Please spare the Daughter of Chaos. In fact, head on back down into the Chasm of the Abyss and farm 80 humanity for the poor girl. Her story is just sooo tragic *sniff*. I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but that's the faction I actually joined on my playthrough...aaand then I cheated my humanity via Cheat Engine to the top 20 of the list simply to see if it would work, (60,000 was the max, if I recall correctly - whoever got there first stayed there in the order they got there). Kind of a silly faction, but it did seem to be the best singleplayer one...

Hey, I liked the ninja flip ring. Wolf Ring is alright, but I prefer to not get hit to begin with. Then again, I was also pretty much purely a dexterity character and only used the default thief outfit, (since I thought everything else I picked up either looked ridiculous or was too heavy or very likely a combination of both), so that might've affected my outlook a little...

Are you...not supposed to? I soloed everything in Dark Souls except the end game boss and the DLC content...and I didn't solo those because I kinda just got bored of the game after the fourth Lord Soul and quit. Although, admittedly, I do think that those guys were probably the hardest of the bosses that I did do. I also ended up killing Smough first, which you're apparently not supposed to do...

InExile is plotting to ruin Torment by making it turn-based
Bartimaeus replied to khango's topic in Computer and Console
That's not even a spell that's in any of the BG games...lol -
Ha! This is me, too. If I can't get *any* character names out of the dozen or so I have in a list, (literally, I keep them in a list, ), I just give up.

Why? It is being very uncooperative. If I don't turn the AI completly off, the party is acting extremly stupidly. If I do turn it off, they very often refuse to take orders at all. I don't remember having so much trouble with it when I played it back when. I do. I left the party AI on because I could not be bothered. And...given how easy the game is (on core), it's especially not worth the effort. And this coming from a guy who never used party AI in BG/IWD except by mistake...

I created single CD install/play .isos of of all the Infinity Engine games years ago, (and there's also an .exe modifier to disable the CD check if you did full installs that works on all of the Infinity Engine games - it also does it cleanly enough that any mods that also patch the .exe still work perfectly)...but if you're not a big fan of the fuss of modding, fair enough.
-
I still find the fact that they made/are making this very impressive...but also still think that the chances of me wanting to try and play Baldur's Gate in the NWN engine/setup to be close to nil.

Ew. Didn't back it, but mayhap won't be purchasing it when it's released, either. Ah well. Other people's problem, not mine. -
In game? No. Some of the weapons in Dark Souls...I don't think I could make myself go through the game looking as you would with some of them. Used a relatively normal sized blade, (Balder Side Sword), on my playthrough.

I know I'm not the OP, but since I still have frame issues, too...: 2x4GB DDR3, Phenom II x4 970 3.5GHz, AMD 5770, some 1TB 7200 RPM hard drive. 2013/08/30 GPU drivers, Windows 7 x64 SP1 for OS. Game doesn't run at all without being in compatibility mode (for Windows XP SP2). Getting a little on the old side, but should be way more than sufficient for silly Neverwinter Nights 1,

My FPS is still kind of terrible in the original Neverwinter Nights, too. In some areas, it's alright...in others, like Blacklake, it was like 15, haha

Ehm, I got my copies modded to BGT and unfinished business (including download) in less than 15 minutes... So unless you make 100$ per hour, it's overpriced... And, you're definitely getting more than UB and BGT with it Yes...that's the bad bit.

I have given the men the ability to detect time.

Since we're on the subject... -90% off of Lava Mortus -90% off of KnightShift -75% off of Delve Deeper ...and maybe actually hopefully kind of useful to somebody... -50% off of Age of Empires 2: HD Edition

They do? In that case, why weren't they improved for BG1:EE, since they mostly switched over to BG2 sprites, (or created some of their own (or used what modders created before the game was released, mainly 1pp's/Erephine's, I think))?

Thanks for posting! Audience seems a little tepid so far, but I always like listening to him speak. -
Oh thanks, how kind of you. Yep, it worked...and thanks, for real.

Well, for me, it's not that I don't want the games in question, but rather that I just don't really feel comfortable asking/taking from people I don't really know combined with this being a community where I'm not really...a full member of, so to speak. While I could enjoy the game, I just feel really perturbed by asking for something that could go to someone else that the person giving it out actually knows. I think I'm inadvertently being a hypocrite for saying this...(because I can reasonably expect an outcome of doing this...), but it also disturbs me that I can even contemplate asking for Trine 2, too, especially right after getting Batman. So how much do you value getting rid of it vs making me feel hypocritical? If you respect me at all, you won't give it to me! Thanks, ShadySands, for Batman: AC!

Poker Night 2. This game almost seems like a stepdown, in some ways, from the previous. No difficulty options, no way to skip dialogues, no way to tone down the amounts of dialogue, seems like there's LESS dialogue in general...occasional bugs, (crashed three or four times in the span of four hours; had pocket sevens and there was a pair of sixes and another seven in the window/community cards, but I was beat by someone with two pair while it reported me as having a mere pair of sevens, ). There are some improvements, but...all in all, thank God, once again, for Cheat Engine - what would've taken probably ten hours to unlock everything and get all the silly achievements for only took me about two normal speed and two 3-5x speed.

If you can't find anyone else, I would like Arkham City...I wasn't gonna ask, since I'm relatively nobody, but since you keep insisting...
-
Ah, yes, that would explain a bit. Personally not a big fan of NPC/romance mods...and actually, the longer and longer it has been since Baldur's Gate (2) was released, the more and more I find all the NPC party members fairly two dimensional as well as extremely annoying. I also tend to build my own parties, (these last few years, anyways), and play with the harder of the SCS components, so that might affect it a little, too.
-
Pocket Plane [Group] classics? What do you have in mind, exactly? Only PPG mods I'd have installed would be some bits of Unfinished Business, (not all of it, mind you), some of Quest Pack, and...er...Ashes of Embers' weapons component...if it hadn't be superseded by Nythrun's Level 1 NPCs. Honestly, I find a lot more (to like) at Spellhold Studios and the Gibberlings 3.

Neverwinter Nights 1. It's not as bad as I feared it might be, but not as good as I remember, either. Playing a dual-wielding, non-stealth oriented Rogue. Thank God for Cheat Engine and its injectable speedhack - the game is much more bearable at 3-5x speeds than it would be at normal speeds. Honestly, I just don't know what I'd do without Cheat Engine a lot of the time.

... if average post-secondary education years were 7, your typical pair o' nike shoes would cost ~$400 'cause the women working in sweatshops in thailand and indonesia would be having masters and doctorate degrees. 'course the shoes would be made less well, but you gotta pay for all that snooty self-importance that comes with advanced degrees, no? HA! Good Fun! Mr. Gromnir esq. BS BFA MFA JD The exact question: "In the world as a whole, men now aged 25-34 years spent a total of eight years at school. How long did women in the same age group spend at school?" The question is kind of vague, but I think it assumes that the group of women were getting postsecondary education to begin with - not that the average woman, regardless of location, actually spends 7 years doing so, but that the average college/university-goer that is also a woman does. Unless somebody else has a different interpretation?
