[QUOTE="Durelen, post: 1298510, member: 14371"] With the overtones of paganism and magic/sorcery I would say at the least it is questionable in light of scripture. Sure its just a game but Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do. Isaiah 47:9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. 10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.12 Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail. 13 Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. There are many more references but those two are pretty clear. I dont really mess with most of those games any longer and if your Mom thinks you should stay away from such games then I would say she speaks wisely. I cant say I entirely stay away from games with this element because I do play (have played) some MMORPGs that have it. I dont really play casters though (personal preference) and mainly play for the social reasons. A lot of the regular RPGs seem pretty dark in my opinion and Im turned off by most of them. Oh and I played Diablo 2 as well but thats one game that really turned me off and wound up hardly being played until I wiped it off my computer. Right now I have Never Winter Nights on my computer that basically is a repeat of what happened with Diablo 2. Im starting to learn how not to waste my money. [/QUOTE]
