I said it sounds like rebellion in a few ways Like you have a galaxy map with the rebellion and the empire and you select where you want to attack or build at. The Empire is a dominate force while the rebellion runs around in the out rims and such hiding till they build up their strength. You get heros that do battle or diplomacy. You build ship yards and training facilities. You carry troops on to new battles. You use troops to stop spies. actaully, this really does seem like a RTS game with rebellion tacked on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Indeed. And if I remember correctly, 'capturing' certain enemy heroes would satisfy a win condition.

They now live in the same town as point-and-click adventure games.

Yeah, the hypocrisy of the undemocratic Jedi is something Palpatine may have been right about. If you see the way the then it really makes one wonder.

That's probably because you have to be level 50 or something to access it.

That would've kept the ladies "horny". ^_^

Whoah - there were lake monsters? Must have missed it, but it's something for me to watch out for next time. I guess those Dantooine flying manta ray thingies have some stiff competition. ^_^

Wow...the mazy jungles, the Mandalorian camp and Freedon's Nadd's tomb were some of the high points of the game for me - very impressive. Yeah, well, I didn't much care for Peragus, but's that just personal taste I suppose. Anyway, thanks more taking the time to share your expertise Dennis. I greatly appreciate it.

You still need int for the [intelligence] How did you get here, T3?

Hmm....Peragus eh? Peragus was actually my least favorite 'planet', but good job nevertheless. What I want to know is who designed Dxun? That moon was Godsend! Everything from the lighting, to the music, to the rain/thunder and grassy jungle atmosphere was really quite breathtaking. It was just so mazy and intricate...just like what I expected from Tales of the Jedi.

The Mind Trick power appears to free when you select Affect Mind. And when you engage in combat, the Mind Trick will be available to use.

Meh. You can take your Pro Evolution Soccer series and you can take your FIFA series....the Championship Manager series will aways be the best ! :D

Thanks for the info, Kobold.

Have any of you guys and gals tried to toe-to-toe with Sherruk? :'(

Just be sure you buy the "Pirates! Limited Edition" and not the regular version. They're both the same price, but the 'special edition' is the one DVD as opposed to the 6+ CD's.

Which thread would you be referring to? That "spoilers" thread?

The most legendary names are from Bart's prank calls to moe : Phone call for Al...Al Coholic...is there an Al Coholic here? Oliver Clothesoff! Call for Oliver Clothesoff! Uh, is I.P. Freely here? Hey, everybody, I.P. Freely! Uh, Jacques Strap! Hey guys, I'm looking for a Jacques Strap! Hey, is there a Butz here? Seymour Butz? Hey, everybody, I wanna Seymour Butz! Uh, Homer Sexual?

Even though both Carth and I got our asses handed to each other by Selven, I have to say its Sherruk. This guy was a god. The Tarisian Governor was good value for money as well. Oh yeah, so was the ice-freezing droid in the Vulkar Garage.

