Radial menus are awesome! Awessomeeeeeeeeeeee!

Worst gameplay decision ever? Exaggeration if I ever saw one. Besdies, D&D is suoppsed to be played 1 player = 1 character. D&D tends to lose part its role-playing charm when you start allowing players to play more than 1 character. That should be reserved to more dungeon delving games. Not that I mind multi character games as evidenced of my enjoyment of the IE and GB games; but the GB games were nothing more than glorified dungeon hacks (with few exceptions), and the IE games while better in the role-playing department weren't classic D&D either. Aurora's gaemplay was awesome. Some of the best gameplay ever. And, while the graphics weren't awesome; theyw ere more than solid. NWN2's graphics are better though yet some of NWN1's special effects and melee combat look and sound cooler. "NWN2 seems to be based on the KotOR engine." NWN2 is based on NWN1.

"THe demo represents about 1% of the game man, not fair to judge it on that" Disagree. Otehrwise, what's the point of a demo? Its to see if you like the game or not and to determine if it's worthy of a purchase. I am playing NHL 08, The Witcher, and will be playing Mass Effect very soon...

"I really don't understand the love for HOTU????" Fun combat, lots of cool (but epically over powered equipment), interesting characters, C&C, LOTS of endings, you don't have to kill the last boss to complete the game, and so on. I agree that Undermountain wasn't done justice (espicially in some ways); but it wasn't bad. "I would go like this - MOTB best DnD game since BG2, NWN2 OC, KOTOR, SOU, HOTU, NWN OC" I'd go like this: 1. MOTB + HOTU (tie) 2. NWN2 OC 3. NWN1 OC 4. TOEE + SOU (tie). KOTOR isn't D&D (though it's D20). I'd rate it (and KOTOR2) around NWN1+2 level.

HAHA! Lots of people have complained about that. Thre ebiggest complaints about ME thus far from thsoe who have played it are: 1. Horrible inventory. 2. Combat is stat based and not 'shootery' enough. 3. Slow ass elevators aka loads.

"A man who believes he has greater burdens than a woman is like a white man who believes they are more discriminated against than a black man. Believing it doesn't make it so." O RLY? So the white fellow who grows up in a predominately black neighourhood is gonna be less descriminated than a black man living in the same neighbourhood. Your attitude of 'white people can't be victims of racism' is a joke. Anyways, back on topic. What was done to the girl by the perp(s) is wrong. No doubt about it. But, they didn't kill her. She killed herself. At best, they're guilty of harassment; but not of murder or manslaughter or whatever other bogus charge people wnat to throw at them out of sheer disgust and what not. And, no, that's not me approving of their actions.

Nowhere to the same degree, though. "rosetinted glasses etc." Nah. That's not true. If it were, I (and the others) would be saying that NWN1 does everything better than NWN2. That simply isn't true. NWN2 does many things better than NWN1 (and vice versa). In the case of the caemera (control), NWN1 wins this. On the surface, it may seem the same; but it sure doesn't feel like it. P.S. Finished MOTB. Pretty good. I'm going back and forth trying to figure out if I prefer MOTB or HOTU as the best NWN series expansion. It's a tough call. Still, definitely better than NWN OC, SOU, and NWN2 OC. And, trumps both KOTORs.

"Witcher's lack of character creation wasn't the reason why I didn't get it. I am kind of... burnt out on CRPGs and I wanted to play something that didn't use the NWN engine." I cna't speak much on The Witcher's quality as I have only played it for like 10 minutes thus far (will changed as I just finished MOTB); but while it uses the Aurora; graphically it looks much different than NWN1. Unlike NWN2 which you can tell that while NWN2's graphics are better than NWN1's that it is still Aurora at the core. Same cna't be said for The Witcher.You would ahve to look really close to see the similarities graphically. Same cna't be said for The Witcher. "Anyhoot, you guys convinced me that my EA boycott was futile so I bought my first EA game in 10 years. Crysis." Good on you. The only policy a gamer should have is buy the games you think will be fun.

