"Israel is a country that practicaly destroyed a nation" Dramatic much? Leboanon wasn't even close to being destroyed. "Their first response was to kill hundreds of people and cause billions of dollars on property damage instead of diplomacy and for what?" Yeah, killing hundreds of people = destroying a whole country. And, 9/11 cost billions of dollars yet the US was NEVER nearly destroyed. I seriosuly doubt Isreal's offensive was menat to destroy Lebanon nor did it even come close to that. P.S. That doesn't mean I'm making like of the deaths themselves. Death is *never* a laughing matter.l

"annoying, isnt it?" No, actually, it isn't. P.S. No matter how blue your face gets, the FO series plots are basically copycats of each other. It's so obvious. In fact, that's my biggest beef with FO2 (outside of it having its share of bugs) is that it's story rips off it's prequel.

1984 is a good book. It also had good points. however, it is a book of fiction. It is also describing a 'worst case scenario' situation. Going by memory (as it's been awhile); but that should not be sued as some prime evidence why a contorlling gov't is bad. Heck, it's best to point to real world situations where controlling gov't = bad. As for the issue: I'm 50-50. I value freedom big time, and I don't think the gov't should be listening on my sex talk conversations. That's just not right! But, if they need to jerk off while I';m doing it over the phone to save 2000 lives; be my guest. Within reason. they shouldn't moniotr random joe blow; but actual suspects (how to determine them is a whole 'nother issue) are free game.,

Oooo... I. can't. stop. laughing. at. your funny. Oooo...

"although 1 had a better plot." They had the same plot...

St:TNG Season 7 . Decent end to a great series.

Called shots are awesome. Sure, a groin called shot would be cool; BUT instead of removingc alled shots (arms and legs) in NWN2; Obsidian should add two known as called shot (groin) , and called shots (head). Called shots add to combat options. now, warriors aregonna be even more boring with good 'ol fashion simple, plain attacks. *yawn*

The Iran Nuclear Issue, and the US reaction to it does not exist in a vaccuum nor is it a new one. Ignoring the rest of the world's part in the drama paints only part of the picture which means any point one makes is not useful.

"Because the BA is batty." Weird. Why blame the BA for this? You think they're the only US administration, or heck world gov't who opposes Iran's push for nuclear weaponry? They aren't. And, there are many reasons why countries - including most of Europe - oppose Iran's push for nuclear weapons. To try to lay the blame on the BA alone over this issue is shortsighted. I sure as heck rather not see a country whose montra is 'wipe out Isreal' and 'the holocaust didn't happen' have nuclear weapons.... WOWSERS!

Load times are soooooooo slowwww. It makes BL loadtimes look super fast. I'm gonna wait 'til I update my computer to try again... It does look good otherwise...

Booo! And, they also removed called shots so more combat options have been removed....

PC version. Though, like I emntioned, they do have an unnaounced next gen console game AND MS has already officially stated the existence of a JE2 (though BIO hasn't confirmed0. PRDICTION: I bet they're waiting for the PC version of JE1 to come out. If that makes enough money, they'll likely shortly after announce JE2 for both PC and xbox 360. If not, they'll just announce JE2 for xbox 360. Or just xbox 360 no matter how well it does. I don't see they seem trying to pimp a sequel to a game that has yet to come out in all versions...

"This is a lot funnier and less depressing than the story pf the New Zealand policewoman who had to moonlight as a call girl to make ends meet." WOW! Forced into counsilling for doing a LEGAL job. WOWSERS!

"I don't know but I hear a lot more about ME than DA." ME is due out late this year, or early next year. DA is due out late next year or early 2008. That's why ME is getting more media attention. Anyone who is silly enough to believe that DA is 'vapourware', or is BIO's last PC game knows very little. It wasn't shown at E3 for the obvious reasons a) it's not ready to have more revelations, and b) BIo wanted to focus on the games coming out soon (ME and JE). I don't see much media hype for the MMORPG or the 2nd console game either. BIO has no reason to announce DA just for it go vapourware. They gain nothing from that. And, if they were planning to abandon the PC as you proclaim, why are they doing the following: 1. Making DA 2. Making JE PC 3. Making a MMORPG which is like 99% likely a PC game 4. Still patching NWN1 despite NWN2 coming out in 2 months Hmm.. Your logic is illogical...

Agreed.... My opinion however is as long a sthey make things I'd be interested, they still got my business. If they don't; no money from me. P.S. BIO's 'roots' are in medical software... they already forgot about their 'roots'... :D

Nope. Didn't get this survey. I got one awhile back; but it was about the digital store... As for them making a hand held game... hmm... "Maybe Dragon Age will be the last dedicated PC game they do, if it is still being worked on." It's called branching out. It's what successful companies do when they grow...

"if you played it right" How does one play BG right?

"We could discuss what a money-grubbing bastard, Zhedev is. " He has every right to get the best deal possible for him. He's not brwkaing any rules. he's doing exactly what teams do. Teams try to get players as cheaply a spossible. Players try to get as money as possible. If they don't think he's worth what he wants then don't pay him, let him go to to Russia. Or, better yet, have the balls and the morals to release him outright.. I think the entire idea of 'restricted free agent' dumb. If you don't want their service of the player, and can't trade him ( i think trades are dumb (but fun); but that's a whole 'nother issue) then just release him. But, teams ALL about controlling players; not employing them.

"Atari's record is made of games like ToEE, MoO3, DDO, and the like." Atari publishes a lot of games. The majority of which are relatively bugless. What you post are examples of exemptions; not the rule. "Obsidian doesn't have that level of financing that Bioware had when NWN 1 was released." Meh. They may not be at BIo's level; but I wish people would stop [pretending Obsidian some newbie company in the por hourse. By now, the number of employees they have is I believe at least around 100 (and growing). They are not a small company anymore. They likely made a fairly helathy profit off of KOTOR2 so i doubt they are still poor now. Let's stop pretending otherwise. "I was under the impression that Bioware only started financing patches after the plug was pulled on NWN by Atari." Nope. The premium modules paid for the patches.

"One can never overdose on DnD."

"I thought you weren't playing the premium modules." Eh? Where did I say that? I said I wouldn't pay to download them. I bought the CD version. Heck, I even reviewed it here... LOL

"Your point being?" That if you hate soemthing you shouldn't be doing it. Duh. "I was going to go through that game with a monk and well it forced me to use a normal dagger that I couldn't unequip." Eh? Weird... I don't recall being forced to use a weapon... Hmm...

A. Sucks to be you. If you don't like it, use soemthing else. B. OSes are different than games. Nice try, though.

"Oh, come off it, Judge Hades. You're just looking for reasons to bash the module so you can stick to your guns about anything NWN related." Just remember the following: Hades goes on, and on about the NWN OC is 'one of the worst CRPGs ever' yet he has played it 3+ times... I think that explains everything we need to know. "
