I think this thread proves that there needs to be a reclassification of games. They've changed so much that broad definitions like "role-playing games" just does not cut it.

Perhaps. However, people would still need little ways to at least guess at their character's proficiency with certain skills. Dwarf Fortress includes both numbered stats as well as descriptions like "Dabbling", "Novice", and "Competent" up to "Master" and "Legendary. Perhaps the game could...

I don't know if this fits into your setting, but I would always like an RPG set in the future of a fantasy world. So we've got our modern culture mixed in with magic, elves, dwarves, trolls, and goblins alongside plasma rifles, genetic engineering, spaceflight, etc. But as for titles Steel...

I might get it. I'm a little more tempted than I was with Origins. It looks like they've made some big improvements, including departing from Bioware's traditional story structure.

Building a castle and then setting fire to the surrounding trees. EVERYTHING BURNS!

I guess they could give it a shot. It likely won't work, but it's never really been seriously tested.

What is this "kill" you speak of? *Casts invisibility spell* Ah, magic in the Elder Scrolls.

"FUCK fruit. Sitting around all smug on trees and in pies..."

The idea of political leaders slugging it out in a high-stakes game - no matter what that game is - is an interesting concept. Maybe it'll be made into a fighting game some day.

Half Life 2. It seems like every criticism overlooks that the game came out in 2004.

IGN has always been dead to me.

They will likely make another Fallout game beforehand, since the approach they seem to be taking with that is to chuck them out as quickly as possible to feel a profitable audience. Elder Scrolls games take longer to make. With that in mind, I'd like to see TES V first.

Sounds like an excellent idea. Its an interesting new setting with plenty of unique gaming opportunities. And RPGs need something fresh.

No. Not in the slightest. I think your racism filters are turned up a bit high.
