Is this game going to be like Borderlands? I've looked up some trailers and they showed only racing...

I can guess a lot of copies would be returned to store after the Xbawksers repeatedly getting their asses handed to them by even a tiny bloatfly.

I have no idea whether luck influences random encounters. Of all characters I've played, I've only had the alien ship crashing once the first time I played the game and that character only had mediocre luck... I did meet Uncle Leo each time, though. First time I played the game I promptly ran into a guy called Sam Warrick. Killed him which netted me leather armor + sniper rifle right out of the vault. Haven't seen that guy again in other playthroughs... it's of course possible that those guys get killed by wasteland critters.

Dark Messiah of Might & Magic is a Fantasy FPS that use the Source engine and came out in the same year in Oblivion I believe. The combat & levels are great, the story is kind of a follow-up to the one of Heroes of Might & Magic V. Gothic 3 is a open-world RPG like Oblivion. The game works with several factions one does quests for and there's a reputation system that determines how the factions react to you. I was playing it until a couple of weeks back, but I put it on hold since I got a bit bored with the quests which are all of the same 'fetch/kill' type (even the main quests).

Seeing those pics, I would also want to be Pr

Is the lady polishing their shoes?

*5 minutes before ending credits roll* "So, Spectre...Do you want to die?" - What? - If that is what it takes, yes... - Try me, you scum! - [Charm] You look hot in that jumpsuit. - [intimidate] Do you?

I downloaded the new Witcher patch and am playing the fan-made custom adventures.

The girl is 16-year old Mayora Tavares, Brazil's youngest politician.

"Commander" Shepard seems the most unmilitary person in the military ever when one goes down the renegate route. Insulting superiors, total disregard for civilian casualties & officers under his/her command, fraternization, putting guns into people's faces... and now pushing uncooperative people through windows. It's all so over-the-top.

Agreed about the swashbuckler build, I played a swashbuckler/rogue in SoZ and the game was very fun to play with Bluff/Taunt/diplomacy maxed out.. I didn't pick ranger levels since the one I took along in Samarlong was pretty good. AC shouldn't be a problem once one can make +5 mithril breastplate & +5 cloak of deflection. With improved two-weapon defense it should be at least equal to AC of a stud wearing heavy armor. In MOTB one can ultimately make +8 armor & cloak but it isn't really necessary.

As with Arena, getting out of the first dungeon without reloading ten times is quite a feat... it's easy to run into a pack of goblins just after your weapon broke. There's no minimap in Daggerfall, and them dungeons are all huge labyrinths. It's said that even lead designer Ken Rolston couldn't get out of the starting dungeon without dying several times.

They should make Battlespire and Redguard available for download. Those games are impossible to find nowadays, but are awesome.

It reminded me of the one in Dark Messiah

Sloth demon, huh? I'm surprised a video wasn't released featuring the Desire demon...

For those interested, the very first Mechwarrior is abandonware: Link

I might get it. I see it comes with five new "side-adventures"... if any of those is as good as "The Price of Neutrality" it'd be a fair deal.

Shien is the best saber style hands down, IF one uses critical strike and a keen lightsaber with opila crystal any cell that gives additional critical damage. Otherwise, Juyo > Makashi Exar Kun?

Been toying around with the Morroblivion mod:

microsoft.com or simply use Windows update...

Dunno. Once you get access to Spectre gear and/or acquire Colossus armor, the game becomes easy mode on any difficulty.

Oh! To be a true Fallout fan! Btw, for those that deem Bethesda strayed too far from the vaunted Fallout formula, I present this: Return to Shady Sands

Well, if it is done like in the Witcher with the oil painting cutscenes, then I can see nothing wrong with it. I do not mind killing off potentially recruitable NPCs. If it's possible, I'm definitely going to kill that over-hyped scarecrow Morrigan.

I'd go with cold resistance. But frankly, death magic is more of an issue in MOTB than elemental magic.

There's Wacken Open Air in Kiel, Germany at the end of July...
