Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
I use BGT, which lets you play BG and BG2 as a continuous game. I find it nice to go through BG as a Cavalier, smiting everything I see with a greatsword. Perhaps I will try TuTu later.

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
It's a bizarre piece of necro-pricing that treats the game like an antique treasure. Which it is, but then again you can buy it for pennies elsewhere and mod the hell out of it. Well if you go to GOG you can pick up BG and BG2 for $19.98, then use the fixpack, unfinished business, that trilogy mod, several tweak mods, and the widescreen and likely get a similar experience(if slightly superior). Of course, there aren't sorcerer or monk kits and you can't fap to a twilight esquire romance, but I don't care about the former and can always go to a porn site when I want the latter. Or you could be in a Mac and the EEs are the only viable solution to having a stable game, but why the **** would you want to be on a Mac?

The bad things about Project Eternity...
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to SophosTheWise's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Ehh, DAO was pretty meh. Okay combat system, forgettable plot, generally poor encounter design, and a few good ideas that never really come to fruition. I find it passable with Combat Tweaks and a few mods to improve tactics, but the underlying problems still remain. I probably would have picked up a sequel if they had made a better combat system and included a better toolset. However, it did sell well, so BW logically should have tweaked the original formula and put out a similar sequel. Don't know why they didn't, and don't really care. SWTOR was a poor substitute to a KOTOR3 and ME went from meh to **** with ME2. On Topic: PE will likely have a few problems, but I think the combat system will be better designed than BW games, and the writing team assembled is fantastic, so I see little chance of PE being a cluster****. This is the appropriate response to all of Mor's posts.

No Defense scores or Skill check targets in Expert Mode please
Not very good with comprehension are you? Again, if you don't like obfuscation of stats, don't play Expert mode. If it is more fun for you to have numbers available, play the game normally, and use the settings to create the experience you find appealing. You don't need to be called an "Expert" to be able to enjoy the game.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to SophosTheWise's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Most of the old-gaurd that started Bioware when Black Isle was publishing their stuff is long gone ... so who knows? Every third Thursday they brawl in Oregon.

Save scumming
Past level 3 certainly. BG(and D&D 2, 3, and 3.5) can be very tactical at levels 3-15. However at low levels, it is luck that determines success, not player skill or character abilities. Take BG1 for example, a mage will have a max of 6 HP at level 1. Even with max DEX and a casting of armor, a critical hit with a ranged weapon will drop the mage. There is no way to defend against this, at all. Thieves fare slightly better, but still can easily be killed in the early part of the game. Clerics, Druids, Fighters, Paladins, and Rangers fare better, but can easily fall to a dire wolf or bear, like the one lurking around the very first map. All in all, the early levels of BG are punishing, and even good tactics will result in death by unlucky roll. Now imagine starting Chapter 2 of BG at level 3. dread wolves, bears, that transvestite ogre, and bandits still can decimate a party, BUT with proper tactics the party can survive most encounters, even if a critical hit is scored.

Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition
We all know that was your work Monte, as you are secretly David Gaider and Christine Sims. And ****, Pathfinder is better than current DnD. Someone really should make a cRPG with the ruleset.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
I hope they include something like that, especially if the one with the unattentive soldier is someone the fans are obsessed with, as it produce much lulz. Also, no DLC. Make it a fee EVERY time. BWAHAHAHAHA.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
Yes. They are making sex as realistic as possible. In all likleihood, it will usually involve one not being able to finish, one not being in the mood, and/or one wanting to do something "exotic" the other isn't down with. It will be EPIC.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
No spears, as that would interfere with the sex scenes. And Bio really wants to let their fans use those spears.

What I like about the portraits is that they look closer to actual portraits than what was featured in the BG series.
