Get FOOK and never look back.

What really would be great is LucasArts actually making the two sequels to Loom, and the sequel to Full Throttle.

Maybe there'll be some new info on BG&E 2.

This is normal. You can manually re-add your companions via the party menu.

That's it, I'm getting this instead of Dragon Age.

2 CD/DVD version works on Vista 32bit & 64bit. Old 4 CD version works too, after fiddling with .dll files a bit.

Morrowind had an 'evil' soundtrack of sorts:

Well, I ran into one in Telos Academy by saying the wrong thing upon entering.

I believe the Groovatron (mod) allows you to change gear of NPCs, and maybe add items/weapons too. Been a while since I toyed with it. Main function, though, is making NPCs dance in a variety of styles.

Morrowind had more guilds to join than Oblivion, but few guilds had good quests save some Imperial cult & Great house Telvanni quests (and maybe Morag Tong too). Oblivion's entire Dark Brotherhood & Thieves guild quest line beats pretty much every quest line in Morrowind, imho. The thing that irks me the most about Oblivion is that there are hardly any books around, unlike Morrowind. Collecting books was one of my favourite parts of the game. Also, they could've kept at least Morrowind's mage teleportation and divine intervention into the game instead of introducing fast-travel system. People thinking that Oblivion's voice acting was beyond worse should play Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard. Now that game has some truly horrendous voice acting, perhaps even the worst voice acting ever.

But those 5 stars hotels...

After a couple of hours, Zo

I'd like an Eastern ninja spy, like in NOLF 2.

I like Wheel of Time too, but I think Robert Jordan, may he rest in peace, couldn't even write a shopping list not exceeding ten pages.. Imo DF is worth experiencing if you really want to know what happens to April Ryan & Co after TLJ... but unfortunately, two rather important characters of the original game which were going to appear in DF, were sadly taken out.

I guess the end boss of DA will be some evil sorcerer/necromancer and a huge dracolich?

O:A could've been decent without the health dispensers, which made some tight spots in the game (invisible snipers) a cakewalk.

I wouldn't call Dreamfall an adventure game but more an interactive movie - how many puzzles are there in the game? I can remember only one. Gameplay is completely reduced to minigames, clunky combat & stealth sections. The story is like a Robert Jordan novel: multiple plot branches are started, but in the end nothing is resolved and it's doubtful whether all threads will ever get tied together again. It is a very good story for discussion & speculation, though. It's very doubtful whether a continuation of Dreamfall will ever appear, with FunCom focusing completely on their new MMO "Secret World"... if things go as smoothly with this MMO as "Ages of Conan" things might get really bleak...

Not by a long shot. But it's worth playing alone to meet some old TLJ characters again & wander around in Arcadia a bit. Apart from that, the game's pretty terrible.

People used to use Bible passages from the same Leviticius to condone slavery, now they use it to condemn homosexuality which is as old as humanity itself (what do you think our Cro Magnon ancestors did when they were away from home for weeks/months to hunt sabre tooth tigers?). Example: Leviticus 19-22

With the bad AI, you can simply hide somewhere and wait til the bad guys with guns get close enough. Or lob some grenades.

Maybe Shepard bites the dust at the end of the game.

This seems less and less George R R Martin and more and more Robert Jordan with each new trailer that is released. Or even David Eddings.

Make sure StarForce did actually update the drivers. In Vista, UAC will sometimes prevent it from updating when one doesn't use right-click and "run as administrator". Also make sure the right patch for your game version is installed. I recently had a similar issue with Securom complaining that the right disk wasn't inserted simply because I had installed a UK version patch while I needed a US version.

Is Vista 32bit or 64bit? Is any "virtual drive" software installed?
