Icewind Dale 2 keeps crashing
No, I have XP The thing is I saw it there at fileplanet but I'm not going to register and give money to that site edit: found it from here Now I just have to wait and see if it works... must I take 3D acceleration off after patching?

Icewind Dale 2 keeps crashing
It crashes in character creation window. I get fine up to the point when I must choose appereance. Then screen freezes and moment later game crashes. Initial googling seems to put blame on NVidia drivers (I have NVidia card) and it was suggested that I use the same trick I had to use for PS:T (that had corrupted spell effects), namely stripping all 3D acceleration away. It didn't help. I don't get error message but after freezing screen goes black for a moment and then game crashes all the same. I even went as far strippin ALL acceleration away but it didn't help at all. Any ideas? edit: supposedly patch 2.01 saves me from this horror, but umm...where can I find it with BIS being buried and all?

MMO, please?
New reincarnation isn't same as the old one. However remembering how company philosophy and developing ideals plus lots of people from BIS came to work in OE over the time comparison is permittable

Best of Playstation
1. Metal Gear Solid* Spyro games (1, 2, 3) Syphon Filter I & II (maybe 3 too, dunno) Ape Escape Final Fantasy IX (VII and X sucks *****) Medievil (1 & 2, esp. 2) Tekken 3 Tenchu 1 & 2 Resident Evil 2 & 3 Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy VI Crash Bandicoot(s) GTA 2 Driver 2 Dino Crisis And propably bazillion other titles I don't remember. Ape Escape was my first PSone game and it still is my favourite platform game You'd do better with buying PS2 though, games got on average a lot better *even if you dislike later installations in the series this is ace game My top picks would propably be: 1. Metal Gear Solid 2. Syphon Filter II 3. Tekken 3

KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 25
Except you get to kick ass of Arthas himself Only difference would be trivial - you control one character or platoon. In WoW you don't play as some random foot soldier. You go on and kick ass of Kel Thuzad and like, obvious core characters and enemies of the setting just like in RPG. Only difference is there are millions others doing the same thing. MMO players don't want to have nothing IMPORTANT to do. In Guild Wars your actions and importance is just as vast as in single player RPG. same with WoW. Your ragtag bunch of players does all the same stuff your hero and NPC party would. As I said difference would only be trivial. And Battleground system or whatever it is called is quite advanced. I'm not sure if it lets you to command AI characters fighting but YOU and your FRIENDS are the key of quests, shaping the world, saving plot critical characters (like millions of others), investigating strange ruins (like millions of others), kicking bad mofos asses (like millions of others) etc. ONLY difference is that in MMO it all is utterly meaningless. But that doesn't change core nature of game's important missions. Besides, the Battlegrounds system (based on which you refer MMO characters as foot soldiers) is not integral to main storyline quests and raids which players are doing all the time. No, WoW retconned whole Warcraft mythos and added bazillions of new stuff. And you don't play as mere "foot soldier" if you don't want to, you get to change the whole world, defeating slumbering Ancient Gods (stolen from Lovecraft btw) rising from depths of earth... untill mission resets to next party that is. again you're confusing battleground skirmishes and small time missions with BIG storyline quests and raids that are ever present in MMO's. Especially in games like LotR Online and Guild Wars difference in main character's importance (in comparison to single player PC) is near to null. You save the world in MMO's too. It is completely meaningless but you do it. You really think MMO players would be happy with merely standing by and not doing anything important? I find this whole deal with you guys trying to squeeze out the hellhole kotor has fallen in rather humorous as your misconceptions about MMO story and quest structures

KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion, Part 25
The game's story as it ended in Frozen Throne was retconned and continued in entirely different form in WoW. In WoW there's a lot storyline missions (and more comes with updates) that directly continue the main story. Now with upcoming Wrath of the Lich King gamers are going to get in the epic battle with Arthas and his armies, the biggest looming threat and obvious main plot point left after Frozen Throne. The thing is if WC4 ever gets made (and WoW has already postponed it with many years if not for forever) - I'd like to have sauce for that "I've heard" stuff - it'll have to start from entirely new point, maybe even hundred years forward from WC3. In Kotor franchise that equals to restarting whole franchise. Unless the MMO focuses on Mandalorian Wars (which is less likely for couple of reasons) it'll take place in True Sith war, which is essentially core of K3. If K3 later gets made it is entirely new game with different timeline, characters etc.
- MMO, please?

You do know WoW replaced any plans for Warcraft IV, right?

MMO, please?
Yeah yeah Volo we've heard that hundred times Core of the Obz, as well as their developing ideals and such similar stuff, are directly from Black Isle days. You could say OE is Black Isle reincarnated

OEI is looking for a lead artist for an upcoming undisclosed title
Well, reportedly if SoZ sells well there'll be NX3 with 90 % certainty However the game's not shipped yet (which is main reason why I just don't shrug my shoulders and consider it as NX3) so why would they start it already...? I also found out that interview is from March - time when both SoZ and AP were unnanounced so I was right, yay Most curious...
