I should be more specific, as what I just described applies to roughly 100% of role-playing games. I never did finish Blizzard's isometric dungeon crawler, I didn't sink an endless number of hours gathering virtual items, nor did I bother playing all of the classes. Was there another, different game ten hours in? Is it possible that I didn't play enough to form a reasonable opinion? I don't know - I just didn't like it. I won't use the hardware limitations of the time as an excuse, I don't always need flashy cinematics to be drawn into a game, but I do expect some degree of variety. Several hours in I had some pretty impressive spells and largely decent gear, but I was bored out of my skull. Is this all I'm going to do in this titan gold game?
