Cristopher is mostly right. What I seek in RPG's are stats. That is why
I think that Fallout is the best out there.
second, about MM7... why can't I make tactics with my group? I mean, in
BG you can surround your enemy, split your group so Fireball doesn't hit
them all. There is no such thing in MM7. Graphic engine in MM7 also
sucks. It's slow, and texture quality is low. Anyone tried Alien vs
Predator? One of the fastest/best looking engines I've seen for 1st
view... comments?