hehehe I can answer that for yas Jag (as Ive played them all in alpha or beta or subscription. Star Wars Galaxies: Dont bother. Has almost no star wars feel to it, the grinding of xp is insanely boring. Your PUNISHED for becoming a Jedi (only class in game to have a MASSIVE xp loss at death which is caused mostly by KNOWN exploitation of Bounty Hunters yet SOE refuses to fix the exploit). SWG has the MOST potential of any game out there but SOE seems determined to avoid that potential at all costs. Upcoming changes to game will include a combat upgrade that removes buffs but does nothing regarding the insane weapon damage so one hit kills in pvp will become the norm. Other upcoming change is forced grouping with no new content which means you will now need groups of 6-8 people to kill things you use to solo. -On the SOE multipgame pass (29.95 for accounts in EQ, EQ2,SWG,Planetside, and others less known) World of Warcraft: -Most popular game on market at the moment in North America -Casual players wet dream (ultra easy leveling curve, if you play more then 10 hours a week you will not be challenged) -Has PvP but is a waterdowned version of DAoC -Limited class choice (think its 8 in total) so not alot of variety to choose from -Cartoon Graphics (some like it, some hate it, have to decide for yourself) -Only 4 months old so the jury still out if it can hold on to players long term (I personally doubt it as half the players already maxed out level wise with no real end game to partake in)...time will tell the final story though. EQ2: -Very nice graphics but very high system requirements -LOTS OF QUESTS (have members in guild at level 30 who have yet to fight something not related to current quest) -NO PVP (none planned for at moment either) -On the SOE multipgame pass (29.95 for accounts in EQ, EQ2,SWG,Planetside, and others less known) -Expect regular expansions that make it much like EQ1 where Items and levels become the final goal. EQ: -Old but still popular game -VERY HARD level curve -game is totally item and level orientated -Decent graphics (kinda like kotor xbox) -almost no new players entering so that could create hardships for a new player -VERY group orientated (you can solo with some classes but its a challenge) -On the SOE multipgame pass (29.95 for accounts in EQ, EQ2,SWG,Planetside, and others less known) Final Fantasy XI: -KotOR style graphics and zones -FORCED GROUPING (solo is NOT a option) -interesting class make up (at level 20 you can start leveling up any class to half of your primary class) -play with PS2 players (very very very annoying) -multi-country servers (i liked this but others hated it, quite often you will group with people from japan, korea, china, ect! you communicate via set language macros) -first game to add cut screen movies to a MMORPG -Over all the forced grouping, PS2 players, and lack of naming restrictions make this game not very fun to be honest. Ashrons Call 1: -terrible games, both of them - AC1 is a pkers heaven -no level limit -PKers heaven -lots of Do0dZ in game -PKers heaven (getting the picture?) Ashrons Call 2: -Worse then AC1 (nuff said) Dark Age of Camalot: -Great initial start up -game now is very "extra" orientated -put to much emphasist on PvP bonuses (realm points, MLs, Artifacts) -use to be a very good but steady learning curve, now you looking at a year minimum before you can "seriously" partake in RvR because of levels, items, RAs, and MLs needed to compete realisticly. -If you buy a account it can still be a VERY FUN game. Planetside: Space (sci fi) PvP game (if you like pve look at SWG before Planetside) EvE: -Boring -You mine ore, buy bigger ship, ine some more ore, train a skill, mine some more ore.......repeat Ultima Online: -terribly dated graphics -still laggy after all these years -somehow still holding on but doing the slow death routine City of Heros: -Superheros MMORPG -easy leveling curve but not grade school easy like WoW - Im told (this only one I havent actually played) its a fun game if your into all that sorta stuff. Worth a look if premise behind it interests you Thats about it for whats out there currently. Im a MMORPG fanatic and currently have no plans to play any MMORPGs until something new catchs my eye. Upcoming is AD&D online but its being made by Turbine (creaters of AC1 and 2) so dont hold your breath on that product, history is not on their side for quality game creation (still worth a look tho) Matrix Online: No idea how this one will play out, just not interested in it to be honest. Side note: Dont visit MMORPG forums to find out about games, MMORPG players are the most fanatical players of any computer product (100000x where WoW concerned) so getting objective insite about any specific game is not really doable! Example: WoW fanatics so bad that while I was beta testing it people who never played the game would argue with me about it. The most common used phrase at that time was "Its Blizzard so it will be better then everything else". Was really quite sad to be honest! LoL <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow...thanks for taking the time to answer my question Kalfear. I doubt I'll be buying those anytime soon, but I greatly appreciate it nevertheless.

Yeah, what Hades said is a good start. After Planescape : Torment, move on to Fallout 1 and 2. :cool: You can pick up Torment on Ebay for around $10-15, and the Fallout 1&2 jewel double pack for around the same price.

Hey, that whole KotoR II 'simultaneous release' fiasco had nothing to do with us. Geez, retaliate against the depredations of a greedy publisher, and you get branded for life. So first L.A. drops the bomb on us, and then Atari follows suit. Answer me this Phosphor - If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive. Today we celebrate our forum UNIFICATION DAY!!!!

Fairly useful advice, but people who rush through in less than 20 hours, shouldn't really be playing these games in the first place.

All the best titles are...especially RPG's.

BTW, it's been a while so bear with me, but how the hell does one 'quote' on the Bio Boards? <_<

Off the top of my head, the "best ingame feeling" games for me were King's Quest 6, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Fallout, Planecape : Torment and KotOR. From that list, I'd say the first Baldur's Gate.
