One would assume they'd take advantage of their in house engine, whatever gripes people may have had with the latest Dungeon Siege iteration, the engine performed admirably. As for rule systems, personally i'd prefer a classless mechanism somewhat like unto Fallout but with a much more restrictive level cap. Something that necessitates the creation of either a jack of all trades or a master of a select few.

The Radiant Youth
Nonek replied to C2B's topic in Dungeon Siege III: Odo's Scribbles - Stories (Spoiler Warning!)
I was always surprised by how willing I was to do the radiant youths bidding, usually i'm somewhat of an obstroperous fellow when it comes to otherwordly authority figures. But the only time I questioned the youths judgement was with the Gent against Wulf, I believed the old legionnaire deserved a little forgiveness just like Jayne. It seemed I was dabbling too much in the sewers of political maneuvering there. Hard choice, which is probably the highest praise available. -
I'm in hearty agreement Sir Worst. We've seen in Arcanum what wonders Mr Cain can craft when his imagination is given free reign, an original creative collaboration between himself and Messr's Sawyer and Avellone has the possibility to shame Sheherazade in terms of its enrapturement. I am frugally putting to one side my coppers to support such a project.

May Eostre bring you all new dawnings and the joy of youth, Ferthu Hal.

Chaps at Sigint are going to be trawling through a veritable bounty of pornography, should this come to pass.

Come noble developers, let your dreams be given form and we shall gift them with wings that they might fly free and bear us all to the realms of infinite adventure.

Having a few sherbet's with my old mucker Boris last night, and the ire with which he vented his spleen on the game was quite something, it only ended when I eventually went cross eyed and shouted at him that I didn't care. For the sake of my poor old shell likes, I too am hoping that they'll attend to the endings in some manner. Maybe a musical number and some racy burlesque with Miranda, Ashley and the squid heads, all ****, teeth and tiara's.

One is sometimes overtaken by the black dog, at such moments of introspection i simply have to tell myself that at least i'm not french. Recently been tucking into some fine Fallow deer venison, superior to Roe or Red in my opinion.

Ha, bloody mary sunday. Good one.

Come on everybody, let's join hands and sing that traditional celtic refrain: "All englishmen are bastards." So long as they're just glorifying their past terrorism, rather than perpetrating new atrocities on english soil, i'm fine with it. Of course i'm not on patrol on the falls road, worrying that the half house bricks thrown at me might be swapped for a hi frag at any moment. Then again i've never met an alcoholic beverage that I didn't get on with splendidly.

So gentle gamers all, in your discerning opinion, is it worth playing through ME2 again to get an import into this game or should I just be happy with Shep dying on the suicide mission. If answered in the affirmitive is it: BUY IT NOW YOU BENIGHTED FOOL, or wait for the inevitable release on steam and subsequent sale.

Hmmm maybe so, always good to keep a government on its toes and wary but i'd prefer that be done through a free press (not wealthy individuals mouthpieces) and transparency in all things. Rather than possibly personally biased and unaccountable individuals, whom the establishment can dismiss and demonise all too easily.
-
I enjoyed it immensely, rather Chaucerish romp. 1. Probably be as buggy as hell on first release, however they're very good with support. 2. You have a profound effect on the world around you, eye of the storm and all that hokum. 3. Combat's basically arkham asylum with swords once you're good at it but with a touch more emphasis on preparation and winning before you've started.

Erm, are they the little men sticking it to the system? Educated, wealthy enough to afford good hardware and with enough free time on their hands to practise and perpetrate their anarchy. Viewed objectively, one could see them as the true beneficiaries of the sytems they supposedly oppose. Free of oversight or responsibility, the fat men riding the big white elephant.

Me physician prescribed me laudanum for a touch of the cough i've been suffering from, one is beginning to suspect he may be a little past the mandatory retirement age. I've got to recommend the stuff, however i'm beginning to develop an unhealthy affection for frilly shirts and weird poetry about doomed dutch seamen.

You're just not seeing the real story, he wants to go back to the cold war therefore the little gollums built a flaming time machine. It's the plot of many bad video games brought to fruition, now we just need for Putin to build himself a mech suit suitable for an end game boss and an improbably named hero: I vote for Ozymandias Gunn. Hail to the king of kings baby. Well i'll be a son of a Gunn. Talk to the Gun, 'cause the Gunn aint listening. Good, bad - i'm the man with the Gunn. This dreck writes itself.

The sounds of the ghost people scared the bejesus out of me, on more than one ocassion.

Is it just me or do the little stories in the wasteland carry much more emotional punch than the main plot? Maybe it's just because of the overall scope, like a huge bloody novel as opposed to a tight focused short story, but the tragedies of the vaults and the dlc's are so much more immediate to me. I honestly had a lump in my throat when I left the Sierra Madre and finally unearthed the whole sick story of Vault 11. Might be just because i've delayed the main plot for so long, haven't even settled up with Benny yet. I was also damn surprised by how effective Christines communication was in Dead Money, to the point where I was a little disappointed when I found her speaking again, it seemed to diminish her character.

Sheer bloody favoritism! I have to pay good money to get that done to me at the local knocking shop, he gets it free from the americans because his daddies in oil.

You wont play the last part of the trilogy due to RP reasons? Also can't be bothered creating another sandbox for Origins to run in like Steam.

For me the Mass Effect games were rip roaring adventures, somewhat like H. Rider Haggard translated into a rather larger theatre. Lost civilisations, exotic foreigners, the thrill of combat, alien vistas and a touch of camaraderie with Wrex and Garrus. I won't be indulging in the third as my Shepard died on the suicide mission, I wouldn't say it's important or innovative but it was an eminently satisfying diversion. A good game.

Logical, still think they'd be able to jury rig their own technology however. If only because they were present during its creation.
-
So since it's proven by Sovereign that the reapers can override their own technology, the question has to be asked: Why didn't one of the invasion fleet stop over at Charon when entering the Sol system and flick the off switch?
-
Erm, why are the reapers letting people use their relays? Why not just shut them down until the reaping.

Is this game worth getting?
Nonek replied to Brayko's topic in Dungeon Siege III: General Discussion
Damn good game, tight, bug free, enjoyable responsive combat with an excellent story and characters. The beginning is a little dry but once past that the somewhat linear plot really does begin to drag you into the conflict. I'd recommend it wholeheartedly, the player characters available are well defined and distinctive as well; both in terms of abilities and personality.
