Didnt BioWare promise to never, ever to release Jade Empire on the holy and most righteous PC ? ...anyway, Im not going to pay full price for a game that abous as long as HoTu

Anyway, is anyone else getting really fed up with Oblivion? AFter playing for some 70 hours, Im starting to see through all the gloss that made it fun to play in the beginning. Yes, the graphics are gorgeous but every friggin' NPC I meet is the same dead face with the same uninvolved voice acting. And naturally, every quest is the same too. Go to cave X, kill stuff, retrieve object/person/thingie

I have two sort of modes for GM'ing that usually go wrong I have a very detailed plot prepared = the players take an unexpected turn and I find myself throwing them in hours worth of random combat to get the time to think up with something decent but I fail and I need to end the session early to re-plan. I have a fairly plotless, non-linear, player-driven scenario prepared = the players sit on their asses and wait for the story to start. Its hard to be a GM Terribly sorry, Mr. Gromnir. Shant happen again!

Thats actually false. European kids could definently point out all major wordwide cities and countries and probably even the major landmarks of cities like NY or LA When I think about how much geography I was taught in school... its like I have a world map inprinted in my grey matter.

Iva talked to some Cellphone game devs and so on and I can say that its nothing Id EVER want to be involved in. Its like being transported back in time to 1981 except you have this tiny screen and no decent controllers.

I think so, yes.

It doesnt work so well. The battery will run out in like an hour, is hard to find somewhere to put your mouse(glidepads are hell for gaming) and most of them choke the CPU and GFX to save batteries when not plugged in, resulting in major slowdowns.

Handhelds stopped appealing to me when I grew out of the typical console games (like Mariocart or Fighting games) so I havent had anything like it since my Sega Gamegear. and the subject of handhelds, lets not orget the biggest flop of all time.. the Gizmondo They did construct the hardware and released it but then it turned out that the company was just a front for the mob, used to pull some serious big-money scams. Once they looked into company finances, they found that some 200million dollars had just mysteriously vanished "

It was a humungous flop from day one. Read about it and other historical flops right here: http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/features/it...istmas_Past.php History says: Handhelds = BAD.

The PSP? Thats game is going straight down the toilet.

Being an Obsidian VIP and all (huh huh huh) ID look bad if I didnt have it on pre-order " Also: OE consists of some very talented people and I dont think theyre capable of doing a really bad game.

I think he might mean the situation where schools, workplaces etc. make you remove piercings, cover tattoos, cut your hair, shave etc. And that is in way a violation of your personal rights and integrity.

We're just saying that if you wait until a game hits the "rubbish bin" It'll be too late for the dev since the publishers look only to the first couple of weeks to determine if a game is a hit or miss.

Should we interpret this outburst as a positive reaction, Mr. Hades? Now, they just need to make it turn-based and we're set "

What I found very funny was that Feargus sounds EXACTLY like every other person Ive heard giving a demo of a game or program I wonder if theres someone out there giving classes of how to walk an audience through a software demo?

I draw neat pictures that give other people anxiety and nausea

I dont know about you, but Id rather pay tax than die because I cant afford to pay for surgery, when my insurance company decides its more profitable to take it to court and wait until Im dead, than to actually pay up. "

Since the actual game mechanics is the only part of Aurora that remains, its a safe bet that the gameplay of NWN2 will be pretty much the same as in NWN1. From what Ive heard, theyre recycling animations and whatnot for it too. Well ok, the interface will be different, youll have control of the entire party, therell be tweaks and youll be able to stack up to three actions per party member when paused.

Boobies

Good: -Lighting -Exteriors -Foliage -pretty much everything.. Bad: -Textures on some interiors are too flat -The ogre model is too lowpoly for the normalmaps to work Yeah, the textures on the winebarrels looks like they came straight out of NWN1.

After running around casting "bound helmet" and "minor life detection" for 20min it just hit me that I could just bring down the console and increase my Int to a reasonable level instead.

Its probably just me thats being an idiot. Which magic guilds specialise in Conjuration and Mysticism?

The problem is that as I dont have conjuration or mysticism as class skills, I only have about 8-15 in them and you need a minimum of 25 for even the lowest spells from those schools
