"Does anybody know a fast way to get dialogue to repeat itself in the NWN editor? In the campaign mods the text is in grey, but I have to copy and paste and rewrite over and over, and a decent convo takes me 4 hours if I want it to work right..." First copy the dialogue than either paste and/or paste and link. I learned just a few months ago. "Another off topic: What would be considered a moderate sized NWN module?" I dunno. I would think one that is 3-6 hours is moderately sized. the one I'm working on personally will be probably 2-4 hours yet I still have like 50k words of dialogue worth already completed. It's about 10 or so areaswas total with many of those small.

Nope. 100% responsibility is the way to go. Pointing fingers at other people is just silly. "IPLY is partly responsible for their success because they gave them the outlet and helped them achieve their success with BG and NWN." No. They didn't give BIo anything. BIO EARNED their success. If BIO went to Interplay with an awful demo of their engine(s) do you really think Interplay would ahve worked with them? Of course not. Interplay, being one of the top companies at that time, would have told BIo to get lost and that be the end of that. BIO earned EVERYTHING Interplay contracted them for. They weren't given anything. And, yes, Troika's failure was 100% their fialure. The murderer is 100% at fualt. I dunno about you; but if my neighbour commits a murder I'm not taking the blame for it; not even 1% of it. No way jose. Yet that's what you wnat me to do so if my neighbour gets thrown in prison for 10 years; I should take 1% of the time accoridng to you. Uhuh. I think not. A marriage is always a 50-50 responsibility. the husband is repsonsible for his 50%. He failed on his side, and the wife failed as well. 100% each responsible for their failures. "Also, Atari took on the last 6 months of development for NWN, they didn

"You could figure out that you were a wound in the force after only a few hours of play? I somehow doubt it." That's ok. That doens't mean it's not true. Not to mention who the Big bad was obvious which i figured out in the first interaction. R00fles!

"All we know is rumors" False. We know for a fact that Troika decided to sign with Activision. That is their responsibilty. The bottom line is all decisions that concern Troika's well being was Troika's to make. Troika was not forced to sign with Activision. they chose to which means they got stuck with the good aspects of Activision as well as the bad. Same with Bioware, and Interplay. "If your parents gave you $20,000 to help you and your wife put toward a down payment on a house; are they just being helpful, or are they partly responsible that you now live in that house? Sorry, but they are partly responsible that you now live in that house." Are my aprents xpecting me to give back 30k or was it a gift or helping hand? if it's the first one; yes they helped. Of course, bottom line is you are still responsible for getting the house. Afterall, the ultimate choice of whether or not you get the house is yours. You could not ask your parents, turn them down, get a loan elsewhere. It all comes back to you. "This situation is similar to Interplay when I say they are partly responsible for the success of Bioware in helping them get the BG and NWN games. Without IPLY they would not have created BG or NWN. And I

"Arcanum, ToEE, and Vampires from Troika," Troika has connections to Interplay/BIS. "I expect Bethesda will do Fallout 3 right. They've long been the kings of the open-ended RPG (Arena really was the first of its kind)." Ha. Bethesda is awful. Worst RPG Developers ever. Make me puke.

"All old PC games are still praised and are very alive while console games even as good as SW Bounty Hunter are lomg forgotten and not part of the gaming history." Really? Tell that to Pac Man, Tetris, Mario, and a host of other games. R00fles!

"Untrue. Being Magical Volo is magical." Um. You do realize she wans't responding to me, silly one?

"By Bioware choosing Obsidian" Bioware didn't choose Obsidian. Atari, and LA did. "You think what Interplay did for Bioware and what Bioware has done for Obsidian is not a gift?" It wans't. It was a business decision. When people giving gifts it's not to get soemthing in return if it's an actual true gift. If I give someone $5, for example, and I expect $10 back. That's not a gift. And, that's exactly what publishers do with developers. "Also Bioware earned nothing when they got the license. A cool looking demo does not equate

"Well, that sucks. I refuse to buy a console. Consoles are for children." WOW! I didn't know my nearly 60 year father who has had 7 children and worked in the mines for nearly 30 years was still a child. Hmmm... P.S. You do realize that your prcious KOTOR series are on x-box too, right?

