I'm pretty sure there was an open-source one that was even more hardcore. Don't remember the name, though.

It's like playing an MMO by your self. Unless you really want to play with other people, in which case you'll have to drag them along into your instances.

Real men use the keyboard. You kids and your fancy force feedback and wheels.

You using the G15? All the cool kids have it.

Raiding is serious business. As is regular WoW play, apparently.

Obviously you are not a politician. Understanding doesn't get you any votes. EDIT: Higher math does suck.

How is it like BioShock? Just the art direction? I totally missed that. I'll throw my proverbial hat into the proverbial question circle. How is Batman like Bioshock?

Cool story, bro. In other news: why?

People don't hate EVE, it just has a (somewhat justifiable) reputation of being complicated and requiring a lot of time to get anywhere, which is also pretty true. WoW is the bang bang MMO while EVE is the one you play forever and eventually get to be someone. You have to put more in to get more out of it. Thought I remember you mentioing Eve sometimes before. Surprised I found a game you haven't played. I have played the free trial a few times. I don't really do MMOs. Also, sometimes I tend to comment on games that I haven't played. For example, Shadow of the Colossus.

The quality of video games based on the system has nothing to do with the quality of the system itself, your reasoning is flawed. DnD 2e was a horrible mess of different systems, overcomplicated rules with a million exceptions and generally everything using it's own rules that made some stuff unusable and other things super powerful. Obviously incorporating that into a video game takes care of most of the craziness, but that doesn't make the PnP rules any better. 3.5 is far from perfect, but it's the best DnD system IMO. There are way better PnP systems, though. EDIT: Have you actually read/played the 2e DnD PnP?

Just because Lost is ending doesn't mean that your life has to end as well. There will be other shows, other opportunities... I still like it, but then again I don't rewatch stuff either.

Boom! You moderated him good.

No it is not. Are you seriously suggesting that DnD 2e ruleset is better than 3.5e? We're talking about PnP here, not cRPGs BTW.

I tend to get bored eventually. Also, I like new experiences.

So apparently everyone is super-polarized over season 5 with lots of people hating it. Anyone here changed their mind on S5?

Never been, why?

Sorry, but I'm with Volo on this one. They took the worst aspect of NWN2 and made a game based on that.

How do you play the game with so much stuff on the screen? I can barely even see the game world. Is there a stripped-down combat HUD or something? Actually, he is using a TON of UI mods to make it look like that. Normally there's much less clutter. EVE has a much better integrated interface system.

I feel that the new 3D engine highlights all the problems that naturally come from making a turn-based PnP game into a video game. It's always been an abstraction, but IE hid it better and allowed the developers to make more stuff(encounters, areas, etc.) in less time. Obviously the 3.5 ed is better, but it was the less lenient system that gave the IE games it's fun and strategic combat. In NWN2 you can try to use tactics, but it's so much easier to just send a strong dude to pummel them all and maybe set the Warlock on auto-blasting mode. You don't need any of the cool spells, using them just takes longer. Another place the actions and strategy actually mattered was The Temple of Elemental Evil, but that was because they copied the PnP system as accurately as possible, most importantly, the turn-based aspect. So it's all JA2, all the time? MotB is the only one really worth playing, especially if you don't really like the DnD-based system.

Not even MotB? It's like the closest thing to PST in the last ~8 years.

Or Bethesda. Or anyone but Sega or Activision.

No man, weren't you following? That's sick and wrong

Yes, but MotB had an awesome story and a bit of exploration between the combat parts. If it's supposed to be the IWD of NWN series, it fails solely on the account that the camera and combat system kind of suck compared to the IE.

You really do need a place where to write down all your brilliant ideas. Try Livejournal or maybe Twitter if you want to reach a wider audience.
