A dog companion?
Volourn replied to bonarbill's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
That's one of the ugliest (and not in the good monstrous way) pics of a hell hound I ever saw. DO NOT WANT. -
"Not even the fact that you're 100 % agreeing with Volourn makes you question your opinion? I mean, it's often done that to me." So.. you hate Obsidian? Because to disagree with me would mean you hate Obsidian?.Whya re you posting on their boards if you hate them? "A lot of people including myself pre-ordered not actually seeing the end result until it was released. And also thinking we were getting a more poilished modded version of BG without having to install mods (yes, I'm lazy) since Beamdog has been working with those modders. Basically the definitive modded version of the game with new extra content. How wrong we were." When it was first announced, I was gonna be all over it. Afterall, I've been hard on BG lately but do have fun memories of it so naturally I assmued an update.. ENHANCED version would be awesome and I would gladly pay $20 for it. But, I paid attention to the deatils. And,t he details just plain sucked.What's the opposite of 'enhance'? Dehance? I now shall refer this to Baldur's Gate: Dehanced Edition.

This whole project is ridiculously trashy. Total garbage. How cna any real BG fan support such a horrid undertaking? They did not improve the game at and even made it WORSE in palces. WTF? Giving these punks 420 is your chocie but it is a foolish one. I'd rather buy more ES games and I LOATHE the ES. L0LZ

"It got so much help in the infrastructure/science/development department it's silly. With that much help any country would be strong and prosperous. O course, Israel works to mantin that, while it's enemies generally have to get there first, without it being given to them on a silver platter." Oh, please. Plentyof coutnries have gotten lots of help and they are still in crappy and subpar states. Almsot the netire continent of Africa is proof of this. Pakistan gets lots of support from the US yet are still backward. Even NK gets support from Russis yet is styill totally dictarian. Palestine gets support from multiple countries including the US yet can't get their crap together (issue between Isreal and Palestine aside). On, and on, and on.

Yeah, but hot and sunny is usaully where the hot and sunny girls try to migrate to. L0L

"Actually, with the US slowly loosing it's supermacy in the world to China, India and Russia - Israel is loosing international support. And since Israel is the ally of US, guess whom those 3 countries are msot likely to support? You can say that Israel is getting strogner - but so are the other countries. The only reason Israel exists at all is because the US backed it up with craptons of money, technology and weapons. Without that technological gap it is at a severe disadvatnage, and it won't be able to keep it up forever." L0LZ The Obsidian forums crack me up!

orzammar was awesome. Probably the best dwarven city that i can recall in a CRPG. Denerim was passable but doesn't come close to BIO's best. It might not even make BIO's top 10 cities list...
-
"Yeah, it change almost nothing in ME3, other than small point differences, a bit altered dialogue, and slight ending prerequisites reduction." L0L Another internet funnies tonight! ;D

"Every GB review I've ever read has been quality" L0L :D

Athkatla was a better city than Baldur's Gate. It felt a lot more alvie, and the npcs and quests had more depth. there was a lot more mystery and happenings in Athkata. Between the Cowled wizards, and the two thieves guilds lots was happening. And, yup, Kirkwall is vastly superior to denerim.

"It doesn't matter whether they did it on purpose, by accident or ****ing Zeus intervened. The point was that turn based was dead and left to fanatics and JRPG's of which the latter imploded after the PS2 era. DnD is a tabletop ruleset that makes no sense in a fully interactive 3D computer game. That's why the big RPG's of this generation are games like Mass Effect (which I still detest) and not any tabletop based, rules strict games. Progressive RPG's that is, not spreadsheet simulators like WoW. " You are posting gibberish. Nothing what you wrote makes any sense,. Even my constant typos make more sense. "I remember a wonderful scene in NWN when my character couldn't attack for three turns, because the turn was over by the time the 3 enemies finished their attack animations and me my dodge moves. And then I died" All the hours I've put into NWN, I've never seen this happen. *shrug*

"Bioware rightly realized at the time that it was a stupid limitation to impose on a computer game. And subsequent games, theirs and others have cut what little was left of that system." Oh, please,. You make it sound like BIo came to some genious relaiztion that TB DnD doesn't work in video games. They did no such thing. The IE was deisgned for an RTS before they knew theyw ere doing a DnD GAME. On top of that, there have been plenty of TB Dnd games that have been fantastic and done well just like there's been non TB DnD games that did crap. This stupid Tb vs RT argument is lame no matter what direction one argues in favor of.

