There's a console command: player.placeleveledactoratme 001349b6

Pics or it didn't happen.

NASA is wasting a lot of money when they could have just gone to the beach and look at them gravity waves.

Hopefully the Witcher 2 will have a similar melee system. It works really well and is fun. After Risen and now this game, I won't stand for time-based clicking any longer (not to mention, I think Reality Pump has already thoroughly beaten both CD Projekt & BioWare in the bootie department). Some skills are overpowered though. A few points in Humbling blow and you can basically one-hit kill every humanoid enemy in the game.

Melee combat in TW2 is cake. Just max out Defensive stance & Retribution and all you have to do is just block & counterattack to beat everything. I killed the cyclops without losing health. I also tried archery a bit in the beginning of the game but found it too annoying to be useful. Dying isn't even possible since you can always pause the game by opening the inventory and craft thousands of health & endurance potions.

Quite a few FO3 sidequests had non-violent solutions, actually. IIRC only Reilly's Rangers and the Fire Ant quest was non-stop combat.

I'm not completely sure, but it seems that it's the version made for release in Germany that's available, but you can switch to English and it has the English audio. Perhaps virumor could confirm this? You can get it here. Glad to hear it's good, though. It's true. I got the game via amazon.de

My 2 INT character had 11 skill points each level-up (4 less than my current 6 INT with Educated) and maxed out her tagged skills by the end of the game. But still she was able to get repair/medicine/lockpick/science over 50. No lockpick mostly means missing out on some stimpaks, ammo and bottle caps. Plus a few unique weapons. No science means not having to bother with the hacking minigame, which is heaven. Medicine would be completely useless if some quests didn't use skill checks for it. Stimpaks are made redundant by Sunset sarsaparilla & food. Repair is even more useless in my experience, but for users of energy weapons with overcharge ammo it may be a different story.

If they bothered to include finishing animations where you'd sever a limb or lop off a head, those amounts of blood would make sense. Action games like Dark Messiah & Blade of Darkness did it right. Still, the blood wasn't as silly as that slow-mo kill animation where a heavily armoured fighter would jump two metres into the air to stab a maul (yes, a maul) into an Ogre.

I also didn't have a slide for the BoS in the end. Strangely enough, though, I did receive a slide for a group called "the Misfits" that I had never even encountered or heard of.

That Alpha Protocal sale is a slap in the face for anyone who paid full-price less than six months ago.

judging by the intro and the first two areas, it's crap. I think it's a very poor story, for a first chapter, that is. maybe it gets better. the game itself is beautiful, though. a very good engine. the only problem is character animation. the hero look like a cripple when running You haven't played the first game, have you? The beginning makes a lot more sense if you did. The entire prologue is great and beats pretty much every other action RPG out there.

Aveline looks a lot like the female pirate archetype from Drakensang.

Hitler was a socialist, alright.

Has anyone tried dragging Hanlon's corpse out of the room? Or mutilating the corpse while the rangers are watching?

With the GECK you can normally change faces of NPCs. I'm thinking of replacing Cass' face with Sunny Smiles', who's pretty much the only good-looking female in the game apart from a custom-made courier.

Does it work on the super mutants from Jacobstown? I thought everybody there was a bit too glum.

I wonder why... oh wait

Ranger Sequoia isn't unique. Veteran Rangers carry it as well.

It's a bearded man. It might be Chief Hanlon.

Can any Fallout nut here tell me whose face is on the $50 NCR bill? Tandi's on the $100 and Aradesh on the $20, but I don't recognize the other one.

Painkiller & Doom 2 are literally post-apocalyptic.

- Take Far Cry 2. - Apply orange-brown filter. - Mission accomplished.
