Q: Have you ever played the mobile phone versions of Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights?
(346 votes total)
No (334) 97%
Yes (12) 3%
Considering the results of this poll it's pretty clear that practically no one here (apart from the 3% of exceptions to the rule) has played the mobile version of either Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights. Throughout this poll's run I've been getting blank stares from people who've never heard of the mobile versions, so let me point out that we've posted a few news articles on both of the games, so you can search our news archives for Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Nights Mobile if you are interested in more information. Here are also the links to official sites for both: Baldur's Gate Mobile and Neverwinter Nights Mobile.

Q: Which of the games (expansions included) covered on SP did you (re)play last?
(967 votes total)
Baldur's Gate 2 (335) 35%
Neverwinter Nights (225) 23%
Icewind Dale 2 (113) 12%
Baldur's Gate (81) 8%
Planescape: Torment (76) 8%
The Temple of Elemental Evil (73) 8%
Icewind Dale (42) 4%
Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (13) 1%
Pool of Radiance: RoMD (9) 1%
First of all, thanks to Arabwel for this really good poll idea, which has proven quite popular with the SP visitors.
The fact that the majority of those who voted (35%) (re)played Baldur's Gate 2 and/or its expansion last doesn't really come as a surprise, though the game's longevity continues to amaze me. When oh when, if ever, are we going to get another D&D CRPG with so much detail and gameplay right out of the box?
A somewhat more distant second is Neverwinter Nights and/or its expansions, (re)played last by 23% of poll participants.
Icewind Dale 2 is still reasonably popular, and has been (re)played last by 12% of the people who voted in our poll.
The original Baldur's Gate and/or its expansion is not that popular any more, but taking into account that its release was 7 years ago (lordy, lordy, I'm feeling old), it is still holding on marvelously, considering 8% of those who voted (re)played it last.
Another 8% of votes had been cast in favour of Planescape: Torment, an excellent CRPG whose kind we are not likely to see again anytime soon.
The Temple of Elemental Evil, a relatively recent release, isn't doing all that well, considering only another 8% of those who voted (re)played it last.
Near the end of the list is the original Icewind Dale and/or its expansions, (re)played last by 4% of poll participants.
The losers of this poll are Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone (the most recently released D&D game) and Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, each with 1% of votes.
Q: On a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate the expired year 2004?
(379 votes total)
3 (125) 33%
4 (94) 25%
2 (79) 21%
1 (worst) (51) 13%
5 (best) (30) 8%
We can sum up this poll by saying that the majority of poll participants (clear 33%) consider 2004 an OK year, that 34% consider it a (pretty) bad year (ratings 1 & 2 combined), and that another 33% (ratings 4 & 5 combined) consider it a (pretty) successful year. I love it when seemingly random numbers come together to form such a nice arrangement.
Just for fun, I went through the archives and dug up the results of the same poll we conducted for year 2003. While the percentages were a bit different, the numerical order (3, 4, 2, 1 and 5) was the same as this year. Here are the results of that old poll for comparison:
Overall, people have voted 2003 to be a somewhat mediocre year. The majority (40%), rated it 3/5. 29% of poll participants were a bit happier with it, rating it 4/5. 16% rated it 2/5, a pretty bad score, beaten by the 9% of those who voted the year 2003 1/5. 6% of those who voted, however, were so happy with 2003, that they rated it 5/5.
Q: Did you get any PC games for Christmas, or expect to get them for New Year?
(312 votes total)
No (186) 60%
Yes, CRPGs among them (80) 26%
Yes, but no CRPGs (36) 12%
Maybe, not sure yet (10) 3%
Curiously enough, the majority of poll participants (60%) did not get any PC games as gifts for Christmas or New Year.
26%, however, did get one or more games, with CRPGs among them.
Another 12% of those who voted also got some PC games, but not any CRPGs.
At the time of voting, only 3% of those who participated in the poll were not sure if they got/will get any PC games for Christmas or New Year.
Q: What kind of personal computer do you play games on?

Desktop (365) 81%

Q: Have you played BioWare's "Witch's Wake" Neverwinter Nights module?
(375 votes total)
No, neither version (198) 53%
Yes, the original, free version (153) 41%
Yes, the remastered, "premium" version (14) 4%
Yes, both versions (10) 3%
The majority of poll participants (53%) haven't played the original, free version of Witch's Wake Neverwinter Nights module, nor the remastered, "premium" version BioWare is now selling through their online store.
However, quite a large number of people who voted in this poll (41%) have played the original, free version of Witch's Wake.
The remaining 4% of those who voted have played only the remastered, "premium" version of Witch's Wake, and the final 3% of participants in the poll have played both the original, free version, and the "premium" version of Witch's Wake. Considering we ran this poll only a couple of weeks after the "premium" version became available, the odds certainly seem favourable for BioWare that they will make a profit with the "premium" modules.
Q: Which play aspect in a CRPG is the most important to you?
(486 votes total)
Single-player (353) 73%
Depends on the game (82) 17%
Single and Multi-player equally (34) 7%
Multi-player (17) 3%
Not surprisingly, single-player is the most important play aspect in a CRPG to the wide majority our visitors (73%) who voted in the poll.
To 17% of those who voted in our poll, the most important play aspect in a CRPG depends on what the game is like.
Only 7% of poll participants think that single and multi-player are equally important in a CRPG.

On the other hand, 13% of our visitors who voted in the poll can't stand Deekin and consider him highly annoying.

Maybe, after I read/hear some opinions on them (115) 25%
Yes, definitely (82) 18%
I would, but I don't have a credit card (63) 14%
I would if the modules didn't require online verification (42) 9%
A third of the people who voted in the poll (33%) answered that they will not buy any of BioWare's new premium Neverwinter Nights modules.
A quarter of poll participants (25%) may buy some of them, but only after they read or hear some opinions on the modules.
On the other hand, 18% of our visitors who voted in the poll are definitely going to buy some of the premium modules.
14% of those who voted say that they would buy them, but don't have a credit card, so no means of paying for the modules.
Finally, 9% of the people who voted are so bothered with the idea of online verification of the legality of the modules every time they wanted to play them, that this prevents them from buying the modules they otherwise would.

(925 votes total)
Possibly, if enough effort is put into into all aspects of the game, not just graphics (533) 58%
Doubtfully, based on my experience with CRPGs in 3D (210) 23%

Q: Which of the upcoming D&D games are you looking forward to the most?
(932 votes total)
Baldur's Gate 3 (714) 77%
Neverwinter Nights 2 (150) 16%
D&D Online (43) 5%
D&D Real-time Strategy (25) 3%
Hardly surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of poll participants (77%) are looking forward to the next Baldur's Gate the most. Since no details on who is making Baldur's Gate 3 are known at this point (apart from the fact that it is being made), we can only guess what the outcome will be like. One thing is certain, however - the expectations are very high.
Another game still shrouded in mystery, the sequel to Neverwinter Nights is being much less eagerly anticipated among our visitors who voted in the poll. Only 16% voted that they are looking forward to Neverwinter Nights 2 the most.
Dungeons & Dragons Online, the D&D MMORPG, is being most eagerly anticipated by 5% of the people who voted.
The upcoming D&D title people are least looking forward to (only 3% of the votes) is the D&D RTS, which has been renamed to Dragonshard Wars earlier this week. It'll be interesting to see what the fate of this Eberron-based RTS will be.

The poll results pretty much speak for themselves in this poll, so extensive comments are really not necessary.

The rest who do, however, seem to be most interested in the game's story, player co-operation, and quests.
