It seemed like a contradiction to me as well.

What kind of games had Bioware done before Baldurs Gate? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A mech combat game

Hehe, I keep getting guilty feelings because I enjoy it!

RUN AWAY RUN AWAY!

Yup. Perfectly reasonable.

Looks like I'll be breaking some promises to some board members "

You have openly admitted to not being reasonable in the past.

I've played worse.

What the hell are you talking about, Alan? The minority of players refuse to call Diablo an RPG? First of all, that's a hard fact to prove, but I'd claim the other way around. Most players, except for the hard-core RPG elite, seem to consider Diablo an RPG. Personally, I consider it an RPG. It's not an RPG in the way that some uber-leet, pretentious RPGers think of them, but it sure as hell has the trappings as far as I can tell. I get a kick out of your take on the industry most of the time, but you're plain offtrack on this one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was a typo. Minority of gamers seem intent on making sure Diablo is NOT referred to as an RPG.

r00fles!

I have mixed feelings about the "see the reaction" prior to making your decision. On the one hand, it seems silly to be able to know the reaction before hand. On the other hand, when I talk with people in real life I doubt I'm quite as blind as I am in a video game when thinking of appropriate things to say to an individual. It'd be really cool if this was affected by some sort of maniuplation attribute or something, and lower scores would result in less significant "prediction" (is he smiling, or is it just an idle animation?), or perhaps even incorrect readings.

I haven't seen burn in on any CRT monitor made in probably the last 15 years. The thing I like most about my CRT is resolution flexibility. EDIT: Consider yourself lucky then Arkan, you don't notice it so it's no big deal.

Dowloading Galactic Civ 2 at this moment.

It's possible to make a character that sucks in NWN?

Ah, I see you are a stranger to the process of software due diligence. One major problematic consideration is that every change to a piece of software, no matter how small and well intentioned, can potentially affect every other line of code in an unpredictable way: predictability inversely proportional to complexity of code. So just imagine what an ad hoc, poorly thought out patch might do ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unless the code is properly decoupled

Fixed! I mean, if I was loaded with money to burn I'd do it just because

I suspect there are a tiny selection games released in the history of video gaming that really were priced accordingly. That would put a $60 full retail game at 15 hours in length.

Jade Empire did this with text selection options as well.

(w00t)

Try opening up your party selection screen and seeing if you can select the other party members.

The dude is comparing KOTOR 2 characters to Jade Empire.

Isn't there also an episodic Sin game coming out on Steam too?

I'll just agree, lest this turn into the wiki Talk page Soooo, Nordic final for Men's Hockey.

Hehe, that lasted long.

Or they were email bombed with "OMG IR0N G0L3M i5 NOT MEDIUM UND34D!"
