This was my very first WRPG. I didn’t understand the full concept of it all yet. This game has so
Many negative things about it (controls, mechanics, glitches, repetition, the list can go long) - but I was completely blown away by the sure scale of it all. The customization. I replayed this game probably a dozen times within my first month of playing and would spend over an hour creating my character. It took me forever to settle and accept that each character had their perks and flaws and my decisions affect their outcomes and the sort of story I want my character to tell or live in. I dumped hundreds of hours into this game. I created a massive binder with everything from my thoughts, the fledgling internet’s thoughts, lore, my own personalized lore, the binder was as thick as an encyclopedia. It’s broken. It’s buggy, it’s glitchy and the series has surpassed this one over and over again.
But it’s story. It’s atmosphere. It’s nostalgia. This one needs to be remade for today’s consoles in a bad way. I’d be all over that!
