Oblivion
While Oblivion had great graphics, it had pretty awful art direction which made the game a bit ugly to me. Also, like Morrowind, it had big performance issues, even taking into account all the graphical bling.

PETITION: PLEASE CHANGE THE INFINITE AMMO DESIGN
Didn't they specifically mention that only certain, very powerful weapons would have limited ammo in AP? That's not the same as having a puny pistol with limited ammo.

PETITION: PLEASE CHANGE THE INFINITE AMMO DESIGN
There are plenty of game that use limited ammo to great gameplay effect. System Shock would be the best example, I guess, but also the first Rainbow Six games would be stupid and not half as fun with infinite ammo, and the same goes for Deus Ex, or even NOLF which had masses of ammo but not for all weapons. I guess that in AP at least the silenced handgun *must* have limited ammo.

Dutch Embassy bombed in Pakistan
THe problem wasn't not experiencing Renaissance or the Age of Enlightenment, but rather not experiencing Reformation, which eventually stripped away whatever political power Christianity had.

He's probably not an orthodox Jew, then. My point stands of course.

He is religiously Jewish?

Any graphic depiction of Muhammad is strictly in the Muslim religion. It's like the equivalent of forcing a Jew to eat pork. Only the reaction is extreme because the Muslims complaining are, well, extremists.

Iran to Execute Those Who Leave Islam
I'd like to point out that the difference between Iran and about any catholic country, for example, is that in Iran the religious leaders are also the political leaders. There simply isn't any separation between church and state in Iran. If the pope had the same political power as Iranian religious leaders, European laws towards homosexuality and apostasy, wouldn't be all that different from those in Iran.

Games you are looking forward to
Street Fighter IV. IT's kind of a 2.5D remake of the best fighting game ever, and it's coming to the PC. Faith No More

I'm locking this, to prevent any problems that may arise over the posting of magazine scans. The topic stays here as a reminder.

Baldur's Gate
Go to Firewine bridge if you want, although the ruins can be annoying. There are some good items on the bridge map itself.

Baldur's Gate
Well, there's Viconia, but she's evil. Also, I think there's a dwarven fighter/cleric in the Cloakwood mines. There's also Quayle and Tiax but you can only get them inside Baldur's Gate. Tiax is also evil.

Baldur's Gate
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.

Oblivion
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.

PETITION: PLEASE CHANGE THE INFINITE AMMO DESIGN
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.

PETITION: PLEASE CHANGE THE INFINITE AMMO DESIGN
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...

New Screenshots :)
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.
