    Yes, I like France. Apart from Paris, that is. I've been to virtually every country in Western Europe, apart from Scandinavia and Portugal. I like Italy. Love Germany. My favourite European city is Berlin, closely followed by Rome. I love Europe. I just don't feel European.
  2. Monte Carlo
    I can't be European. I like it there, but nobody speaks English. Well, they do if you ask nicely.

    Hey Metiman, I've written you a poem in your other thread.
  4. Monte Carlo
    Please dont go, Metiman For I am your biggest fan Your loss would create a barren place Just because you prefer turn-based (Wailing guitar solo) Please stay, just for a day While we see if there is a third way I hate to see how badly you frown When you hear of Biowarian spell cool-downs... (Dirge-like wailing by vestal virgins, etc).

    OMG ITS ON WIKIPEDIA IT MUST BE TRUE Many Britons don't consider themselves "European." We never had Napoleonic Code, we eat proper breakfasts and it falls to us to sort out the Germans every century or so. Please leave us alone.

    No. Please go and play with your monopoly money and driving on the wrong side of the road. We are an island.

    OK, here's my take as a prodigious end-user (NOT a modder) of IE mods. I am an unashamed fan of the G3 and PPG. I am an aVENGER fanboy. Make the tools accessible enough for the folks who know what they are doing be able to use them. I am an elitist. Lots of mods are crap, but the ones made by the credible, peer-reviewed modders are great. So the tools should be suitable for them. I would also like more developer-generated content for hopefully obvious reasons.

    Companion animal that has combat uses = druids and rangers = kewl 'Pets' = MMO nonsense = lame

    Have you played Durlag's Tower in BG1? It doesn't have to be like Torchlight or Diablo.

    It's a quote from Groucho Marx. Not Karl.
  11. Monte Carlo
    Yes, but remember that I'd never join a club that would have me as a member

    I have given in and upped my pledge to join your desperate ranks in this vile hive of scum and villainy. Henceforth I shall be... Monte Carlo, Vorpal Panzerfaust of the Obsidian Order.

    I think a marshmallow gelatinous cube would be terrifying. But if you killed it you'd have enough food for weeks.
  14. Monte Carlo
    Can I second the giant marsh-mallow gelatinous cube please?
  15. Monte Carlo
    Does that mean you will stop posting now please?

    It's a great idea. Not essential for me, but a good idea nonetheless.

    I'm very impressed with the announcement about modding tools and distribution. And not even a stretch-goal.
  18. Monte Carlo
    Combat news = great Pets / books etc = shrugs Edit: Will giant pencils be in the game?

    I like the spell-casting system. I hope it assuages some of the fears of the people who hated cool-downs.

    I think all of the comments and preferences in this thread are cool, because of course we are going to have all these funky difficulty options... but maybe on a second playthru some people might choose to take a walk... on the DEAD side.
  21. Monte Carlo
    I have no problem with difficulty sliders. Folks should be able to play the way they like, but IMO normal setting should at least give people the chance to experience a difficulty setting that makes them think and use the options the game offers.
  22. Monte Carlo
    Dude, why give them the benefit of the doubt? They'll just pander to the fan-base and make it ****. It's EA, right?
  23. Monte Carlo
    ^ No, I don't think so.

    Hello. I'm not playing many games at the moment. Posting on this forum is, ironically, eating into that but I'm cool. What I am playing is a game of Icewind Dale with a party of evil desperadoes. I am being fairly strict: no re-loads. By the time I got to Kuldahar I had two characters left and had to spend 400gp on Raise Dead. This was fun. Why? Because the route to Kuldahar was tough. I made some crap decisions (I swapped out my normal ranged fighter specialist for a Ftr/ Drd and paid for it, she's awful at level 1/1). Death as a mechanic can make or break a game. Having a party get smaller and smaller, making you think more and more (to the point where you might just quit and start again) is good. I'll say that again: Getting your ass handed to you because you were crap is good.
