Octopus Overlords 2004 Community Awards {RPG}

Post by naednek »

RULESOnly vote once. If you do not see a game you thought deserves the award please write it in. Only list 1 game, anyone who lists multiple games, I will pick the first one listed as your choice

This is for PC games released in 2004. After the 10 days of polling is up, I'll tally up the votes and announce the winner.

Please keep comments or concerns in this thread, that way it's easier for me to sort out the votes. http://www.octopusoverlords.com/phpBB2/ ... 7536#97536

In a world beyond imagination...

In their immeasurable greed and constant thirst for power, the thirteen most powerful Mages of all time doomed the land, hurling it into an endless spiral of chaos and despair. Entire countries were wiped out in the blink of an eye when the devastating power of the Elements was unleashed – Elements summoned by dark rituals. Continents shattered like glass, the pieces strewn about like leaves in the wind. Huge armies, bound by the the power of ancient runes, brought war and destruction to the lands that survived the initial onslaught. All that was left were a few islands, connected by magic portals.

Now, only a few years after the end of the Convocation, evil is back – stronger and more powerful than ever before – to finish what was started.

Yet there is still hope. The prophecies tell of a human. A human damned to immortality, bound forever by the power of the blood runes…

Soon, the time will come when the power of one may change the destiny of many. For better or for worse...

Vampires: Bloodlines
Seamlessly combining role playing with intense first-person action combat, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines allows players to become a dangerous creature of the night as they assume the role of a recently embraced fledgling vampire in the service of the city's dark prince.

Players begin their journey into darkness by choosing to play as any of seven different vampire clans. Each clan in the game offers a distinctive set of skills, traits and abilities including: supernatural speed, stealth, invisibility, mind control, inhuman strength, combat, and stamina, each of which will be further refined as players progress through the game. Players will earn and apply experience points to increase their powers and skills, allowing them to create their ultimate creature of the night, from stealthy hunter to seductive charmer to a feral, brutal killing machine.

I must respectfully withhold my vote. Vampire was the best of the bunch, but it doesn't deserve recognition due to the poor endgame and deplorable release state.

KOTOR was released in November of '03, not in 2004.

The SP RPG group was utter crap this year. So I vote for World of Warcraft.