Sand, you are mean to me. If I kill myself (I'm not 'cause I don't go for that); should my family hold you responsible?. or vice versa. I've said mean things to you. If you kill yourself (i hope you don't; I'm not worth it); should I be punished by the law?

"He's not going to put butts in the seats and is too old to play the outfield." Simply not true. He's not in his prime; but he's still popular and still pretty darn good player. As for this ridiculousness, people should get over it. I simply don't care if he took steroids. Intentionally, or not. What a pathetic thing for people to whine over. Gah.

"I am not saying he should be charged for murder but maybe manslaughter," So, all the times you said soemthing really mean to someone on the internet and hurt their feelings you feel you should be charged for manslaughter if they commit suicide? That's silly. As in poor tatse as the actions were, suicide is a personal choice.; not a forced upon action.

The issue is that the camera often times makes it so you can't see your characters as it blocks your view with buildings and other crap. This happens a lot on area transitions. It's plain annoying. What's the point of having isometric/3rd person if you can't see the party. It's just plain annoying. Not a game breaker; but still annoying.

If the employees don't like it, they can quit. OMG! That's unthinkable! You need an IQ of 200 to figure this puzzle out!!! And, if they don't get OT pay then sue. P.S. I believe various employees have sued EA over this. Perish the thought! Common sense wins out, and it should!!!

"In any case, Bioware is owned by EA now and only an idiot would actualy want to work for EA." 1. EA is awesome. 2. BIO isn't owned by EA currently. It takes a while for a purchase like this to be finalized legally. 3. Only someone who wants to get paid to make VIDEO GAMES would actually want to work for EA. R00fles!

R00fles!

BIO has updated their list of upcoming games, and it now lists *both* the MMORPG and the LA game which means they're likely not the same thing so it seems they are not working on a SW.KOTOR MMORPG. Or are they? R00fles!

"If you are playing the same game over and over and over again it doesn't matter how good the game is. In the end it will just be boring and boring is never good. That is one of the reasons why I don't get the popularlity of the EA sport games. Its just the same game, with updated stats and little graphical improvement, than the last version. Its practifcally the same freaking game. Why pay another $60 for a game you are already playing? Makes no sense." Play the original Madden, and then play this year's Madden then tell me with a striaght face that it's the 'same game'. NHL series is another exmaple. I disliked NHL 07; but I LOVE NHL 08. Same game? I think not. I just wnat good games. i don't care if it's a new IP, old IP, continuing of a series, etc., etc. If it's fun, i wanna play it. If it's not ; i don't. You don't care for sports games in the first palce so of course you don't know why sports fans would want to buy the 'same game' every year. The same as non RPG fans don't understand why RPG fans like buying games that, on the surface, are basically the same. Go through game, fight enemies, complete quests, level character, talk about crap, repeat.

"How?" Some of the allignment changes. You shouldn't be getting good/lawful points by simply suppressing. The drains of spirit nergy ar esoemtimes seemingly random espicially in regards to world map travel, and sleeping. Still, overall, it's a good addition. I'd rate it around 80% effective in quality.

KOTOR is still more original than a sequel based on it which reuses KOTOR characters, storyline, plot points, and such. That's just the story too. Let's not forget game play, graphics, combat, items, and so on too. R00fles! Besdies, once again, originality is overrated. I'd rather have a good BG5, NHL 2020, F013 then a horrible DA1 or Alien RPG1 (not syaing they *are* horrible; of course Alien RPG isn't horribley original since it is based on an IP).

I haven't fought these uber vamps yet; but has anyone bothered to try Control Undead on one? That would teach them a lesson as they bash other. HAHAHA!

It's also rather illogical at times. It is a good idea as a game mechanics, and does add to the game play; but it *could* be handled much better.

Nah.

About that. I hope they cna stay .500+; but they have 4 road games coming up and they have 0 road wins on the year, and the 4 goals tonight wa sonly the second time all season they scored 4+ goals. L0L

"I was going to say yes but I am divided on this. I liked them both." I like them both too, and fine them about equal as well. P.S. Originality is overrated, and there was nothing more 'original' about KOTOR2 anyways. It was a sequel, after all. Hard to be original when your story follows an alreayd made one. L0L
