28:34 PM 1879 Views

Try Divinity 2: Dragonknight Saga. Dan - 13/01/2011 10:38:45 PM 2139 Views
Do yourself a favor... A Deathwatch Guard - 13/01/2011 10:39:41 PM 1884 Views
Everything is the opposite of Morrowind, though. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:37:42 AM 2050 Views
Just go ahead and shoot yourself now A Deathwatch Guard - 14/01/2011 07:51:06 PM 1909 Views
...you were so right. Fable is an MMORPG without the other people. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:35:46 AM 1935 Views
...dislikes...Fallout...3....*dies* *NM* ironclad - 13/01/2011 11:34:10 PM 1085 Views
It was boring. Really, really boring. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 05:36:41 AM 1957 Views
I'm with you, brother! beetnemesis - 14/01/2011 05:51:41 AM 1942 Views
awwww...I loved Fallout 3 Fox and Ravens - 14/01/2011 03:37:51 PM 1881 Views
No... Jacob - 14/01/2011 03:47:22 PM 2108 Views
It's minecraft with guns. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:23 PM 1090 Views
And without a destructible environment. Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:16:52 PM 1864 Views
Yet... Jacob - 15/01/2011 01:27:28 AM 1859 Views
I enjoyed its gameplay more than Fallout. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:40:06 AM 1948 Views
The best story I've ever seen... A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 05:01:47 AM 1941 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1996 Views
I never got to finish Xenogears... beetnemesis - 15/01/2011 09:37:36 AM 1814 Views
"It's minecraft with guns." Ouch. Come on. Fallout3 was better than that. *NM* ianski - 19/01/2011 04:09:30 AM 1061 Views
Coming from me, actually, that's higher praise than it deserves. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:54:57 AM 1927 Views
I got it for like $25, I'd say that's about what Fallout 3 is worth beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 05:09:34 PM 2040 Views
You got Fallout 3 or New Vegas for $25 Jacob - 19/01/2011 06:12:26 PM 1846 Views
Fallout 3. Haven't played New Vegas. *NM* beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:41:24 PM 1068 Views
Jacob - 19/01/2011 09:01:18 PM 1925 Views
Wait. You haven't played it yet? ianski - 20/01/2011 03:46:17 AM 1940 Views
Well said ironclad - 20/01/2011 08:43:25 AM 1849 Views
Fallout 3 is more about the little stories than the big one... Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:55:24 PM 1996 Views
Precisely. *NM* ironclad - 20/01/2011 07:48:21 PM 1076 Views
Both games are great. Jacob - 20/01/2011 01:56:14 PM 1895 Views
Played Fallout 3, but not NV. Ghavrel - 20/01/2011 06:22:33 PM 1825 Views
I'm sure I'll be trying that new ianski - 21/01/2011 02:04:47 PM 1992 Views
Don't play Mass Effect 2 without playing Mass Effect 1. It's a much worse game. Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 06:43:16 PM 1938 Views
Yes, play ME1 first... but opinions vary about ME2. It did the most important things better, IMO. Zalis - 21/01/2011 11:57:26 PM 1999 Views
PC gaming is drying up. ianski - 22/01/2011 01:29:09 AM 1872 Views
That's true if gameplay is more important to you than story. Ghavrel - 22/01/2011 06:50:32 AM 1966 Views
ME1 wasn't even going to release on the PC initially, so I think we could be worse off. Zalis - 22/01/2011 03:27:05 PM 1822 Views
Fallout 3 was a post apocalyptic Oblivion. MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:02:28 AM 1977 Views
If you want a GREAT story, I would go for... MightyYT - 14/01/2011 08:04:15 AM 2004 Views
I second the idea of Borderlands if you like loot-generating/diabloesque RPGs w/ others. Zalis - 14/01/2011 03:09:29 PM 1904 Views
Played it. It was good. *NM* Ghavrel - 14/01/2011 08:15:38 PM 1079 Views
the baldur's gate trilogy and the icewind dales *NM* Foxhead - 14/01/2011 09:32:32 AM 1008 Views
Icewind Dale has no story. Fanatic-Templar - 14/01/2011 07:19:15 PM 1878 Views
I'm surprised you liked Oblivion. Dan - 15/01/2011 12:47:24 AM 2013 Views
I liked Oblivion because it was the sequel to Morrowind. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 01:31:51 AM 1810 Views
Do you know about "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"? It will be released Nov 2011 *NM* Roland00 - 15/01/2011 04:52:13 AM 1022 Views
The trailer to that is so awesome A Deathwatch Guard - 15/01/2011 04:58:04 AM 1854 Views
It is a good teaser... Jacob - 18/01/2011 04:21:15 PM 1901 Views
I do. But after Oblivion, I refuse to buy into hype. Ghavrel - 15/01/2011 06:34:49 AM 1876 Views
Final Fantasy 8. Nebhead - 18/01/2011 09:10:51 AM 2110 Views
That was the first FF I quit before even finishing, and consequently the last I played in the series Zalis - 18/01/2011 03:23:40 PM 1898 Views
I wouldn't even call JRPGs and Western RPGs the same genre, really. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 19/01/2011 02:45:17 PM 984 Views
Like SVU and NCIS are both crime dramas, stylistic differences can remain under one genre umbrella. Zalis - 19/01/2011 03:11:41 PM 1895 Views
Yeah, I think I'm running into WRPG burnout. Ghavrel - 19/01/2011 06:23:49 PM 1971 Views
Worth a shot. Thanks. *NM* Ghavrel - 18/01/2011 06:07:23 PM 1045 Views
If you're going the Final Fantasy route, I'd recommend Final Fantasy Tactics. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 20/01/2011 06:36:02 PM 1007 Views
ianski - 21/01/2011 02:14:41 PM 1891 Views
The gameplay or the story? *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/01/2011 06:24:06 AM 1047 Views
Gameplay is preventing me from playing this game. ianski - 23/01/2011 03:09:39 PM 1941 Views
Go SNES! FF6, Chrono Trigger, Earthbound... beetnemesis - 19/01/2011 07:42:23 PM 1816 Views
I can agree to that. Fanatic-Templar - 19/01/2011 08:03:59 PM 1969 Views
A suggestion we can all agree on. Zalis - 19/01/2011 08:07:54 PM 1979 Views
Holy. Fanatic-Templar - 21/01/2011 08:17:35 PM 1953 Views
What do you think of Strategy RPGs? *NM* Roland00 - 20/01/2011 03:59:52 PM 1019 Views
wat *NM* Ghavrel - 21/01/2011 04:13:07 AM 922 Views
