[gameprogrammer] Re: Favorite Game

Well I'm a not starving high school student, still with no job or money:) As 
for Morrowind I've seen both sides of that argument, Morrowind was one of 
those games you either liked or you didn't. However myself, I like KOTOR, 
but I thought it was too linear and not involving enough. For instance your 
alignment rarely had any effect until you got towards the end, and giving 
people bad responses simply made them stop talking to you, it never got you 
arrested or anything though.
