This. DA2:s problems werent in the writing, the changed perspective, or even the lack of influence on the game world.

Was that with ranking of those 25?

Otherwise you might end up with the "good game that most people played" as a winner. A top 10 or top 5 would force people to choose the games they consider…

There's no contest in that department. Morrowinds combat is quite bad, while Oblivions is fine.

Fair enough, I have no problem whatsoever with that. I'm not even sure that our experiences are all that different. I have no problems pointing out a ton of flaws in Morrowind, Baldur's Gate or other…

Skyrim obviously presents the questlines better (MW is limited here for a number of reasons, technology and manpower included). MWs presentation is mostly text-only, similar to the stories of the…

Are there any mods that increase NPC and fauna density? I find it a bit silly when Ulfric storms Solitude after giving a speech in front of five soldiers or so.

IIRC both of the earlier games scaled down monster XP rewards as you levelled up, similar to 3rd edition ADD. I remember grinding Wyverns in the Witcher 1 (500 xp apiece when you first come across…

I found the setting interesting and the ruleset promising on paper, but the combat (which you'll spend most of the time on in any RPG) was too repetitive and attritive for my taste.

This. Dark Sun is fairly close to the infinity engine games in many ways.

Last time I beat the red dragon I used Elanee's "drown" spell to take it down to manageable HP, while all other casters spammed it with various area attacks.

I dont really see the complexity of the 2nd edition AD&D. There are some inconsistencies in the way dice rolls are used (sometimes low numbers are bad, sometimes high), but the system itself is…

This. You'll want to go back and train as soon as you have the XP to gain a level or you might waste experience.

Money simply fulfill the role of being a trading interface, a universal barter unit.

Scrap it and you'd need a similar concept or you'd need to go back to a barter economy.

IIRC they dont add to the AC bonus from armour. Equip both and only the best item makes a difference.

IIRC Scouting was pretty useful.

I used an editor to max out the stupid utility skills (scouting and whatever is needed to open locks and disarm traps). Minigames arent my cup of tea at all.
