Hey Coronet. :D Hola, Tharg! What are first, last, best, and worst RPGs you have played? Of the two latter, what makes you choose them? First RPG was probably... oy, I can't remember. I played a large number of games all at the same time when I was first introduced to them, so I can't remember which one I played first. It's either an SNES or a PS2 RPG, I can tell you that much. The Last RPG I've played was Megaman X Command Mission. I'm currently getting trounced by Ninetails. The best RPG... it's really difficult to decide on. I know I said earlier, Chrono Trigger, but I'm thinking I may consider it a tie between Chrono Trigger and Wild ARMs III. The former seems to have been universally agreed upon to be the best RPG the SNES has ever seen, along with FFVI and SD3, and I really liked it. It also revolutionized New Game+. The latter is truly an excellent game. Good graphics AND a good story, along with nice mechanics, and best of all, puzzles! It's like everything good rolled in one! It also has some of the best music. Worst RPG? Probably... FFX. I mean, Mystic Quest was horrible. Secret of Evermore was equally detestable. But FFX... guh! I had so many problems with the execution of that game... especially that Wedding Assault scene. Just... no... How did you first get exposed to D&D? A number of my friends were introduced to it by a friend of theirs (also mine, but didn't know him at that point), and eventually I got absorbed into the group. What's your favorite race in D&D? Why? Non-standard race would probably be the Angelique. It's a self-crafted template, opposed to the Devilith. Very fun to play, albeit having a very large ECL of +5. Favourite standard race... probably human. I'm not quite sure why, I just know I tend to be Human more than any other. What other tabletop RPGs have you played? None, really. If you were an orc, what sort of things would you imagine yourself doing? Eating, punching people, and probably having a relaxing night at night because anyone who could disturb me would've been punched and/or beaten into submission. What do you like best in an RPG? Story above graphics, but mostly I like a story that, first off, is coherent and makes sense. One that doesn't have random plotholes in it. One that actually finishes, having a nice beginning and end. One that's detailed and catches my interest in its grippingness. Basically... like a really good book. I don't recall it being asked here yet, but how did you first arrive to AQ? Ran into Advertisements enough that I finally caved in. I think I was at... the Wotch when I finally decided on it. What do you believe are the strengths to AQ? Customizability, sorta direct interaction between staff and members (sorta because it's not complete), and balance, in certain aspects. Weaknesses? Those large number of aspects that lack balance, server problems (I don't mind them, but sadly, every fix turns us in the wrong direction. There's no happy medium with Server Problems), and a generally lacking difficulty level. quote:
ORIGINAL: Azerkail With all due respect, who would win: An Orc from AQ or an Orc from LOTR? The AQ Orcs. They have cooler weapons... <_< That, and they're smarter and stronger than their brutish ancestors. I think a more appropiate match up would be an Orc from LOTR vs. a Slime from Dragon Warrior, considering both die from a single blow. Who would win? =/ Slime. Because Slimes are awesome, and have those little pointy dealies on them. ^-^ You say your favorite color is chartreuse. Is this because of the chartreuse hippos from 9th Elsewhere? :D I actually do like the colour, but I was more thinking along the lines of Marona's special ability from Phantom Brave, Chartreuse. But I have read the comic. ^-^ How do you feel about us being neighbors in the world building project now? It'll be interesting, now that my neighbor is alive and isn't missing until who-knows-when and on indefinite hold, blocking all my trade routes. ¬¬ Do you believe in Ghaashian lovin'? ;) Oy, if Orc Lovin' can happen, I suppose Ghaashian lovin' can. <_< Gug'ye again. Au revoir, Tharg! ^-^
