Have you never played the NWN expansions? Pound for pound, the NWN2 epilogue voice is the worst in the game.

Anime recommendations
Anime is often inscrutable. Being confused by it is pretty standard. I probably enjoyed FLCL back when I first saw it, even though I didn't know what the **** it was going on about. But that wasn't really a show that was meant to be "gotten".

To tell you the truth, I just went through IMDB and linked all those movies that were considered bad by somebody I myself hate Pulp Fiction, but I didn't link it.

Why no Nintendo Wii Development?
The Wii is not an HD system. Highest it supports is 720p. The PS3 / 360 support 1080p. Truthfully, you can only really call a Wii "next-gen" because of its controller. But to answer the question of the thread, I'd say it's because A. Obsidian has not been approached about it. B. Development with the Wiimote in mind will cause other ports to suffer. (Assuming here that Obs would do third-party work instead of second-party) Or conversely, development with other consoles in mind will cause the Wii port to underplay the strengths of the system. C. Nintendo consoles are first-party consoles. You get a Nintendo for Zelda, Metroid or Mario. Nintendo has traditionally not handled third-party developers well, for whatever reason. D. Nintendo doesn't take games or gaming as seriously as Obsidian does. Which is to say, Nintendo isn't for the hardc0re. Nintendo would never entertain (or adequately support) a game like KOTOR2, or an Alien RPG, exclusively for its console. They're looking for the next Nintendogs or Super Smash Bros., not the next KOTOR, or even the next Final Fantasy.

Sammael's NWN2 Experience
While a lot of people don't like the new rules, they decidedly make rogues a lot more powerful. Sneak attacks can also be attempted on defenseless opponents, so a couple of rogues and a mage stocked up with disabling enchantments pose just as much, if not more, threat as a band of fighters and barbarians. It wasn't always like that. Thieves were only dangerous in combat in 2nd ed. if they had a few sources of invisibility.

NWN2: Discussion
My hardest NWN2 fight was probably the devil fight at the farm. I wasn't playing with a very powerful party, so I couldn't kill the devils/demons fast enough. They only stop respawning once all the currently summoned enemies are dead. I had to retry it 4 or 5 times.

Sammael's NWN2 Experience
There isn't "backstabbing" in 3.5. The "sneak attack" is any attack by a rogue that isn't being actively defended against. Thus, if you're fighting 2 rogues, 1 of them always gets a sneak attack (there might be a feat that changes this) to keep this from being totally broken, they implemented +xd6 in place of double or triple or quad damage. Most people don't like that either. At least it makes it so that you don't have to be behind someone to backstab. I remember a few enemies in BG that had their backs against walls, so that you couldn't end the fight before it began.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
One thing you all should watch (and something that I think should be implemented into the RPG somehow) is the deleted scene from Alien (there are several, but you'll know the one I'm talking about when you see it), which managed to freak me out just as much as anything else from the movie some 10 years after I first saw the film. Crazy ****.

What a Baby is Alive?
she gave up ultimate control when she agreed to be impregnated... taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Horse****. Where's the explicit contract? Where's the implicit contract? By ****ing some girl and getting her pregnant do I then gain ownership of her, or dominion over her body? Engaging in a voluntary action while foreseeing a certain result does not entail that one has tacitly consented to that result. If I know that there are burglars in my neighborhood, and I have no locks on my doors, I am not consenting to being robbed, nor am I rescinding ownership of my possessions. If I am a woman, and I'm fully aware of the risk of pregnancy, by having sex I do not consent to being pregnant, nor do I rescind the right to my own body to anyone. Your view is further ****ed in that even if it is reasonable that by having sex one agrees to carry a possible pregnancy to term, it is not reasonable that by having sex, a man claims ownership of a woman's body. That's retarded.

NWN2: Discussion
I played BG2 before I played BG1, and I saw the summoning spells and thought "awesome!", but as soon as I was summoned my first ogre berserkers they were cruelly cut down. I largely abandoned summoning after that (aside from the occasional demon-spawning, especially in the unpatched game, where you could summon a pit fiend and gain thousands of xp when you killed his docile ass) and thus it was with BG. But one thing I always hated was the BG2 entangle spell. The BG entangle was much more broken / useful / less of a pain in the ass. With BGtutu, I don't use entangle anymore.

Black Mesa: Source
Anna in the Den (you give her back her amulet and then bury her bones) and also the random encounter in which you can get Ghost Dogmeat onto your team. But Fallout 2 was in many ways more ludicrous than Fallout. Fallout had the Master and super-mutants and ghouls, but Fallout 2 had Anna and... The Brain.

What a Baby is Alive?
I don't know if it's likely, but it's the holy grail of radical feminism. Even if the inherent cultural roles of women were bucked, the "slavery" of motherhood would still be a yolk. Eradicating motherhood (and instead practicing some weird communal "it takes a village" child-rearing without primary caregiving roles, and with men taken completely out of the picture) was of particular importance to Bouvier. But I would think that removing fetuses from women would make killing said fetuses more acceptable. I mean, how much of the emotional attachment of pregnancy is attributable to the fact that the fetus is attached to the mother? That's not even getting into the neurochemical changes that accompany pregnancy. If women stop carrying children during pregnancy, is it unfathomable that we would see as many deadbeat moms as deadbeat dads?

I never played the original Thief, but I have Deadly Shadows, and the undead are certainly part of that game.

True, but I remember him talking about convo skills specifically I can't remember if it was in one of the videos they released prior to shipping or from those developer diaries that Gamespot featured. Either one.

I remember Feargus talking about how CNPC skillz would be a new and interesting part of the game. Maybe it was part of the game that got cut when Sawyer came in? Or maybe Feargus was lying with words Amen to that. You can play as a spellcaster and actually feel like you've got a powerful character. My 5th lvl sorcerer is cleaning house right now. Maybe that's just with all the fixins' of BGtutu. I remember BG being pretty hard back in the day.
