With Neverwinter nights, I finally get to make use of the part of my brain dedicated to THac0, weapon speeds, how many electrum pieces are in a platinum piece, the material components for "Burning Hands", etc.
NWN looked good, until they announced they were dropping the MacOS and Linux toolsets. There went my reason to buy the damn thing.
You guys claiming yourself geeks are just little children trying to impress everyone with your knowledge you probably got some Gaming sites review of Lineage. Sorry to sound like a Flame Bait or a Troller, but a RPG of ANY KIND doesn't need a OpenGL or 128 MEGS of RAM to make it "good." If you ever decide to go back and use your brains, you might realized their is more then games like NMW out there.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy almost ever RPG, from Moria to Baldur's Gate. I enjoy simpler games like Moria more then almost ANY RPG out there today. It's not that I hate newer RPG's these days, but today companies developing games are to busy dwelling on "more realistic graphics" or "better texture's," just to make a better profit. It really pains me to see things like that, when really all you need is a good plot with most RPG's. Sure this is my opinion and it may sound crazy, but compare how long it takes you to beat a game like Rogue or Moria then compare it to how long it takes to beat Baldur's Gate 2. Their is extreme difference in time and quality of plot.
