Things we've learned from RPG games

A nights sleep will take you back to full health.

Wearing the skimpiest of outfits does not raise any indications of disproval!

Its perfectly okay to expect to be the centre of attention. After all, nothing happens without your involvment.

And don't forget, the skimpier the outfit, the better it protects you in battle!

Leave it to a party of 17-18 year olds to defeat the mega-lo-maniac Demon Lord From Hell, where entire armies of elite crack soldiers fail. Apparently, swords, knives and whips can cause more damage than rockets, shells and bullets.

The vampire that you find sleeping inside a dark, haunted evil mansion always turns out to be a good guy, willing to join your party and your quest for justice and freedom.

It never occurs to anyone that locked doors can be blown open by the party's gun-toting member.

No one ever freezes to death when a frozen wasteland is explored, not even the heroine who wears nothing but a bra and skimpy miniskirt.

That last one isn't quite true. In some games your health drops while in certain environments. A good example of that is GuildWars.

That's pretty advanced. Haven't played Guild Wars, nor encountered this in any of the (j)RPGs I've played, so I wouldn't have known.

You definitely should give Guild Wars a try.

Teho and myself have been playing it since it came out. I've not played it for a few months now though, and I don't know about Teho, but if other classicamiga members wanted to start playing I bet we would both want to get back into the game and join you. And having advanced game characters, we could offer a lot of help in the game.
Also Guild Wars 2 is due out soon which is meant to offer a lot of improvements over the original so I will be very interested in getting that and playing.
