  1. Wait, you mean the Adamantine Golem isn't always in Firkraag's dungeon? That thing is immune to magic and to everything lower than +3 weapons, and it shreds melee characters as if they were made of paper. There are also the major werewolves or whatever they're called in english (I only ever played the game in french). At least the Adamantium Golem in DeArnise keep is level dependent, I assume the ones in firky's place are, as well.
  2. The fact that it worked out for you and didn't work out for us doesn't make us negative, it makes you lucky. I mean, I know I'll never be able to let fully go again, because the last time I did, I wound up in a bathtub with a knife. 'cept then I decided that I wanted to be a doctor on my headstone, and eventually found a reason to live, even if it was a small and petty one.
  3. (million edits later, yeah I did remember right eventually). IIRC, I always did Trademeet really early on and had very little trouble with it. Now I'm just wondering why.
  4. No, it just means that chinese rating agencies have 0 impact on interest rates etc., unlike S&P.
  5. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod900150a And I didn't even have to go to Forge World for that! ;P I hoped I would've gotten to splash some colours on a Ravager today, but spent most of yesterday with an incapacitating headache, so will work instead.
  6. It's a lot longer than Warden's keep, and has a lot more story than return to ostagar. Though, I agree to a degree, it being the best Dragon Age DLC is more related to how hopelessly mediocre the DAO DLC was. Though I keep forgetting Warden's Keep was DLC, since I had it from day1.
  7. They just never fit in to my party composition - I guess you could call me a stat gamer, since I made sure to always have a fighter, a thief, a mage and a cleric (or Jaheira, who has her Harper raise dead spell) and he kept getting the short straw, probably because he takes the longest out of any Bio NPC to recruit. I think you might be glossing over some BG1 NPCs there.
  8. Today, am researching the conspiracy of states and airlines. You'd like this stuff. ;P

  10. In my experience, the dickwad making these decisions in most corporations is not a lawyer. The poor bastards have enough work without googling for random words related to products. It's kind of like gun control. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Lawyers don't make idiotic lawsuits, the people who they work for make the decisions.
  11. I dunno, I think it depends partly on the language (and culture, of course). Swearing in Finnish, all those lovely rolling Rs... very therapeutical and soothing. And as anyone who's seen the first Matrix sequel (y'know, the one where you still thought they could salvage it with a good third installment?) knows, swearing is French is like wiping your ass with silk...
  12. I agree, but the last time I've seen them flat out deny something that did eventually take place was the ME2 PS3 version. And even then the senior project staff were dancing around the issue, while "Evil" Chris Priestly did the denying. Not that I care one way or the other, I've not played a single MP game outside of NFSHP in the last 5-6 years. Seems like an odd issue to keep coming up. Well, they probably can do co-op better now with their SWTOR experience than they could back in the BG/2/NWN days... Also, Raithe is referring to the same thing I was.
  13. They might just oblige you and put you in a small comfortable space with no option for getting out.
  14. That's strange, since it was one of those questions that they actually answered (instead of dithering around) with a direct "no" at the Comic con. The dancing around was that they are "looking at multiplayer for other games in the franchise". I have this nagging feeling that there is a separate MP game, which takes place in parallel to ME3, without Shepard. Also allows them to sell two games.;P
  15. ^^ Also, applaud your consistently well-founded posts. Too many people (myself often included) let themselves be blinkered by ideology into finding "easy answers".
  16. Bioware having a dedicated 2d studio has the potential to be either awesome, or the factory of saddest facebook franchise knock-off games in the history of mankind.
  17. ... I'm speechless. I didn't think anyone could actually try sneaking hotel internet by as a good example of connection unreliability. I stand corrected.
  18. Well, if there are any people in the world who will dislike it, we'll find them on this forum.
  19. Agree. My point was that it should be the "easy way" of doing it, yet Homefront and MoH seemed to spectacularly fail at... scripting. TBH, I haven't played either game, but I assume they tread too far from the CoD rollercoaster (which are on rails) approach.
  20. Bioware is Bioware is Bioware. In other words, nothing has changed. Apart from the fact that they are essentially self-publishing now. I think this is more related to SWTOR than anything else.
  21. BioWare has been splintered off from the EA Games label into its own organization.
  22. I never understood how people could live as contractors... Not so much the time that is spent working hard on projects, but the uncertainty between projects spent searching for the next project. Regardless of how good you are and may be in demand, the one time where it is really inconvenient, the timing will suck, Increasingly, you don't have a choice.
  23. This, I think, is a top sign that you should play more games. Examples? I start a lot of games, but very few of them manage to capture my attention these days. Arkham Asylum had it all - story, characters, learning curve, gameplay, graphics, music, and voice acting. The few minor qualms I had about the game were so insignificant compared to the game's merits that they are barely worth mentioning. See, that's the funny thing. Over the past ten years there are three games that I've started, but haven't been sucked in enough to finish. They are: Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, GTA IV and Arkham Asylum. I have to admit, while I know what my beef with the first two games of the list are, I'm having a lot more trouble putting my finger on it with AA. For some reason, whenever I boot it up, I just become really, really bored very quickly. Guess it just shows how people are different. I adore Mass Effect 2, and I believe a lot of people here have similar issues with it that I have with AA. *shrug*
