I'm playing Castille King for a first 'easy'playthrough. I think that it's easier than the first one, it seems that technology has a lot less impact in battle, thus the reconquista is not that hard. What is hard is that it seems France is very attracted by Iberian provinces and I will have some tough times later to reconquer those french provinces.

Playing Crusader Kings II, of course.

What charity? You're getting something for your investment. A game and a documentary. That's no more charity than the current model. Crowd-sourcing is a more direct democratization of the funding process. You fund things that you want to see. It puts the public closer to the corporation's role. Except the excess profits don't go to the financiers in this instance. But the extra profits can potentially go towards a better product instead. I couldn't say it better. So I won't try.

it's too much work for some of us. I like to be in control of everything in my games. and when a game tries to control me... well, I guess that's why I didn't like Persona 3 although, I do agree that's an interesting mechanic. I just wished there had been a checkbox in the options somewhere, to enable "whimp mode" I would have accepted it better if the meter decreased only during travel and sleep and not real time each second. It was too painful to have to pause and rush every time. About the difficulty of the game, as far as I remember, it's not that hard up to chapter three or four.

It's a sad day when you buy a boxset of your favorite series and have to return it just because they screwed up the disks. Also, to try and install Beyond Good & Evil on Windows7 and have it fail due to the DRM. Ugh... Any workarounds are welcome... :/ Sure, buy it on GoG. Otherwise, if it's a third party DRM (like Starforce), I've heard there may be some tricks on the support pages of the DRM software for Vista/7 issues.

You should check a wiki with some builds to have a good idea on what classes progression you will have. The build of Virumor is pretty efficient (only issues against critical hit immune monsters like undeads). Check the numerous prestige classes and check what are the requisite. For a melee character, frenzied berserker is very impressive. Also, some classes are best without multiclassing (like monk), so you should perhaps propose here what you plan to do and get some feedback from us.

It depends on the time and will you have. On one hand, learning a language is not a tough part, specifically with the high level languages there exists. But on the other hand, if you don't know how to program at all, you will either spend a lot of time learning it (most specifically architecture and development design), then a lot of time learning how to develop a real project (there are a lot of pitfalls). That's two full time jobs that will require at least two to four years of programing crap, mostly. That is learning and developing a prototype. After that, if what you want to do is designing, then you'd better begin directly with a very high level programing tool, like a game engine. Doing mods is even better for design learning.

About this point, I feel the Iorveth path to be a bit better than Roche's one. Less politics, a bit more investigations. But of course, there is not much introspection neither ( a bit in the succubus quest). I can undestand you want to wait for the EE if this is coming soon, yet.

I think you should try Iorveth path on the go, it gives a bit more satisfaction than Roche's one. But if you are bored with the game, skip it and do it when you will replay the game again from the start.

It depends on what you consider a mess : the project or the product.

I got quickly tired of King Arthur the RPW. I don't know why exactly. I was hooked at the beginning, but it became perhaps a bit too repetitive. The last remnant is ok, but not much more. Fun, but nothing really special about it. Now I'm just playing a EU3 game (with Magna Mundi), the Naples Kingdom. I'm trying to unite Italy, but I think I will have issues when annexing the Papal states. The most difficult part was the first war against Venice. The one against Aragon was pretty tough and I knew I had to do it quickly before the merge with Castile. The remaining tough part will of course be the wars against Austria. I will certainly wait for the development of the Ottoman empire before attacking the HRE.

I've seen nothing, but I've not really checked a lot of the forum.

There is a 1.4 beta patch available. In Steam, you can subscribe to the beta patch by going to your account setting (something like steam->parameters-> account tab). The patch seems to do a bit of optimizations.

There is just Crusader Kings 2 for me at the moment. But I will certainly find some other games.

Neither do I.

Some things are best ignored to death Could you develop a bit, please ? I was also wondering what this remake could be.

I can confirm this, it's the case in France. Yet it remains illegal to modify the content of a product, even for personal use (it's linked to the licenses). But if the content has a way to block personal replication, modifying it to allow replication for personal use is illegal but the content itself (blocking replication) is also illegal. Then, the replication is not generally condemned by justice because such companies putting illegal (well, at the limit of legality at least) protections don't sue people modifying the content. The illegality of the modification of content is to protect artists and developers from deviation of their creation. Of course, it's delicate to separate the artistic content from what is its material or immaterial support. It's easy for a book (the content is what is written, the support is the paper, ink ...) or a material product. For a digital product, there is no clear separation.

I tried that with the Dark elves and has seen my team take several casualties. Conclusion, elves are better in run and passes than in contact play.

It's absurd. Everything may be cracked. It's a common cryptography issue. Globally, everything engineered can be retro engineered. So, of course, next generation consoles will certainly be cracked. The only variable is the time people will have to wait to obtain such crack.

I won't buy it unless it's at a very low price (less than 10 euro). It's not that bad, but not very attractive.

I confirm. I had the exact same problem and turning off post processing does the trick.

I've just bought Anno 1701 gold from gamersgate. I'll see tomorrow if it's fun.

I've only played half of the XCom games (counting the UFO ones) and most are good games. So I'm interested in a reboot of the first ones.

I'm not sure 'story' and 'warhammer' go well together, but I'm no expert. I'd rather see a CRPG made on Elric of Melnibone or Hawkmoon's story. But it's already been said.

Books give some background and can help you for contracts if you don't want to kill a lot of monsters before having an idea on how to do the contract. Recipes are scarcelly found, so you may want to buy the one for which you have interest in. About equipment, normally, you should have enough gold to buy a complete set at the beginning of each chapter. If you are well advanced in chapter one, you'd better wait for chapter 2 now. Crafting equipment with special ingredients is always a bit better than buying new equipment but can become quite expensive. The arm wrestling mini game is a bit tedious : there is a bar and a circle, you need to put the circle inside the bar and follow the displacement of the bar (to the right if the circle is inside the bar or to the left otherwise). As time passes, the bar shrinks. With M/K configuration, you move the circle with the mouse movement alone.
