"Top 10 reasons why RPGs suck"
We can thank Alz over on the HP board for spotting this one. It is a pretty funny (tongue-in-cheek) look at RPGs and why (those that just don't get it) think they suck.

1. "RE: Top 10 reasons why RPGs suck"
Many of these reasons are very legitimate once even though others of are just features that true RPG fans love.
For instance:
8. Lazy NPCs (yeah in most games NPC are narrow minded)
7. Quests (some quests are really stupid)

But it seems there is some hope ;)
Piranha Bytes suppose to release Gothic this fall. Gothic should feature the following:

  • "real" NPC life cycle including daily activities and nightly sleep

  • change of NPC attitudes depending on PC actions outfeat and so on

  • NPC-NPC interactions a-la W7 (you fight A then B helps you and C helps A)

  • NPC memory
