"It's not surprising why Wizards abandoned AD&D long ago in favor of playable trading cards such as the incredibly popular "Magic: A Gathering." The system bulks down the game, its thoroughness making the action slow to a crawl. " "The menus are what you would expect - littered with third-rate fantasy art including the game's villain (an evil mage) and a seductive woman wearing revealing armor. " "The magic in Neverwinter Nights seems interesting at first in the fact that it doesn't use the universally accepted RPG magic power mana. Instead you can use only what spells you choose at the game's start and after that you're doomed to attack with nothing but ranged weapons and staffs. This makes wizards and sorcerers basically useless (unless they are fighting against you and cheating). Not that the spells are any fun to use; they're all lazy, generic fantasy tripe like fireballs and "magic missiles."" *smirk* Honestly..the whole review just seems to be Flame Bait :) -Gel ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
