Just curious about the backgrounds of some of you folks! I am an almighty beancounter. This wasn't my intended life however... I sort of fell into it from doing other jobs here and there. We got anyone working on a nuclear sub or something? Still got some whippersnappers left at school? Doesn't seem like so long ago I was going on these sort of forums when I had my first win95 PC years ago as a teen... funny how time just seems to fly by!

Well... I let this die didn't I!?!? Man City have lost 4 games now??? How the hell did that happen. Liverpool seem to be on the road or the title... I haven't given up hope yet I still think Man City are a better team, we just bottled a few games. Ah well, we will fight to the bitter end! Funny to see how Man United have done a complete 180 since Jose got fired eh!

Priests weak? You having a laugh mate? I won't leave house without one.

I really like the camera pan, however i sometimes wish it was more sticky. I feel like I click something and the camera has already panned past I want to click? Does that make sense.... i'm not too drunk. The camera follow is probably for me one of the best improvements to this sort of game i really wish it could be implemented to BG2.

Yeah I noticed this last night, i just assumed she had nothing to say anymore.

The music in the Icewind Dale games is fantastic. I prefer the BG games overall but there is something really appealing about Icewind Dale. I fancy going back to play it again now... I feel inspired! Never did complete ID2, that bloody Dragon's Eye bit is a complete nightmare when you're going back and forward through time.

We can only wait and see. They probably would be finished fairly soon if they were not acquired by Microsoft. How many times can you keep doing a Kickstarter/FIG and keep people on the payroll?

Tree fiddy.

I would definitely buy... the digital version. Fair play to you guys but I can't stand hoarding junk in my house.

Will there even be a PoE3? Surely this is up to Microsoft now.

I have decided to take on Tekehu, i'd never actually picked up the character before and he is pretty cool. I like his boastful arrogance, he's like the Johnny Bravo of Eora.

In Dragon Age: Awakening you could either carry on with your main character or make a new guy who had a different backstory from another part of the world or something. Something along that vein perhaps? From what I recall they do react differently to you if you're not playing as the hero of Fereldan.

Nope, so far it's pretty great. It doesn't feel like a patch-in 8 months after release mode at all. I don't mean the turn based was half arsed, i mean it sounds like they only begrudgingly made the game RTWP in the first place!

Both options = awesome Seems like some of you guys are getting pretty heated about the idea??? I will probably never play the turn based but fair play for putting it in, however it does sort of feel like the developers only half arsed putting it in RTWP by the sounds of it! They should have given it a full arsing.

Well, it's still bloody downloading so.... yeah. Anyone tried it out or what? This is gonna take a while for me.

The camera is a complete mess. Don't know what the hell they were thinking.

This reminds me a bit of the Icewind Dale 2 manual. There was a little guide telling where to go/what to do for the first little part. That really helped me out when I was first getting into the game, was my first experience playing one of them types of games I had no clue what the hell to do without that.

Hmm, that article has actually peaked my interest in it. You'd think they'd make a comment to their backers before PC gamer???

I usually just barge in, knockdown and throw out a blessing from Xoti, missiles from Aloth, leave Serafen to do whatever he wants. What are some interesting spell/ability combinations? or SYNERGIES!

Dark Souls 2 is a waste of time. Go play Demon's Souls if you have a PS3.

Numenera? I haven't played it but wasn't it billed as a sequel to Planescape? But that was a disappointment to many. The Shadowrun games? Although Dragonfall was received very well. SHRUG

Yeah it does get boring doing it over and over if you're trying different classes or whatever. You'd have thought Obsidian wouldn't have forgot the best improvement made to an RPG in Fallout New Vegas, having the game opening up pretty much immediately.

I only found out recently that Germans (and maybe others) use .'s instead of ,'s for the 000 separator. It can be jarring seeing an invoice like that.

OK Mary Sue was a bit much, but she's so naive and innocent... how's she such a good ighter and not stressed/bothered by anything? I can understand Aloth/Eder/Sarafen being pretty casual because Aloth and Eder have already seen so much, and I assume Sarafen isn't arsed because he's from a pirate background. Xoti is jus really happy go lucky then whinges about the odd dream. I'm sticking with her but she annoys me.

It's an issue if you really want to play with full fledged party members and not just a bunch of people that are just there. I get the feeling that Obsidian simply hates priests. In the first game we have Durance who is such a dumb and annoying character that I just kill him every time I enter the area where you can pick him up. Xoti is no exception. She's also an idiot and possibly even more annoying because not only is she incredibly stupid, she has the most obnoxious accent and is fanatically religious. There is no way to like this character if you are of average intelligence or higher. And in beast of Winter we get a guy who spearheads a bunch of lunatics and looks like he died 5 times. I'm serious it's on purpose. They're all a bunch of deranged idiots. Durance was actually my favourite character in the first game. I mean he was a bit of an imbecile but I was endeared to him somewhat.
