If you were to list the three words that symbolize Armageddon to you, that convey what keeps you playing, what would they be?

I don't know about three words that encompass everything, but "dynamism" was one that immediately popped into my head.

Amos, tall, and muscular.

Kidding of course.

For me it would be immersive, brutal, and intrigue
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Meaningful - I like how the game really has meaning.
Story - Everything and everyone in the game has a story behind them (or, I like to think of it this way.)
Roleplaying - Some of the best roleplaying I've ever seen.
October 12, 2006, 12:38:04 PM #41
Brilliant.

Immersive.

Darwinian.
I seduced the daughters of men
And made the death of them.
I demanded human sacrifices
From the rest of them.
I became the spirit that haunted
And protected them.
And I lived in the tower of flame
But death collected them.

For me, the 3 most important things that keep me hooked onto Arm are:

1) Constantly-evolving-world

2) Ever-increasing-realism

3) Labyrinthine-plotlines


and last but not the least

4) hyphenated-words are a-ok !!
