Ragnarok Online Preview
By ragnarok-zeny-10m, 09:34To role-playing purists, the term "video game RPG" is a bit of a
misnomer. The original pencil-and-paper RPGs, like Dungeons and
Dragons, encouraged players to build their characters' stats, amass
riches and magical weapons, and explore all the possibilities of the
open-ended environment they presented. Playing an RPG in video game
form still lets you assume the role of a character and build up his or her
strengths as a fighter, but in terms of movement and behavior, you're
constrained to the clearly defined path the developer has laid out for you.
Completing your next objective and advancing the plot is a matter of
going from A to B, and if you talk to anyone along the way, your character
will spout out exactly what he or she is scripted to say. Ragnarok Video
gameRPGs are fun, sure, but their inherent lack of freedom runs
contrary to the true spirit of role-playing.This is the standard overhead
view in Ragnarok Online. You'll spend a lot of time looking at that
mop-topped little guy.Ragnarok
