Roleplaying games

When was the last good commercial RPG you played? ok, except NWN2. Nothing comes up, huh?

Surely you can find some cool “action-rpg” or the so-called “Japanese RPG” like Final Fantasy, Suikoden, and so on. But what about Troika RPG ? good old-school rpg with thousands of stats and skills, really hard quest and long lifespan? and a game like Vampire bloodlines? with adult content, and not only those cute-lovely-anime characters that personally I can’t stand anymore?

Well unfortunately the whole CRPG commercial sector went mad. Everyone is either:

1. making the ultimate (boring) MMORPG with subscription
2. making the ultimate (boring) FREE MMORPG (just to charge you for every single item you buy that is above level 1)
3. making those cute-lovely-peaceful anime/jappo RPG where characters have 3 stats
4. making an action rpg, where the RPG component is 1/10 of what it was in Diablo 1…
5. simply NOT making a rpg

and so on. The situation is dramatic, really. As an old-school player I can find hope only in indies. Spidweb, Winterwolves or hopefully new forces will be strong enough to provide some decent old-school CRPG.

Because I have enough of MMORPG or cute-anime characters!!!!
