I loved the game but I'm not sure best RPG of the gen. Was my game of the year 2009 though (which is pretty impressive considerring the games released last year). There have been some amazing RPGs released this gen. Some of my faves:

- Dragon Age
- Oblivion
- Witcher
- Neverwinter Nights 2
- Fallout 3
- Mass Effect

For me, Dragon Age is easily the best Bioware RPG of the gen; Mass Effect felt a little thin for a Bioware RPG. Witcher was better for moral choice than Dragon Age, and whilst NWN2 and Mask of the Betrayer were fun, I think DA:O was just more polished. I liked the immersion and open worlds of Oblivion and Fallout 3. Out of all of those I really can't choose a fave.

Have you played Demon's Souls?

Not yet. It's not released in EU and I've a tight budget and a tonne of games to play through already. It's on my list of games to get as I've heard nothing but praise for the title.

Shame...honestly, it's like a 3rd person Diablo to me. That, coupled with the online features, makes it a work of pure genius.

Demon Souls looks really slow though, very slow action.

Yes, but it's not boring action. It may look boring, but when you play the game, that opinion can change. To each his own, though.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

I'm a Dalish Elf. I'm still going to give a fair chance, but nothing positive to really say so far.

O, ok, I could possibly see that. I found the Dalish part of the story in the forest to be my least favorite. I loved the intro story for human noble, city elf, and mage. Try one of those! :D

I might in the future, but first I need to get through this.

Although, I won't be surprised if I don't like it. WRPGs have been very mixed for me this gen.

I agree, the Dalish were the weakest of the intro stories, but still fun. Personally my favorites were the two dwarf stories. The Dwarf Nobles and the Dwarf Commoners. Those were pretty amazing.

Hmm, I guess I'll try another person then. Although, Dwarf was the one I was trying to avoid the most. For whatever reason, I always avoid dwarves in these types of games.

I'm not sure why everyone seems to think dwarves should be Scottish. I'm relatively certain there's a race joke in there somewhere.

Tolkien basically wrote his dwarves as tiny Scotts and it bled over into Dungeons and Dragons which carried over into pretty much every modern fantasy telling

I was semi-quoting Ragnar McRyan, though

And I think dwarves are awesome. Stout men who beat the Hell out of trolls with enormous axes, and whose idea of a good time is killing shit and getting drunk? They're like teeny Vikings.
