Why?

You can also kill yours. Clearly they aren't invincible. How did Nines kill his? I'm supporting it because I don't think it's as bad of a design choice as you make it out to be. As previously stated, I clearly found the encounter to be an enjoyable one.

That control is a facade. You don't have any more or less control over what your character really says. It just means you don't know what the PC is going to say before he says it. Dialog options in today's RPGs are still pretty cut and dry, and I don't think it's a stretch that most people pick them based on what sort of impression the dialogue is, rather than what the words specifically are. People often pick the "nice" option or the "evil" option, or the "neutral" option. It's a very rare thing to have two options that are both "nice." And if there are, it's usually dealing with an extreme (one is much nicer than the other). Which is still easy enough to replicate with the system Bioware is implementing.

But none of them are a werewolf. If you had killed other werewolves fine, you'd have consistency issues. But given the game slapped you across the face saying Don't fight the werewolf. You can't win! Don't even think about it. It won't work!, it's hardly inconsistent. Unless you were metagaming your character, knowing that in the rules the game is based on, you should be able to hurt the werewolf in spite of the gigantic, obvious warnings a far more elite, superior, and knowledgeable vampire was telling you just moments before the werewolf came lunging out at him and in all likelihood killed him. Telling you straight up that it was pointless to even attempt to go up against a werewolf. The same vampire that had no qualms telling the Prince bull**** at the beginning of the game, and dealt with a group of Sabbat that were about to ash your ass like he had ice water flowing through his veins, but was so absolutely scared of sticking around because of these werewolves.

I am indifferent. I don't know how it will be, and I am curious if the initial dislike has moer to do with it just not being something we are used to (i.e. different).

Wow, are you ever going to be dissapointed! Just a hint: Don't trust the Danish on this board, their sneaky. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I suspect things may be anti-climactic as well. At least no one here seems to be scaring you off the board (yet). Though you talk a big game, and might be able to withstand some of the more...difficult...posters.

No kidding. "Why is the apocolypse upon us?" "Uh...well...I wasn't able to play M2TW"

I tried playing it, but it just felt so dated. Had I actually played it back in the day, it'd have the nostalgia factor (I can play the old school games that I enjoyed playing while growing up, but not so much the other games). Good luck.

I had no idea people were such fans of black!

Could you get the flamethrower by that point?

I'm sure it would be the apocolypse!

You're making a logical assumption that since the only way we could kill it was with the observatory, hence it required observatory doors to kill it. The only conclusion we can make from the game though, was that conventional weapons and disciplines had no effect. Who knows what Nines was able to manipulate in the environment when he got knocked down the hill.

So? Who's to say he had to use the observatory?

According to Hades it does Oh come on. A lack of consistency? If you were fighting and killing werewolves the entire game and suddenly met up with one that was invincible, sure. If you hadn't been told just prior by a guy who was an exceptional badass, and been a vampire way longer than you, that it was futile to try going toe-to-toe with a werewolf, then sure, some lack of consistency. Yes, there's one way to kill it, but hey, you don't even have to kill it. But this is coming from someone that claims that Half-Life was particularly bad for these guys (with the grand total of 2 "gimmick" bad guys existing in that game), so I'm not sure what to think. Talk about inconsistency!

Irrelevant. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We also don't know how Nines killed it.

We didn't know that at the time.

Not really. Nines repeated over, and over, and over, that there was no point in trying to fight a werewolf. I thought he made it quite clear it was pretty much an exercise in futility. When I saw the zeroes shooting up when I shot the werewolf, I realized what Nines was talking about. It wasn't really all that big of a surprise.

Especially when one stated he was drinking at 10 am in the morning earlier that day as well. Whiskey at that.

I suspect he's unhappy because some people voted poorly on his hot or not picture.

No. Because I don't know why Tavion's body would slow him down. As for Sidious' power....let me write a book. There will be no mistaking he's more powerful.

Well, I figured you yourself were trolling when you did it. So I figured I'd play along.

I had fun doing it. One of the most interesting parts of the game. A big game of cat and mouse, resulting in the destruction of an observatory, as you waited anxiously for the Gondola to come up. It's too bad you couldn't see it that way.

You must enjoy lying since you do it so much. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Were you just stoking the fire with this comment?

It didn't break the consistency of the game, because you don't fight many werewolves. In fact, it's the only one you encounter. If you bumped into other werewolves, and they weren't invincible, then you would have a case. Fun is fun. And the werewolf was fun. It was something different, which is refreshing in a long game as they typically tend to get repetitive (and by that time, Bloodlines was starting to get pretty repetitive with its hack and slash).

You certainly have custom character creation. It's too bad out of all the CRPGs in the world, Gothic is the only one he doesn't like.
