It was flawed as first games in a franchise tend to be and had it received a proper sequel it could have been amazing. Jade empire like pretty much everything up to Origins was a solid start for a solid franchise that Bioware just abandoned. And the public rewarded them massively, as usual. Why make another actiony RPG that wishes it was single character? Just make a different franchise! They had the one AAA party based RPG out there and they threw it away to become ARPG / Single player MMO. It was a world of Two Worlds, Risen, Elder Scrolls, etc. Instead they reworked it into an action game. So I pictured DA2 being a level 20 Wizard with time stop and stuff in a more interesting story/world. But then in expansions/sequels they can make some really great content because the engine is already in place. I just figured they had to develop the engine and IP/lore and stuff, so it didn't leave them much budget for the gameplay itself. It's a solid modern tactical party based RPG. Pause it, give orders, it had some good spells and abilities, and some synergy.
You can be immersed in it, yet zoom out to an overhead view for battles. I thought the execution of it was not very good but the ingredients are all there. I thought Origins was the first step into a great new RPG future. I can reject independent and shareware RPGs if they are clearly amateur efforts with no innovations or accolades attached to them.I don't get it either. My definition of what constitutes an "RPG" encompass several criteria, which can be found in the FAQ.Ĥ. Exceptions made and ambiguity resolved at my discretion.ģ.

Console games do not appear on my playlist unless they also had PC releases during their original release schedule (generally within 2 years of the console release). To appear on my play list, a game must be a a) single-player RPG released for a personal computer, and b) in a language that uses a Latin alphabet. I am going in chronological order on two sections of the list: a) all RPGs in the 1990s, and b) non-PC RPGs that I missed during my first four years of blogging when I played only games released for DOS.Ģ. I am following a list of CRPGs in chronological order derived from several sources, including Wikipedia, MobyGames, GameFAQs, and contributions from readers.

I turn moderation on and off and "word verification" on and off frequently depending on the volume of spam I'm receiving.

I will delete any comments that simply point out typos. There is no such thing as "necro-posting" on this blog, and thus no need to use that term. As such, all comment threads on this blog are live and active unless I specifically turn them off. Reader comments on "old" games continue to supplement our understanding of them.

Comments on my blog are not a place for slurs against any race, sex, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or mental or physical disability. Please at least mention "ROT13" in the comment so we don't get a lot of replies saying "what is that gibberish?"ĥ. I appreciate if you use ROT13 for explicit spoilers for the current game and upcoming games. Choose the "Name/URL" option, pick a name for yourself, and just leave the URL blank.Ĥ. It makes it impossible to tell who's who in a thread. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.ģ. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters.
Please avoid profanity and vulgar language. (For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.)
