Lol, I see it, I must have it If it's good enough for Burt Reynold's to be it's mayor, it's good enough to buy

He has a small, dedicated following. Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as fear (because as you mentioned, they scare you), surprise (who would have expected Cullen to have fanatic fans) and a near fanatical devotion to Cullen (though we may have to scratch the word "near") and nice templar uniforms. I don't know about ruthless efficiency though. Apparently Cullen is the Figwit of DA:O

Salvation's Reach... been meaning to get ahold of that.

Started watching Coppers which is ok. The atmosphere I like quite a bit. Really enjoyed the first few episodes of The Last Resort but was bored to death by the latest one.

Good to hear. The internet is full of SIE-haters. Though it seems to be the same group of people who are angry that Sis isn't a romance option... Must be an age thing. I think I am getting too old for the internet.

Couldn't get into any GTA after Vice City. Other than some annoying missions I really hated (flying a remote helicopter through a construction site for example) it was an amazing gaming experience. The 80s and Miami Vice thing it had going allowed for a very focused atmosphere that for me they just haven't managed to create since. If I can't have that I'll just go all crazy character customization and over the top grotesque sillyness and wait for Saints Row: Enter the Dominatrix

Now there is a game that deserved GOTY. And the soundtrack by nervous testpilot is fantastic as well.

Was it much worse than his pre-awakening posts? I left that forum when I realized I was about to add a dev to my ignore list

Anubite, you start sounding like Steven Heck Back to Dragon Age 2: I think what, from a point of game design, was a bad decission was taking over too many elements from Mass Effect. Especially the house with an npc to alert you to new messages. It was annoying but fit with the Normandy in ME2, but the butler dwarf... it gave me the impression of: "The powers that be told us to implement these ME2 features and so we did." Then again Mr. Gaider had been very vocal on the forum about taking some of the things that ME did different than Dragon Age and using them. I felt though that some of them made the game less Dragon Age 2 and more Mass Effect in a fantasy setting - and that did not work for me.

Let's put it this way: I am affraid that you are probably right in assuming that I probably am overreaching. But I do like using at least two "probablies" in that sentence and keeping that slight possibility out there. It's a million to one chance that I am right. But as everyone knows, million to one chances come true nine in ten times. Besides, its fun converting people to this theory. So far nobody has been able to completly discredit it

Yeah now you are laughing. In two days when the big revelation will have been completly spoiled for you...

Hope you enjoy it. Loved the game. Gives a lot of choices. And it sure isn't easy. Let us know how your game turns out. King Arthur 2 is good as well, though they streamlined a lot making it easy and turning it more theme-parky.

A cynic would say: "why did they need to give away free copies of ME2 with it?"

I really enjoyed the fae part of the story: the house of Ballads and the house of Sorrows story arcs that is. Everything to do with the Darkelves erm I mean Dorkalfar I found rather boring. Though it is my opinion that it is exactly because of a certain well known author that the world became so dull. He is known for writting about dark elves and most of what he did in KoA was ... write about dark elves. Totaly agree about the dispelling mini game and mentioned it in our Alpha Protocol discussion before. I am certain that from now on, whenever faced with a mini-game I will say "Could be worse - at least its not the dispelling from KoA"

I always found (and may very well be alone in this) that there is one final layer of ambiguity if I remember correctly: the meta-game. If you kill a main-quest npc resulting in the main quest becomming not-completable, the game shows you a message that "With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created." But threads and weaves seem to be more the thing of Mephala the Webspinner and not Azura. So it is my own interpretation, that the whole main quest is just a game of Mephala's who is pretending to be Azura sending people on epic quests

Question: did you kill Marburg?

What you say there, it comes dangerously close to a logical argument. I am not certain that is permitted by the usual gaming forum terms of service. Add to that the fact that your post is devoid of net-slang such as "lol". You may want to look into your posting habits before you are branded a pariah.

I'm amazed you guys are arguing about this

Yes, if you go talk to her there, you can romance her. Which of course does not stop you from romncing the other ladies as well (and you get a perk for romancing all of them ). I found the Museum decission to be really annoying. It is not an easy one to make and will make you feel bad either way. Myself I did gadget orientation last night and am planning to run Mina's weapon course tonight. Trying to get a perfect score in all evaluations. God am I not looking forward to Parker's bonus mission

I had such high hopes for the company behind this, but how would support work if the developers have gone bust? I still really want to play this game The Dead Khel DLC was great. The game itself is far better than a lot of people give it credit. Some of the side story arcs are very well written. The main quest isn't bad (I have seen far far worse that got a lot of praise from people ), though personally I was put off by one of the npcs forced on you. The game tries to not force you along too much, but the world, while never giving the impression of being too tiny with just the bare necessities like a Bioware RPG, doesn't give the vast open world feeling of a Bethesda game either. The main problem of the game is that once you have combat figured out, it is damn easy.

*takes note of names of people who know how to repair cars, so that if his ever breaks down, eh wont need a mechanic and can just get these forumites to do it*

Got a call from the office at 23:15 that a Press Release needs to urgently be translated if I wouldn't mind... So now its 1AM. Guess I did today what I did yesterday: translate the failure of the 2013 EU Budget conciliation committee...

Did the same with both of Morrowind's expansions... and Dagoth Ur in the main game. And everyone else for that matter. There were only two enemies that I did not one hit: a specific Hand of Almalexia named Salas Valor (3 hits) and a frost giant by the name of Karstaag in Bloodmoon (5 hits if I remember well). A Daedric Prince on his home plane should be a slight bit more powerful. I also one-shotted Hircine in Bloodmoon but he was just an aspect. Final boss of an expansion should be a challenge regardless of the lore. That's the whole point of a climatic battle.

Not true: it was just a matter of roleplaying. You can became head of both organizations (I know because that was my choice). Then you got the proper order of doing things. If you did some missions in some order, you could end up killing someone who's death blocked your progress... I think. Can't remember that well

No, a discussion requires all participants to be comfortable with the fact that other people will not share their opinion. It requires various views and arguments and counter arguments. If your reaction to the first opinion that does not fit yours is "GTFO", then what you are looking for is perhaps chit chat, but not a discussion.
