  1. That's the official stance, yes. However: 1) Former founder and lead designer for Bungie, said they're different incarnations of the same character. 2) One is owned by Microsoft, one is owned by Bungie. And they're not even available on related platforms. At the very least, one could view the ending as an homage or allusion to Marathon.

  3. I'm actually going ahead and trying out game.co.uk. Anyone have cause to stop me? Edit: Well, there seems to be difficulty ordering through them. They keep saying to check my address or payment details and it's all correct. Edit2: I almost went ahead and signed up with HMV, but realized I'm really putting too much effort into this. I'll wait to hear more about it before I start searching all over the internet for an trustworthy importer.
  4. Ebay will probably have a UK release up before long. Otherwise:http://www.amazon.co.uk/ I tried Amazon.co.uk. They won't ship it to the US. And I just don't like to use eBay.
  5. I have an alibi. Texas is nowhere near California.
  6. So, what's a good way to import from the UK? What websites?
  7. How the hell do they come up with 1 BILLION dollars worth of damages? Every single home would have to average $666,666 in value. While I know San Diego is expensive I seriously doubt that number. Because it's not confined only to homes. Businesses, property (vehicles and non-developed land included), state property. And I think in their estimates of damages they're including costs for combating the blazes.

  9. Or just look up the dutch words for "options" and "languages."
  10. Sod off isn't exclusive to Britannia.
  11. I'd be surprised if WotC let Obsidian rewrite their cosmology. Since nobody else is bothering with spoiler tags, I won't either to say this, despite my best efforts, I wasn't able to bring Myrkul back. I wanted to be his friiiend. But no, he wanted to be a jerk, so I had to beat him up. Same thing. Obsidian probably isn't allowed to resurrect Myrkul anymore than they are allowed to tear down the wall. Or any more than you could have resurrected Bhaal in Baldur's Gate. I would have loved to have tried.
  12. I would never expect anything like how you describe a relationship in an RPG. That would be the most boring RPG of all time. One where your girlfriend complains that you spend too much time killing Orcs and not enough time listening to her complain about ridiculous crap. Yeah, I want to spend 6 hours doing that.
  13. Oh. Well... your mother!
  14. There are people who don't know this already? It's only the third game in the series. It goes back to the N64.
  15. To go boldy where no troll has gone before!

    *cue music*

  16. If you play with the dynamic lighting, it helps to have float 32 installed.
  17. Geralt seems like a swell fellow, though. If the game is good, I may just have to read the trilogy. It is a trilogy, right? Of short stories.
  18. Maybe for you, but I have higher standards. Higher standards? Your second best RPG doesn't even meet your standards. Ignorant hindsight justifications of exceptions and elitist demands based on PnP experience don't qualify as "higher standards."
  19. They would have had to added voice work to account for TNO have different hair styles, colors, and manners of dress?
  20. It's actually still fine and dandy today.
  21. I disagree. It was very much focused that you had to be the TNO for the entire plotline to work. You're obviously missing a track here. The TNO could easily have been any race, had any hair color, had any starting class, had any starting feats. It still would have been the TNO. And none of this is limited by the design limitations you think existed in the 90s. At no point was his hair color or outfit so critical to the story that it would have required multi-DVDs to account for.
  22. The text and story of PS:T was actually pretty neutral in regards to class or race with few exceptions. It wouldn't have mattered. In regards to The Witcher, you're playing a pre-set character. Geralt. You can't customize "your" character because it's not really your character. It's Andrzej Sapkowski's character. A character he created.
  23. And is not a qualifier.
  24. I started that last night. I was dissapointed by one thing, though.
  25. I'm pretty, you ****scabs!
