  1. Just picked up Ales Kot's Zero. Seems like a really good espionage series, the artist changes from issue to issue so the feel is somewhat fluid.
  2. I forgot what this thread was actually about and once again was expecting an Archer movie. Still disappointed.
  3. I must thank Obsidian as well for this as well, Sawyer's posts reveal glimpses of a very-well designed system and Avellone's writing is almost certainly stellar. I remember playing Never Winter Nights 2 in high school after I a bad breakup and it helped get me through it.
  4. Then your trip is wasted and you have my deepest sympathies.
  5. http://forums.obsidian.net/user/881-sylvius-the-mad/ I've always enjoyed his posts. Seems to be the rough equivalent of taking acid and listening to trees talk to you.
  6. If you're seriously going to argue that their were less options for any class in Baldur's Gate than in Punch-Out, then I have to question whether you've actually played Baldur's Gate. You can't jump out of the ring and wander around the wilderness in Punch-Out, can't ditch "canon" NPCs to take along random people you encounter in Punch-Out, and you certainly can't kill bystanders in Punch-Out. You can do all of those things as a Fighter in Baldur's gate. No. No. The only thing a Role-Playing Game must have is Role-Playing. There is no universal law that requires an advancement mechanic for a game if it allows role-playing. The definition of Role-Playing Game is a Game with Role-Playing. The only requisite feature a Role-Playing game must contain is Role-Playing. Neither "Game" nor "Role-Playing" have any requirements of an advancement system. Then the industry is wrong, just as the music industry is wrong to label hip-hop acts as "Rhythm and Blues".
  7. I'm imitating a combination of posters known as Sylvius the Mad and tony ingram while I download Saint's Row 4 from Steam. I'm allowed to have fun damnit!
  8. Excuse me while I jump out of roflcopter. That isn't role-playing anymore than spamming freeze attacks when controlling Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat is. That is playing the game by controlling a toon. Role-Playing does not require an advancement mechanic. Role-Playing Games do not require an adbancement mechanic, they require role-playing. If they required an advancement mechanic, they would be called "advancement mechanic game". Wrong. If the big words confuse you, use a dictionary. Wrong. Look up the definition Role-Playing, then come back when you have a rudimentary understanding of it. Diablo and Dungeon Siege are hack-and-slash action games, not Role-Playing games, so that isn't relevant. No, the player controls a toon on a screen. The player does not play a role.
  9. You are controlling Little Mac, not role-playing him. Controlling =/= Role-Playing. When someone pilots a drone aircraft, they aren't role-playing a plane, they're controlling a plane. *sigh* role-play·ing n. An instance or situation in which one deliberately acts out or assumes a particular character or role. You don't do that in Mario, you hit buttons so the figure on the monitor or screen hits things with a hammer or jumps. A ROLE-PLAYING GAME is only required to have ROLE-PLAYING, hence the name. They aren't called "Stat-managing with leveling up games".
  10. Leveling up doesn't make a game a Role-Playing Game. Career mode in NBA 2K13 is a Role-Playing Game. Because you Role-Play a character.
  11. Wrong. Punch-Out is about using a combination of jabs, body blows, and uppercuts to knock out a series of opponents, not about role-playing a character how the player sees fit. The only thing a Role-Playing Game must have is Role-Playing. Everything else is secondary.
  12. I always thought Role-Playing Games were about Role-Playing. I don't see how getting teh kewl abilities or teh XPS are required.
  13. Consider expansions included. 1. Neverwinter Nights 2 2. Planescape: Torment 3. Baldur's Gate 4. Baldur's Gate 2 5. Fire Emblem: Sealed Sword 6. Fallout New Vegas 7. Fallout 2 8. Morrowind 9. Final Fantasy V 10. KOTOR 2 I originally read this as "How I despise emotions", which I think is essential to being English. I've never understood that myself. Arcanum is a cluster**** of gamebreaking bugs and extreme unbalance, and is among the worst gaming expierences I've had. Not anymore.
  14. I take it that ESO is not worth it Hurlie?
  15. If you haven't had one of those moments playing PnP(complete with shouts of "let me do the math" to see of you can weasel out of it), then I pity you.
  16. I'm certainly certain that the danger of certainty is somewhat uncertain.
  17. I would love to see Taskmaster pop up somewhere. Could work as a rogue SHIELD agent. I don't know if this will work well, IMO Preacher would work better on a premium network so they could get away with more stuff.
  18. NAME: Poun Howund. ROLE: Sex Machine KEY ITEM: The Golden Codpiece of Thrusting Destruction: Charms any creature within 100 feet, unleashes bolts of pure sexy that deal extremely high piercing damage. APPEARANCE: Whatever he damn well feels like. FEEL: Induces a feeling of soreness.
  19. IMO hitting the level cap, hard or soft, should require doing a fair bit of optional stuff and a good portion of the main questline. Reaching the cap doing only main quest stuff should be impossible.
  20. As long as it doesn't become the next AoD, I'm good.
  21. I think there should be a golden platemail codpiece. It devastates foes with bolts of pure sexy.
  22. Oby manages to be even more of a lunatic outside off-topic. Shocking.
  23. I will now attempt to drink things while moving at various speeds.
