@Sradac: Elona+ is in active development, just saying...

I dunno, I like TOME as pure combat game...I rather think I want to rather play things like Unreal World (or Elona to lesser extent) if I want noncombat elements...
Why can't TOME 4 has a secret room where you can represent game bugs as, well, enemies you can crush like in Divine Divinity? That would be cool...

You play as Melinda ten years after the events of the game. Your lover has left you to wander around in the Infinite Dungeon for eternity, leaving you with a daughter* to raise. Work with the Sher'Tul Ghost Butler in its new child-friendly chibi form to arrange your daughter's monthly schedule. Will you send her to Ungrol's Alchemy Academy during the weekdays, or would you rather have her earn her keep selling hotdogs at the Ring of Blood? And what about weekend activities: Will you have her relax at home and read in the Library of Lost Mysteries, or will you take her on a vacation to the Gates of Morning, or will you just hand her a knife and shove her through the Exploratory Farportal? Raise your daughter through the eight most formative years of her life, and watch the results of your parenting take hold! She could end up in one of dozens of professions, from prostitute to princess, serving-wench to Sorceror! A whole host of suitors will be vying for your daughter's hand once she comes of age, and its your job to help her make the right choice: Do you want to steer her away from that rebellious bad-boy Corrputor and help her win the attention of the aloof young Solipsist who doesn't seem to know she even exists? Or are you more interested in the rumors that Pale Drake has returned and is now seeking a bride? Your daughter's future is in your hands!

There's already a PrincessRL (which is actually a fantastically good game).
