Thanks guys, I'm sure that he'll be happy with the game. Will probably tell him to rent the Xbox version of KOTOR1 though.

I ordered KOTOR2 for my friend's birthday that's coming up in about two weeks or so. The shop didn't have KOTOR1 in stock so I opted for KOTOR2 instead, figuring that the Restoration Project will be dropping any day now (thanks Teams Gizka and Exile for your years of hard work BTW). I would've opted for the Xbox version (of either KOTOR1 or 2), but that's long OOP in my country and it's not kosher to give 2nd hand goods as gifts IMO. Anyway these are his specs:- Pentium 4 2.8GHz (dunno which architecture revision, there were so damn many for P4) 1GB Ram (probably DDR1, I didn't bother asking) Radeon 9200 128MB Everything seems to be well within recommended requirements. But I'm not sure about the video card, would that be enough? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I should've specified that I was asking about Fallout 1&2, not Tactics. So are the turned-based battles in FO1&2 nothing like JRPGs?

Roughly how do the turn-based battles work? Is it anything like in JRPGs? The repetitive turn-based combat (in addition to random-encounters), but most badly written and highly cliched stories are why I grew sick of drecks like the Final Fantasies (FF7 has like the worst story ever, hardly the gaming equivalent of Citizen Kane that deluded fanboys imagine it to be.).

Oh, thanks for letting me know. Maybe I should read the game manual? Thanks for making your point blunt to get into my thick head. Thanks, again I presumed that stats make a difference since it's a game based in the D&D universe. I've played NWN1, BG1 and KOTOR1 (Yeah I know, I should buy the sequels for those sometime. ). Yup, that's exactly my reasoning based on experiences with other games. Eg I'd play KOTOR1 as a Scout/Jedi Sentinel for a balanced character that's adept at combat and have the skills point that required to get the most of the game (eg have points in the repair skills to get AK47's lost abilities). Have a high STR/DEX/CON AND also a high CHR (+ the mind domination force power) to get the most out of the conversations. Thanks again for all the replies, they've been very helpful. I'll definitely restart the game with a high INT/WIS/CHR character.

What other classes have high wisdom and intelligence? Thieves, I'm not a big fan of playing that class either. Those are typically associated with high level magic users from judging from experiences with RPGs using similar rulesets.

That's disappointing, I'm not a big fan of playing as wizards in fantasy RPGs. Thanks again for all the replies.

Why those particular stats? Is being a high level magic user the best way to play the game? Cheers.

I'm strongly considering getting a copy of the Fallout Collection soon. Should I just ignore Tactics? Cheers.

Thanks for the replies fellas. I just sunk at least two hours into the mortuary at the start of the game, the plot seems pretty compelling. The gameplay feature where he gains abilities from recovered memories is very cool IMO. The game uses AD&D ruleset, correct? I'm not too familiar with it, I'm used to d20 from playing NWN and KOTOR. It's not too different, right? I remember trying to play Baldur's Gate 1 a few years ago (after being weening on NWN. I got stuck on an early dungeon and haven't returned to BG1 since.), but the negative stats confused me. A 1+ rated armour being stronger than a +2 (and higher) didn't seem very logical at all.

I just dug my copy of this (since my 360 packed up just on the day that I bought Mass Effect, ah well). I never got around to playing this. (As I did with many games that are regarded as classics. Actually I finished System Shock 2 for the first time yesterday; superb game, I expect that Bioshock will a huge disappoint when I get around to playing it. ) How many hours can I expect to get out PS:T? Thanks in advance.

Thanks .

I prefer Master dual wielding feat + long sabre + short sabre. Cuz you can equip twice as many sabre crystals, and suffer the minimum penalties (for using dual weapons). I don't give a stuff about whether it looks cool or not (which it does IMO), I'm after the optimum options (in my eyes) in creating an uber character.

Please Obsidian, include a an anamorphic 16:9 mode in KotOR2X. Many widescreen TVs when outputing in a progressive scan mode force the display into 16:9 ratio. KotOR1X didn't have anamorphic widescreen mode, thus HDTV people (myself included) had to put up with a stretched 4:3 image when playing in 480p. Thanks.
