Feist only gave permission for the use of his characters. He had no input into BaK. And Sierra only published it. The work was done by a team at a subsidiary that had complete control of their own choices, Dynamix.

If you want to see who really was responsible, check out the manual for the Dynamix's development team.

Borodin I read you mention that this is one of your top five RPG's of all time. Although this may not be the proper forum for it, I wanted to ask you what the other four are. You seem to be very knowledgeable on the subject.

BTW, I used to go to my best friends house as a child to play this game, a King's Quest title or two, lots of Quest for Glory, Dune, Dune 2, and Eric the Unready. This game brings back fond memories even though we never really accomplished much on it.

That's a matter of perspective, and what you want from the game...but generally, Fallout series (except 3 perhaps), TES series (especially Morrowind), Might and Magic 4-6, and Baldur's Gate series make into most of these top RPG lists.

Edit: And forgot Gothic series...

There are many just as knowledgeable, here, and some with far greater knowledge in some areas--but as you wish it, sahib, so shall it be. I'll even had 5 more rather than 4, and in no particular order:

King of Dragon Pass is an astonishing RPG/strategy hybrid. I only wish it had sold better, but it appeared only on the Web, and at a time when you still couldn't make a living doing that.

Ultima VIIa.

Darklands.

Planescape: Torment

Morrowind (with plenty of mods)

...or, if you won't allow mods:

Baldur's Gate II. (Though there are some damn fine mods for BG2, as well. They just cover fewer aspects of the game.)

If you had fun, that's what counts. Don't let any powerplayer tell you otherwise.
