PULEASE!  We're talking crpg not ADVENTURE, crpg-lite games! :p
I liked PST for what it was.  But it was weak as a crpg game for me!
IMO!

uhm, thats a first person SNEAKER, not really a crpg.  though anythings
anything these days.  so I guess you;re right!

Deus Ex cheesey, Fallout 2 good, I'd add System Shock 2 if you put Deus
Ex in (more for deep ambiance, than story).

BAD THING?!? why?!?! ah I remember you. I had a few remarks about Wiz 8
and classic crpgs and whatnut in December with you... iirc... I guess
for you its bad.  Not bad for me! I think based on what I've read of
freestone wilson's past posts hes definteily an OLD SCHOOL crpg type...
anyway.
