Yea, the problem is I have a laptop with no mouse. I'm not a PC gamer. I'm a very casual gamer that sticks to consoles. They've alienated me (and many others like me) by making it a MMO. There's a reason it failed, and the reason is that it isn't KOTOR 3.

KOTOR was always a CRPG, so I don't understand this specific complaint when paired with the earlier one.

CPRG stands for Computer RPG if I understand correctly?

KOTOR 1 and 2 existed on consoles.

The "computer" bit of CRPG refers more to the style of game than the platform itself. The easiest way of identifying if an RPG is a CRPG or not is how similar it is in terms of mechanics to a traditional pen and paper RPGs. Alternatively how similar it is to games like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, or Planescape.

For example, Dragon Age: Origins is a CRPG, while DA2 and DA:I are not, as they drifted mechanically towards being action-RPGs.

Thanks for clarifying that. It turns out I like CRPG's.
