Can I be renamed to Gray_Jedi_Knight1?

Have you been taking screenshots? It's not like I've been, like, you know, preparing an AAR or anything, like, chill? PBEM.txt

'Dialogues' become boring when they're freaking monologues. It has to be interactive in more ways than just 'go on, please, please just go on' virtually all the time. Dialogue has to feature a gameplay element, in which the player actively interacts and plays a part in said dialogue, not just be an exposition device. The conversation with Atris (I timed it! 45 mins!) is one of my favorite scenes because it WASN'T a monologue. You were defining your character at the same time as being fed relatively large amounts of information about your past. Would it have been more fun if it were full of narrative such as 'Atris leans back and strokes her chin, her icy glare piercing your eyes with hot sweaty hatred'? I'm not convinced. MCA isn't wrong, though. Economy of words is important. Be too overly verbose, and the player isn't even reading what you're writing. In which case, you've already lost. The thing, all that energy being spent on narrative and descriptions I would rather have invested into further character development and relationships, especially with party members. The amount of input those dudes get during dialogue is very appreciated, but please sir, I want some more. There's a lot of room for more interaction there. This was done much better in KOTOR2 than in PST, in which, intraparty interaction was pretty minimal - it was basically 'you and me' relationships. I'd give up narrative for this, especially when ample narrative isn't really that optimal an option anymore.

I want NWN2 DD mods.

That was the highlight of my day, Dark_Raven. Thank you.

That is indeed quite a puzzling question. I would go as far as claiming it is a VERY puzzling question.

I'm too busy being a profit

Shut up, the companies are doing us a huge favor by selling at such undercut prices, so don't you ever undermine that dedication to their customers.

Who the crap cares if they sell at 'a loss'. If the console is still overpriced, the customer is the one who loses.

In the same vein, also, thoughts on episodic content.

The new and improved Eldar can go jump in a lake. I want the old Eldar back

I think there's a certain irony in the 'general concensus' around here that going console dumbs games down and such, when there's a push for CRPGs using 'action' combat systems. Aside from Civ4, what was the last PC game that was both turn-based and sold at least modestly? Yet, at the same time, you can find quite a significant number of turn-based games (RPGs or otherwise) on consoles/handhelds this gen. There's a definite market for them. And heh, I do think that the KOTORS with a Jedi Knight-like combat system could have been a whole lot more fun. Maybe you guys should make handheld games (by which I mean the DS :"> ). Lower development costs and graphical standards give you more leeway to focus on gameplay if you so desire. Given how TB games have been pretty successful on GBA/DS, wink wink. You'd even had a second screen to fill up with verbose combat options or dialogue choices without filling out the main game screen.

He's a profit because Microsoft is paying him. Don't insult Epiphany's intelligence by accusing him of making typos or useless threads.

Silent Hunter?

Don't make him report us, jerk! PBEM.txt

Wink wink.

Oh, I'm all for multiplatforms. The joke is on those who are trying to defend AC's PS3 'exclusivity' to the death (not around here, at least).

Ubisoft making exclusives HA HA HA

oink

I'll Mr. Stalker your FACE.

Hi Mr. Stalker!

Lineage isn't doing too bad. I guess the Dark Elves and stuff are all people really want.
