A game where not only the world is procedurally generated, but the monsters are as well !
AND the game AI "builds" the monsters to counter your "standard" strategy, so you can't find a winning tactic and stick to it, you have to constantly adapt as the monsters and their abilities change...

Kyleran: "Now there's the real trick, learning to accept and enjoy a game for what it offers rather than pass on what might be a great playing experience because it lacks a few features you prefer."
John Henry Newman: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one could find fault."
FreddyNoNose: "A good game needs no defense; a bad game has no defense." "Easily digested content is just as easily forgotten."
LacedOpium: "So the question that begs to be asked is, if you are not interested in the game mechanics that define the MMORPG genre, then why are you playing an MMORPG?"
