There's a PS1 version of X-COM?????? OMFG!!!!

I wonder if the debate would be so hot if Bungie was making FO3? Or Id. Or Raven.

How about a gun that fires lightning bolts. Or cars that run on fairy dust. Cameras that actually steals the soul of savages.

Ew. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah what a waste. How could Jeremy Irons even conceive a role like that. Oh wait... $$$ :D

A friend of mine made a Barbarian Gnome.

Ok that makes more sense. It's not a bad idea imo but it's a detail that doesn't affect gameplay much. Basically what you want is NWN2 in a fallout setting?

Say no to magic in technology game settings. Unless it makes it cool

How can you have a first-person view AND a free roaming camera? A free-roaming first-person view? Like spectator view in online shooter games?

In Morrowind, you play however you want. You can keep it balanced or you can screw it all up. In a few minutes with the construction set you can change entire races and classes to your liking. The story: You are possibly a reincarnation of the Nerevarine, a Messiah that will rid the world of Dagoth Ur and his following. The game lets you find out if you are the prophesied one or not. A series of events, including dying & surviving a plague, makes you the Nerevarine in the eyes of the people of Morrowind. You will need to learn about the history and culture of the native Dark Elves and "befriend" a few leaders of their tribes by undergoing a rather long series of trials that range from fetching things to killing beasts to escorting people and finding lost tribe members, all of which will allow you to gather the items you need to defeat Dagoth Ur and explore most of the Island of Vvardenfell. To launch the storyline, you must head for Balmora and find Caius Cossades, a member of the Blades, which is a secret organization working under direct orders from the King. Caius's orders are to help you become who the King believes you to be(which is basically a hero powerful enough to defeat Dagoth Ur). The info you need for this is in your inventory... Or you could just complete quests, join multiple factions and explore the land until your character maxes out all the stats. Get all the official Mods from Bethesda. This will tweak your journal(also available by getting the first and/or second expansion), give you extra armour, weapons, quests and other ways to move around the land, as well as patch a few other things. Morrowind has almost become only about mods. You don't like the combat? Get the enhanced combat mod. Find the visuals bland? Download the Beautiful Morrowind mod. It's all there, including difficulty tweakers, texture packs, buildings, landmasses, weapons, books, anything you can think of is there. And it's a great game, a RPG that stays away from the D&D stuff(in it's original version, some mods can change that if you want...) If you have the XBox version though, you are screwed

Nah, he was just so far away from the nuclear blast, that he could avoid radition and be safe so long as he ducked when the explosion hit. If he were a cylon, the whole cylon/human offspring concept would be void. Besides, Baltar can't be cylon simply because he represents some of the worst sides of humanity Probably because the actors playing the other cylons haven't been cast yet. And probably also because the writers wants to keep it a surprise who they are. A consistent point on Galactica is that *any* of the known characters could be cylons. Well, maybe not Adama... Hmm, could Apollo or Starbuck be a cylon? :D Well, I'm still not sure we've seen who really pulls the strings among the cylons... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Apollo can't be a Cylon because he has a history with humans in the fleet. He's known Starbuck for a long time before the invasion, and his father knows him since he was born... Same with Starbuck. Adama cannot be a Cylon either because he's been known by many humans for a very long time. The Caprica scenes, I agree with you. It was slight sarcasm since it's a plothole. ***SPOILER*** The nuclear blast at Baltar's home was strong enough to kill Caprica 6's previous incarnation. Baltar is the main villain in the series and I think he is a Cylon, possibly Model #1, pulling all the strings. Or not. Would be cool though :D

Pink Floyd : Hey You! "Out there on your own Sitting naked by the phone Can you hear me?"

My guess is that it would be your dad subscribing, not you. And he probably don't like Digimon too much?

It's still based on a movie... " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sorry about being a nitpicker. I was just worried about you comparing my beloved Pirates! with that thing published by that other company... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well this latest Pirates! is very good. Addictive to the extreme. Beautiful, fun, simple, educational(!).

It's still based on a movie... "

Hey that was a good movie. Kubrick rules when it came to movies, they are hard to understand at times but that is what makes him a genius. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Colors are very important in his movies and that is especially apparent in EWS. They show hidden feelings, things the actors are not showing about the characters. The very last scene in EWS, in the kids store, is very revealing in that regard. You can pick up a lot of hidden meaning in colors in Kubrick movies, like another level of storytelling. It's fascinating. Oh and E.T. is in my top 5 of all time. Nobody ever mentions E.T. anymore. I for one am proud to say it still moves me. :">

You're right! I feel really stupid now. Sorry for the wasted space guys. :">

Agreed. TOS was fun, TNG was smart, the rest was filler. And R. Berman killed it.

I meant Pirates! Not Pirates of the Caribbeans. The game where you buy a little boat, then attack bigger boats, sell things to buy bigger boats, conquer big boats by weakening them with different ammo types, boarding them and fighting the captain using a rapier or a sabre and a couple of moves. Going ashore and walking around to find treasures and clues to your family history and so forth. I'm not sure if it was developped or published by, but Bethesda had something to do with it. It's not Sea Dogs 2 either. It's something like Tortuga but better. it's rated like 9.5 on Gamespot, classified as Strategy/RPG. it was released 6 months ago, maybe a year.

Yeah, I agree. It may sound gory, but we've seen sliced off body parts in every film. It's sort of expected. And D20 Star Wars rules do allow for it - just implement the Wounds rules. Who cares if the Sith lord loses the hand or even the head once he's down to negative vitality anyway? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They could tie it into "critical hits". Or misses. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's called an "T" rating. Dismemberment rules would chuck that right out the window. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy were rated T and they had dismemberment as an option. No blood though.

Stay on topic here. We are discussing Bethesda and not Bioware. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I

LEGO Star Wars has just achieve Greatest Status on PS2 so as I am a cheap bastard I bought it, finally. Took me 2-3 hours to go through it once and now I'm picking up the rest of the small stuff like filling up those Jedi Meters and collecting the pieces foe the ships. The great thing about this game is that now my girlfriend is completely addicted to it. I can't wait for #2. And also, I hope they branch out into other movie franchises like LotR, Indiana Jones, Gremlins, E.T.(ok, maybe not E.T.), Goonies, Last Starfighter, etc. (w00t)

***POSSIBLE SPOILER*** Does this mean Baltar is a Cylon or a higher form of human that can withstand a nuclear blast? ***END OF POSSIBLE SPOILER*** How come when we have scenes on Caprica, only the models we have seen already are present and the last five are not? Wouldn't they all mingle amongst themselves? Are those Centurions something more than just tin cans with guns? Wouldn't it be cool if they were still the "real" Cylons, pulling all the strings? The intro to that last episode was amazing. At the very end of the episode, a Raptor leaves a ship. Is the woman in the Raptor or still on the ship? I didn't get that.... :">

I have. It's with Guy Pierce and that crazy Irish actor who played in Trainspotting, a bond vilain and some other stuff. Can't remember his name. He plays the cannibal of course.

And you missed mine.

Anyone here could say the same about your taste or lack of it. To each his own.
