goblins then... taks Even with Goblins you would get the stronger version but after a while they would stop getting stronger. What happened in Oblivion was that weaker monsters were replaced by stronger ones after a certain point. So instead of finding a wolf in front of a cave suddenly there would be a Minotaur.

This addition had potential it really did. They could have done so much with it but they dropped the ball. There should have been quests added on to this download something to expand upon the concept but there is nothing! It is a glorified house that you don't have to buy. They should have made me go on quests for tons of things using this place, things like getting permission to field soldiers, getting lands to rule over, nearby communities have trouble with bandits and me having to use my 'soldiers' to protect things. Allowing me to have more then 4-5 troops when upwards of 7 bandits took down the castle. So much wasted potential, it is depressing.

Ah i miss Westwood, Bullfrog, and Microprose...how i loved those companies.

They basically say in the article that they are going to make more Halo games. Most likely no Halo 4 but there will be spin off games "

I apologize if this has been asked before but something bothered me in the OC that i am a bit worried about here. Things like most NPCs ignoring what race you were and treating you the same regardless. Things like showing up at Fort Locke as a Tiefling and them simply accepting you even though soldiers were just about to kill Neeshka for being one, or showing up as a Drow and them not even blinking an eye. My first character was a Tiefling paladin and no one even found the combination odd. Does anyone know if they have made the dialog a bit more reflective based on what you are?

They are best suited for FPS games, regardless of platform. Though generally FPS games are better suited for the PC

*Sega flicks a casual fireball spell at the nearby city park, which being a park, has quite a few trees.* (To be honest, it WAS a small fireball.) Atom523 casts ray of frost on the tree nearest to him putting out the fire and continues to work while the rest of the trees burn down.

Atom523 thanks game doctor, then abandons his current construction project and decides to build a tree house from which he can witness the carnage in safety.....unless someone sets it on fire....

Oh i forgot some Mechwarrior 5 Mechcommander 3 Quest for Glory 6 Kings Quest 9 (8 was horrible, i want 9 like 1-7) Sacrifice 2 (don't know why there was never a sequel, this game was fantastic) Dungeon Keeper 3 Kid Icarus 2

I want Xenogears episodes 1-4 to be released. So technically i want some prequels.

Well, i guess i would have to try the demo first before making a decision but i enjoy creating my bases in RTS games. It is part of the fun to create your stronghold and research your abilities.

I am a very casual player, this guy is my best one. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...amp;n=Necrosaro and my second guy http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.x...an&n=Isarru

You know i always wanted to play a game like that. Well not getting the hero coffee but having an active NPC hero going out and making a difference in the world while you do your own small part supporting him. There have been a few games here and there which tried to do stuff like that but they never quite make it believable enough where it doesn't simply turn the player into the real hero.

Metroid Prime 3 at the moment

Yeah, you do make very good points. I guess one of the best things i can personally say about this that if you are sick and tired of constantly looking at charts just to find out if you can walk over to this guy and hit him then you will probably enjoy this game. You can simply turn to the GM and ask "Can i do this?" and they will have a simple answer for you without having to look up three different things, it is simplicity without dumping all realism. I know that very long time gamers eventually memorize those charts and can get a smooth game going but for gamers who haven't played those games intensely that kind of stuff can really interrupt games. I have watched D&D games where they had to stop every few minutes so a player could refer to a chart which really in my opinion ruined the flow of the game.

I do appreciate your input, i myself know little to nothing about marketing as i have only taken economics 101, i am better in politics then that. I may have misjudged your question but this works alright as now others can have an example of how that kind of description might apply. I think another concern of the maker is a desire to pull more people into P&P gaming, he has been playing for about 11 years or so if i am not mistaken, and he wanted to create a game that could appeal to new players and was easy to get into while still maintaining the interest of long time players. Hey, have those people on jeopardy wasted their lives on the weird stuff they memorized? There is always a way to use information retained.

Woot! an actual response with constructive stuff to say about the game, you sir are awesome! (no offense to anyone who didn't flame me before you too are cool ) Oh first before answering anything just know that this is not my website, i am a friend of the maker of the game not the maker himself and i am not in charge of the site though i might mention any criticisms of it to him. For number 4 i can actually answer this. (and i will bring it up to the creator to think about) The way the leyas (magic) system and abilities are set up the players are encouraged to try to come up with creative ways to deal with situations, for example while at ICON a guy who came to our table was playing a hydromancer and he decided to chase after a fleeing enemy by firing off a blast of water into the ground, freezing it, gliding across it and then bashing him over the back of the head for his attack. Now as this move is quite complicated he had to make a series of rolls with increasingly difficult target numbers to actually achieve it, now any one of those moves would be relatively simple to do but all combined is more then simply the sum of their individual target numbers. After several rolls he ended up getting everything fine up until the last roll to strike the guy, he completely screwed up the roll and instead of bashing the guy with his gauntlet he shot right past him and into a lamp post allowing the target to escape. Now most likely if he had simply tried to fire off a jet of water into the guy's back he probably could have knocked the guy down so the party could catch up but this game rewards players for going above and beyond what simply can be done. This game doesn't use experience points to advance the characters instead points are distributed after the game to all the players equally (generally 5 points each) however if you as a player does something extraordinary he is generally awarded an extra point to later use for character customization. So this is how the game rewards the players for pulling off the "animeish" maneuvers without becoming overpowered. The bigger and badder the move you try to accomplish the harder your roll is to accomplish it. There are many examples of this inside and outside of combat, there was a time where i used my Bastard (similar to halflings) who has absolutely no combat skills to save his party by managing to convince the leader of a wide spread cult to not only spare our group by constructing an elaborate lie but after hearing my arguments he wanted me to become one of his Dark Sages as my talents were being wasted on my current pursuant. This happening right after my companion repeatedly (unintentionally i must add) insulted him and was about to be executed. In this game you can pull off amazing things with just about any type of character, i actually have a build of a nice housewife that i have been planning on using but we are in the middle of several things and i don't know when i could use her. I hope this didn't totally go off topic and answered your concerns about that. oh and good eye with the tank turret, you get an extra point for figuring out the reference.

Woot bumping my own thread much to the dismay of the community! At risk of the wrath of the community i will continue to and try again to perk someone interest in this game (i love that graphic) Here is a link to the FAQ section for the game's website, and no this is not a link to purchase anything, it is just information about the different aspects of the game. I hope that some will give it a chance and give their honest opinion. http://darkrefuge.net/FAQs.html

Atom523 wraps a cloth around his self inflicted stab wound and begins to realize that he isn't cut out for combat. He starts to build Monte Carlo's conservatory with the money and supplies that Monte Carlo had gathered. Barely managing to make his roll he begins construction, however without the feats and skill that Monte Carlo possessed starts to build the roof on the eastern wall without knowing it.

Atom523 calms down, leans over to catch his breath and then draws his dagger and charges at no one in particular stabbing wildly. Screws up his roll and manages to stab himself in the arm.

Currently Neverwinter Nights 2 and World of Warcraft

Woot i am alive! (noticed how he was revived) AHHHHHHHHHHHHH (runs away screaming) "UNCLEAN UNCLEAN!!!" (I lose my attack for this round.)

It would have been a nice feature to have, but overall it was a really well made game.

As i lay on the floor dying i begin to claw for the healing potion in my pack when one of the cows falling from the sky falls on me and finishes me off. Killed by clumsiness and a rain of cows, how sad.

Atom523 jumps in without knowing what is going on, sees the carnage grabs his butter knife of dragon slaying (plus 7!) and charges forward yelling "ORLA!!!!"
