Surrogate Games?

[Jauna]

I got burnt on both WoW and P99 over the past month or so and I started loading up older games.. and loaded up things that I have forgotten I have done.

I used Morrowind, Oblivion, Etrian Odyssey games as surrogate EverQuests. My characters looks, names, major and minor skills and classes. Anyone else do this or was I that badly addicted way back when?

I used to import screenshots of my EQ guys into Baldur's Gate 1/2 for custom portraits when my EQ accounts would be banned (or inactive when mom would cut off the credit card billing).

how many accounts did you get banned? story time?

Baldur's Gate was a game I always wished I'd got into. I did try it a few times but it wasn't as fun as EQ.

Not quite connected but look up "Dungeon Keeper" (and DK2), tons of fun to be had.

They have that new 'Neverwinter' game based on D&D's Forgotten Realms.
Free to play, decent graphics, pretty cool gameplay.

Darklands. Period.

It's my p92 when p99 wears on me.

Darklands is one of the most imaginative, well-written, underrated, and underplayed RPG games of all time. It kind of plays off of the style of old choose-your-own-adventure books, with a semi-RTS combat engine that allows you to pause the battlefield at any moment and issue new orders to your party members.

Once you can figure out how to survive beyond the first encounter, it's addicting and it draws me in about once every year for another go!

Here's a gog link so you can check it out (it's only 6 bucks!): http://www.gog.com/game/darklands
