OB1, can you read? I said "their next PC RPG". Which is Dragon Age. For PC. Which I mentioned several times before recently. Idiot.

As for the rest, thanks for reading what I had to say and considering my reasons for why 2d is better... sure looks like you paid (no) attention... it's not just about not wanting change. But you don't care about understanding my point, as usual, so I don't think I'll bother explaining a second time. At least not all of the stuff you never bothered to respond to... maybe I will quote some posts? :)
I cannot understand how you can possibly say that there are no advantages to top-down for party based RPGs. If I didn't know better I'd say that you haven't played any, because it's so obvious that there are some huge advantages to having a more overhead perspective... but other than that I can't think of any good reasons for how you could possibly think that way. I have a party of TWO and I'm already finding a lot of things (particularly in combat, but also somewhat out of it) to complain about because of problems related to a third person perspective... I can barely imagine how horrible a third person perspective would be with a party of five or six!
Or maybe my "mistake" is actually wanting to tell all of my characters what to do in the fight like you should in an RPG and not just leaving the other one to the AI? If that's your answer... well, let's just say that it's not good.
But what really annoys me is that I make several really long posts and you respond with barely a couple of sentences. Didn't want to do all that reading?
