Yes, that and the sequel were fantastic games, and ate many an evening while I was doing my PhD. Likewise Deus Ex and sequel; I never really got in to the Thief sequence. The most recent couple I played were Dungeon Siege and its sequel, but those are basically the same experience as reading the D&D Monster Manual: umpteen different kinds of monsters from umpteen different landscapes come at you, you hit them with axes, they die, they drop a slightly better axe for you, and you proceed to a slightly different landscape in which slightly different monsters are drawn to your beckoning axe.
