thats why i said FIRST-PERSON VIEW and not FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER, cuz i was talking about the view point mode that you can have in Gothic 3 and that is present in the Might and Magic series or Arx Fatalis, which are not FPS games, but more like FPRPGS.

No one cares if Gothic 3 is FP if it sucks.

sheesh, i only used it as an example, first-person view RPGing isnt exactly usual stuff nowadays, if you dont count Dark Messiah into the genre, which i dont. :amused:

but personally i thought Gothic 3 was OK, didnt have problems with bugs or anything else, sure, G1-2 was better but G3 was playable for me.

alrighty then, back on topic.

Anvil of Dawn is an FPV RPG, and is mainly based inside dungeons/castles.

Aha? Are you kidding me? Most RPGs today are crappy action-RPG type fairs with a few of them third person, but there's no difference in that really.

Mass Effect, Oblivion, Two Worlds. All that tripe, there's even more being released like that new hype-queer Alpha Protocol or whatever that overrated piece of trash company Bioware is creating.

Anyways, if you're not going to count Dark Messiah, then you might just as well throw the games I mentioned in there, since they're action games.

dont disagree with ya there. all of the new RPGS that get released nowadays are crappy hype fests. Even Oblivion was kinda crappy, and i always loved the Elder Scrolls series since Arena.

but since the topic creator asked after Ultima Underworld type of games (First-Person View Dungeon Crawler) i gathered that he wanted the First -Person View gaming and would be interested in testing other "RPG" games where you can use FPV (First-Person View), and since Arx Fatalis was mentioned earlier i instead hinted that Gothic 3 had FPV by choice, who knows, maybe he likes it?

never intended for my post to become a slugfest with anyone.
i shall go back and just read the posts from now on, easier that way and no one needs to get angry on me.

/Agree, on both counts. RPGs these days seem to be missing the whole STORY thing, which has made many RPGs classics. From a strict standpoint of gameplay, however (and not considering Arx Fatalis), the Rlder Scrolls series is the closest cousin to UW - They are both designed to play in FP perspective, and have engines that directly interact with your environment (picking up items, using terrain to your advantage, etc.) But yeah, Oblivion's lack of story-telling depth and it's razor-fine shallow main story doomed it to "pretty hack and slash RPG" status.
