Actually I don't care if it goes on the XBox 360. As long as the gameplay for the PC doesn't suffer for it, like Oblivion did, more platforms the merrier.

I would think so.

Not really. A rules set often dictates and influence how one plays the game. Such as building a character differs greatly between Dungeons and Dragons and GURPS. Sure, you can have the same basic concept, but how the character develops and how the player plays it will differ because of the different game mechanics.

Socialism, like Capitalism, can work if one doesn't take it to extremes in my ever so humble opinion. Here's another question... If you had the ability to travel in time and givent he opportunity to kill Adolf Hitler as a child would you do it?

I think I am going to rectify that next month. Also it wasn't meant to be a snide remark. It was very impressive.

For there to be light, there must be dark. For there to be good there must be evil. For there to be Heaven there must be Hell. edit: That was a bit over dramatic, wasn't it.

Parents, good parents, don't eternally punish their kids with pain and torture if they misbehave.

Graphically impressive.

God gave man free will, then set up the rules stacked against the nature of man. The nature He imposed on us. This is the one thing why I will never worship God nor follow any of his prophets and progeny. Of all the sins of this Earth, of all the evil mankind can do to itself and to the Earth there is no sin, no evil, that warrants eternal torture and eternal damnation. Until God learns this I will have nothing to do with Him or his ilk.

Llyr has a good point there.

Leave Herve and his rat touching out of this, Llyr.

Could you PM me a pic?

Sounds a bit masochistic. Is God a sado-masochist? He promotes suffering as being a good thing and torture to those who don't believe/follow him.

Faith is lame.

I used to buy into faith, god, and the whole Jesus thing when I was a kid.

By that reasoning, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor is proof that turn-based D&D is terrible. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It wasn't the turn base combat that made the game bad. It was everything else it had, and lack what it didn't, that made the game bad. The spastic real time combat in Lionheart made a cool premise for a CRPG unplayable.

Online multi user dungeons that are text based. They tend to be hack and slash. There are RP style games as well, but they are often called MUXes or MUSHes.

No, because I like long games, however it might be a good enough reason for him.

Just a question here... What do those games have anything to do with NWN2? If you try to play NWN2 below specifications and using hardware that isn't supported don't expect the game to work. Plain and simple.

Aren't those MUDs?

FOT still has turn based elements but Lionheart was purely real time. If Bethesda uses FOT's style of turn base, which can be toggle from real time to tradition turn base then I would find it acceptable enough.

Games evolve. Video games are more about settings and feel than simple rules-sets. Maybe it is time for SPECIAL to take a hike. I mean, if we're going to be totally "purist" here, Fallout must automatically fail since it was originally designed with GURPS in mind... right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Of course games evolved. Compare the gold box games to NWN2, however they are both still turn based.

Turn base is just one facet. Even modern DnD games like NWN2 are still turn based.

Alan, that is like making a Dungeons and Dragons game without using the Dungeons and Dragons rules. Is the proof unequivocal? No, but it is good enough for me.
