Books
Just finished rererererererereading Jonathan Livinston Seagull, one of the wisest and best books ever written. I still think same way I did after reading it for very first time: Everyone should read it at least once. I've read some 60 pages of Dostoevsky Crime and Punishment. I doubt that book needs introduction. I am also rereading Eiji Yoshikawa's Miyamoto Musashi after 3-4 years. It's still best sold book in Japan. Great and epic book about live of Musashi, propably greatest samurai of all time and national hero of Japan. I love this book. Dan SIMMONS Maybe THE scifi book of all time

K1RP
So, it looks like Team Gizka is inspiring bunch of people. I'm very sad for Team Bantha's fate (K.I.A ), but I'm happy to see some new people in restoration front. One might say this "Team Jawa" has dropped the ball and maybe they have, but one must admire pure goofiness and incredibilty of their purpose: Knights of the Old Republic Restoration Project. This project has just started so if this project ever gets finished its going to take some time, although I doubt as much TSLRP has taken. Not even nearly as much. Some of this stuff has already been restored completely (ie. Deadeye Duncan quest) so that cuts time shorter too. And judging from Holowan webs topic it looks like this bunch of modders aren't complete newbies either, which gives me some hope and faith. I doubt however, that Sleheyron will be restorable. It was cut (at least according to my sloppy memory) quite early and there even isn't modules. Besides, most of its missions were transisted to other planets. My two cents are that Sleheyron will be dropped from the list. Another problematic thing is Sarlacc, how by all the hells they are going to make THAT? That'll be some problem. Overall I have faith in this project, it mostly depends on them getting more people on it (not problem really, since this has just started and there's already quite many of them) and keeping up their ambition. Luckily they were given link to this topic, so that propably helps them with planning. I will have eye on this project

NWN2: Forumite Impressions
Nope. Meh :confused: Lol, how could I misunderstood "Nope". I somehow managed to think that you said that it's still in beta phase. That's just silly Does 1.04 patch enhance performance at all? I've heard it doesn't, but I'm just hopeful and thickheaded person. I haven't played game again simply because of poor performance which 1.03 patch somehow caused

TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline
This is kind of stupid question, but will all fixes you've already published come with .exe, or will I have to download them all manually?

Do you prefer the Fantasy genre for CRPG's ?
Star Wars is fairy tale/fantasy story in space. Nothing about SW's technology or setting is based on science. For example you can hear voices in space. Midichlorian thing is biggest crap GL ever invented, he had constantly changed his view on subject. Some time ago he annulled all talk about midichlorians, then stand behind midiclhorians again... It looks like the finan view on subject is that midichlorians aren't the force, they only make it possible to connect to it. So force still is supernatural and unscientific entitity. Besides, whole idea of some micro creatures within our each cell is completely laughable. Whole story/concept is fantasy too, to be more precise, Space Opera. The beginning phrase "A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away" speaks for itself. Science Fiction takes place in future and in this world. There's no supernatural (like Force) and it always is somewhat based on (unless humans have nothing to do with novel) what is currently predicted about future. And the story... there's nothing scifi about it. Just strip space as a milieu and you have story/concept that is pure fantasy.

What about if game is just called "Star Wars game" or something like that? And no, SW isn't scifi. alanschu: Short answer: Those without supernatural content

Exactly If it was "pseudomedieval fantasy" instead of "fantasy" I hadn't chosen "fantasy". I'm tired of pseudomedieval fantasy crpg's. As a whole: Nope, fantasy is too varying genre to ever get bored But really, it doesn't matter as long game is good IMO it wasn't clear at all

Rome TW Barbarian Invasion
I've done that twice (with VH) and trust me, that's ridiculously hard. Can't remember how many times I've failed. I remember always abandonding most of my cities and slowly rebuilding from Italy/few other places. Damnit, I can't remember which cities they were since it has been long time when I played RT:IB. I propably should start agian... Anyway, I did quick google for you and found this: Western Empire Walkthrough I hope that helps edit: Fixed the link

Kotor III release or any offical news please!!
No, that's true. I won't bother to find a link though. Latest official word is that "LA won't leave Kotor franchise behind", so now you could easily change question from will to when K3 will be made. Personally I don't believe K3 being under production right now

"Why I Hate Fantasy RPGs"
Long novels tend to contain a lot more than movies. But then if I start a book, I prefer to finish it without a break, if possible. I guess that is just my take on entertainment media. Besides, games have more in common with movies than books

Common sense agrees with him- What you couldn't do/say in KotOR II...
Beam me up Scotty!- Combat in KOTOR 2
Unless you use it from the inventory screen Ah yes, my lil' secret weapon when fighting against Malak for very first time- Combat in KOTOR 2
edit: We NEED delete button- KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 22
These things are completely unrelated DAWUSS <_< When K3 comes out K1 & K2 are OLD games and there's new group (generation is too strong term) of players that have never played Kotors... There were many who bought K2 without ever playing K1. I had never played BG1 when playing BG2 etc.- Baldur's Gate - whole series for ten quid
BG1 sucks- KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 22
Besides, do you guys understand MANY who'll play K3 have never played K1 or K2? <_<- Mass Effect Interview
Only few things annoy me more than that f*cking codex- This will be mines in less than 2 weeks
Apparently. Quite surprising to be honest.- This will be mines in less than 2 weeks
Hahaha! Luckily our closest genetic relatives are germans, not some silly swedes. - The Music Thread
