Why is this RPGkino so unknown and underrated while Diablo 2 was extremely popular?
>>
Nox has very little actual depth.

Don't ever use that meme term to discuss this game, you freak of nature.
>>
>>385193145
Nox was far more entertaining in DM-style multiplayer because it lent itself well to a fast-paced game that it was,

I liked this game. I liked that it had three separate single player routes, for the Warrior, Conjurer, and Wizard. I think Nox may have actually been the very first game I ever played online.

I remember meeting a Wizard named Gandalf and then seeing another Wizard named Gandalf in another game and trying to talk to him like he was the same guy, because I was eleven and retarded. My dad had to explain what Lord of the Rings was to me.

The only reason anyone liked it was because of the multiplayer, which I have no experience with. From a singleplayer perspective, it was trash.

>8 hour long campaign that leaves no real impression
>the difficulty is trivial
>three "different" campaigns, but they are almost identical aside from your character
>the awful storyline (probably the most memorable part of the game)
>no memorable characters aside from the final boss for the waifufags and the balloon guide guy
>forgettable enemies
>equipment is uninteresting and samey throughout the entire game
>the perspective
>horribly low quality sound and music
>generic music

It is no surprise that Nox was made under EAified Westwood. It probably had its budget gutted and rushed out before they could actually make a decent game.
>>
>>385192960
Best part of the game was multiplayer and Nox didn't had initial success to catch popularity, so it fizzled out too.

>Backed by Westwood's creative talent
>Diablo 2
>Backed by Blizzard's marketing power
That's why. Nox was fun as fuck, but word of mouth back in the year 2000 wouldn't be enough to have it gain traction.
It didn't have Blizzard marketing hype nor the addictive hooks of grinding for stupid gear that let Diablo 2 stand around for years.

>backed by Blizzard, a company that was starting to really take off with fantastic titles like Starcraft and Diablo, which would be remembered for decades to come for their quality

I don't get why you'd think Nox would ever be popular. It was an incredibly sterile game controlled by advertisers. That it had any lasting popularity is a miracle in itself.

Nox came out before DII. Both are great games but Diablo will last you much longer. Baldurs gate and II remain king in the RPG genre though (except for dragpnspear dlc, that game is a pile of shit.)

Wow, I too enjoy not having fun.

SoA is fun as fuck though.

The most underrated ARPG ever. RIP Westwood.

We used to have multiplayer games with a group of people on /v/ back in the day. Conjurer fucking sucks but you get so many bears.
