Sengoku Rance at least has the disrobing & bedding.

Hines? The Beth haters are going to have a field day.

Divine Divinity, Divinity 2, Dragon Age.

Well played, sir.

Everything with more than two eyes dies in my game.

First half of the game offers a lot of choice & consequence, and is the best part of the game. But as soon as you gain the Dragonform, it's basically non-stop combat until the end (which makes sense, with the Black Ring running rampant). Still entertaining, though.

a) Story is the continuation of Divine Divinity & Beyond Divinity, and is passable. It's mostly told through short cutscenes at certain pivotal moments in the game. Dialogue is well written and generally well voiced. b) Character development is completely free in the game. Each level up you get 4 stat points & 1 skill point to distribute. If you want to do some magic, you put points in magic skills. Using skills consumes a certain amount of mana (the amount of which depends on Spirit stat & equipment). c) If you can run Dragon Age, you shouldn't have problems with this one. It isn't the best optimized game, though - uses Gamebryo like FO3. But there's a new patch coming out soon.

A few levels & better equipment + your creature make a world of difference most of the time. A single level 5 Fireball takes out the entire Black Ring group in front of the Temple.

Finished three times at level 34 without ever putting any points in Wisdom (or Mindread). Initially putting points in Wisdom/Mindread isn't bad, though, since it's possible to respec later on anyway.

Sounds even more hardcore than Divinity 2. Divinity 2 also uses the BioWare cutscene trick, but with the difference that if you're underleveled for the fight you're dead as soon as you've taken one hit. Pretty hilarious.

Silent Running perk in FO3...

I think I will depend on the ending you chose. If you chose to go rebuild the Grey Wardens and romanced one of the schmucks, I'd expect them to be there in the expansion.

I didn't use my creature much as a Ranger, save in the last part of the game when both my character & creature were unstoppable anyway. He drew too much attention and blew my cover the entire time before that.

Why hasn't Captain LeChuck been mentioned as villain yet?

It's the first Beth game that uses a XP system, and it shows.

Samara... I've always wanted to romance an entire Russian city. BioWare's writers must've been really busy.

It's a Belgian game. I don't mind the convo animations. It's nowhere as exaggerated as in Drakensang, where characters would wave around their arms every 5 seconds. The art direction, character development, music & side quests of this game kick Dragon Age in the teeth.

I always do everything in the opening area and am usually level 6/7 when meeting Talana. There are enough level 8 Goblins & Skeletons in the vicinity to feast upon and level up some before climbing the Tower.

^Balancing is perfectly fine as it is. Only thing that remains is that arrows are still impossible to dodge, meaning enemy rangers with Explosive Arrows will rape your character in two seconds. Problem with archery is finding a good bow. There's only one in Broken Valley that's worth it (quest reward). Just wait til you're level 15 and pick up Explosive Arrows. After that, you'll really kick ass. 'Ranger Stealth' is a pretty good skill to pull enemies from mobs one-by-one without aggroing the entire mob.

SuZe can kick her out of the airlock, in that case.

Fixed.

At least in hard mode there's a bit more to combat in the Witcher than simply clicking the mouse. Using alchemy intelligently is a must. But a very good thing about the Witcher is the possiblity to actually avoid all filler combat by just running away. Try to do that in Dragon Age.

Wouldn't Jacob qualify for that title more? Thane's a frog, after all.
