What are your favourite areas in RPGs? Describe them a little.
Yet again it seems that PS:T, for me, takes the cake for this particular element.
1. Clerk's Ward. The rich ward of PS:T. It really captured the magic. Artist and actors performing, wealthy people enjoying themselves. Various buildings of entertainment that offer services to the bored members of the upper layers. Damnit, I love that place. It had a certain feel to it.
2. The Hive or the poor area of PS:T. As the first one this ward also captured the suffering and poverty of the unfortunete people. Everyone doing whatever they can to just survive. Thugs and other scum all over the place.
3. The snake cult dungeon of IWD 1. Pardon that I dont know the exact name. IWD should be on the top RPG lists just for this area. It is a beautiful dungeon, very good art. What was special about it was the EXTREME collar-grabbing combat. I have honestly not experienced such intense combat in any game before or after, not even in the action games. You must try it yourself to see it. You fight alongside another party and the enemies just keep pouring and pouring. You really got a feel of a war going on. You have to experience it.
There are probably more. Of these 3 I would have to say that the IWD area is the most impressive. The combat in IWD is far better than in BG 1/2(more difficult too). There are many hidden gems in this game but it is generally overlook. If you havent yet played IWD I suggest you do.
Its quite ironic that my favourite ares are from the 2D games. They should have gone more with the 2D instead of rushing to the 3D. Naturally the retards of game journalists all had gushing orgasms over it ("ZOMG NWN R 3D BESTEST GAEM GOTY HAHA TOEE LOOKZ SO OLD"). You just cant have the equel art direction and convert it to 3D without losing the details. This is yet again a reason why games of today cant be art. In the days of yore the backrounds were actual paintings, now we have generic corridors.
Since Volourn is allowed to praise ME as the best future RPG, I will nominate ME as the game that will hold the most generic places since NWN 1.
