With They Create Worlds having tackled the early influence of D&D on video games, what better time than to air out some thoughts on the first CRPGs?
The information on the internet is extremely confused but I think we can get quite close to answering this difficult question. #videogamehistory #rpg
@[email protected] Did the character statistics in those early games serve character customization or were they more in the background?
@[email protected] You couldn’t allocate stats most of the time, so it wasn’t user driven customization.
As far as I understand, most stats did affect gameplay, if some in more minor ways than others. I defer to playthroughs by others on that - I have yet to sink my teeth into these games more than briefly testing.
