Yeah, notice the smilie in my post.

I like DX because it was hard to categorize - RPG+FPS+Adventure+Tactical. The RPG system was simple enough that I didn't have to worry so much about stupid skills building and 'charisma' points or whatever. Very important: it was science fiction, not medieval fantasy - no stupid magic spells, no orcs, no dragons, no killing 50,000 rats in a crypt just to level up.
More importantly, it is made in a world that felt like it *could* be the future for us. And there are many rather bad RPG systems, that doesn't mean that every one is. RPG:s should be about playing a role, not about gaining levels and killing monsters.

If this game is a strategy I don't want it, thanks.
To be one that so often bitches about other people's closed mindedness for innovation and progress, you're quite narrowminded when it comes to game selection.
