I dont even use a mouse pad. Just a wireless optical mouse right on my desk surface.

How did you come to that conclusion with a statement like this right in the snippet Walshingham provided?

OK, heres my problem: The updater fails to work and gives me an error of "Internet is not connected or patch server is down". I know its not the former so it must be the latter. Trying to navigate directly to the download page provides a link to an FTP site that doesnt have jack on it, so I dont know whats up with that or how Im going to get the patch.

I wonder why some will update while others wont......

^Meh, thanks. Anyone else had a problem with the updater not working?

Can anyone provide me with a link to download the patch?

So, I went out last night to the local store and the had copies literally spilling off the shelf. Install went smooth and the game loads up without delay like Ive read some of you having. Due to wife aggro I only had time to whip through making a Paladin (*sigh* Im so predictable) and played a few minutes of the tutorial. Only thing there that was a little odd was an about 1 second delay between clicking on a place for my guy to walk to, and him executing the command.

Farted around a bit with the display setting and set everything I could to maximum. No slowdowns but then again Im still in the tutorial. The "Recommended Settings" button on the "Advanced" tab doesnt seem to do anything at all as when I pushed it, nothing changed anywhere I could see.

Arent Jack, Kate and Sawyer all in the same place just that they keep Jack below ground and Sawyer and Kate topside in the zoo cages?

And considering the escaped horse is on the same island as the bears, it stands to reason that Hydra station is on the original island. Of course we know thats not true as we've seen a scene of Benjamin showing Sawyer that they are on a different island.

Now, I never played the first and dont yet have the second but I dont understand this reasoning. So, not as crap as the 5 yo one = good?

Same here. One of the things I really liked about BGII was that you could get awesome gear but you have to fight pretty hard to get it (Firkraag for the Holy Avenger, the lich protecting the Staff of the Magi). Im getting more and more pumped for this game, maybe Ill wander over to the store after work and pick up a copy today.

Yeah, but "good" for them doesnt mean "good" inside?? Im not sure. Doesnt it seem the black smoke can manifest itself as anything you want? I mean, obviously it took the guise of his brother to lure him to that location and I believe it was probably the smoke monster back in season one when Jack saw his dead pappy walking around.

I think they are testing him to see if he will betray them. Heh, looked like it. Seem the monster shows you your inside. Locke saw a beautiful light while Eko saw a horrifying black cloud, Thats what I thought I heard too. Is it really break time already? Agreed, but the way they included her and the guy was just lazy. "What the hell, sure we'll tag along".

D'oh! Well, have mercy. My entire knowledge of 3/3.5 consists of almost finishing chaper one of IWDII. EDIT: Thanks to deganawida too!

With the ECL and split classes isnt that guy going to be a gimp?

Ok, so looking at page 38 of the manual, it states that the requirements for a Divine Champion are: HPpL: 10 BaB: 7 Feats: Weapon Focus That sounds pretty easy to have from the very beginning. Can I be a Divine Champion right at character creation?

^I appreciate you explaining things to me. Here is my question from the other thread: Can someone please explain to me prestige classes? So I was leafing through the manual and reading up on the available prestige classes and all it states is the minimum requirement to attain said class. The classes state you get this or that at X level and some of them are really low, like level 2-3. So, do you get to jump right into a prestige class as long as you meet the requirements regardless of level? What level do you need to be to start taking presige classes? How can you receive some prestige perk at level 2 or 3? Meaning, say you have to be level 10 to start a prestige class, does your level drop to level one of the prestige class? Me so confused.

Thanks jorian, I always forget stuff like that is in Wiki. Maybe they can answer my prestige class questions from the "impressions" thread too.

^No, I havent. Is it some bastardized version of a Githyanki?

Hmm, never heard of that race before. Anyone know of a link to a description or a picture?

Whatever you do, dont post that opinion in this thread or you'll get eaten alive for daring not to like it.

How bout them Cowboys!! *fires six shooters wildly into the air*

I think you answered you own (and mine) question. With the extra spell slots, skillpoints, feats, specialization and ability to have all the spells the wizard seems like a no brainer.

Per my usual work "business casual" attire Im wearing my red leather codpiece with silver studs and a bottle of baby oil.
