Hey thats an great insult, the idol winner was from Norway, Lol, or is pop idol somthing else then World-idol, bah it is just too many of these shows.
Anyway, he is not that bad if you listen to the other idol people from Norway, but they would have been more usefull in battle tought, as they could kill monsters with their song. Lol again. 
And I think that hack'n slach should have nothing with the Realms too do, expesally when you even cant make your own charackter.  |

Yes, and he would fit right in too the realms too, since he look like a hobbit that is.
And I was actually talking about Gaute and spesially David .
But what do you think of the realms making a hack'n slash game? |

What about Icewind dale?
I think it is one of the best Bioware games, the story anyway.
And I was not a member here when the first dark alliance came out, and I dident remember too ask when I became one.
So? What do you think?

Erhm... Icewind Dale is Hack 'n Slash. It's hack 'n slash with a little bit of chatting with other peopel to give it depth
What I think about it? I don't mind. Keep up the good work, I say! |

Hack'n slash? No its not, its the same type of game as BG, they do role dices there, its just roleplaying on the computer alone.
And you do not chat with people if you play it alone. |

Erhm... with the characters in the game, then. Allow me to re-phrase my statement.
"Erhm... Icewind Dale is Hack 'n Slash. It's hack 'n slash with a little bit of chatting with NPCs to give it depth " There.

Dude... it's hack 'n slash. The entire point of Icewind Dale is to kill stuff. Baldur's Gate was a bit more roleplay, and you coud somewhat decide what you were goign to do. You an do no such thing in IWD.
It lacks several things that BG has. Characters that join your party, for a big one. You can't do anytihng that doesn't have anything to do with the plot, except for a few minor dialouge-only quests in the settlements. I'd say that IWD is more ofa mix between Diablo and BG, then a good copy of BG. It was made to be a Hack 'n slash and that's what they made, too. A Hack 'n slash with a good story, but a hack 'n slash nonetheless. |

Dont really now soo much about whats hack'n slash and not, but it is not hack'n slash like diablo and Dark alliance, becouse you can make your own carackter and it decsides how much damage you doo becouse of your strenght and soo on.
Basicly it is just roleplaying, alone, or with others, with the PC sorting out your damage and soo on. And anyway, it is not pure hack'n Slash as ir is more like roleplaying. |

Dark Alliance has stats as well, and they actually affect the game. You can roleplay there, as well. Either as a human archer, or a Elf Wizard, or a Dwarven Fighter.
That you can make your own character is not a prequest for roleplay, my good man. If you really want to start defining games you could end up sayign that Diablo II is a roleplaying Game (wich soem do), as you take on the role of one of the characters, and so on and so forth.
If your looking for a game that is *pure* hack 'n slash you need to go way back to the really old First Person Shooters, or soemthing liek that, but then again, even *there* you took on the role of somebody else.
What's the difference here? The difference between roleplay and not roleplay we could say is that in Roleplay the rol you play actaulyl somehow effects the game. Well. In IWD it does not. The only difference between the INT, WIS, and the characters there is a few Dialouge choises, that do not affect the game anything whatsoever. I've only seen one time where a INT, WIS or CHA stat affects the game and that in ins HOW where the barbarians spare you if you have high CHA the first time you meet them. |

I think that both of you are correct in some ways, DA is not a "proper" RPG but there are some elements in it. The important thing is it was a decent game to play and the developers didn't do the usual of putting a popular brand name onto a crap game.

| Indeed, but when I think about it a classical Realms game wouldent work soo well on PS2 so they are forgiven. But I think you should be able too make your charackter anyway. |

| Making your own character is half the fun. I seriously doubt the potential of any game that won't let you do it. |
The Chosen of Vhaeraun
"Nature is governed by certain immutable rules. By virtue of claw and fang, the lion will always triumph over the goat.Given time, the pounding of the sea will wear away the stone. And when dark elves mingle with the lighter races, the offspring invariably take after the dark parent. It is all much the same. That which is greater shall prevail. Our numbers increase steadily, both through birth and conquest. The dark elves are the dominant race, so ordained by the gods." Ka'Narlist of the Ilythiiri. |

| Here's another view point, more people have PS2 and XBOX than have a PC so if they buy and like DA2 they will look into other FR games and then become true lovers of the Realms |

Just booze at the moment thanks. More people over here have a console at home than a PC and PC gaming is not very popular amongst the people I know. Norway must be very cheap to buy a PC...Bed time now
