Been playing D&D style games since late 70’s (back then it was paper and pencil). Didn’t really get into the text based games that came afterwards, but once Bard’s Tale hit the market, I was hooked on computer base RPG style gaming.
I’ve played many games since then, most in this genre. I have many favorites tho, Diablo, Elder Scrolls, D&D (Neverwinter, Baldur Gates, etc.), and some smaller franchises. Some of the old space based RPGs were classics also (Star Flight).
Each has an appeal, none have it all. This new era of Action RPGs is much more entertaining as they keep the pace fast. Luckly, my wife puts up with this, although she doesn’t understand any of it (waste of time, says she…).
This is shaping up to be a very good game. Look forward to the multiplayer testing when it comes and the crafting. Always like crafting systems.
