    Sorry couldn't resist posting this. As it concerns the E3 show I guess it will be old news to many of you byt the british PC Zone magazine has just come out and they have an article about Role Playing Games at E3. And there are loads of them. So for those not up to date, here's the list with links:

    Never Winters Night (do I really need to link to this?)
    http://www.neverwinternights.com/

    Diablo 2: Lords of Destruction
    http://www.blizzard.com/diablo2exp/

    Baldurs gate 2; Throne of Bhaal (mustn't put alink, no no, resist, aaarrgh)
    http://www.interplay.com/bg2throne/

    Torn (I'm most excited about this one as many of the people from PsT were involved)
    http://torn.blackisle.com/

    Wizardry 8

  2. Only bad/good thing is that all these games will be released shortly after another, so where am going to get the money.
    Guess I'll have to take out a loan... :)

    [​IMG] Since these boards are named as Boards of MAGICK and one of those RPGs has the word MAGICK in it's name, I'll stick to that game. I can't wait to play it... :p :D

    [​IMG] Difficult decisions to be made for sure. All these games look pretty good, but my money is in "Dungeon Siege" and "Torn". I've never heard of Morrowind before, but it looks interesting. This is, of course, what I think the best non D&D set games will be. NWN will be awesome for sure.

    Mollusken, you are first but I immediatly thought the same after seeying the list. WC3 is a roll-playing strategy game and what I saw from it, it really rocks!
