Goodmongo: HUH??? cRPG's are KNOWN for replays. That is one of their big selling points. Some do it with different classes like fighters/mages/thief, others do it with different races and others do it with good/bad playthroughs.

So you are way off base on this comment.

coastie65: I agree. I played through Neverwinter Nights Platinum some 5 times. TW1 3times, Fallout 3 at least 3 times. Nayway you get the idea, some do lend themselves to replayability as they are fun and you can do different things. Some others, with just one way to go, are still fun to go back through at times and others, once was enough.
I think its partially a "post mortem" syndrome if you will. Once we get through a game, hindsight being 20/20 (mostly?) its fun to see how well we can do after we finish an RPG once, with different approaches, team combinations. Its kindda cheating in a way I suppose. But its fun. I'll probably try Icewind Dale 1 or 2 again while waiting for the 1.3 patch to come out for TW2.Its been a few years so I've probably forgotten enough that I'm not cheating anymore. ;-)

Nah, not cheating. You are more familiar with things, but if it is a Party based RPG and you switch an use diferent party members or switch your Character from Palladin to Cleric or something, then it is a different game as you have to use different tactics. I never could get into Icewind Dale ! or 2 for some reason. Ended up giving to my Nephew. Was a Big boxed set that had all the Icewind Dale stuff.

jlibster: Oh, YES! I have that one. With the map, the books,, heavens I miss getting large books full of spells. PDFs somehow don't quite compare. :D

I think we can let this thread die now.