No. No, they didn't.

This remake isn't enhanced. It's worse. It's easy tot ell that without even playing it. How the hell do you ship a game made so many years ago with so many bugs including game ending ones. Total garbage.People supporting this junk are not BG fans.

Syrian dictatorship continues slaughtering children
Volourn replied to Humodour's topic in Way Off-Topic
"I dont even see him as an "evil man" in the sense of Black and White. He does what he needs to do to stay in power. " Sounds evil to me. -
"This is not a surprise for us. We known about strong U.S./EU relations with Nazi." L0L This is the type of post that really screams for the forum to have a thumbs down button. L0L got germany and Europe the Nazis in the first place.

Garbage. Total garbage. Complete total garbage.

"o play BG1, the movies, while great for their time, are ugly as sin to look at today. " No. I played BG just a few months ago. While the game itself is passe, the videos are fine.
-
All this shows is Oyster's laziness. How cna one be so alkzy working on a project where the majority of work was already done about a dozen years ago. What a pathetic piece of crap.
-
ME3 is the best RPG release of the year despite it being the worst of the MEs and having a horrible start and an average and underrated ending. And, if my timeline is correct, FO:NV is the best RPG I first played in 2012.

"not great, as that was a surprise attack by Israel." That just proves the point that is being made. Winning a war is about more than mere numbers. It's about various things tied together that leads to avrious outcomecomes. Surprise, quality of equipment, numbers, strategy, and even luck at time all contribute to results. Thank you for proving my point.

"The Taliban are as prominent as ever and Iraq is even more destabilized now then it ever was. There has been no victory, unless you consider Saddam's death as a victory." Winning a war and holding land long term is two different things. The Taliban are nowhere enar as prominent as they used to be, and Iraq is no less stable than it used to be - unless your idea of 'stable' is having all the power in the hands of one man and his cronies. The US took out both gov't and their armies nwith ease. What were the casulaty levels like? Certainly not even and the Iraqi army folded like rinkadinks. Sorry, dude, war isn't about mere numbers. Not anymore. Nothing you wrote chanegs that. "Lets not forget that both of those nations eventually lost." That's ebcause Japan didn't have the man power to hold a vast coutnry like China. That doesn't change the fact they defated the much bigger China in a war. And, Germany didn't lose to justv Europe. They lost because non European countries like the US and Canada also pitched in. Nice try, though. Bottom line is one country was able to take on a whole continent. And, orewinde provided more evidence that your population argument is just silly. "So over 370,000,000 Muslims are ineffective in war? Because they aren't currently in the military. You do know that the majority of people fighting in both WW were civies conscripted?" Depends on their tools, absolutely yes. You do realize that the two world wars wasn't merely decided by population numbers right? Just ask the NA natives about that as well. Their numbers surely didn't help them fighting guntoting invaders. Sorry. You lose.

"as stupid as Bioware for loosing their original art..." Not stupid. BIo simply doesn't give a crap about the IE. they threw it in a trash, and for good reason. It';s old news, it's unneeded, it's nothing bot overrated nostalgia 9espicially BG1). That said, totally lame they ain't including movies and their reasoning is pathetic. But, then again, the entire projetc has been handled poorly. Then again, not surprising, since only BIO should be doing BG stuff. Nobody else can handle that responsibility - espicially the loser in charge of the EE.

"Entire Middle East population: 384,218,000 Israeli population: 7,695,000" This is 2012. Numbers aren't as important before. this isn't when Britian dominated the world by lining up their soliders across the enemies and both sides just took pot shots at each other. A huge amount of the ME populkation would be totally effective while nearly all the Isreali adult population has at least some military training plus they have a lot of war toys. Plus, Isreal has nukes. As NK, and Pakistan has shown. You can't simply invade nuke carrying coutnries even if you want to. Let's not forget that Japan conquered the much alrger China in the past, and Germany and its handful of allies dominated most of Europe and was a 'threat' to conquer the world. And, that was decades ago when the toys weren't as fancy. Afterall, the US invaded a country of 25million with what? A million of troops. And, won. Quote popualtion numbers is meaningless.

"Not even remotely the same amounts and kinds of support." L0L Isreal doesn't destroy Palestine outright ebcause it is 2012, and that sort of thing is heavily frowned upon in the modern world which Isreal wants to be a part of.
