Like the rest of the expansion content leave Durlag's tower for the end of the game. AS for ditching Khalid and Jaheira, go ahead and trade them for Dynaheir and Branwen. You shouldn't really need more than two warrior characters in your party.

The Speechcraft minigame was an atrocious idea, that automatically made dialogues and characters feel artificial and mechanic. And they were already too mechanic and artificial even without the minigame.

Captain America's greatest foe. Red Skull is his name.

It isn't just the "Kill Bill" bit. It's also the infinite ammo, not being able to pick up weapons or bodies, and the supposed ability to "River Tam" enemies.

I was thinking a bit about how they've described combat, and about that over the top, "Kill Bill",character artwork, and suddenly this is starting to sound like a Devil May Cry RPG with an option of stealth gameplay thrown in for good measure. Which would irritate a lot of the more hardcore RPGers, but could, to me, be totally awesome as it's just the kind of game I'd like to play. Also, in such a game, infinite ammo would be okay, of course. J.E. has said before that he'd like to make a game along these lines so maybe that's what AP is turning into. Now, with this in mind, I don't think the whole CIA agent, realism, Syriana angle would really work with such a game. This is the kind of game that I think would work better with a more lighthearted, humorous, and even satirical narrative, than with a standard action, conspiracy, taking-itself-very-seriously kind of storyline. The devs should really pop in and say something...

Very nice screenshots. I like the style. Is this screenshot a cutscene, or ingame action?

He does? Unless you're talking about Cate Archer, I don't think so.

I forgot one question. How will health be handled in AP?

It was the nastiest end possible for him. He lost his faith.

Ejiofor's character in Serenity was never despicable. He just did what he felt was the right thing to do at all times. What happened at the end of Serenity was that his beliefs were shattered. He didn't suddenly get a conscience.

Well, this article feels like a bit of a downer as far as the gameplay is concerned... All the talk about the simplified stealth and combat makes it sound like game world won't react a whole lot to the player's choices, and therefore that those choices generally won't have overarching consequences.I'd like the game's narrative to play out differently depending on how you get through the missions. Also, this tendency to take away the realism part of the game, seems really unfortunate. It makes that earlier Syriana quote seem a little pointless. On the up side, the dialog sounds mighty fine to me. As long as there isn't an actual timer on screen for the dialogue, that is. A few of questions for the devs: How linear will each specific mission be? Will each mission have different paths, different entry points, different exit points? Do the missions end when when you get to your objective, or do you then have to escape the facility you infiltrated? How is the dialogue integrated with the combat sections? Will there be options to bluff your way into buildings during missions, for example? Will there be non combat missions? A mission where you have to go into a casino, ingratiate yourself with the female croupier of your choice, and use her to get past the casino guards, for example.

Perhaps it would be best if you sent them to anyone who requested them.

So what happened to the scans?

Agreed.

I know that EA has that evil reputation to maintain, but isn't child labor a bit too much?

I enjoyed Death Proof a great deal, as well but, as Kor said, a lot of people didn't like it. It has one of the best car chases I've ever seen. It's just fantastic. Also, Zo

I'm pretty sure he isn't dead.

This storyline will only be worthy if she tells Jason to piss off after he resurrects her.

Well, if Microsoft stopped supporting XP, I wouldn't really notice. I only download OS updates when I actually need them.

As I haven't bought an actual whole computer in 6 or 7 years, and won't do so for the next few years, I guess I'm sticking with XP until Vista stops being supported by Microsoft, or something.

Ecko sucks, anyway. He lost a chess match to Hurley, of all people.

Hum.... The question is, should I buy a copy and not install it so I can use the pirated copy legally. I'll probably wait and see if BioWare releases a DRM-light version, although that will mean no Mass Effect until then. well, you can register a bought game, and use a ...'bugger free' version of the game, that way you should be able to use it just like the other game (if it is not changing the checksum ofc) There's an heterosexual version of Mass Effect? >_

My question is why would anyone even try Vista. XP never ever crashes for me, is quite fast and runs every single Windows application out there. I have nothing against Vista, however there's nothing I want about Vista either.

I'd trust an actual slug's taste in food before I'd trust an American's taste in food.
