YAH HUR HR WE ALL LIKE STRAWMANS

VOLOURN IS STUPID BUT THAT IS NOTHING NEW CAPS LOCK IS THE CRUISE CONTROL FOR THE COOL VOLOURN IS STUPID Tolkien's stuff largerly came from mythologies - especially celtic ones - not earlier fantasy books. Middle-Earth is still most carefully constructed fictional world that has ever been done. FR is just mismash of stuff people making it thought would give enough variety for DM's to make intriguing campaign. In the process they destroyed anything else.

High magic also strips magic of its inheritent power and meaning, making it is as trivial and boring as boots your character wear. And that is something good fantasy world doesn't let happen. This is what Tolkien for one figured out immeaditly (magic is vague and minimalistic but utterly powerful. Ways it works are obscure as are the rules governing it. Compare that to FR where every commoner could theoretically carry magical trinkets) Magic is rare and dangerous (DA): OH MY GOD THAT GUY SET HIM ON FIRE GAAAAHHHH RUN or: OH ****, that guy is dangerous, rogue, try to sneak at him from behind and put some cold steel between his lungs while we distract him Magic is trivialised (FR for example): crap, that guy shot fireball at us. Cleric, heal us! thnx. K guys lets drink these potions of valour, owl's splendor, cat's grace, bless, heal, barksin etc. and kick that guys butt. It's not like that fire did much damage anyway thanks to our 40 % fire resistance rings

On topic: I LIKED DRAGON AGE MORE WHEN IT WAS CALLED THE TWO TOWERS ummm... even more important in low/high fantasy sense than what's the X after + is how magic and phat loot is spread. Magical equipment should be rare in low magic setting. That's exactly what you described. It doesn't matter if it is +2 or +5 sword from low magic setting pov in that situation. BUT if you're going to give one

They all should be free Best thing: A lot better dialogue (translations)

Yeah, FR is collection "Let's steal everything from Tolkien, Howard and other big names as well as let's rape superficial aspects of every single culture on earth lol." FR is amalgation of everything. But there is no single thing that is original in it. And how Volo can claim Tolkien is trash yet like Aber Toril is way beyond human understanding.

I tried the demo but combat was horrid and clunky. (Cinematics were good though) I can't understand how some codexians can whine about NWN2 combat and yet like TW's But it still had all potential to be great game, I didn't play it too much and presumably tutorial is weakest part of the game

Dude, ME dethroned frickin' Fallout as Hades's favourite game

EXACTLY

The Beatles - I Want You (She's So Heavy)

One of his greatest achievements was early on Aliens RPG development getting some very interesting tidbits by cross referring between Sawyer's few, short posts at SA and two other really, really obscure sites And that's only one of those mad feats... funcroc sees and knows everything (my suggestion for personal photo, lol ) related to OE that ever gets past your office doors, beware Great thing to hear we're going to get cinematics

Morrowinf had art direction
