I wonder if it's nostalgia, or just being a fan of genres that have practically disappeared. Of course you could argue that those are both the same thing, but to me it seems like there's a pretty important difference. I'd argue that it is largely the latter. The IE games are routinely criticized here, so there are some who don't see them with too much rose-tint. If you want a tactical RTwP fix, you're going to find your options limited to older titles.

Spill your blasphemous opinions on CRPGs here
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to IndiraLightfoot's topic in Computer and Console
I'll post it when I get off work, but I believe my confusion was from the "note: this weapon counts as a +5 weapon in terms of what it can hit" at the end of the description, which I think is from the BG2fixpack I have installed. If I'm not mistaken, it is because of that "+X, +Y always counts as a +Y" bit that seems to be included in the fixpack and IR doesn't use the +X, +Y labeling for that effect(instead using "Foe Bane" in the description). And that description you posted matches the entry in SK. -

Pretty much. Either they are made of class or have a bunch of conditions where their abilities won't work. -

Rogues are almost always implemented badly. BTW, just installed IR for BGT. The description in the G3 forums implies that Foebane won't hit as a +4 or 5, but the description viewed in SK says it will. Can someone clarify this? -
Hey Woldan, if you do that, pour lemon juice on the bodies and bury them in a remote location. Helps them decompose more rapidly. Today I'm going to be in classes until 430pm. Hopefully going out with a few friends tonight.

I'm going to agree with Volo here. -

I'll agree with that, and will argue that it is the best anti-mage weapon in the game, but I still find that it could be easily improved. As to NPCs, I think the "alignment corrections" component of the BG2fixpack does solve most of those issues, but I think having Carsomyr(and Purifier) gain the extra damage against all Evil targets would be optimal. -

Well it is a blasphemous opinion certainly. My problems with Carsomyr is that it (1)only gets a damage bonus against Chaotic Evil opponents when it should be getting it against all Evil foes, (2)isn't very utilitarian as most of it's abilities focus on spellcasters, and (3)like all two-handers, it is beat out by dual-wielding when not using GWW. -
Had a very long Saturday night. Drank a lot of vodka and woke up in a place I didn't recognize while Pulp Fiction was playing while a cat staring at me.
