General News - RPGS: How Far Have We Come @ Hellforge

What happens when a former Hellgate: London fansite plays some old classics and compares them to Oblivion?  This:

Our old geezer RPG group would label this as "shallow" and "easy," undermining the idea behind what an RPG is, citing about how in Baldur's Gate you can get lost right from the start of the game. Of course, that was the point, wasn't it? Why Baldur's Gate is only a cult classic? I mean, scratch the generic and boring plot that unfolds at the beginning of the game that is even a mystery to the player, but after you leave that city you may as well be stumbling around in the dark like Ray Charles. I don't know about you but that's not my idea of fun, which is a central theme in games I hear, and, sure enough, I chucked Baldur's Gate to the side after a half hour into the game, lost, and constantly getting killed. That cryptic journal with zero directions wasn't "fun" either.
