Yes, I liked also to play Dungeon Siege and Dungeon Siege II (I remember
especially the ghost quests)...
I've never finished Sacred. I bought "underworld", but I've never played it,
because my "team" suddenly stopped playing and I don't like to play these games
on my own (not, that it would be too frightening for me ^^ ).
I'm always a support character. But it's better to play with me than playing
with "bots", I'm too unsuspectedly chaotic, that makes all games very funny. ^^

Me too. :-)
Neverwinter Nights, The Elder Scrolls series, Legacy of Kain series, of course
Final Fantasy series...
C&C, WC3 and which one again is that with some "Eldar", who can hide their
bases?

Have you also tried one of the Legacy of Kain series?
These were also great games. It's a pity, that they finished the series.

Aren't FPS more interesting, when played online pvp?
I haven't played a lot, so I can't judge that.
(Thinking of UT, I was too often the one, walking there and got shot.) :-)

Nope. I'll consider them the next time I'm at the online store...

If you like a good mix of puzzles, 3rd person "hacking" ^^ and good storyline,
you won't regret it. (Especially the parts (Soulreaver I/II) with Raziel have
many puzzles, on the other hand, you get more information of the whole story,
when the game is focussing on Kain (Bloodomen I/II), IMO.)

But only, because they are not real people, as far as I've understood the whole
movie.
Somehow it's a strange tale about Mark Twain...
but the paradise scenes are also funny. ^^

LOL
>Somehow it's a strange tale about Mark Twain...
This might help I just looked it up
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mysterious_Stranger
Animated adaption
The Mysterious Stranger was adapted to a short scene in the 1985
claymation film The Adventures of Mark Twain, in which the children
meet an angel named Satan, who demonstrates a power to create life
before brutally killing the people he has created. The scene is widely
believed to be banned due to its grim content[citation needed].

oops again, then I mistook it. :-)
The misterious stranger = satan, heaven = aliens' club [facetious], adam and eve
= scientific orientated humans, not to forget the frog... ^^
It's really well made!
I'm not sure, if it might be a childrens' tale or if it target adults?

My experience is that I never found an online forum where I could
compete at all. Plus, the best way to win was to do extremely silly
stuff, like bunny-hopping All The F'ing Time so nobody can line up a
shot on them. Even stuff like Black and White multiplayer I got my butt
kicked. Probably because I don't really have time to play more than an
hour or two a week usually.
When I played PvP on the network at work against the coworkers, that was
fun, yes. But my experience is that PvP also lacks any sort of story.
I thought the online Myst game Uru might be fun, since it was more
multi-player puzzles than multi-player killing, but it apparently never
came to fruition.
