Right. Like Jade Empire. Oh, wait, no huge organization of elite warriors or ancient race. BG2? I don't recall a huge organization of elite warriors and I wouldn't call Irenicus an 'ancient race.' NWN, it has the ancient race, but no HOEW. Sorry for the late post, but as for JE I'd say the Lotus Assassins could apply as a huge organization of elite warriors.

A game should be made based on this person

Can Visas wear armor? Never tried it on her. I always use the Sith Combat Suit for Mira because it allows a +7 dex modifier and I always use her as a dual-wielding gun slinger, and well the Handmaiden looks good in pretty much everything.

I think you mean taking the Wraid Plate from Sharina Fizark on TATooine. You're right, it's been a while since I played it, sorry. Dark side is fun but it's so over the top sometimes. Like in Manaan with the two scientist in the underwater base: "I'll get what you want, and kill you two as well!".

Let's just call it Science!... Seriously, if one applies real-life science, the entire Fallout universe is WTF.

I'm not sure how exactly the Red Eclipse triggers... I think how you react to Quello in the beginning ultimately decides how 'fast' it'll trigger.

Heavy armor: Corellian power suit (looks incredibly amazing on the Handmaiden) Medium armor: Sith combat suit (simply the best) Light armor: Mandalorian heavy suit Robes: either Ossus Keeper Robe or Matukai adept robe

Among other things, I'm replaying KOTOR II as a neutral blaster wielding 'Jedi' for the first time. Apparently I won't be picking up Visas, so I wonder what this'll do to the fight with Nihilus later on. Very interesting.

Err, is that meant as a compliment or as an insult?

Clearing the Red Eclipse from your ship is necessary to advance the quest, yes... it can take a while before it triggers but it should happen sooner or later. But even after Red Eclipse it can take a while before Visquis calls you... last time I played I still had to wander around for an hour before Visquis.

I like the green. Makes them easier to spot in the midst of all that dreary brown of the Wasteland.

For dark siders, something from Emperor or Dimmu Borgir would be most fitting.

Our government just ordered 20 million new vaccines with a pharmaceutical firm, which comes down to 2 vaccines per person. For 150 million euros. Glad to see that taxpayer money being put to use...

That sounds much better than that predictably one-sided IGN review. I'll be looking for the game here.

Good Lord, man. Why? Well, whats the competition from other RPGs really? Winning the Harvest Cup, surely?

That's probably the hardest fight in the game. Only other fight that comes close is one in Chapter 4.

Or possibly a Super Mutant Elvis impersonator singing Viva Las Vegas? Robert Ghoulet?

Changing keys didn't solve the problem for me, since in my case it was a human-interface device getting in the way. The 'final' solution would be reinstalling XP...

Ironically enough, I needed to use KOTOR 2's mss32.dll to get KOTOR 1 to work.

Heh, I might still get this game, no matter the review. I was looking forward to it as I'm a huge WWII history buff. Heck, I played Frank Herbert's Dune which got horribly reviews everywhere, but I still managed to finish it (even moderately enjoy it) despite the game's problems simply because I'm a huge Dune fan.

The game (imo) succeeds both in recreating Sapkowski's gritty medieval world and does well in introducing the main themes from the books - mainly mistrust between humans & non-humans - The game takes place a few years after the end of the books, and basically deals with the 'aftermath' of certain big events in the books. I just have problems with the beginning of the game which doesn't make sense at all (and is never resolved or explained either), but the story as a whole is very agreeable with what Sapkowski wrote. In fact, I remember reading an interview with Sapkowski where he said he liked the story, but can't find it right now. One of the best parts in the game (for me) is how the game alludes to events in the books, and how certain book events have ramifications on the game's story. Seeing book characters appear in game is nice too. EDIT: Link

As an Elder Scrolls 'veteran', I was pleasantly surprised, even relieved, that FINALLY Bethesda threw away the old "random unknown (usually a prisoner) gets send into the unknown" shtick. At least FO3 managed to give some background to the PC.

I liked the combat, it really gives the player the feel of keeping up the momentum in the witcher sword styles. The magic is quite overpowered, though. You can easily max out Aard, Yrden & Igni signs and finish the game without any melee combat. The story is good, but for somebody who read the books the beginning doesn't make any sense at all... but hopefully the Witcher 2 (if/when if comes out) will shed some more light on this.

Literally starting out of the womb and seeing your daddy's face should be the standard in every RPG from now on.

*achievement sound* Followed by *level up!* and *Enclave radio signal found*? Hehe. Unfortunately for me, the epic gaming moment of leaving Vault 101 was spoiled as it was plain night time when I got out.
