Age of Wonders: Excellent turn-based fantasy strategy game featuring a good, Tolkienesque story with 6 different endings & great combat. In fact it's the only strategy game I like besides the Dune series.

I don't know about a pure ranger, but combined with melee or magic ranged seems to be alright. There aren't many good bows in random loot compared to swords... but there's a quest reward bow that's probably the best in the entire game.

Is the David Boreanaz lookalike in the beginning of the video you posted, Revan?

Why don't they simply use Wrex again? Also on some screenshots I've seen a quarian - is that another new follower instead of Tali?

Well, I managed to 'fix' the problem and continue playing. Went into the Broken Valley proper at level 7 & cheesed my way into Lovis' Tower... groups of skeleton archers/mages are not funny for a melee-based character - I had to take them all out with the bow. The quests & especially random encounters in this game are amazing - I found some guy trapped in a hole somewhere who gave me an awesome bow when I did what he wanted. Also the music is fantastic.

Is (s)he romanceable? If it's really a fish, the mating could be interesting.

Is that with or without Bloody Mess trait?

A Sentinel that focuses on stealth and goes Watchman later on, can simply cloak-run (with appropriate feat) past everything on Malachor. Very entertaining.

Well, so-called "battle mages" wear heavy armor, don't they? That said, the 'mage origin' seems pretty meh. I'm torn between Dalish elf rogue & City elf rogue. City Elf seems very alluring, though, with a human noble claiming 'droit de seigneur' and subsequently burning his hands on a damsel-in-distress that suddenly grows fangs.

OK, so the game is ace but I seem to have hit a brick wall... I'm level 6 and when I try to return to the village after leaving a dungeon the game crashes at some point and gives a "-pure virtual function call" C++ error or something in the like... I fear a corrupted save game. Problem is only other save game I have left is one from the start of the game. It seems this started to happen after Vista did a system update... I also can't seem to find where the heck Vista stored the Divinity save games. Grrr!

Is Lilith considered apocryphal by the Catholic church? She nor 'night bird' is mentioned in my Bible.

Drakan: Order of the Flame: Chicks + dragons = kewl. Game has a ridiculously derivative plot & hilariously bad voice-acting, but quite an uncharacteristic ending for a dark heroic fantasy game.

Divinity 2 should arrive home today from Germania...

... and the voice of Grover.

In Drakan, the dragon started with a fire attack but would gain poison, ice, lightning & lava attacks as the game progressed. It was also possible to attack ground enemies - getting off your dragon and luring enemies towards him was a sure & entertaining way to win battles.

How's the dragon combat in the game? Something like in Drakan: Order of the Flame? I wasn't.

Lilith? *swallows another Bloodlines reference* Sounds like a reversal of Fallout 3.

From what I've read the game is called 'easy' because it can be beaten no matter how one disperses the skill points during level-up, not because enemies are easy.

Reading some of the posts in this thread, I wonder why there hasn't yet been a "Leave KOTOR alone!!!" video circulating the web.

... except when Mystra bit the dust.

Hollywood > Toyota

No romances...

Hey Germans are gamers too. And there's lots of them. Is it just me or are the elves a bit too 'Humans with pointy ears' a la Spock? I really liked the NWN / NWN2 art direction whereby you could make some really freaky non-human looking elves. I'm just wondering why sites like IGN or Gamespot aren't bombarding us with DAO material. Maybe BioWare should hire Pete Hines. It seems pointy ears is indeed the only thing that differs Elves from humans, apart from their social status. Now I'm waiting for the 'Marriage of Figaro' update. Deutschland

Wynne >> Morrigan EDIT: Dalish Elf What's it with the Germans doing all updates?

One could park a truck in the gap between the front teeth of the left person. Can't wait for Risen to come out.
