Hmmm... Powergaming, Ive never understood that.. You only understand 1/10 of the games true potential. Not my cup of tea, I prefer the depth of involving yourself in an inticate story.
I guess the differences showed when I played EQ. When everyone else was powerleveling and twinking characters, I was running around doing quests, getting excited when I replaced my 7/30 1 hander with a 7/28 one, or finishing a quest I had been working on.
Hmm, maybe D&D is nerdy, but personally, I'd consider anyone that spends 16 hours a day with his ass planted in front of a computer monitor while he tries to get uberloot much more of a nerd than a guy that gets together with 6 of his friends, drinks beer, talks about girls, and plays a serious game that requires imagination and innovative thinking. Personal preference. Computers, even NWN with its innovation are only a pale shadow of how much fun a real Roleplaying sessions can be.
I don't think most EQ powergamers have 6 friends, so actually playing a real RP game is probably out of the question... LOL
I respect your opinion Ariak, but your probably way in the minority here.
And REAL DND requires lots of skill and imagination, much more than a computer game ever will. Even the most advanced computer games are nothing but an incomplete imitation for the glory that is a true Role Playing game. I'd prefer to be quick with my mind rather than quick with my finger.
