heres a video with a good bit of "daggerfall" in action, which is Elder Scrolls 2.. check especially the character creation process - which is still pretty much the high water mark for ultra-detailed characters.. IMO its very effective at giving you the sense of a very personalized character, which is essential in terms of drawing you in to the ROLE PLAYING aspect of an RPG
the homogenized crap that happens to modern RPGs is a problem in terms of immersion, not to mention customized play style.. yes i still play pen and paper rpgs every now and then, and i expect something called an rpg to have the ability to define your character
Well said. While I think that there is room in the market for "experience" driven RPGs, the blending of those with the older style CRPG is an annoying trend.
