Schweddy Balls.

Hmm yeah,

The thought makes me shudder, I've had so many hair pulling moments from crashes in their games, especially when mods come into play.

Hmm, the price of all DLC combined is

I wish Bioware would get around to licencing out the engine

Unfortunately John Carmack said the Tech 5 engine wouldn't be able to support an Elder Scrolls/Fallout 3 type game. "The megatexture direction [in id Tech 5] has some big wins, but it's also fairly restrictive on certain types of games'; [and] it would be a completely unacceptable engine to do Skyrim in, where you've got the whole world, walking across these huge areas."

One day I'll get around to playing Daggerfall, it's definitely on my must do list.

Yeah Little Lamplight is agonising, the only other place I found anywhere near as annoying was Oasis, head north if you dare.

Looks like a child in the background, I'm glad they're going with the Fallout 3 lockpicking system, though having the barrel rotate on an old fashioned lock seems a bit weird. *edit* I love it when Chrome tries to translate Japanese. "and from previous work as an RPG is powered up and all respects, just like another game like 5 years of evolution while clenching Enjoy crisp" While clenching, enjoy crisp! I remember a particular skeleton in the ashlander burial caverns in Morrowind, that cheap bastard had me stumped for ten minutes with enchanted arrows, loved it, I hope they keep paralysis in.

Less than two months to go, I'm still rather shocked at how quickly time has passed for me this year.

Not classical, more on the Borderlands/WoW side of the fence, everything respawns within minutes and the game is kinda geared towards multiplayer but it masquerades as a single player game pretty well, as long as you don't expect a persistent world or deep story telling it's quite a lot of fun.

I think people in general have low standards when it comes to writing, as for MCA's writing I loved PST, it honestly moved me, but Chris himself has said that the actual plot isn't anything special outside of the context of video games, I'd have to agree, it doesn't take anything away from the experience to admit that.

I'm not keen on the trend either but I can see the appeal for developers, easy money from the die hard crowd...though thinking about it, they're the ones who should probably be rewarded for their dedication, crazy world I thought the New Vegas box set was very classy, shame they haven't gone that route, or at least offered some kind of middle ground.

It does sound a bit odd, kinda like comic book writing spoken aloud, I'll bet it sounds less jarring when it's in the context of the game, alongside the music and ambience.

If you told me it also included ultra violent bloodlettings and tentacle rape I might be interested

I'd link to one of those Kronar comics on Oglaf, if it wouldn't get me banned. BLOOD AND THUNDER!

Yeah I really enjoyed Knights of the Nine, it had a lot of Kirkbride's ramblings and the dungeons were pretty cool with puzzles n stuff.

I'm nearing the end of act 2, I can smell the boss fight lingering in the distance but it doesn't bother me that much, the first game kinda had boss battles too.

The dungeons in Shivering Isles were leaps and bounds better than Oblivion, far more interesting layouts with tons of encounters and lore woven into them.

I'll quickly post this without reading anything so as to preserve my innocence, loving it so far, , it's freaky how much this feels like an old game with a graphical makeover, I get a pretty big Bloodlines vibe running around the hubs.

I loved Oblivion. I loved Fallout 3. I adore Morrowind. That's the order I played them, Oblivion I put down to being my first time, a shame to get your cherry taken by such a rough edged brute but it lead me to better things, I really don't think I could play it again though, my final run of Fallout 3 is suffering too, I think it's over familiarity. Morrowind on the other hand I've only played once and it utterly drew me in, as a game I think it kinda sucks, an imbalanced jumble of half baked systems...which is half the appeal, leaping to Solstheim and back, jumping again and landing in the middle of the Ghostfence to get slaughtered by Daedra and corprus infected, Skyrim isn't going to top that, it probably won't keep me up at night pondering the nature of godhood and immortality either. I'm sure I'll love it though Seems I'm their little bitch

Judging by various monitoring tools the game isn't really stressing any of my components, I reckon it'll need a driver update from Nvidia, seems all these DX11 games need immediate driver updates if you want to use the fancy features

The new patch should've taken care of that? It cut down loading screen time but the in game streamed loading still causes pretty bad hiccups, though apparently not everyone is being affected.
