Isn't that Max von Sydow?

IMMURSHON!!

I doubt he knew about it.

The Terminator: Future Shock

Seems I'm going to roll a Vanguard after all. It makes sense too, with Cerberus turning Shepard into a T-800 and all that.

So what special powers do Soldiers get? Bullet-time? Shooting rockets from their hands?

Post-Morrowind Bethesda, yep.

Might as well suggest the old Tenchu: Stealth Assassins for the PS.

Much better than Bastila 2.0

Isn't that the point? If you don't want to bother with the main quest, don't. The same goes for all Beth's RPGs.

Sengoku Rance at least has the disrobing & bedding.

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

Oni.

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.
