Volourn

Jason. He's cooler. Micheal is boring. The Halloween series was entertining in spite of Micheal not because of. Other characters like Loomis made that series. Jason *is* Friday the 13th even though he wasn't even the killer in part 1!!! Though the spionic heroine in part 3 (I think?) was pretty cool!

Bullcrap artcile. Bush and co. gave multiple reasons for the Iraq invasion. It rnaged from WMD programs, to Saddam is evil and a threat, for the Iraqi people, to take out an enemy of the US, and more. There was NEVER just one justification. What a stupid myth to say there was! "Hell, in the eyes of many world leaders HE is viewed as evil." Any leader who agrees with NK's leader on ANYTHING, will ALWAYS have a suspect view, imo. Sorry.

"Not in Kotor." Yes, in KOTOR. I killed many npcs - joinable and otherwise. What KOTOR game did you play? It musta been the ultra secret version.

Llyr wins.

You are a huge fan of NWN. Just admit it after all this years. Geez. Actions are louder than words. And, your actions betray your words.

"They should have had killable npcs" Eh? They did.

"It has a 3rd person view and a pseudo first person view where you vision is limited at looking at the ground and barely a foot ahead of you." Oh really? How quickly they forget that NWN has 3 view options. WOWSERS!

http://www.gamersquad.com/category/Intervi...ass-Effect-Q-A/ Interview + video. Most interesting tidbit is how experience points are handled. :ph34r:

"Actually I can't see what's the deal with camera in NWN1, I could easily rotate (hold mouse wheel) and zoom without spending too much time on it." I agree. NWN1's camera angle/control was aweosme and easy to change if you disliked a certain view. And, Grom is correct about the IE party control stuff.

"would also shrink back from conversations because he wasn't far enough forward." That's your own fault. Not the game's fault. Don't be so lazy and actually move them around before entering possible dialogue situations ala town. Tsk, tsk.

Imoen in BG2 is as much a part of the Bhaalspawn saga as the PC consideirng she is one. Add to the torture she suffered at the hands of Irenicus, and her history with the character, no wodner she;ll stick with your character. Jaheria has more than one motivation to stick with you. Friends with your mentor, and her husband was killed by TBBG. Not to mention, as a druid, she must think what Irenicus is doing is completely unnatural. The paladin goofball also probably doesn;t approve of a chaotic mage running amok as Irenicus does. As good a reason as any to join you. While many of the other npcs aren't diretcly tied with the main stories (in either game), they do have their reasons to stick with you. On top of that, the npcs don't follow you 'unquestioningly'. In fact, they quetsion you all the time hence why they cna leave you depending on reputation and actions. KOTOR npcs just follow you blindly as they are forced into your party. Most of them are just there because they can be. They're there simply ebcause BIO made them and didn't want them ignored or BIO's feelings would be hurt that x npc would not be experienced by y number of players. Lame.

Meh. I do the same thing with certain games. NWN2 is one such example. I don't care what other dinks (including me and my complaints) think about it. I preorder it, and I will install it no matter how the previews, and reviews state. Same (but in reverse) for Oblivion. I don't care that it got a million positive reviews. I'm not buying it until it's in the bargain bin. As for Gothic 3 (to stay on topic), I'll pick it up early next year whatever the price is.

Come on, Mkreku. We all know you are gonna install the game no matter what the pundits say. Just make the plunge without the drama. You wouldn't have bought the game otherwise. LOL :D

"BG NPC's had little to nothing to do with the main plot, though. At times it felt a bit unrealistic that these people just kept following you around unquestioningly. I much prefer KOTOR's NPC's in that regard." You played a different BG than me, I guess. *shrugs*

Damn Rangers! Lost to the pathetic Penguins!!! Jagr had 3 points though so he's on pace for 160+ points which means my prediction of him reaching 150 points (if he stays healthy) remains on track. And, oh, Cheechoo finally got going for San Sose with a hat trick and first goals of the season!!!

"but being "confident" that nwn2 will be fun is just ridiculous unless you has been having a chance to actually test drive." I *know* the game will be fun. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the mathematical odds of it NOT being fun is less than .054321%. I'll take my chances. "congrats on being one of the folks that gets ignored 'cause you couldn't wait, 'cause you proved to developers and publishers that your complaints 'bout bugs in initial release were just so much hot air." Game over.

No one counts Visc though.... :ph34r:

"but the meat of dialogs and roleplaying is done by no other than MMCATA!!!! " I believe MCA focused mainly on the joinable npcs. The other writing like the main story was done by others, I believe though I'm sure as a boss MCA had say on it. "Good ol' King Volourn. *sigh* Those were the days." Heh. King Volourn only existed during the time of my wars with the overseer/Mr. Sawyer when I got banned after literally begging to be.

HAHA! Anyways, Grom's doomsaying aside, NWN2 won't be perfect (what game is?); but I expect it to be a fun game nontheless.

Geez... The people on this baord whine more about other boards than even the Codex does! WOWSERS!!! Stop the whining about others' whining espicially when it doesn't effect you, or I'll have to whine more about you whining about others' whining and then someone will feel the need to whine about me whining about you whining about others' whining. Gah.

Same here. I was actually nice, and polite too. The internet corrupted me.

When 99% of other studies including those done by those vehemently anti US ahve much less death counts, I laugh at this 'study'. What a joke! I'm sorry; but they're likely counting those poor folks who got ran over by a car or had a heart attack at age 99. *yawn*

"I think Josh deserve a lot of credit for being the only dev who has the patience and calm required to actually interact with the fan community" Eh? While Mr. Sawyer interatcing is great. It's fun when he smacks me down afterall. But, hes'; far from the only dev to do so. So, you must be one of those ignorant people you post about? Taks: 8 years? I don't think I've been on the internet that long. I believe I came on just before BG2 came out in 2000, IIRC.

And?

It's unneeded and poor deisgn. Plain,a nd simple. Both BG2 and PST managed to pull of great joinable npcs without forcing them on you. Silly KOTOR series, JE, NWN2, and DA! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
