NWN2: Forumite Impressions
Bah, it reminded me quite a bit of the Helm's Deep sequence they included in one of the LOTR console games (with the big siege towers and everything) and I'd say note for note the LOTR game looked more impressive In fact, the Crossroads Keep siege would have been a hell of a lot more impressive were it not for the existence of that similar siege. Not Obsidian's fault, by any means, but... eh.

New Mass Effect Video
Looks good. Of course it's all contextualized, but it looks good.

So how buggy is NWN2?
Seems to be dwarf perspective to me: They usually get around the eye-contact problem by having the camera face the person who's talking.

No, it's cuz he's a quitter Yeah, didn't he say he was going to be reassigned as soon as NWN2 got shipped?

You're all going to get this thread locked, you know. Bugs! Do you have them!

NWN2: Forumite Impressions
How much content did they put in exclusively for the prestige classes, anyway? I didn't get any for my warpriest. Besides the Warlock, the core classes are preserved. I would have been happy had they just altered content for the races, only a few of whom (particularly the underdark varieties) warrant much special content. Moon elves and Gold Elves don't require a hell of a lot of distinction, but drow do, because they're so wildly different than the other subraces.

Both of you should shut the **** up. Game over. An odd bug I've run into is whenever I go into the Moonstone Mask, it broadcasts a "stand your ground" command to the party indefinitely until I broadcast otherwise. No big deal, really, but it made combat a pain until I figured it out.

NWN2: Forumite Impressions
Yeah, but it's ****. * Felt pretty light to me :'( You had plenty of choice, but the RP aspects of those choices were only slightly better implemented than in, say, Oblivion (with the exception of gender & romance, in which case NWN2 is waaaay ahead, but still paltry by CRPG standards). I've played through the NW portion of my second game, and I've yet to see my aasimar heritage or my ladies' man trait come up. You'd think Neeshka would get spooked or something

I don't think the word "phone" needs an apostrophe. But yeah, that's true, they can't well enforce the rule all the time everywhere. But they'd have to go through some effort to secure copies without using the same identifying information or credit cards. Most of the time, a determined individual could probably get away with 2 consoles per store, so they could probably get 4 if they don't move from town to town or something, and that's assuming he's able to even reserve those (considering the demand, he might be able to procure a single console if he waits outside a store, but he can only do that once before they run out). He could pull some highway robbery on the 'net (see, proper usage ) but he wouldn't be selling them wholesale and making a fortune.

Pet Peeves
yeah. Fauxhawks = pet peeve backwards thinking = an actual problem with the world at large. A pet peeve is just something you gain a sense of approbation from, but don't really feel the need to justify through reason. The rise of self-interested emos is a good example. Or not being able to spit out the window of a moving vehicle. Capital punishment... generally you're expected to have more than just sentiment as backup for your viewpoint.

What are you playing now?
No no, she should be punk and not play NWN2. It's not like she moderates a forum pertaining or anything " No wait, she doesn't.

Store policy limits consoles to one per customer, if I remember correctly. POINT DENIED.

Please don't encourage people to use the word pwn or any of its derivatives. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll use whatever internets meme antiquities I damn well please. I'm not about to condemn Ladycrimson for having a kitten pic in her sig. O, look. Stop spreading your religious fanaticism in this neutral forum. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Amen to that.

It's AVARIEL, and they are elven, not fey. (feys are not related to elves in FR) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pssst that was directed at people who consider such **** a flaw in the FR universe. Banshee are elven ghosts. Snow elves I'm not aware of, but there are elves (and dwarves) for just about every clime, excepting perhaps deserts, so I don't see why not.

Pet Peeves
My pet peeve is people who don't distinguish between the ethical and practical considerations of an issue "may evolve"? So far as I've noticed, the habits of particular mods tend to be pretty uniform over time. I don't see how you wouldn't already cross the threshold from potential annoyance into annoyance as soon as those habits were made apparent.

You've got to look at it from their perspective. The perspective of fey humanoids with big, feathery wings. It's ****in' D&D, what do you want.

Vampire: Bloodlines
Because his plans are dark and deep and they account for all possibilities before they ever become apparent to anyone else So I guess he forwards his messages to all fledglings of promise. Easier to manipulate somebody if they think they're part of some unfathomable game.

Aquatic elves are in there too. Not in the games, but in the setting.

Vampire: Bloodlines
You're sent numerous "mysterious letters" (I found them kind of corny, myself) throughout the game. My impression was that they were from Cain, or one of his minions. *edit - O rly DR?

A question about PC game registration
OFF TOPIC I found the Sims to be kind of fun, I liked the career progressions and such (military ftw) but once socializing your character with NPCs becomes required, it becomes a pain the ass, especially given the fact that you can only barely manage to fulfill the PC's other needs given the time you have. Building and inhabiting the house was fun, though. As for myself, I register if I have to in order to play, on Steam games, for example, or if I need to in order to patch.

I never did find out what Cassie's big shame was. He kind of hinted at it, but the Shadow Priest at the orc cave said something about dark deeds and black hearts and such, and abruptly leaving NW didn't seem to be that big of a deal. Maybe I just wasn't influential enough, or maybe I didn't set off some trigger. I'm assuming the cut content / features aren't the kinds of things that would be included in patches? *btw - Took me about 40 hours or so to beat the game, but going through my second time I've found that I've neglected a few hours' worth of questage.
