Max finally grew some balls.

Looks like the Pitt.

It looks great to me, and unlike Twitcher 2 I'll be able to run it on my 4-year-old computer with a decent framerates.

Are you using DOSBOX? Or something else? I tried to get dagger.exe running in DOSBOX some years ago but it was hopeless. I would love to play the game again if I could get it running. Get the Ready-to-play version and additional content from the wiki. You also need to tweak DOSBox a bit.

Finished Arena. Now on to Battlespire if I can get it to run. Otherwise, Daggerfall.

That's the point. It's not about recreating the book experience, they'd just make use of the setting to make an open-world game, like Cyanide is now using the setting to make a strategy game. There has been a FPS made in the Wheel of Time setting, and action games set in Middle-Earth. Not to mention there's tons of adventure games using sci-fi/fantasy settings from books, e.g. Discworld, Shannara, Companions of Xanth, Death Gate, etc. It's not like it hasn't been done before.

Ulysses is such a bore.

In before mandatory Uranus joke.

I hope they make Daedric weapons and armour rare again.

How can Jensen use Typhoon without ruining his clothes?

Crafting in BG2 was a pain due to having to deal with that annoying **** Cespenar each time.

I hate riddles

Ex-Twitcher 2 producer Tomasz Gop working on RPG with Deck 13 set for release in 2013 Hopefully, it will be Venetica 2.

Strange, Ultima IV, Ultima VII: Black Gate, Ultima VII: Serpent Isle and Ultima VIII are all (still) abandonware, but Ultima V and VI aren't.

I'm playing TES I: Arena which I last played about 15 years ago. It's an amazingly fun dungeon crawler, and interestingly it uses an experience based system and has a level cap of 20. Not to mention like in D&D there are weapon and armour limits for the various classes, e.g. a mage cannot wear any armour at all and only use daggers and staves. This is a stark contrast with the retarted learn-by-doing system introduced in Daggerfall, which essentially made your character invincible after 6 levels (if you knew what you were doing). I really am wondering who in Bethesda came up with the learn-by-doing system... I'm thinking it was Todd Howard, considering he came in to work on Daggerfall.

Some information on DX:HR comic here: http://forums.eidosgames.com/showthread.php?t=114143 I wouldn't be surprised if it gets molded into a future DLC.

Planning on getting it when it's for sale. Of all the exotic factions in WH40k, it's a pity they picked the most boring and generic one to play with.

Considering how much of a hassle it was to pick up the dead companion's stuff, then hike back to a temple, I did the same. Thank God for Rod of Resurrection in BG2.

YES, YES and OH YES

What about those Deus Ex comics from Dark Horse? What do those add to the game?

When BioWare are widely considered as masters of storytelling, you know that the bar can't be very high. Compare with the 80s, where Infocom held the crown or the 90s with all those excellent adventure games from Legend Entertainment, LucasArts and Sierra.

There were spells in Arena to destroy walls and floors, so the dungeons had to be huge and complex.

In TES I: Arena there was this huge dungeon in the middle of Skyrim, aptly named Labyrinthian, where you need to pick up a piece of the Staff of Chaos. I wonder whether it will be in TES V. It should be.

Finished the game in 29 hours. I really enjoyed the first part of the game, but after Montr
