I would save all of my wands of summoning for that final battle and unleash a massive horde of skeletons and gibberlings on Sarevok then trounce him while he was busy swatting them away. heh this reminds me of my one most fond memory of Baldur's Gate (BEFORE Tales of the Sword Coast came out...). When fighting Saravok, I on a sheer stroke of luck summoned some Kobolds (who use normal arrows) and they ended up killing him. BEST damn memory of all time. Then BioWare fixed this (with later patches and Tales of the Sword Coast).

There is a problem with spawns (and a number of changes that greatly annoy me) that is inherit to TuTu/EasyTuTu/BGT etc... because they use the Baldur's Gate II engine. I think it's that there are some functions that are present in BG but are no longer available in the BG II engine. For example the people trying to do BG II in the Icewind Dale II engine discovered there is no longer a built in function to check if you are casting spells within the city of Athkatla... so the wizards can never show up if you do, and arrest you. Which is sad. Oddly, I am really surprised after all these years of modding, no one has added a wrapper type of app that adds new functions and other goodies like Time Slip has done with his Fallout SFall app/wrapper.

I'd completely un-install BG and wipe all files and re-install. And yeah, the spawn system in Tutu makes me rage. There is also the BGT Mod But I have not tried it yet to see if any of the "changes" to BG1 would equally make me rage... This is why when I install BG1 and II after I install them I completely copy each of those directories so I do not have to re-install again. Granted I have a ridiculous amount of HD space on my game computer...

Why not? As one of those people who played the city sections but gave up when it turned into a grind fest I'd say playing the first half of the game is worth it even if you don't finish it. Lionheart had such a cool setting, good art and quests in the city. It is shocking how great the game starts and then how bad it gets later. It was the last PC game from Interplay as well as it's Death Knell. So it preserves it's proper place as the last Interplay game I will never play.

I bought this at the store the day it came out. I have never ever played it...

Indeed. If I had to guess... I think The Ultima Collection as well as the Wing Commander series just might be coming to GOG.... *cough*

That would be great. I just wonder is LA going to make more special editions, or at least thinking about doing more. If they are, I doubt they are going to let GOG sell the originals now. I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope they are the originals, just played via DOSBox or ScummVM, only in that I am one of the very small group of people that actually own a Roland MT-32 and I can play the old games in all it's original musical awesomeness. <3 <3 <3

Laidlaw DR II Interview

GOG to add new games from several publishers EA, Square Enix, LUCAS ARTS, M$ Game Studio and Take 2. OH GOD PLEASE release all the old classic LA adventure games!

Just in case someone was considering playing this again, there is the huge bug fix Unofficial patch, HQ Town Maps, HQ Music patch and the Hi Res patch as well at http://www.terra-arcanum.com/downloads/

While the sheer thought of Obsidian being approached by a Publisher to do an Isometric turn-based game makes my inner child squeal in utter delight.... that's never going to happen.

STEAM coming to PS3 This is most strange...

Please please please please please don't mess this up PB!

Really? AFAIK Bioware said DA2 sold 1 million copies in two weeks. VGChartz pegs it at 927,857 in two weeks discounting digital distribution (Doubling PC sales figures to account for such would yield 1,109,689). Unless you live in the land of unattainable standards and eternal failure, I'd say that's a pretty decent estimate. You do understand when there are public announcement about sales figures from a company, they do NOT state exact sales numbers right? You do understand all of the factors that surround such an announcement as well as why they do not ever release actual sales numbers right? VGChartz are fake magical fantasy numbers. He is 100% correct in that assessment.

Sierra/Activision

Yeah same here. I still prefer the original screen size myself, or just a slightly larger screen size, but nothing too extreme.

Hopefully with Ghostdog's PS:T UI and ~Qwinn's PS:T Fixpack & PS:T UB?

This utterly baffles me. Having shooting being tied to a skill which you must use skill points to increase to make it better, is a bad thing? I have never understood this.

Well having Dungeon Siege 1 could allow one to play one of the best cRPG mod/game to grace us in decades, Lazarus and the Ultima 6 Project. Though no one knows if the STEAM version will work with it yet.....

No it doesn't actually. I'm not ungrateful honey. I'm highly offended actually. On topic: Curious how this import save thing will work? Will there be actual in game C&C if we import our save? Also some cool combat music here.

Geralt is as straight as it gets, plus he's like James Bond. Thus there is likely going to be at least one nice and obligatory sex scene. (there was one at the beginning of the first game) You should probably stick to Bioware games. I'll only be sticking to The Mass Effect series. DA series is terrible.

Tasteful or not. I just don't like forced Heterosexual Sexual encounters placed upon me as a player.

I sure hope that crap is optional. D:

That your lawyer? No. One of my favorite writer's on the Mass Effect team. <3

And we start ME3 on Trial...... Don't fail me Patrick...
