Mamoulian War

I had to check everything haha, but for me, the Wild Orlans are really lacking in the portrait department! My first game is with Orlan, but the only one portrait available made me little bit disappointed, because it kind of does not match the visual style of character model of my Cipher

Strange, got i3 2100, 4GB ram and GTX 760 Mini, and I don't think I have noticed any framedrops for me. Win 7 pro 64 and 1680x1050 resolution.

I would love to see PF game on PoE engine, but with proper turn based combat!!!

Nice look into how development of the game for "mass audience" looks like Text game, The Writer Will Do Something http://mrwasteland.itch.io/twwds It's really worth reading EDIT: And here you can find few words from the author. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/04/play-the-game-that-shows-how-hard-it-is-to-make-a-good-game/

I think Keyrock will be very happy after reading this http://www.siliconera.com/2015/04/01/fatal-frame-black-haired-shrine-maiden-coming-west-year/

Loving this game, it is everything I've expected from Obsidian when I backed the game, plus many many more features, which I did not expected, but positively surprised me. I wish more companies would make this style of game with at least half the quality of Obsidian. I would have a lot of stuff to play than.

Well I hope they get some good ideas out of these play sessions with PoE and implement them in SCL

Amen brother. Although the warm cloak of familiarity (D&D) makes me very excited. I don't even understand the terminology in PoE. For example, this is an excerpt from the strategy guide on a dagger: What the hell does that Accuracy even mean? Plus 5 out of what, 100? Do those two stack for a total of +13 Accuracy? What would this be analogous to in D&D terms? Wheres my pants? You can find description of Accuracy under your character portrait in Inventory and Character tab. The plus to accuracy means, that this weapon adds all bonuses listed in the weapon description to the Base Accuracy, which is determined by Level, Class, Perception and Talents. The higher the accuracy, the easier you are able to hit stuff. In DnD terms the analogy would be Attack Bonus.

Neverwinter Online was also blessed by WotC, and it has absolutely nothing with D&D rules whatsoever!

Well, it was hard to decide, but in the end I picked up Cipher, because I wanted to try play one of the Obsidians original classes. The next game for me will be wizard.

Well actually I disliked to be forced to go with Imoen and ****loads of quests in Athkatla as well. That does not mean I disliked BG2 as a whole game. I enjoyed it as much as I am enjoying PoE now.

I am missing voting option "F*** YEAH!"

On this one, you are actually wrong too. In lot of countries, especially in Europe, it is legal, to make single backup of the game you have purchased for personal use. Because the disc are often made into coasters by intrusive DRM, you can without fear download backup for you. DRM circumvention is not illegal in EU, unlike in USA. And Whatever EULA might say, boxed games are still handled in EU like physical goods. That means EULA is invalid, if you are unable to read it through precisely before you open the packaged goods. Digital goods are not covered by that, because when you sign into Direct Download service, the EULA is accessible to you before the purchase. Unfortunately I do not know nothing about legality of back up of DRMed digital goods in EU, because I do not have any experience with it. I shop only DRM free digital goods, so I never looked into that matter.

Yeah, the non-standard fantasy races are particularly hard to find. When I tried searching for Godlike, they were either too human or too alien. I didn't bother with Orlan because I knew I would just get a bunch of furry pics. Well, if you are photoshop savvy, the easiest way to get a custom Orlan picture would be to edit some Goblin pictures to make them little bit more hairy

LoL when I have put Orlan Character Portraits into Google Image Search, this is what I got among the first few results Not sure, if that would fit your roleplay style though

Because GoG does not do preloading, I would not be surprised if the GoG release would be already patched with Day 0 patch at 9am Pacific time.

If a person owns a license to the game, it isn't infringement for them to download and play the software through other means. The license of a game is to access the software. The software is the software no matter where it is obtained from. If a person owns a license that grants access, that stays with them regardless of whether they're locked out of an account or not. Even when you have access to your GoG account, your property is still that same license, and not the instance of packaged-software that you download. There is nothing shady about downloading a game which a person owns a license to play, from a torrent or misc file host. It's precisely the same level of legality as downloading it from a personal GoG or Steam account. Man can say, that with the termination of account, your right to licensed material is revoked as well EDIT: Well at least in the countries, where EULAs are not illegal by default

Yes and it will be 23GB download

So can a person with games purchased through Steam. I own a lot of GoG games, which I don't download and back up. If I ever had no access to my GoG account, I'd be in the very same position as I would if I had no access to my Steam account. Yet I'd still possess a license to legally play all games in either account. I was talking about your purchased and backed up games and not games which can be obtained by some copyright infringing methods. For obtaining them that way, you do not need Steam nor GoG accounts at all. Terminated Steam account means, that you have lost all means how to install your backed up games again, without using some "shady" behaviour. With terminated GoG account you can still freely use all your backups without need to visit darknet. If you do not download and back up games you purchased, it's your own decision. Don't blame the middle man.

You have to download once in a while a standalone patch from their site. Well until GoG Galaxy optional client will be released. The you should be able to update all your games with one click (or two ).

In the cases of both Steam and GoG, a person purchases a license for a game, not an installer, and not an account. Steam's subscriber agreement relates to their server service, and not the games a person owns in their account - and GoG has its exact equivalent which is their Terms of Use agreement, in which GoG reserves the same rights to terminate an account, and to change their Terms of Use without warning and at their discretion. So Steam game purchases are owned by the purchaser in the same sense that games were owned prior to digital distribution, and in the same sense that a game purchased through GoG is owned. In all cases, the purchaser receives a license, which is the sole possession of the one who purchased it. The difference is, that if GoG "terminates" your account, you can still play your games.

Well, to bad they did not introduced it in WotLK, maybe I would still be playing that game :/

You're having a different discussion than me. You're talking about whether you like those changes or not and whether they seem fun to you. I obviously can't prove you wrong on that. What I'm saying is that those aspects show a very clear divergence from how D&D CRPGs of the past played, so much so that the combat gameplay we see in that video doesn't really evoke games like Baldur's Gate or NWN. That much is quite obvious from that video - unless you think we need to read the manual and play the full game to be able to tell. From what I know of you personally, I think you don't really enjoy hardcore RPG mechanics and would prefer a relatively casual and actiony romp. I don't mean that as an insult - and I don't think you'll take it as one, given your self-professed preferences. I think you may well enjoy SCL. Which is my point. I don't have a bone to grind with SCL not being my cup of tea - that's not a problem. I do think it was disingenious of them to announce themselves as the return of good old D&D CRPGs. Tigranes is right on the money. If I invited all of you for dinner promising steak, prime rib, and an open bar and then when you all get there you find out I'm serving hamburgers and potato chips with one can of cheap beer you'd be a little disappointed. That is not to say burgers and chips are not good, it just wasn't what I promised you. They pitched this project by throwing around the D&D brand and the promise to live up to the IE games and NWN. That attracted a vocal and passionate audience. But the meal they are serving up, even though it's not out of the kitchen yet, is something else entirely. Their own forums have gone from being full of mooning fanboys to shark infested waters. Oh now I understand, Tigranes in future use analogies that involve food..they much easier to understand By the way GD are you really inviting me for dinner....or was this just part of your post and not to be taken seriously..because I love steak and prime rib !!! I think the real message was: "Do you like hamburgers?"

You just broke my heart :'(
