well i know i don't...

anyway, concerning RPG's, i'm not too much a fan of modern ones as i've recently realized...
all the voice acting and lond CG sequences, they take away from the fact that in the olden days, you had to imagine what they might sound like, or what it might look like in real life, somewhat like a book, and well, i've always felt that RPGs are part literature (given the fact that most of them require hours of reading)...

probably the most modern RPG i like is Grandia II...
and Warcraft III if you count the RPG elements in it...

I remember reading a comparison of Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape Torment that gave the number of words to read in the dialogue box.

Icewind Dale = 250,000 (Heavy on the hack n slash)

Baldur's Gate = 500,000 (Well balanced dialogue and action)

Planescape Torment = 750,000 (Better like an involved story and be prepared to do some reading)

I remember thinking, while playing Torment, that it was like an interactive novel. Still, it's one of the deepest RPGs I've ever played even if the multiverse was kind of dark and gritty. Hmmm...maybe I need to load it up and play again.
