In my experience, what is important is to do regular back-ups. Once a drive fails, the cost ratio to repair in respect to new does not rationalise the first. If you have data back-ups, just replace fwiiw.

Ten-96, though I appreciate your enthusiasm, I would request that Pyramids schemes and their ilk are not in harmony with the intent of the fora here. Do please feel free to do so in private fora, but this is not something with which I am comfortable here at Obsidian. With respect, Fionavar

It's always good when you do these things and have no idea what the results mean ... right Cant?

Not to paraphrase, but Cant's observations resonate for me in that in a closed media (by this I mean where much of the imagination is supplemented in a way opposed to a PnP experience) plot serves to either detract or enrich a cRPG. A good game, whether BG, System Shock or HL, is driven - in my experience - by choices that serve to advance plot. If balanced well enough, certain aspects of PnP can be gleefully sacrificed for the sake of game play. But that is my experience and why I continue to find the spectrum of titles such as BG, SS 2 and DX, quintessential balancing acts that have worked well in a medium that removes human interaction that one finds within an old die-based game that draws into the wee hours of the morn upon the Roost
