Dungeons and Dragons Online offers an experience like no other in any MMORPG.
System: 8800GTX, 680i SLi, E6600, 3GB 800Mhz RAM.
Graphics: The graphics in DDO are good looking. The dungeons are look great with all the shadows and lights. Animations are also pretty fluid. They improved the water and now it looks terrific. Some pieces of armor area dissapointing though while others can make you feel happy about using them. One of my personal favorite pieces of equipment (visual preference) is a helmet called The Tradusor. I have a very stable and high FPS no matter what. Out door environments don't look that great though. Weapons with Elements on them (+1 Flaming Dwarven Axe) look great and the particle effects are well made. Several spells look very nice also such as phantasmal killer.
Sound: Music in DDO is almost great. Taverns usually play the same song except a few like the tavern in this pirate island (forgot the name). Music is not disturbing though and is pretty well made. Sound effects such as hitting an enemy with armor or hitting the bones of a skeleton are nicely done and unique.
Combat: Combat in DDO is very fun. There is an auto-attack option, but it is best to manually hit your target. It really feels refreshing to be able to swing your big axe wherever you please. You can also block incoming hits and dodge enemies by jumping or tumbling.
Quests: Quests in DDO are probably the best in any MMO created. There are some quests that you just can't forget about them since they are so well made. They aren't just your typical "Go there kill X mobs" or "Collect X supplies". They really require thinking and provide a much refreshing experience. Also, dungeons have traps, secret doors, levers, locks to pick, ladders, underwater parts, and several other things. They have also added SEVERAL quests into the game since launch. Raids in this game are extremely well done. I haven't done them all but I really enjoyed doing the Titan raid.
Character Customization: In DDO, you can choose from a variety of options to make your character very unique and make it so that no one plays like you. You decide which feats, attributes, enhancements, and skills you want on your character. You really feel unique in this game. Character creation is pretty average for MMOs where you pick hair style, color, eye style, color, beards, facial details, noses, lips, etc.
PvP: In DDO, PvP is quite limited. You can only kill other players in tavern brawling areas and in PvP dedicated instances. To me, I only PvP to pass the time because it can be fun. Certain classes are very overpowered in PvP though such as the casters.
Overall, DDO has evolved a lot and until today is a very exciting and fun game to play. Turbine has added things like crafting also which I still need to give a try. The game is very solid and if you are looking for a different, more refreshing experience, give this game a try.
