Locations only really interest me if they're actually modelled after the actual real life places. Walking through, say, Stockholm's Gamla stan, in AP would be awesome.

My problem with older games isn't graphics or gameplay in itself, but rather, outdated, less responsive controls. I find it a pain in the ass to control your character in, say, Daggerfall, System Shock 1, or even Ultima 7. And these are actually fairly recent games by my standards.

Lionheart could have been so awesome... What a waste of an awesome setting.

I'm sorry, but a gun shooting unlimited kittens would be totally unrealistic. Where would Thorton keep the infinite kittens, for example? Ever thought of that? Didn't think so. Furthermore, Thorton would have to carry around infinite kitty litter boxes, and unlimited amounts of cat food. Also, unlimited kittens would take away from the fun and depth added by having to decide between wet food and dry food. Finally, all the used kitty litter would make it a bit harder to explain how Thorton is able to do stealth kills. The bottom line is that a gun that shoots kittens is only realistic and fun if there's a limited supply of kittens available to the player. This goes without saying. Even if I just said it.

As long as there's a level cap, and the levelling up is properly balanced, a classless system doesn't turn all characters into jacks-of-all-trades.

It's not a question of plausibility, it's a question of fun and things to do in the game. In NWN single player you are playing nerfed PnP DnD alone with yourself, and a retarded DM running the proceedings. What DnD computer RPGs have always done is to add the control of several characters to make up for the lack of actual role playing and socializing that makes pen and paper DnD fun. In this sense, NWN single player is like the worst of two worlds. Now, I imagine NWN is probably much better in multiplayer if you're playing with the right group of people, but I never actually tried, because at the time of NWN's release I was on dial up, and anyway, the right group of people wouldn't be caught dead playing NWN. Finally, as for the stuff that has come out in the past 2 years, first you can't expect people who hated the original experience to wait around for 5 years for new mods to come out, and second, for obvious reasons, I haven't bought NWN's expansions which puts newer mods out of the picture. Even NWN2 was hard to get into due to all the NWN1 vibes it gave me.

It's not just the OCs. The one controllable character only combat, really brings the whole experience down even if it's a mod. I rememebr trying out some of the more well regarded mods, and I really couldn't get past the stupid combat. Also, the mods sharing all the assets with the hated OC didn't help.

This makes about as much sense as asking for stat based combat in Halo. Obsidian will implement NINJA ROBOT CRATE KITTENS before they add full stat based combat in AP.

Jags is, quite clearly, THE MAN.

Mod mode: Stop talking about unexpected surprises, please.

:cries in a manly way:

You were supposed to say that you love me too.

You suck, Tale. Sorry. Even Oerwinde admits Suikoden 1 sucked.

I really have trouble understanding all the love for Suikoden II. It's only any good when compared to the first one. Howeever, the strategy battles are still crap, the atrocious writing still gets in the way of the plot exposition, the fighting system is shallow and too easy, and the huge number of characters jsut makes character development silly and pointless.

It's not a question of being uptight. It's just that including lesbian stuff in a game creates an increase in the number of units that are sold while gay sex does the exact opposite. Sex sells, especially lesbian sex.

Lesbianism always makes a game better. I mean, name one game that wasn't made better by the inclusion of lesbians. See? You can't.

As long as Gillian Anderson is in it, I'm seeing it.

How real will the "real" locations be? Are you able to recognize Rome as being the real world city of Rome, for example?

no. I saw that post coming from a mile away, by the way.

Vagrant Story (The best Squaresoft game of all time easily) Tactics Ogre Tales of Phantasia Tekken 3 Silent Hill Xenogears (the first CD. You can throw the other CDs in the bin, and read a faq for the rest of the story) Street Fighter Alpha Whatever Don't touch Suikoden with a 300 foot pole.

Yayness! I still haven't bought Sam & Max's second season, though.

Getting stats over 90 is a real chore. You should aim for 85-90.

I get the feeling horror games might not be for you. I love scary games, and I hate that tactic. There's shallow scary and deep scary.

Kotor combat is NWN combat with three characters to control instead of one.

Just saw The Dark Knight as well. It was freaking awesome. The acting was generally great, especially the brilliance from Ledger, Gyllenhaal was much better than Holmes, the plot was pretty tight despite it being a long-ass movie, the camera work was at times pure, liquid awesomeness and I was really absorbed by the movie from start to finish. , and Ledger's death really puts a damper on the next Batman movie. Best super hero movie ever, easily.
