52 stellar converters, OPEN FIRE! 52 stellar converter ships vs an armada of 35t435345345 of enemy ships. 25 turns later the enemy fleet is destroyed and about 10 stellar converter ships still left. Does Master of Orion 2 run on Vista/Windows 7? Oh and I'm playing Dragon Age 2.

Would be nice yeah. Thing is, it's pretty ****** up that one badly written previews starts all this. When no real info has been given with the exception of that Destructoid interview.

Wonder if that is connected to FNV DLCs. Jason Bergman (F:NV senior producer from Bethesda) said that Avellone was just right next to him and commented on voice recording too. Seems like it. I guess we might get some info on the DLC2 soon. Plx, release date before DS3.

Finished Dead Money. Definately worth the 10 euros it cost. Took me about 9 hours to finish it (got lost in the Villa few times when looking for stashes etc.). Loved the story, npcs (especially Christine) and the very eerie setting. In my opinion Bioware should take a lesson from Dead Money when it comes to their dlcs. Thanks MCA and rest of the crew, can't wait for the next dlc

Just finished Dead Money, think I'll just take a break from gaming for few days and wait for Dragon Age 2

Skip AC 1. I think I managed to finish like 4 missions after I sold that game away since it was just that damn boring.

On xbox I encountered the enemies disappearing bug few times (fixed now, I think) and one really weird death animation for an enemy. Other than that, not so bright A.I and cover system that might annoy some people. Overall I think Alpha Protocol was one of the best games last year.

Why would anyone even compare one of the very few succesful publishers&developers to an indie crpg developer... Not very classy if you ask me.

Secret locations are nothing new when it comes to showing games at events. I would imagine we will get a bunch of new previews talking about multiplayer aspects of the game....

I would imagine those other two chars will gain levels even if they ain't in the party all the time. You will get to level them up once they join your party again after being sidelined. At least that's how it worked on NWN2 and Kotor2...

Feargus always delivers!

No. You will have to make Anjali or one of the other two to play with.

Kids also means people between the ages of 13-17. Gore and blood would pretty much means it's only meant for people over 18 and would be rated like that as well. Not a smart choice from marketing point of view to limit the amount of people who are able to buy your product. Not sure how strict they are about the ratings in other countries, but atleast Finnish stores are pretty strict that if you are under the age limit you won't get the game. Not to mention blood and gore would mean some countries like Germany might be banning the game from retailers...

How about a game set in Westeros? Cyanide has the license, but they aren't really well known as developers and they got their hands full with the RTS. Maybe they gave the crpg to Obsidian?

If it's done on Onyx I'm quite sure it will be out on PSN/Steam as well.

I now want Project Defiance as well.

As far as I know, you will gain xp on local co-op on the char you play. You just can't port that char into another save game. It's "stuck" on the person's save game who you played it with.

If your gf is level 13 and when you previously played Lucas was lvl 10 your Lucas will be lvl 13 as well. I would imagine that the Lucas that was stored on her save game will keep the points you choose (+ those your gf chose when shen continued her save), so you don't have to respec him everytime, but that just my guess. From game balancing point of view that makes the most sense to me. Since there's no point at all to continue to play with your Lucas if let's say your Lucas is lvl 5 and your gf is lvl 15. Those level 15 mobs would whack the **** out of your Lucas. Or your GF would have to take you to some low lvl area to do some old sidequests she skipped to get you some levels. Not very fun if you ask me

You all gain xp, loot and advance in the story, but only in that save game that that the host has (that's for co-op). I don't see what the problem is if you are planning on playing it with your friends. What stops you from continuing that save later on together? There's still no confirmation how it's done in online mulplayer mode, but I would imagine they are pretty much as the same as with co-op on same machine. As to why change things towards easier to do? Porting the game to 3 different platforms is easier? Also you need to have some sense of realism. Obsidian and Square-Enix aren't making this game with the same infinite budget as Blizzard uses for it's games. Not to mention they are resurrecting an IP that wasn't a huge hit to begin with. If things go well with DS3 you might see more features added later on to the game via dlcs/expansions/sequels. Companions, yes you can customize them as in you get to choose where to put their talent points etc.

I guess this settles it, PC it is.

This sounds awesome. Now I just need to figure out whether I should buy this on PC or the 360. I guess you can use the 360 controller on pc as well?

I'll rather play well written game with lots of c&c ala Alpha Protocol/Mask of tthe Betrayer than a game that just drags on too long. So 20 hours of gameplay is just fine if the designing is good.

Dead Money is #1 on Steam sales list Now I just need time to actually play the damn game....

On one hand it does, on the other hand.. makes me a little scared about whether they can take on them or not. Obsidz are not Bethsoft or Bioware. Their manpower is limited.

That would be truly epic. Really enjoyed the first two
