Yes, I'm sure that makes everything all right. So not only does the junkie STILL get their fix, other people have to needlessly suffer along side them. The reason why they "give" the drugs to the addict isn't to "solve their problems" (in your words), nor is it even to save money.

What about the family that suffers through their son getting murdered, because some junkie needed some extra cash for his fix?

Given I don't particularly care for doing completely random exploration, I don't miss it in NWN2. I don't mind side quests or exploration, as long as it makes sense to do it. And the main quest absolutely cannot give the impression that there is some urgency to it. Ultima VII makes perfect sense, as you are brought in basically to learn what is troubling the land. So you're in essence encouraged to explore. Morrowind was also good for this (from what I remember), though Oblivion not so much. FF7 was goofy, because there's a big giant meteor coming towards the planet as you spend time chilling at the Golden Saucer.

That's not true at all. The Carsomyr is very useful, but I don't need it. Timestop is insanely useful, but I don't need it. Armor is useful, but I don't need it.

A fugly game, but we won, so I won't care too much. Roloson rocks!

SO what does Lawful, Chaotic, Neutral, Good, and Evil mean?

It's a weird world if a hungarian understands the meaning of alignment better than some american guys. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> WTF are you talking about?

Well, the DMs in the computer games seems pretty consistent.

Why don't you put your My Documents on your game drive, and just do typical Save As for your Word and other documents on your C drive? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why should Hades have to change the entire way he uses his computer just because of NWN2? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> See, this is the problem. You're blaming EVERYTHING on Neverwinter Nights 2. If you noticed, he was bitching and moaning about other games doing the same thing. I offered a solution to his problem, since it would mean that he wouldn't have to worry about space constraints or anything of the like. Furthermore, it's HARDLY changing "the entire way he uses his computer" as if you choose to move your "My Documents" folder, it asks you if you want to move all the contents as well. The change is so amazingly superficial, and exceptionally easy to do. I'd argue that playing something that you don't enjoy is much more pointless. You're just grasping at ways to bitch out the game if you honestly expect game developers to make estimates based on SAVED GAMES. They might as well say you need a full 250 GB, since if I was reckless with my saved games that's how much space they would take up.

Its stupid. Playing the part of a mercenary is not evil, it would be more neutral than good or evil. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you keep doing it over and over, I could see an argument otherwise. Especially given that Evil seems to mean selfish in the D&D world.

Well, my sword's ability to Dispel Magic on hit was rather awesome. Magic Missile was the mirror image destroyer.

And you're the genious that keeps playing something that he hates

I remember using breach pretty much all the time. Even when my guys had +5 Carsomyrs and whatnot.

I don't know for sure, but check out the Warlock. It looked like I was unable to select any classes as a Warlock, but maybe it was an alignment restriction.

Oh well, that leeway it seems is counteracted by the extreme underrepresentation of the white male in reported crimes and so on. Not to mention the over representation of white males in white collar, high income jobs. I'm a white male myself, and I wouldn't go around saying that the minorities have the ability "to walk all over those that have been 'in power.'" The reason why it seems minorities have all this "power" is a counterpoint to the fact that white males are still the dominant power brokers of Western civilization. It's just that it's so institutional and systemic that it's all taken for granted.

Freelancer (a game released in 2001 or so) has its saved games show up in My Documents as well. This is nothing new, and while there are still games out there that don't do this, it's becoming pretty common. I had no idea you were qualified at all to make such a statement. If you have a concern, it'd probably be best to inquire in a bit less of an "OMG I hate this game and everything about it, yet I still play it because my goal is to bash it beyond belief" type rant, and just ask. As for complaining about the file size and recommended HD space, all I have to say is give it a rest. We get that you don't like anything about the game, and that you'll stoop to any level to bash it. There's no need for you to bother posting rants, especially about inane things like how much file space it uses, and blasting it because it's recommended requirements didn't take into account that you'd have 30 different save game files I guess I should have bitched out Ion Storm, because I had over a GB of saved games for Deus Ex, and that was back in 2000, when I only had a 60 GB HD and not a 250 GB HD. If you're finding saved games are taking up too much room, then delete the saved games you don't need any more. The 100+ MB saves only come towards the end of the game, and if you're not making a million different saves for every 5 steps you take in the game, you're not going to actually need 3 gigabytes of space for your saved games.

WRONG! He never said any such thing. Sorry, I'll believe Pronger before some chump on a message board. The issues he had were not with the team. There's more to his life than the team that he plays for. I figured you'd know that. I guess I over estimated you. Pronger initially requested a trade midseason. Kevin Lowe asked him to wait it out until the end of the season, to see if he might reconsider. For a guy that allegedly hated the team, he sure did a wonderful job of playing to the absolute best of his ability (including a level of play far above what he was playing prior to the trade request. He had a poor start of the season compared to the end and the playoffs). He had every opportunity to phone it in, but didn't. Most people don't do that if they dislike the organization that they are playing for. Especially when they've already secured a very lucrative 5 year deal. Because you're a troll. In fact, you've since changed your mind. First you were slagging on the city itself, stating that that was why Pronger left. And now that you see a different avenue to cause trouble, you've decided to change your interpretation so that it's Pronger didn't like specifically the Oilers. Your entire posting history is filled with antics such as this. I'm surprised you even bother denying it. If you were even half of an Oiler fan, you would already know all about the Pronger situation (including I'm sure a ton of false rumours). Your being a 'fan' of the team is simply because of the Messier connection (in your own words even). It probably wasn't covered to much down in North Bay, but here in Edmonton the fact that he stated repeatedly that there were issues with his family, and he felt it was his obligation as a husband and a father to place the needs of his family ahead of his playing career. But I'm sure that the numerous interviews he has done stating this was all just a cover, and that the truth of the matter was that he just didn't like the Oilers. And that's the only reason.

I enjoyed Grobnar as well. "Oh boy...this makes me feel like a Gnome. Which is good, because I am a Gnome!"

Sorry, I'm going to believe you over what FCP himself has actually said. The reasons have been cryptic, but they relate to the family. And while we don't know the specific reason, the most popular consensus among most fans and the media, were that his family did not feel comfortable in the city. I actually have no beef with the guy. He did something based on what he thought was best for his family. And I'm certainly going to take his word over someone that's just trying to get the couple of Edmonton fans on this board riled up by spreading additional hearsay.

I'd think more about different people, if I had encountered more Githerzai. Since Dak'kon is the only other one that I am familiar with, it would make sense that I'd be reminded of him. He's the only basis for comparison that I know of. Looking at it deeper, it seems as though they are both big believers in the teachings of Zerthimon. So the connection makes even more sense.

As a not so funny aside, the only person I know personally that has had struggles with the game is my roommate, who pirated the game. Not that legit people aren't having issues, but it did remind me of the pirated copy of the Half-Life expansion, Opposing Forces, that had issues with the game that were actually found to be limited to only the pirated version. It was hilarious watching people bitch out Gearbox/Valve for the problems, only to eat their words and stumble saying that they did have legit copies and all that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> good for those you know (except your roommate) I know about 20 players, and only one has no problem at all (he says) all others (including me) have one problem or the other, I just don't talk about it, because i hope for : a. more patches b. money to get better parts for my PC <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I suggest you look closely at my post. On a final note, why did you except my roommate? He's the one that DIDN'T pay for the game. I just laughed at him.

Of course, Dak'kon is a Githerzai, just liek Z is. Kind of like when I see someone speaking French, I think of French people.

What? Chris Pronger himself has said he has no issues with the team, nor with any person related to the organization.
