choice without consequences = meh

You talking about Tuatha De Danann? Elves inspirations come from the generic "angels" stories and Nordic myths such as Lj

no no no, it was bigger Redneck!

AND I got cool, old time huge cardboard box with it! So there!

I bought Civ IV for ten euros from Germany In Finland it still costs about 40 euros So...haha!

Don't you mean TSR? Stupid corporates

Awesome, I hope it isn't changed

I think it is just Betheda's desperate attempt to lure Sand to buy the game

Only thing not original about elves and orcs were their names What's next, am I not very different thing than some human being that had my name before me? No, I am different. Does that mean I have right to copyright the name? Umm... no Oh, and WotC also stole hobbits

I disagree; Tolkien could write well ...unless we're talking about characters and all that... He's no Kafka, Steinbeck or Dickens for sure (it is **** you for those to compare them to Tolkien) but on great scale of writers he's definetly on "good" perimeters. But then again, it's not like fantasy literature has any other great writers in it than some Le Guin here and some Martin there... what I'm saying is, fantasy literature sucks

lol u r so funny

Nope, both orcs and elves as we see them in Tolkien's works are original creations. Elf meaned very different thing in England when Tolkien wrote Hobbit and his other works

(actually WotC was clever enough to call it balor instead of Balrog. Design is that of balrog though, not of one eyed giant *shrug* ) Tolkien was great writer. The Hobbit might be his best written work. It is very witty and charming...so very english Not to say LotR's writing isn't great but it is tad a bit heavyweight at places (which was choice from Tolkien's part). But still it has many genius bits in it. The story of Turin Turambar is especially well written, leaving LotR and maybe Hobbit too behind it as far as writing goes. Silmarillion - although being LotR heavyweightness tp ^10 - is also great work with very good writing at places. Tolkien didn't steal anything. He borrowed stuff, revised and tweaked and sometimes completely changing their meaning (e.g word elf. Elves themselves are entirely original). It is quite a big difference to FR and FR cosmology in which you can copy & paste Yssgard, egyptian gods (even acknowledging they are egyptian gods from EARTH) and all that

Again. I love this track With Dark Side of the Moon's Brain Damage/Eclipse couple and Sgt Pepper's A Day In Life one of best album enders evarr

I remember when I first encountered balor in some CRPG... I was quite new to FR. I burst some veins when WotC were ****y enough to even steal the ****ing name edit: brainfart, they didn't steal the name, but the design and everything else apart from the name. Name is off the same creature word barlog was derived from though

Nope, both orcs and elves as they are nowadays known are Tolkien's creations Tolkien took the name "Ork" (and changed k to c) from old english or something. It means monster or something like that like Pid said. edit: sorry, old english

more like villagers are trying to torch you

Spies games have been around since beginning. But nothing like AP has

I'm totally addicted at PS:T currently Roll your eyes if you want but combat was a lot better than I remembered.
