No more enormous cities that only have guild halls, weapon stores, and churches. The game Neverwinter Nights looks like a promising step in that direction. For me, I'll stick with the traditional role-playing game for a while.

Agreed, regarding the reasons why a CRPG is not a true RPG. (And the blue box set! Oh, the memories!)

I too am eagerly looking forward to Neverwinter Nights, not least because I've been working with a group to design a persistent world for NWN. If I can beat the "high-magic-world" faction into submission, it'll be the BETS GAEM EVAR. :-) (If you'd care to, FP, ping me sometime and I'll spill a little more about the project.)
