Slap a leveling system on something and suddenly its an rpg. Right? Except not even sort of.

Like fallout 1/2 and pre oblivion TES its was about stats and numbers. It was dice rolls playing out in front of you. Table top realized in 3 dimensional spaces.

Oblivion/FO3 and on its actions not stats. Each game havjng fewer and fewer number based action with dice rolls be stripped away until stats are an after thought. Barely meaningful and base character class either removed or irrelevant.

Remember how in Skyrim there were zones that only a kajit acrobat could reach? Course you dont. Or the places only an argonian or a alteration master could reach? Hpw about the guilds you join bause of your nationality an stats?

Oh thats right, your warrior with not knowing a single spell is master of the mages guild.

Such rpg. Very role play, wow.
I did, and occasionally still dust off and play Morrowind. It was quite deep for its time and my only knock against it is the whole issue of not saving enough leading to the whole false "Your disc may be dirty or damaged. Press 'A' to retry." error. Yes, they eventually patched it and made the game create restore files when that would happen, but it's something that never should have been an issue in the first place.

Even geographically, the Wasteland games are close enough to possiblyexist contiguously, but still far enough away to not step on eachother's toes.
LOVED WASTELAND 2. Would play a sequel in a heart beat.

You're playing a game ported onto the original xbox. It's not Morrowinds fault youre having a meh experience, it was never intended to be played on console, let alone one so weak.

Also "Deep for its time" as if something more deep has come since?

: Dr. Hubert Farnsworth voice: "Well, GOOD NEWS!" Just tentatively have to wait another two years, barring no setbacks, delays, or otherwise devastating controversy (or, the real world doesn't skew to imitate art in that time)... the teaser for 3 got its hooks me as much as the teaser for 2 did, and I'm not a big teaser or trailer guy for games or movies.

I also hope it doesn't show up too close to another actual Fallout sequel...
