Now I am debating between using unity, torque , or just flat out building my own engine from scratch! Has anyone here made a 2d engine, are there any pitfalls that I should be wary of. What do you guys think , should I go the whole 9 yards and just build it myself or take easy way and use an existing?

And what they would like to see in the RPGs of tomorr...

So, I was curious to find out everyone's opinion on this. How would you compare present RPG's (2d and 3d) to the old school RPG's. What do you think could be and should be improved on? What are their Pros and Cons and how do they compare across the generation gap. What improvements would you like to...
