TOEE or Masquerade: anyone here play these? Comments?

I just beat Arcanum and thinking of buying Temple of elemental evil and Masquerade. Are these any good?

I used to play WOW you guys ever play that?

 

Grab VtM:B and patch it up a little. Great game with great characters, a pretty good plot, and a kick ass soundtrack. Very little Sabbat representation though, which is my biggest gripe. Never played TOEE, but I heard it's way buggy. Oh wait, this is a Troika forum so I guess that goes without saying. Still, I'd rather put up with bugs than piss poor game design.

...and MMORPGs are the Devil. The Devil I say. Rot your teeth out, they will.

 

Yeah I'm still playing it on official servers, even if I realized it's not that good. In the end it's only about mindless grinding... But I can't say it didn't keep me busy for more than 2 years :roll:

 

what exactly is grinding?

 

killing things repeatedly in one area for gold and xp. waiting for them to respawn then doing it again. it's boring, but sometimes you just need those motes of water

 

you just kill lots of monsters to level up...wow feels great when you beat it. aka lvl 70 and some epics. but its not as fun as say, enjoying a real game like arcanum.

 

Once you get 70 and tried few classes, wow is only a stupid drug. If you think of it, there's an huge lack of atmosphere and freedom. The main plot is okay but that's it... In PvE you grind bosses, which are fun only for the first times. In PvP you grind other players, that is fun only for the first days :/

Anyways this is seriously off-topic since this is supposed to be an Arcanum Discussion thread
