Since everybody else is a broken record, I can be too: personally find the ui improvements (walk dots based on character colors so you can see at a glance who's going where etc.) alone worth the price. If course i own like 4 or 5 copies of both games evem before the EEs, so price isn't really a consideration for me in the context of the BGs...

Ehm, I got my copies modded to BGT and unfinished business (including download) in less than 15 minutes... So unless you make 100$ per hour, it's overpriced... I for one charge a lot more than that. But as usual, you get the guys who enjoy diy and tinkering and the ones who are happy to hire a professional, so to speak. And, you're definitely getting more than UB and BGT with it (and less green water)

Actually playing bgee for the furst time now that it's at 1.2 (only tried it a bit when it came out). The ui tweaks are great, I prefer the new movies and the new bg2 style npcs and quests are really good so far, but am obviously still in the early phases of those as well. Personally consider that as of the current version, it's no longer a convenience option, but actually a lot better than the modded original.

Wait what? Beware of sleeping girls, especially after they find out that they are not the right one.

I did have clients walk in halfway through the post, if it seems even more disjointed than usual. Don't drink coffee!

I need to mark this in my dear diary, but I do believe I am agreeing with Monte here. They've had a female prime minister, we've had a female president. Any attempts toward further equality since then have been of the "chopping tall people off at knees" variety driven by obvious paranoids. As I grow older and less mellower, and spend an increasing time battling bureaucracy (as a lobbyist) and bureaucrats (as a defence attorney), I have a decreasing amount of patience for the PC thought police. Admittedly, a side effect of the globalisation Monte mentioned is that people seem to assume that their perceptions are universal. Obviously, there are less enlightened corners of the world where the situation is different.

Don't pull an Assange, now!

Yeah, well, then you won't be using their settings, either. Apart from that, I do agree with you.

Yeah, I've been eyeing a certain soft shell jacket for a while, but now that I can afford it, it's gone from all reputable places. Bought it from an Austrian Ebay seller, so if they rip me off, I'm going to hire you and your halloween costume to have a chat with him. Everybody needs a side job thanks to this blasted economy crisis! Whats so special about this particular softshell jacket? Is the jackets lining made of woven nymph hair or what? I liked the colour and looks like the manufacturer is discontinuing it. Just North Face, not anything Gucci, like Arc'teryx. Even I'm not crazy enough to buy Arc from ebay

I'm not sure what you mean here, it was hardly the only reference to fandom peculiarities in the DLC. Considering the air time it has gotten here and elsewhere, it would have been a surprise had it not been referred there.

Take that back, Parker. I agree, there's no point in using pathfinder for Baldur's Gate. Apart from the fact that it's a ruleset from a company that competes with the license holder!

I have a splitting headache, big cases piling up, paperwork I've put in a location so secure I can't quite find it myself and a secretary who's even more disturbing on her few "good" days than on the usual cranky ones.

*shrug*, has the physicality of ice hockey (which is the most popular sport around here) with a strategic dimension that hockey doesn't have. I also follow the Finnish American Football league (including the local minor league team here in the boondocks), but just like hockey mad Finns who watch NHL for the (arguably, anyway) top quality ice hockey in the world, I follow the NFL for the same reasons. How I became a New Orleans "fan" is best described as a coincidence. My dad is big into jazz and blues, so we have quite a few friends from around there, and the Sean Payton/Drew Brees playstyle seems to appeal to me.

Don't get too excited about the Saints running game. The Cowboys defense is downright putrid. LOL Any defense that can make Ingram look THAT good is in serious trouble. Shh, let me have my fun after the sproles-less last week.

The most common cab around here

Saints finally using their running game after last week looked like those guys from old swashbuckling movies who fence with their left hand for the first half of the showdown only to reveal they are actually right-handed for the climax. Or Dallas just blew.

Still, letting other people seeme screw up is off the books

An approach to life you can't take as a trial lawyer. Or surgeon.

You mean JUST like Morinth in ME2?

"Gear hauling"? Scandinavian litigation is weird. Heavy laptop, paperwork and overnight kit I had to haul around in a "city" with invisible cabs. And here I was thinking of battleaxes, chainmail armour, the usual accoutrements for Finnish legal proceedings This made me think of the actual accoutrements, tasers etc., and reminded of the fact that two of the defendants were women (including one who I can only describe in Wayne's World terms as a major babe) and the fact that the female prison guard (not bad herself) was shamelessly flirting with me. Good times. :D

Austria has a conscript army, which, going from Finnish experience, tends to limit the really interesting options. Of course, professional soldiers also have to generally pass some mental health standards... I have no doubt that our strenuous colleague is no madder than me or Monte. For what little that's worth! Indeed if he weren't apparently content I'd have already suggested a PMC. They let me in, too...

Highland park 18yo, still. Has all the stuff I look for in a single malt in one package. In fact, after the two days I've had so far, i'm tempted to just get hammered on work time. Too bad my bosses are teetotallers.
