In Antwort auf:
Will you buy an RPG just by the fact that it is an RPG?
No. But being a RPG increases the probability that I will buy it 
In Antwort auf:
How do you decide to buy an RPG?reviews,word of mouth, forums?
Mostly word of mouth, sometimes even just walking through the shop, look at the boxes and ask the dealer (well, only in two special shops where I know those who sell there).
In Antwort auf:
Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors?
Never, at least never in the first go through. Later perhaps to see what else is possible.
In Antwort auf:
Do you use walk throughs?
No. And if I get stuck completely I try finding resources (e.g. something like this board here) where I can post specific questions.
In Antwort auf:
Do you download the latest patch before you start a game?
When I find it: Yes.
In Antwort auf:
Do you prefer single character or party?
Depends on the game and the layout. Both things are interesting.
In Antwort auf:
Do you prefer single player or multipalyer?
Single player. For multiplayer, I prefer Pen&Paper

Will you buy an RPG just by the fact that it is an RPG?
No. Diablo series is tagged as RPGs, and so is Dungeon Siege. That does not make them anything more than action games with stats and levels.
How do you decide to buy an RPG?reviews,word of mouth, forums?
I mostly buy them on a whim. This is how I picked up PS:T and DD.
Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors?
Yes, because there are occasions when bugs occur and some of your items go poof, or a quest is not solvable, etc.
Do you use walk throughs?
Only when I have to.
Do you download the latest patch before you start a game?
Yes.
Do you prefer single character or party?
Both have their appeals. Single character is a bit lonely, though, and a party offers more tactical creativity. (Bar Dungeon Siege, mind you. I've never played a more mindless piece of horse manure. Dungeon Sige makes Diablo 2 look good.)
Do you prefer single player or multipalyer?
I'm anti-social, and have stomached all the multiplayer I want to from things like EQ. Besides, I don't work well with other people.

It increases my chance to look at it, and depends on reviews, and if my friends have it, then i would ask my friends...
Quote:

Basically, by the reviews...and by friends
Quote:
Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors?
Yes, but only if im stuck, like in a dungeon, but no way out, and the boss is impossible to beat, and i have tried to kill it about 100 times
Quote:
Do you use walk throughs?
Yes, if im stuck, and i've tried everyting
Quote:
Do you download the latest patch before you start a game?
no...for some reason, I always do that in the middle of the game, i guess im to excited to download the patch...
Quote:
Do you prefer single character or party?
for now i like playing single player, im tired of BG type engine( even though its a great game )
Quote:
Do you prefer single player or multipalyer?
Both, I like multiplayer if its free, and my connection is good, and i like single player because i like to complete the game by myself...

Will you buy an RPG just by the fact that it is an RPG? NO, but it does increase the chances of buying How do you decide to buy an RPG?reviews,word of mouth, forums? Reviews tops the list, then Forums, demos & word of mouth Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors? NO, only as a last resort if completely stuck, or on the second time through Do you use walk throughs? NO to Seldom, prefer other sources- forums Do you download the latest patch before you start a game? YES, if available and able to locate one Do you prefer single character or party? Single, Party, Both- depends on the game Do you prefer single player or multipalyer? Single player, mulit-player oever the net if it cost nothing Most people like to know a little about a game other than the fact that it's an RPG and this is found out through game reviews and forums. It is great to see that people do not use cheats/hacks and try to play the game without outside help for the most part. There are times when one does need some help and can find it on a forum for the game. Single player has both advatages and disadvantages or a party and vise-versa, but it seems single player is the most choosen. Single player beats out multi-player unless it is for free, (free? what's that).
My hope for these questions is that Larian Studios will see them and take them into consideration in there next game after RiftRunner.
Thanks everyone for you input. I am glad to see that I am not the only one that shops and plays RPG this way.

Will you buy an RPG just by the fact that it is an RPG? Nope. How do you decide to buy an RPG?reviews,word of mouth, forums? Word of mouth from forums mostly. Do you cheat/ use hacks/editors? Nope. Do you use walk throughs? Only when I get truly stuck. Do you download the latest patch before you start a game? Yup. Do you prefer single character or party? Depends. I think party play gives greater versatility though. Do you prefer single player or multipalyer? Single most of the time. I will play with my friends, helping each other out can be very good fun. Multiplayer internet games should have a feature where BOTH people agree before dueling IMO.
