http://nwn.bioware.com/players/profile_higher_ground.html For the past 2 weeks, BIO has been pimping this NWN PW. Lastw eek it was about the NWN version,a nd this week it was about their plans for NWN2. Anyways, I've been trying it out for the past week, and it's pretty good. Those who are still playing NWN should check it out. Important Note: This is a high action, and phat loot collecting PW. However, it does have lots to offer including the following: xp bonus for parties, chnages/upgrades to basically all races/classes, up to level 60 (that's right, level 60), spell workovers including higher level summons, varied and amazing items, class oreinted quests, leveitation and waterbretahing rings you need for certain higher end areas, and a very active community over (now) 4 servers, oppurtunties to become liches and other stuff, many, many new subraces, a campaign/server long quest, and a chance (mythically) to become an 'immortal'..... WPWSERS! I just reached level 10 (barb 1/wiz9) as an artic dwarf... will be... barb4/wiz16 at 20. Still check it out! I'll main 'em all with ya! Or not... Again, it's an ACTION server. P.S. Only hak pak they used is CEP (not quite sure what version since I ahd it already), I believe... Be wary of m,onsters like rust monster, and cubes that steal your equipment. Death is relatively cheap xp/gp wise; but be careful as there's chance you may lose a fvaored item (I lost some awesome boots, lol). :cool: :cool: :cool:

Higher Ground.

"I never said never would again and even if I did say I never would again never should you beleive that for never is such a permanent term and I would never keep a static position on an issue. Never." My bad. I *should* and *do* know better. :D

"General Motors has already pulled sponsorship of the show and perhaps more to follow" No connection accoridng to both parties. The funny thing is I read an article about this 10 seconds before reading your post: http://www.tv.msn.com/celebs/article.aspx?...232218&GT1=7703 On the Issue: I've mixed views. It's a cheap gimmick is all it is. But, as for the fear of it spreading racial hatred, nah. As the above article mentions, the way Survivor plays, in the early parts of the games you gotta kick your own teammates off anyways... I think people are overreatcing evn though it likely wouldn't have been done this wya if I were in charge. thennagain, I haven't watched Survivor all the sway since early Season 2. I'll stick to the best 'reality' show known as Big Brother. Totally sweet. :cool:

In fact, I think this was the fastest NWN patch to download for me. I think it was evenq uicker than Hades' 30 second mark! P.S. You notice that Hades downloaded the patch even though in that Daggerford PM he swore he didn't have NWN installed on his computer anymore and never would again? LOLOLOLOLLIPOP He must really LOVE visible cloaks!!! :D

"quiet, you... " be thankful my message wasn't longer! I had several paragraphs all ready to go 'til evilness struck!!! P.S. I will pre order NWN2 on october 1.

She expected a new campaign of 50 hours, 20 new joinable npcs, 100 new spells, a dozen new skills, 10 new tilesets, a score of new monsters, 8 new prestige classes, and a million dollars. And, why not, damn it? She is a paying customer who bought NWN 4 years ago!!!! I'm 100% on her side for her demands! I hate petitions; but I'd sign a petition for the above!!!!!

L0LLERS

Within a few months for sure. This one is a much smaller patch though. And, there's suppoedly another patch coming too even thoguh 1.68 was gonna be the alst when the Atari silliness began awhile back as well...

The update includes visible cloaks as well as more scripting stuff, and spell fixes/updates! Good stuff!!! Full List: http://nwn.bioware.com/support/patchdetails168.html?pl=

Doom - An action-horror flick. No classic; but watchable.

If Thornton, and his goal buddy have as a good as season last year the Sharks have no exuse not to finish in the top 3 of their conference. I'm surprised they have the two man Rangers ahead of the Flyers, and the Devils. That's just wishful thinking on my part.

"If I worked for OE I would be irritated by the assumption that they exist purely to make Bioware sequels." Awww.. You gonna make me cry. Obsidian has existed for what? Nearly 4 years? They've made 2 games both of which are sequels to BIO games. Of course, people are gonna think that. Don't blame the fans, blame Obsidian. Not that Obsidian is gonna cry about it, anyways. Those sequels have sold million + copies (KOTOR2), or will sell million + copies (NWN2). Of course, I don't think their next game will be a BIO handsmedown. And, i seriously doubt it's gonna be ME2, or JE2...

Spartacus = THA awesome!

"Personally I think they look at least as good as Oblivion." No, no they don't.

Slavery is wrong, Kirruto. Stop that immorality!

Timeline was an ok movie. Nothing earthshattering. Typical time traveling movie, I think. ... Vampire Journals - Better than I thought it would be. Kinda expected a B Movie about vampires. It gave me the 'Angel' vibe but much darker, and no humour what so ever. Decently acted with a decent plot. The main villain was interesting to say the least.

"You played Gothic 2, right? The Gothics have always had large areas with no loading zones. And if you played them on decent systems, then you would have experienced no pauses in gameplay. I suspect Gothic 3 will be the same." Played G2. Had an above avergae system (above the reccomended). It had noticebale pauses while loading data for the next part... most noticeably the first town since I didn't get much farther for completely different reasons).

"Probably not, Volourn, but I have personally met enough of them and seen their actions in the news as well as read a good chunk of their history to cement my opinion." By the news huh? If I were go by the news, I'd be well within reason to just whitewash all Muslims as suicide bomber terrorists who want to wipe all non Muslims off the face of the earth. Yet, in my finite wisdom, I realzie that the enws tends to always cover the negative so I know chances are that *most* Muslims are good people so I DON'T whitewash them all AS THAT WOULD BE WRONG.

Then again.. I'm sure non Christians treat him the same way! LOL :D .... He left that part out...

"Bigotry is never justified. I am just saying that if Christians leave me alone I would leave them alone. If Christians treated me with respect maybe I would treat them with respect. Maybe if they didn't condemn people based on their physiology, which they have no control over, maybe I wouldn't condemn them. Maybe if they didn't try to impose their morality and beliefs on others perhaps I wouldn't have so much disdain for them." Pot. kettle. black. "Maybe I will some day, when I meet a Christian in the real world who isn't a jerk." Bigot. I doubt you have met enough Christians to stereotype all who practice the faith.

WOW! Are the rgaphics getting worse? I used to think the graphcis for G3 would be at least on par with Oblivion. Not so sure now. Not that the graphics suck; but meh. As for 'no loading times'... Is this the 'no loading times' where the gamne pauses for like 5 seconds on screen, or is REALLY no loading times? Every game I've seen bragging about 'no loading times' tend to mean the lameo version.

PrC. You should know what made the cut or not. Spells. Who knows. Shadow weave. Doubtful. Regional Feats. Welll... They have background feats which kinda work the same since all PCs are from the same town. Magical items. I'll go out on the limb, and say yes. Dieties. 100+ FR dieties can be chosen to replace the old NWN version. Of course, it adds nothing to the game except a silly name, and alignment/race/class restriction.

I love all the Jurrasic Park movies. people just bash the sequels simply because it does what intended... gives us more dinosuars. LOL And, by the time they came out, the dinosaur craze had died down... I look forward to part 4. "

Failure to Launch: Better than expected. I liked it. The Sound of Thunder: Could have been much better. And, longer. Peculiar fun movie; but ultimately a dissapointment.
