Whah! Overrated!Blasphemy!
Actually, I'm not surprised that some people find it overrated. Just like any game, there will be a specific audience that will love it unconditionally(myself included) and there will be others that never understand why some people love it so much.
I do think that part of its status in the RPG world is from the age when it came out. Compared to a lot of games today, it doesn't have anything new to offer, but at the time it came out it was cutting edge and very immersive. I know a lot of my love for it is nostalgia, but that's okay. I like having an old friend to hang out with from time to time.
