Pretty much, yeh. Seeing them live once killed the band for me, unfortunately.

Sometimes it's a guaranteed ticket to an .

On one hand the radical Islam wishes to live strictly according to the Qu'ran and introduce the sharia, hence outlawing music, sports, cellphones, television and treating women & girls like dirt... yet on the other hand they also feel the need to spout their drivel on the internet. Does not really compute.

I'd save Nordmar for last. It's the most difficult area, even at high levels. Varant has some interesting dungeon crawling and even a couple of quests involving... women.

Subscribing to Bin Laden's Facebook might do it.

There's another Slovakian RPG called Neverend that didn't make it to the Codex's list. Again featuring turn-based combat & a hawt chick. And it's great that they listed Summoner. Darn fine RPG.

Takes the cake. Slovakian developed + turn-based combat + Penthouse pet as protagonist.

You didn't like the talking deathclaws?

I'm all for gun ownership, as long as ammunition is outlawed. But I guess then them gun-nuts, suffering from withdrawal, would simply go berserk after attaching the bayonets.

I think any character should learn Ice Lance spell. It makes liberating cities (and melee combat) much much easier... especially that city way in the north with the 4 or 5 Orc shamans. The best spells in the game like summon golem/demon take 200+ ancient knowledge, IIRC. What I really like about the game is the beginning. One is immediately thrown in a pretty tough fight, instead of being forced to trudge through an insipid 1 hour tutorial or "origin" story. It reminded me of Beyond good & evil... I have fond memories of wiping out the Orcs, then heading to the beach and getting owned by wolves in two or three hits.

In FO3 one could launch nukes from one of the SatCOM arrays, no? One could even (try to) launch a ballistic missile in Fort Constantine. It will probably be something similar in New Vegas.

Gothic 3 is awesome, but I screwed up the main quest by wiping out Cape Dun shortly after the beginning of the game and forgetting to pick up a fire chalice from an Orc merchant. Whoops. Not sure if it can be cheated back into my inventory... I quit playing doing things in Mora Sul when I realized what I had done. I found it easiest to use ranged against wilderness animals. Melee against a pack of wolves is just hell. And it's too much work trying to beat an ogre or troll in melee. Like in Risen, it's ridiculous how animals can dodge blows and even block (mine crawlers), and generally fight better than humans or Orcs. But ranged combat is teh win... taking out the demon in the paladin fortress is very easy with ranged as well. To boost ancient knowledge, it's best to visit Varant as soon as possible. There's a lot of tablets & pillars to be read there. Best sword I forged was the ruby sword, I think. I never found the flaming sword blueprint that can supposedly bought somewhere very early. Heck, I should probably reinstall the game sometime.

In Mothership Zeta there was an orbital laser as well. Maybe it will somehow be connected. But what I'd really like is a Giddyup Buttercup superweapon that shoots laser beams from its eyes (also seen in Mothership Zeta). It could serve both as vehicle

Adventure games are the best games for kids. It teaches them to think and they can enjoy a good story at the same time. There's already enough violent crap on television.

The only MMO I ever tried was Age of Conan... it's the only one with interesting lore & setting. But I quit as soon as I had to download a few gigabytes of patches & updates. My internet doesn't have the powah for crap like that.

I found that FO3 is very easy, until two Deathclaws suddenly pop up out of nowhere and rape my level 30 character (with all but two skills maxed out) in seconds before I know what's going on. Or even worse, albino radscorpions. That said, giving a perk every three levels + making perks harder to achieve would make the game more challenging for a while. Especially perks like Sniper or Better criticals... those perks effectively end the game combat-wise. And maybe the Grim Reaper Sprint perk (aka Win Button) should be removed from the game altogether.

Melee combat never really became easy in Risen. Lizards could kill you in two hits if you screwed up no matter what, and considering one fought groups in small quarters in the final chapters this happened all the time. Just like in Gothic 3 where groups of wilderness animals could rape your character in seconds even when you were level 50. Easiest way to win the game in Risen is maxing out Ice crystal & swords. That way you can simply freeze & shatter everything. In a way Gothic 3 was more challenging since it took much longer before one became strong in magic... and first time one played the game one had absolutely no idea how to boost Ancient Knowledge quickly.

Why was Zaeed free and not Kasumi? Isn't Zaeed's mission about the same length, if not longer?

Toughest squirrel ever

Can't anyone just finish Dune Nukem Forever?

Even a wannabe mage is forced to take sword training since staves suck bigtime in comparison. I learnt this the hard way when I had to beat some scoundrel to get out of Harbour Town. Took half an hour to slowly chip away his health bar while he could 'kill' Lincoln Burrows in two hits. Melee combat is simply horrible without at least 5 ranks in swords.
