From what I have seen PC gaming doesn't care too much about the WRPG anymore. The Witcher was a step in the right direction but just didn't do it for me the way these games did.
I really hope Bioshock leads more developers to copy the Deus Ex style of gameplay, I miss the rpg elements and challenge in games. Not the ability to pull off instant headshots but the ability to think. I haven't really played in a universe as funny as Fallout's or as expansive and beautiful as Morrowinds. They both nailed the politics, culture, and religons of their respective worlds so well.
Oblivion was so...hollow to me. The leveling system really broke that game for me. I mean, you can beat oblivion...the entire game, as a level 1 character. IN FACT, it would be EASIER to beat it as a level 1 character than a level 50 character.
Who made that decision? Seriously?
I digress though, do you guys think this genre is slowly dying? I am playing Mass Effect right now though and have some hope, it's enjoyable for the most part so far. Not to big a fan of the guns and shooting though.
