I might pick this game up, now: what's the patched game like? Any bugs, still? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Played it a few weeks ago. Don't remember any actual significant bugs. No functional ones, anyway.

Sidequests that make little sense in the context of the story really just add to its implausibility. Disappointing design, if anything.

When they're level 60 like everything else in the world

You know you wanted this thread. Life just wouldn't be complete without it. When a game allows you to host a teaparty with dead naked people as your guests, this thread is almost demanded. (I'm still working on the teaparty. I'm having a little trouble getting these bodies to conform to my will. I think I might try doing it with the lizard people. That way, I can stick their tail in between the back and seat of the chair and anchor them in pl - okay, time to stop thinking about it.) My character is pretty stealth-focused, with skills in Sneak, Security, Light Armour, Blade, and a couple other ones I forget. My goal in this game is to join the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. I've known for quite some time that I need to kill an innocent to get into the latter, but so far I haven't found anyone worthy enough (until today!). There's a few snotty NPCs I considered slaughtering in their sleep, but I knew I wouldn't get much satisfaction in that. So I went on a journey. If I was to become a murderer, I wanted my act to mean something. I wanted it to be symbolic. After a while of having nothing to jerk off to, it became apparent to me that Oblivion suffers from a terrible lack of attractive female NPCs. So I promised myself that the moment I met one, she would be my mark, my tribute to the Dark Brotherhood. I found her in Burma. For many days I watched her. Each morning I would enter the inn, take a seat, and enjoy some breakfast. Whenever I felt brave enough, I would look away from my companion and take a peek at her. She was quite social, my Lyra. Like a little butterfly, hovering from table to table and exchanging the latest news. For instance, did you know that the Fighters Guild was recruiting? I didn't, until I met Lyra. I only spoke to her once, the last day of her life. She didn't seem to like me very much. I gave her a lot of money, and then she liked me more. Her smile made me happy - but was she only smiling because I had lined her pockets with gold? If so, she was a prostitute. My heart was broken. I made a decision that the **** would die that very night. I stepped outside into the cold, frosty air and loitered around for a few hours. When nightfall finally came, I stole away to the stables and quickly retrieved my horse. If something went wrong, I would need a quick exit. I tied Glueboy to a tree just outside the city walls and went back inside. Lyra was still at work and her door was locked. I considered breaking in and waiting in a closet, but something told me that was the wrong way to go about things. Late in the evening, my darling Lyra finally left the inn and went home. I followed. I waited for an hour or two, not wanting to catch her undressing or within earshot of my breakin. The undressing would come later. Five lockpicks later, I was inside. Her house was immaculate, just like her. I crept around the first floor and took a flowerpot. I decided I would put it on her grave. I listened to the ringing from the church down the road. It was midnight. In the gloom of her house, I sat down and ate her leftovers. After I was done, I snuck upstairs and found her sleeping on the grandest bed I had seen to that point. She was beautiful. I stripped off my clothing and sat down across from her, mesmerized by the delicate movement of her bosom as she breathed her last breaths. After a little while I began to lose track of time. Before long, she began to stir. Realzing this was my chance, I removed my dagger and struck her with it. How she fought! She staggered to the bottom of the stairs and ran toward the front door. I couldn't have that! I drained her stamina with my Greater Power and she fell to the ground. Moments later she was dead. Beside myself with passion, I began to undress her, exposing long, regal limbs. After making love to her, I thought she felt a little cold. Trying to warm her up, I dragged her body to the fireplace. And then I ate her. True story. ... I mean.... stolen from the Codex! .... Yes.

What generalities? The specifics were pointed out from the beginning of this thread.

Yeah, I played a bit of the original RoN. More thoughful than a standard RTS, but not really enough to impress.

I've played a bit of the Doomsday campaign as the Russians. Having an all-out war on all fronts is, frankly, awesome. I've been doing pure warfare so far, haven't touched the intelligence/research/production/etc parts, since it's time-limited, anyway.

I was too, until I found out Gamespot are just a bunch of treacherous liars.

Ask Hades

Clearly you are unaware of last year's drama.

No one needs your wiseguy comments in here, metadigital. This is about pixies getting a new videocard, not a computer? LOL PIXIES WHY DONT U BUY A PS2 TOO!!!!! LOLLERS I GIVE GOOD INFO LMAO

6 yrs old, eh? Just go for the cheapest one that will run Freelancer at a good framerate, then. No pointing wasting money into it. Check out which cards fit the 'recommended' spectrum for the game.

Go for ATI, nVidia promotes communism through subliminal messaging in their products. Like Mr. Awesome says, x700 would fit.

Also, it lacks the phallic appeal that GJK and I seek.

Another freaking reason to hate Gamespot. You know, as a news site they should be more freaking responsible and gamers should know better to trust anything that Gamespot has to say. Freaking crayonholes. Why the zeus would gamers trust anything that Gamespot says in the first place? What is hilarious about it? Gamespot losing its one last shred of credibility? You would think that they would have some shred of professionalism over there. Sorry, but I don't see it that way. A news site, television station, or newspaper has to maintain a certain level of professionalism 100% all the time otherwise what would be the point of reporting the news in the first place. It would be no better than those lame arse tabloids with huge headlines talking about Batboy or putting out false information on some celebrity. Sheer stupidity, that is all it is. Only an idiot would post a hoax on a news site. I don't think I am overreacting one bit. People have been sued over releasing false information that were presented as news. A joke? Hardly. A joke is funny. This is not. Given how many people wanted this very thing to happen, it's a VERY cruel joke. I admit it, yes. Then I tracked it back where it came from and Gamespot was the source. There was a glimmer of hope that World of Starcraft would not be World of Warcraft with Guns and I should have realized that hope is a fallacy and worthless. This is not a joke. Simply false news done so in a malicious way and should be dealt with accordingly by civil law when a news site, may it be on the web or some other media, relates false information about a company, individual, and/or product. Sorry, I don't find yellow journalism and hoaxes one bit funny. Never have and never will. Man, I hate April 1st as much as I hate Easter and Christmas. I still say that Blizzard should seek legal action against Gamespot for what was clearly misinformation about their respective companies and products done so in a malicious manner.

Er, no, as a FPS, it would fail.

I too am intrigued by this potential new lightsaber. Please share us your info.

You're nearly done.

Good news http://www.wargamer.com/news/news.asp?nid=3205 The game is done, a new preview is up at pointed link, and the demo is now available, from links above as well. It's fully feature-unlocked and lets you play the 'full game' for 3 hrs. April 4th is coming up

You two are more similar than you think, if you know what I mean *wink wink*

The setting certainly sounds interesting, but I haven't really heard anything about the gameplay that would entice me to play it - from the previews/videos, it just kinda feels like just another RTS but with a nice setting. Setting alone won't cut it for me. Unless you find something radically different in the demo, then we'll see.
