That player needs to learn that evil and STUPID and not the same thing...
How would anyone evil survive to adulthood if he was that stupid?

I'll agree with that, the undead is pretty obvious, if you consider what most people in most religions in the real world will think of it. Desecrating the dead and the like is considered really bad by most people.

Heh, alright...

And just for the record, I DO come up with explanations, most of which are far more creative then the average person's, In fact I have been posting those on the wizards forums..

BUT.
1. I have to come up with my own explanations, which just validates the point that the current ...

EX1: Sorcerer vs. Wizard. How sorc requires components. etc

EX2: Arcane Spell Failure.

EX3: HP

EX4: Poison and backstab (you can charge a naked level 20 fighter in the bathtub, heavily armed, with poisoned daggers, and he will likely win if you are 10 or so levels below him).

EX5: Specialized ...

which goes against everything dnd stands for.

Dnd is designed to appeal to the hack and slash community, everything is designed with one goal, balance in killing powers. After designing that, they add on to it explanations and story, which almost ALWAYS conflict and make absolutly no sense at all.

heh, i disagreed with some of the henchmen interactions aswell... But, I remember its entertainment. And all things considered, it was fun. Sure it had its downfalls, but nothing is perfect, and RELATIVELY its really good (key word, relatively)

I played and LOVED those modules...

Before those modules I spurned the paladin... they made me see how the paladin could shine..

wait.. dawn? dawn is out already???? (off to nwn vault to check...)

heh, then i wish i had you as a dm...

I am still working on my setting.. and by that i mean i working on the science behind everything...

Still, isn't there be more than just "fighting inner evils" (whether by biology or not) and "spreading righteousness, honor, and helping the defenseless" to Paladins, aside from the individual personalities and gameplay mechanics of the character itself?

no.. not really... that just about sums ...

I would also like to point out that paladins are the embodiment of good lawfulness... and I can hardly see a lawful good order and god discriminating against beings and refusing to allow them to join simply because their species usually exhibits certain traits.

I can just imagine an orphand ...

You simply MUST finish the longest journey.. its AWESOME. you will really enjoy the ending methinks...

I am indeed familiar with the monkey island series, quite hillarious... the rest you mentioned i am not familiar with.. so I will have to go look for them...

Thanks for reminding me of monkey ...

Ah yes, the warlords battle cry series, got that one.. like that one..
I also have desciples 2 rise of the elves.
Thanks anyways.
Heh, but if i didnt already go through countless games I wouldnt be asking for help locating good games.. ;p

Oh, anyone hear of the game Return to Mysterious Islan or ...

No, you just keep on misinterpreting me.

You said for example: "My perception is that the genre labels used by magazines and websites usually work very well, and provide a broad guide to expectations. Your opinion is that they don't."

This is entirely untrue. I didn't say that they don't provide a ...

well, as i said... in their CLASS, not in their JANRE.

I keep on saying, I am not refering to Janre, sure they do fall into those janres. I am just saying that they are unique, or at least, they start a shift towards a different way of doing things. Take warcraft 3 for example, it is also a ...

Spellforce is a hybrid heroes/plot driven powers RTS/RPG hybrid.
AoW is a hybrid hero-ascending-to-godhood TBS/RPG
AoW is very similar in that regard to populous 3 the begining,
A hybrid hero-ascending-to-godhood RTS/RPG.

See, those games are usually the ONLY games in their class, they just take ...

Its not the rules you are bending in that manner. Its the setting. Setting != Rules. (at least it shouldn't in any half decent rpg... and if it is, just ignore that part and treat it as if it isnt... dm prorogative)

Hi, thanks alot for the response.

Well, some google showed that those two games come from companies that made some nice games before. And I am downloading the Warhammer demo... (there isnt one yet for vampire bloodlines). Thanks for the suggestions. Oh and yea, I am familiar with the other AOW and ...

I like becoming a god... WITHIN PLOT.

These games got it right:
1. Populous the begining, where you start out as a powerful shamaness who is aspiring to become a god through her magic.
2. Age of wonders, where you start as an immoral mage, one of the few, the elite, who conquers cities becuase ...

Take the heroes of might and magic games... I have never finished one of their official campaigns, while I bought all their games.

It was just too long... I spent the most time on those games ever, but they were still too long. There IS a point in which the game becomes too lengthy... I have a ...

well, its good thing you put BE in there... at first I thought it was one of those things where silly young (10-14 years old usually) teenagers review games/movies/books/whatever that havent even come out yet...

So to answer the question. I thought halo was boring, I enjoyed half life... and Doom ...
