This may be old but I am not sure why more people aren't commenting on this impending MMO. It looks like it will offer a real D&D experience, also Perfect World is releasing the Foundry which will allow players to create there own modules and adventures in the game for other people. I am obviously missing something that explains the lackluster excitement from these forums?

I don't know but I also think there is air of superciliousness and entitlement coming from your opinion. It sounds like you are expecting PC products to automatically be better than Console products or you won't support them. You remind me of the French nobility before the revolution. I am not trying to insult you, I am just being honest.

Alan that has been my single biggest disappointment in gaming, the fact that Red Dead never made it to PC. What do you mean when you said its not financially viable for Rockstar to port the game to PC? At the moment I refuse to buy a console so my policy is I don't support any game unless its on the PC Whether or not it's actually true, that's part of the motivation. I don't know the full details as to why, but it's something I heard directly from someone that worked for Rockstar.. Sucks, but c'est la vie. Devs are free to do what they want, however. Edit: Seems like other people have some better explanations as to the why. Alan, I have an idea. You and I should boycott any future Rockstar games until they release RDR on PC. When Rockstar realizes that people like you and I are making a stand on principle they should move quickly to port RDR to PC. What do you think?

You want to ride a spear ? no he is just being silly, please ignore him

Nice pictures Op I agree with the above post but you should be able to defeat them. Whats the point if you can't beat them? well, near unbeatable. I heard in Skyrim you had dragons and they weren't even the fiercest beasts you could beat, they died quite quickly after a while. That's not what I think of when I think of dragons, when I think of dragons I think of (near) unbeatable doom machines you better not cross. With a mind like a cat. (similar to how Robin Hobb describes dragons) Makes sense, they should be very hard to defeat.

You mean....no point in murder-grinding.... which is a staple of modern RPGs and MMOs, and IMO needs to be toned down about 20 notches. its a stupid, mindless concept. There's a bajillion other ways to gain exp in a role-playing game, but most have been completely forgotten over the years, and the result? We've now got people like you who don't know what role-playing even is - that actually equate killing exclusively with EXP, to the point where they cannot conceive of other ways to gain levels. Play Planescape Torment sometime and you'll see how wonderful it is to get your exp from talking (for example) instead of just racking up kills. Oh, and there's a whole lot more to exploration than just going out and making things die. Not sure why you even brought up exploration, as the concept itself is virtually unrelated to combat. Lol, that's rich, son. I've been playing rpgs longer than you've been alive. Played in a place I doubt you've even heard of called Lake Geneva in the 70s. I know a thing or two about role playing. EXP for kills has been around since the beginning. Without it you have stupid story games, not rpgs. You mean you've been hanging around with Gygax, Arneson and the other first-generation RPG gamers? That would be cool. The (surprising to me) fact is indeed that D&D originally seems to have completely lacked what we nowadays believe to be good old-fashioned role-playing. The game was apparently all about fighting your way through huge dungeons and collecting tons of loot. No complex storylines, no elaborately developed characters, no deep in-character interactions with PCs and NPCs - just dungeon crawling and killing monsters and looting their treasure. Not the kind of game I'd like to play really, but knowing this helps not to take role-playing too serious now. Roleplaying RPG = Role Playing Game But Helm he is talking about RPG in the context of what the original D&D use to be, and I agree with him. I use to play D&D in the later 1980's and I remember it being more about the exploration, dungeon, monsters and the loot than the complex narrative and interaction between characters. Nowadays we have both in our RPG and I so consider them superior

You really believe that bolded part? Even a little?And what dumbing down? What do you know about the game that we don't? Yeah I'm also a little confused, what do you mean by "dumbing down"?

There is nothing wrong with a person acknowledging that PE isn't the type of game for them. We live in a world of free choice and you are entitled to financially support what you want. I would just move on to other forums where you may find a game more appropriate to your perspective of what constitutes an RPG. Have you considered the Dragon Age 3 forums?

Okay interesting, thanks for the update.

I firmly believe that there are times when international intervention is required and necessary in certain countries internal politics. Mali needed assistance and the French and there allies provided it. This is a good thing and shows that the world does care, well certain countries care.

Great idea! I tend to forget about that one - never did go to the prom/dances anything semi-formal in school or otherwise, for a date. I'll take you for a date, what time should I pick you up? I'm old fashioned and I believe in paying for everything, especially the first date.

rt Mmmmm, that doesn't sound right. I am convinced that Gorgon is a voluptuous , beautiful Danish brunette? Would you let us know if Gorgon is your date? Personally I find the whole thing romantic OBSIDIAN WAY OFF TOPIC HEADLINES "And true love founds its way when the two star crossed lovers were finally reunited.

"gorthfucius" , you funny

Thx guys, I appreciate the translation. So we'll wait and see

I hear you, can you maybe read that link I posted and then translate. I just want the summary of what that German website is saying?

Wow, thats interesting. I never played the original but I heard its a classic Here is a sceeenshot from this game http://www.pcgames.de/Das-schwarze-Auge-Die-Schicksalsklinge-PC-249135/News/Das-Schwarze-Auge-Schicksalsklinge-Neuauflage-der-Nordlandtrilogie-angekuendigt-1046051/

Yeah and no. In my experience beautiful women get hit on so much that with them, the ridiculous advice of "just be yourself" is actually sound. Most beautiful women could have whoever they want, so the best thing to do really is be relaxed and yourself and accept the fact that she will either choose you or somebody else; there is very little you can do. I know a lot more people who'll just approach amazing-looking women since the cost/benefit ratio is so good. Could be cultural differences, could be me knowing too many arrogant **** and economists. Raithe: one-upping your friends that way is a quick route into finding that you are no longer invited. I know I get left out a lot, and have to tone it down myself. Of course, cultural differences, again. Most women my age around here will get into a feminist tizzy over "old-fashioned manners", so helping a girl put her coat on is one of my key tests in whether I should spend more time with them. Sound advice my friend, you make some good points I had a few issues with ladies I met where my good manners were misconstrued as being patronizing and not appreciated. But I still prefer good manners.

And of course you lied and told them "this is how I always behave" I like the way you operate, I like the way you operate

That sounds interesting, a game about Vampires on the Eastern front in World War 2

Thats impressive, having the guts to do that and also actually getting it right is much harder to do than it sounds. You obviously come across as genuine and sincere. Nice one Its funny but I met someone at a club on Saturday, she is is a chef and we going for waffles tomorrow night.

My advice is take her somewhere where you feel comfortable but be realistic. For example don't take her to the theater if you don't like it because then you set a false expectation about what you really enjoy. I find a good restaurant where you can drink a little and get to know her always works

Spells make a huge difference in combat, remember that certain combat spells are not area of effect so there won't be a risk to harming party members. Finally if I am not mistaken you can disable the option where area of effect spells hurt your party.
