Just out of curiosity, which pen & paper RPGs have been turned into CRPGs, and how faithful have the translations been?
Dungeons & Dragons: Too many to list, some have been incredibly faithful, others have been D&D in name only. (D20)
The dark eye: Realms of arkania trilogy & Drakensang 1 & 2 (don't know how faithful these are)
Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption was relatively faithful as far as setting goes (apart from some oddities. How many tremere elders are there in this chantry?), but the rule system was not faithful at all. Bloodlines's setting was very faithful (with a few minor nitpicks), and the rule system was somewhat faithful. (Storyteller)
Drakar & Demoner: Dragonfire: The Well of Souls (Drakar & demoner: Själarnas brunn) was too limited for the setting to really shine, and the rule system was not faithful at all. (BRP)
Traveller: Don't know much about the PC version.
Battletech/mechwarrior: 2 CRPGs, don't know how faithful they were.
Which ones have I missed (I'm sure that there are plenty), and could anyone fill in the blanks in my list?
