Diablo saved the computer RPG genre?
An overrated statement for an overrated game, that's all.

Drakensang was probably the very, very last non-Indie complex C-RPG.
I guess before Drakensang you thought that NWN2 was the very, very last CRPG?

NWN2 -> 2006
DRASA1 -> 2008
DRASA2 2 -> 2010
Okay, you are right in so far that DRakensang 2 was onl 2 years after NWN2.
Drakensang 2 was 4 years after NWN2, and this is the game I actually had meant with saying "the very, very las old school RPG".
Baldur's Gate was the true savior of the genre, in my opinion. I've never finished BG, mostly because I'm not a big fan of Minsc, Jaheira, etc. Crpgs were getting fewer and fewer releases before BG reinvigorated the market. Diablo and MMO's killed our niche genre and turned it into something lesser for the unwashed masses.
I was just pointing out that, considering the low amount of such games during the past 10 years, you should perhaps wait a few more years before declaring the latest release as "the very very last ever". Or did you just mean it's the "latest" one, as in released most recently?

I agree completely about Baldur's Gate. Betrayal at Krondor was another game from that period that made an impact, IMO.
also fallout kicks baldur's gate's arse..i LOVE BG but fallout is ahead of it even.
