I think you mean Shani, right?

Male-shep had the same effect on me as Jennifer Hale had on you, I presume. I could'nt play more than 10-15 minutes with that voice without going bonkers.

More information about schools

Speaking as a Swede; Not everyone here speaks English, some people are pretty, just as everywhere else, we have a 30% taxrate and 25% extra on everything we buy. Oh, and the politicians are idiots. On the "plus" side of things, people here seems to want us to become more American by the day! Don't have a clue about permits or visas I'm afraid. Yet, atleast. Oh, and I forgot to mention that we have some huge unemployment issues amongst youths here. Atleast, so say the politicians. What about schools? The schools are generally speaking decent, the future of wich is somewhat dependant on the elections later this year. But generally speaking you only have to pay for Chalmers or Uppsala types of education, if you want to be a professor/engineer of something that is. Other than that we have free schooling that gives you work opportunities, i.e. electrician/mechanics and constructionworkers. As far as I remember atleast. Looking for Work in Sweden page. The unemployment-numbers are'nt up to date though since this was printed in 2007, but I think the beuracracy parts are up to date.

Killap's Restoration Project for Fallout 2. If I remember correctly, his patch fixes some inventory issues, lets you scroll with the mousewheel. There's a simple unofficial patch somewhere there aswell, but I've got a bad headache - and don't have the energy to find it for you right now.

Source. Interpret that as you wish. Don't remember how much input or say he has over Blizzard, but they're the same company.

If I remember correctly, Type II supernovae are from stars with ten times the mass of the sun, but I'm not certain.

I love these things, I've basically got bugger all clues to the machinations or maths, but I love it anyway. Thought that some supermassive stars that don't quite have the mass to produce a black hole produced neutron stars? ... in theory.

*Nods* While my character felt it was worth the risk to find a better solution. My main gripe with it, is that now I don't particularly feel any need to go any other way when doing the quest, since I don't have any real motivation to see what's on the 'other' side so to speak. Takes away the replay value.

Ruthless ****-tater any day of the week.

On a WoW related note; Today I've been clean for one whole year. \o/ GL and HF.

There might be some issues with the Registry not finding some files, if you want to be absolutely certain you should reinstall the game - but keep the downloaded patches and move them to the new directory. (So that you don't have to download the umpteen patches that's been released.)

You do know about the Mages Circle from the beginning of the game, or atleast directly after Ostagar. And no, that's not really metagaming if you're given the options to actually do so through ingame means. And I was expecting them to punish me in some way - but my character would much rather not kill anyone, being a little goody-twoshoes. Agreed, or rather that it had any determinable impact.

If you ask if there is no other way, I think someone - possibly Morrigan or the Bloodmage - informs you that it's possible that the mages circle can help. And at the same time dissapointing as hell, when you realised there was nothing to worry about.

One of the first things that you're told is that you need to search for Allies, including some of wich happens to be the mages in the Tower. I did'nt meta-game, I was hoping for them to actually have any sort of consequence for it that would give me that lovely feeling of regret. Wich I did'nt get ofcourse.

Very Hollywoody, very generic - but quality wise it's really well done. Just wish Activision was'nt involved.

It's not that difficult to reconcile them but you lose the help of one of the most powerful elven mages (in case you wanted to side with the elves) or of the werewolves (in case you wanted to side with them). So, maybe it's an easy choice from a 'moral' point of view, but from a practical standpoint it was well done (though, the fact that the role of your allies is really downplayed in the end, made this practical/moral contrast less pronounced and much less interesting). That's probably why I don't remember it in well, and now that you point it out it's decent, though if it had any real impact it'd be great. Now that I think about it, I need to reinstall the game and not patch it so that I can get the proper ending myself.

As far as I can remember they explode with a supernova, and then the core implodes - most probably leaving a black hole in it's place. Or was it that they implode and then explode? Hmm. I wonder if NGC 3603 going supernova is close enough to impact us here on earth, I know some people have spoken of Beetlegeuse going supernova will. But is 22.000 lightyears out of our "range" so to speak? 300 solar masses. Damn, that's big...

Orzammar was good, except the dungeon-crawling. But the Elves? I don't remember that much about it except it was really easy if you decided to move for reconciliation. And wanting my character to kill 'em all for playing around with me and wasting my time. I remember the sidequest with the artificer and his wife as more morally grey though.

Good to know that my memory did'nt fail me, Biowares take on consequences seems to be as clever as ever.

Know what, you're right. And therein lies the problem. What the gaming industry wants/needs is spare parts (a steady highly profitable revenue stream). What they have is optional extras (add-on sales that may or may not happen depending on the quality of the add-on and the economy/fanaticism of the buyer). They do need that, and they've tried to exploit it by episodic games or just plain MMO's, only MMO's has been successfull as far as I can determine. But I don't agree with for instance some of Koticks ideas, mostly due to him being an ass. When it comes to some games, I've felt that they've been underpriced due to their quality; I'd wanted to pay more for for instance The Witcher, and to a lesser extent Alpha Protocol. (Even due to the bugs, or in the previous case due to Enhanced Edition <- That was some awesome fanservice)

If I could, I'd get a steamfree version and mail the money. *Grumbles*
