Oh, what a shame...
You see, recently I tried to come up with a good 1st person RPG that had
LAN (either by TCP/IP or IPX) support so I could play with my stepson over
our home network. There are _no_, I repeat, absolutely _no_ 1st person RPGs
with LAN support whatsoever, with the exception of Elder Scrolls:
Battlespire, and that one has a severe flaw: no chance of saving the game
before you finish one entire level (we took 2 hours to try to finish the
first level, and when we were about 80% there, the game crashed on the
computer that was playing the server).
So, many 1st person RPG either
a) had advertised multiplayer support but never implemented it (Descent to
Undermountain)
b) had net support but no lan support (Yserbius)
c) have nice LAN support but the RPG elements were completely gone (Legends
of Might & Magic)
I'd say there's something really important missing in the RPG world... :(

There are a few minor differences, but the first person perspective does
make targeting that much more of a factor that can't be regulated with
stats.
Trust me... it's really just another squad based FPS with midevil
textures... nothing more... here's a review that does a wonderful job of
summing it all up:
