Re: Current other active game software
I've been following the development of Hinterland, a kind of village builder/party-based Roguelike hybrid. The flavor seems similar to the more classic fantasy, like Dominions - less elves and fireballs and more nymphs and steel. Otherwise, I've been playing Company of Heroes and Scrabble.

Re: Current other active game software
I've recently been distracted by Civ IV, after getting my hands on the 'Complete' edition (imported from EU -- the 'Gold' one available in the US only has one of the two expansions).

Re: Current other active game software
Speaking of Baldur's Gate - has anyone played a game of that type lately? Party based RPG

Re: Current other active game software
Every now and then I load NWN2 on my PC but can never decide on a character to play. I miss BG/BG2: those were good games. I also was a big fan of MM6 - loved the Fly spell and motoring around knocking griffons out of the sky. Can't believe how linear all the new games are. I just want to frikken fly man!!

Re: Current other active game software
Dom3 is way out of genre for me. The last game I was really into was Silent Hunter III, a WWII submarine sim. Stumbled on Dom3 while getting Steel Panthers from Shrapnel.

I occasionally play NWN2, too. But BG series games were better. Most single-player RPGs have gone down in quality, probably because resources are now being shifted to MMORPG.

I got tired of Civ IV very quickly, because of 1) the badly balanced units, and 2) the too-simple, restricted character of the tactical battles.

Do you play with all the expansion packs? Civ IV is a very Deep Game. I believe it is anything but simple. Try the expasion packs and increase or decrease dificulty or Create a map that suits your needs.