"I thought it meant he had a contact who gave him a copy, possibly a review copy." So he has it even though he shouldn't? Last i check review copies given to professionual reviewers is supposed to stay with them - not handed out like candy... unless that is allowed... SP even ADMITTED he shouldn't have it. My take on things is if you have soemthing you shouldn't have that kinda leads to one conclusion..... "I thought it meant he had a contact who gave him a copy, possibly a review copy." It's too easy being negative on the 'net. It's a disease spread by it. I'm a bastard in RL too; but I'm generally positive.

"As rpg's is all about making the pictures in your own head. Thats something I liked about f.ex Fallout, that when f.ex opening opening doors, searching bodies, they had the same animation, and that didn't matter at all. Not at all. I love IE... " Ok. No need for vidego game RPGs then. Stick with pnp.

Oops.. I forgot to mention Vampire when I was listing games that don't focus or don't have gobs and elves. And, yah, JE looks good; but remember it's x-box only so if you don't have that come join the rest of us crybabies.

"Are most RPG games centered around Goblins and Elfs and such? I am not so much into those types of things." Most are. Of those games, FO series, PST, and Ff series not much about goblins and elves. Same with Jade Empire; but it's not out 'til next week though so don't rush to the store to buy it. LOL btw, Most of these games are made have some connection to the makers of KOTOR or the makers of KOTOR2's old company in some way....

NWN with its expansions, FF series (though it's a different style of rping), and Lionheart are also games to check out. You may like them. You may not. Then again, that goes for Lefard's games as well. You never know...

"K1 wasnt a fun experience for many reasons." Geez. It wasn't too long ago when you couldn't stop praising KOTOR1. R00fles! "1. A twist that you could determine with in game evidence within a a few hours. Then you get to play like a dummy till the game catches up." Just like KOTOR2. "2. An end boss that cheats to hide the fact he's a wuss." Just like KOTOR2. "3. Lets not forget him dying on the Leviathon which pretty much killed the credibility of the game from that point on. " Just like KOTOR2.

"Hearing it extolled endlessly for it's perfection is tiresome." Never said Bg was pefect. i can list quite a few things I dislike about BG or wish were different. "Can't both games co-exist on their own merits?" Huh? They can, and they do. I've written many times in this very thread that I like IWD1. WOWSERS! I like Bg and IWD at the same time! DOUBLE WOWSERS!!

"I shouldnt really have" SP, with lines like this what else is one to think? I don't want to think that; but your words lead that to a pretty big possibility...

"And yet it sold like hot-cakes, and became the greatest crpg hit ever." False.

"IPLY gave Bioware it

Ah, a thief.

Is this the actual game or the demo you are reviewing? 'cause if it's the game; it ain't out 'til late next week.... earlier, I preusme for PROFESSINUAL reviewArs!

"Jeeze, I would hate to be a friend of yours Volourn." My friends say the same thing! "Of course Interplay is partly responsible for Bioware

"Maybe you need glasses?" Maybe I have glasses already. Maybe I don't. R00fles!

"Do yourself a favour." Nah. I don't believe in suicide. Besdies, I've seen screenshots of it before. It's good; but it's no FF8. Here's a new small story from Gamespot. Nothing fancy new; but cool. http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/rpg/jadeempir...ew_6121495.html And,a ccoridng to the article, the game only took 2 years to make. I thoguht it was longer; but meh; BIo gotz screwed by the publisher accoridng to Codex. All good games need 3 years! R00fles!

You are wrong. Plain, and simple. All you are doing is trolling, and basically flaming anyone who likes consoles and saying they are beneath you and aren't even human. That's worthy of a ban. You do realize that FF is also on the PC, right? Of course, nice dodge about DA and NWN2 though. R00fles!
