A call for Unity

I have a constant urge to write a game of some type and have tried to learn a few languages
Python, Php, Ruby, VB, C# and Java most recently but C# was the most successful i think as i managed to get a basic top down 2d game editor written but then there was a version mismatch between the tutorial and the compiler i had and frustration won the day.

I found a game creation tool/suite called Unity 3D this week and it seems very easy to use so far, It comes with a lovely premade island to explore that i'm having fun altering to learn the various effects of the tools. I had lots of fun with particle effects and made a tower of multi coloured smoke that must have drifted up for miles. A video tutorial from the splash screen showed importing from Photoshop and 3Ds max that looked so simple i'll have to give it a go some time soon.

Im hoping if i can persevere with it long enough to write a very basic RPG with some kind of crafting system. I would love to get it to work like Wurm online but thats a pipedream if ever there was one.
