And, before someone accuses me of being anti 3E, wrong again. I wa sin the past. But, overall, I like it just as much as 2E and in some ways it is better. So there. " But, I've never un=dertsood this nonsense of thaco and negative ac being some overly complicated difficult thing to figure out. It's VERY intuitive. The lower the ac or the lower the thaco the better they are. NOt complicated at all. Just the way calories work. Or the faster you go the more likley you'll get in toruble with the law making it a bad thing. LOL Same with PING for internet connections for multiplayer games. The lower the better. R00fles!

"But if anyone claims that they made perfect sense out of all this their first time looking at AD&D rules, I say they are lying." Then call me a liar.. again. I found it rather intuitive. And, I was about 14 or so when 2E came out. And, none of my friends had any real trouble figuring it out. "In real life most things get better when they go up, why should game ruleset be the other way around?" Most things. Not everything. And, the D&D ruleset works the same.

Obsidian doesn't want me as a mod. Heh. They might not even want me as a poster. LOL :D Anyways, too bad SS, you did a great job as a moderator.

If I want to see the general PST story, I'll just watch a soap. (and, I do). And, their amnesia storylines tend to better acted with sueprior dialogue. The wekaness of course is there is no player/viewer choice. Hahaha. R00fles!

"What "roleplaying" options really existed in Baldur's Gate? You could "play" evil....if you didn't mind fighting hordes of guards. Certainly didn't see much difference between classes or even gender however." Roleplaying is more than choosing good vs. evil. Then again, plenty of quests offered good or evil ways to solve thenm. On top of this, role-playing was also served well by how you interacted with potential joinable npcs. Heck, the Minsc/Dynaheir/Wizard quest illsutrates this a lot. "Freshness of it's approach? A world with a linear plot, sidequests, and tons of monster killing? I guess you didn't play RPGs before Baldur's Gate. You could have at least mentioned a game like Ultima, which actually granted the player the opportunity to do stuff other than quest (like bake bread if you wanted to!)." Oh please. Don't give me that 'old skool RPGs were awesome RPG games'. Outside of Ultima, 'old skool RPGs' were nothing more than dungeon haks that were leveling treadmills. As deep as POR2 is at its most shallow. I;m sorry but while the GB games were fun when I wa slike 10 they didn't know what role-playing was. GB, M&M, Wizardry, and a host of other games were all like that. Ultima was the EXCEPTION not the RULE. "Unless you consider doing sidequest X before sidequest Y as a "distinct" difference....but that wouldn't differentiate between the game and other games at all)." BG may noy be the best role-playing experience; but outside of Ultima and a few other games it CRUSHES 'old school RPGs'. "The original Baldur's Gate had it right. Leveling was never intrusive and effectively reflected the development of your character through the adventure, the latter being the point of the game..." BG is an excpetion; not the rule. Most old school games (GB aside) were all about fast leveling.

Bloodlines is cool; but you guys all seems to be wussies. I love the Headrunners. They wer ecute, and the horror move side quest is one of the best side quests I've seen in a game. Good stuff.

Addenum: The below is a PW. It's an Action. Very little, or even no role-playing. Lots of fun for combat oriented. Well balanced espicially for groups. Various rules changes for resting, death, and spells. Try it if you like to test yourself in combat. If not, go away. 66.108.230.68:5121 Underdark Adventures II

AUTHORITY, HELP WITH THIS LIST! p.s. There, I shouted for your help.

No. Kanada is. Espicially with our crooked PM. But, hey, at least it looks like we are dumping him in a couple of weeks. YAY!!

I am. It's called the Internet.

Good interview. People are gonna dislike the last bit on subrace reactions though. No big biggie for me as long as there's enough flavour there... P.S. Banned from BIO? Don't worry. At least it wasn't like 2 months. LOL Haha, Llyr.

Hmm... I missed that part. In fact, I cosnidered a threat of war. The US, and Isreal both have the right to attack Iran now. Its President has threatened their destruction.

"publicly wishes for both Israel and America to be wiped off the face of the planet" Only tue for Isreal. Iran doesn't hate the US THAT much.

Probabaly. They're fickle. It's almost random. Afterall, these are the same people who allowed BIo to change the Divine Champion; but then stepped in and took a fit when BIO wanted to change the Harper Scout. R00fles!

"but Wizards of the Coast didn't allow it because the mod wasn't 'Forgotten Realms' That doesn't even make sense. Outside of POTSC none of the PM are set in the FR. Hmmm....

Um. No. I got better things to do. Like play NWN the only worthwhile game until NWN2 comes out hopefully.

"Wouldn't "balanced" mean appropriate challenges for the current PC? Or more commonly that no classes have large advantages/disadvantages over others?" Yeah. This is pretty much my defintion as well. But, ehy, it's me so maybe I'm wrong.... Nah. Impossible. (w00t)

"secondly they weren't really integral to any of the IE or Gold Box games either." Yes, they were. Afterall, seems to me that the main villain of BG1 was hiding on a sewer. And, in BG2, more thana few side quests were found or connected to a sewer. "I thought so. Some people need to get a clue and discuss something worth discussing. Sewers??" I'm not the only person who cares about sewers in this thread. This thread has been kept alive talking about sewers by many people; not just me. It's not a one poster thread, afterall. In fact, the others seem to care more about sewers than I do since they continually talk about it and seem to take my defense of sewers as a personal attack on them and Obsidian even though it wasn't and ain't. R00fles!

"The alignment shift depending on your actions is one of the coolest new features. Harkens to PS:T." Was already in NWN1. Both KOTORs had it. JE had the same thing. Heck, the FOs had it BEFORE PST. This isn't new. Not even close...

No. Oilers who boo this night where its about celebrating Messier's time as a Ranger are the real trolls. I am defending Messier, and the Rangers against the Evil Oiler Fans tm. Not the Good Oiler Fans tm. This is about THE Captain of the New York Rangers; not Edmonton Oilers. You guys will have your night if and when the Oilers retire #11. And, if he doens't mention NY on that night, I will repsect that as it will be Messier As Oiler Night. Tonight was Messier + Rangers = Match Made In Heaven. You are just in a foul mood 'cause your Oilers choked in overtime tonight.

"Mm no I actually didn't want to destroy Gabrielle. I just wanted to inform" Yeah. But, DESTROY sounds cooler than inform. Matter of taste, I guess. :D

"Whats that junk that Bioware advertises to download that you have to pay, and the modules you find in the stores?" Karka DESTROYS you.

Huh? User made mods are free. Falsely accusing someone of theft is just as bad as theft. It reeks of lack of morals.

Weiser, just one question... what are ya babbling about?

Eh? Pay for them? What? I don't pay for user made mods for NWN. I think you are drinking again.
