worst websites.
I read the Drudge Report daily, that site is just basic blah as far as web design goes, and is noticable because it is a high traffic site.

What is necessary to become a game designer?
The best way to get hired is to get a private eye to fallow the CEO around, if you can't get dirt on him that way slip him the mickey and take photos of him in bed with a monkey. If that don't work marry his sister!

What kind of name is "project X"?
Well, delaware wasn't my first choice for a project name. missing Iraqi WMD's would have been better. "project mustard gas" has a nice ring to it.

Who's doing the talking?
Airyhead: Oh, Karzak, you must save neverwinter, even though you are but a first level newbie and the entire academy of seasoned heros was decimated by the enemy! 1. Worry not, for I am a true hero! The hordes of hades itself cannot sway my resolve or slow my hand as I smite down the evil whereever it may be! 2. OK, I guess it's the right thing to do, after all, I got this stone of recall, right? 3. Maybe, but let's talk money, I am a contractor after all. 4. Maybe, but lets see whats under that breastplate first! That's right, who's your daddy! 5. OK, because the plot demands it, but I would rather make a girlsuit from your skin and stick a moth in your mouth. 6. Of course, I will save neverwinter, and as I serve, so shall I be served, and served well when the time is mine! 7. Your joking, right? 8. You talkin to me? 9. Argh?

Exactly, that is what a NE mage might do, or a LE monk, as opposed to a CE barbarian. Of course my NE fighter might ask for a rewardmore along the "personal gratification" lines from airyhead.

well, you could make you NPCs strip to thier underwear in kotor for some reason. I mean, you had cloths in the game, but they didn't offer and armor or sell value. So why not just have them as the base outfit? It seems that they made an effort for you to be able to see the npcs pixels in most of their glory. You know I never tried stripping an NPC in KotOR. I did run around in my undies till I found my first armor though, and no-one even noticed!

Ideally, dialog choices should hinge on starting alignment, race, charisma and intellegence (and sex in some cases). The problem is it gets pretty complicated pretty quickly, so unless you have 5 years to develop it.... One of the things I liked about NWN was that they did do dialog for stupid PC's and in some cases for races, they just didn't do it well. And in HotU they seemed to drop the dumbed down dialog.

Good, because this isn't an attempt at spam, I am upset that in a day and time when I can go to the mall and see the thong, tatt's and belly button of every 15 year old hottie, game designers and publishers think that anything less than a burkha on the female sprites is sinful.

If you don't know the outfit, this is it: And I am totally serious, if it is good enough for the movies, it should be good enough for a video game.

OK, if X is KotOR2, I want to see something like princess leia in brass bikini like she wore when she was jabba's sex slave. After all, scantily clad women are a fantasy staple, and were sadley lacking in KotOR.

This is one of my pet peeves, why is asking to be paid always the evil option? In the multiple path choices, evil is always written poorly, the evil dialog choice could be exactly the same as the good one for the betrayer who plans to gain her trust but betray her in the end. Likewise a good PC might flat out refuse to ally with her for his own reasons. This is where the current attampts at pseudo non linear plot progression fail, in the dialog. If you include enough choices to cover smart evil and dumb good and greedy neutral etc..., you will have to include two extra CD's full of voice over audio.

actually, I think they just give you the warning anyways We are what we are, if my posting style and morals draws warnings, I will eventually be banned, mods don't have the power to change my nature. They do have the power to piss me off though

Yet can you deny that his voiceovers were done excellently? If you dont like his dialogue, could you recognise that his voiceovers *for* the, in your opinion, crappy, dialogue, were great? And if you dont even like the voice talent... pfeh, we just dont agree, do we. I realise that the acclaim for Irenicus and his voiceovers are of course opinionated, but how else can you judge voiceover talent? Let me speak without examples then - some voiceovers in games are downright excellent as judged by most. He might have been talented, I don't really know, because reading his dialog made me unwilling to listen to it. No matter how good the voice, it can't make a crappy character with abyssmal dialog bearable to me.

I look forward to the day when advances in genetic engineering will cause the gay situation to go away forever. Gay activists are quite annoying.

The truth on project X
Well, they need someone who has actually been in a few to do it right. They should hire me as a consultant. umm.... may i ask what type of women you visit? orcs? elves? dwarves? humans? No, sadly those are mere fantasy, I make due with columbian, chinese, that sort of thing.

I hated irenicus, a mad ex elf mage that invented a machine that sucks bhallyspawn souls? Please, he was a POS character and the best parts of BG2 were completely jon free.

The reason there is no call for the things that matter, like pointy hats for mages, is that everyone expects KotOR2, which is RPG lite and not worth putting pointy mage hats in.
