Adam Brennecke plays Icewind Dale II
I can record them while they're going, but then I pretty much can't use my computer for anything else (like my own gaming), since my secondary/lesser PC probably couldn't handle recording video for so long. I did record some pieces of the IWD2 yesterday, but not anywhere near all of it. A couple hours maybe. If the gaming session on Monday isn't for hours and hours I might get that tho. If I remember. Heh.

What you did today
Off for a late fall picnic/walk while it's still sunny. With some treats for the ducks, geese and squirrels. Always gotta take the critter treats.

What are you playing now
Hubs and I started the Wildlife Preservation quest path at lvl 40, reached the boss fight at lvl 41, and .... totally failed. Boss monster was lvl44 and the skags were often multiple 43 & 44 Fire/Shock BadAsses. We knew it would be hard since we were a bit underleveled - we had originally thought maybe we'd level up enough on the way there. Wrong. Took us a long time/many deaths to get to the boss arena. We tried almost everything, including me staying "up top" to Revive hubs and be support as he ran around below. I'm pretty good at getting 2nd winds but too many of those and death becomes inevitable. After about 25 hard deaths each, we quit. Meaning, we have to run the entire long path back again since the only loading-save point is at the beginning. Heheh. Not sure how to get better gear, nothing that drops has been worth a darn for the past few clvls. Hopefully the 2nd run attempt will be the charm.

Do I see guns and gunpowder ? I hope not :S
I'm not generally into "steampunk" or modern weapons in fantasy games, but I *do* like the explanation/story around why they're created and used in P.E. (anti-mage anti-mage-shield). To me that makes sense, within the framework of magic fantasy...to have researched/developed a tech in response to a magical defense that is/has become troublesome to troops. So I'm cool with it. I don't think we'll be seeing "guns, guns everywhere" or anything.

Minimizing Save scumming. Or is it too much of a hassle?
My main personal point is that I want multiple save slots. I certainly don't think anyone, on either 'side', has suggested that you can't save at all or something. But multiple save slots/files ... where I can choose to save in this slot, play for an hour, then choose to put the next save in a new slot, creating a new file. There are numerous reasons why I like/prefer multiple save files, and most of them have little to do with wanting to "cheat" the game/combat all the time, every 5 minutes or whatever. Anyway, that is what I want, and that is what I've had the impression that the 'anti-save-scumming' folk do not want. Thus, we will never see eye to eye. If I'm wrong on this, please correct me.

My PrintScreen button is getting a lot of use today. I liked the level-scaling answer ... fits my notions, at least.

Would you like it if more RPG quest logs/journals had a...
I'd love a feature like that in many games, not just RPG's. Especially if it could then save a log of all your notes, perhaps, to a txt file or something. In the "old days" I'd use up whole paper notebooks writing down information on quests, trades, skills, item locations/info, etc. Still have some of them in a closet, heh. I don't do it anymore, however. Too much work and too easy to Google-Fu the most vital info these days, if I really need it. Still, it would definitely be cool to have it in-game and keep you immersed within the game because of it.

Question for the regulars here
If it's important/comforting to you and one of your ways of honoring/remembering a loved one, that's what matters. There's nothing frivolous, pathetic, or silly about wanting to do that. I'm sorry to hear about your father, Cant. Hugs.

No chat that way though... You can pop out the chat window too. I just don't since I'm less interested in that part.

Movies you've seen recently
Hm. Do you mean that he wasn't actually on Earth in that scene? That one hadn't occurred to me, actually. By the end of the film I had concocted an elaborate theory that there were two "factions" (or something) of Engineers...one more peaceful, one more violent, and that the latter (that the crew encountered) was bent on destroying the former's work/tests for some reason. The ship designs being very different, and then the timespan of first creating the life only to test-destroy it (millions of years) makes WMD-test only seem a bit of a stretch, unless they're so long-lived that that's only like a year to them.
