Ok, maybe the fact that I'm also a huge 1st person shooter fanatic made it easier for me adapt to the twitchy combat. I admit that sometimes the action would get so frenetic that I lost control of my character and spun around like a drunk iceskater. But I still maintain my stance that it's the best RPG since Ultima7. My opinion is always right when it comes to RPG's and 1st person shooters.

Ultima 7?

Compared to the earlier Ultimas, it sucked.

Ultima Underworld was much more interesting.

ACK!

Ah, but it takes at least twice as long.

HERETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah well taste is subjective up to a certain point. That point is decided by me, the oracle of RPG gaming. Ultima Underworld was great too. Too bad the ****ing thing won't work in XP. Dosbox is ****.

He does seem a tad truculent.
Although this maybe shot out of the water as nepotistic (or near as damn it), I'd much rather go with your recommendations (and your vast experience of pen and paper RPGs) than with those of someone who welcomes a bit of action in the game, but then claims that this makes for the best RPG they've ever played.
