[edit] Questionable NPOV
From the article:
The small proportion of the gaming population who have played and enjoyed Drakkhen generally consider it a classic of the RPG genre, alongside the likes of Betrayal at Krondor, Final Fantasy IV, and Baldur's Gate -- although its replay value may be slightly lower than these due to its comparative lack of depth, detail, and storytelling. Regardless, the ambience in this game in unparalleled.
There are several NPOV concerns here, including the three games chosen to represent the classics of the RPG genre (while all three games have recieved high critical acclaim, it's a rather eclectic, idiosyncratic ensemble), while the comments on depth, detail, storytelling and particular the ambience are all highly opinionated.211.27.72.91 15:52, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
I do not agree with the above comment. Although the article paragraph in question may sound as an opinion, it is a fair, accurate, and adds to the depth of the article. Since there are no good 'review' sources available, input from the community should be an acceptable substitute.Dragonlord kfb 16:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
- I'm the one who originally listed those four other games. If I am not greatly mistaken, they represent the conflux of 1990s RPG 'goodness', in terms of the following:
- Critically-renowned
- Commercially-successful
- Ground-breaking
- still played today, by many many people
- If you know of another 1990s RPG which meets those criteria, please let me know! (EverQuest qualifies)
- As for the remaining comments, which were largely penned by me: if you can do better, please do so. I personally think the article makes a fair read. Chris 02:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Music
Can someone comment on the differences between the music for the Amiga/PC version and the SNES version? For the most part, the SNES version definitely isn't "orchestral" -- it's moody and synth-driven, bordering on ambient music at times. Goldenband 03:42, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
