Agree, but only if they they implement a feature that allows players to turn the darkness in the game to a more heavy/realistic setting, where lights only glow the surrounding area. This would make adventuring in caves and dungeons way more scarier. Something like True Night from Ultima Online.

Forgot about that.

Some examples from Ultima Online.

You performed quite well, I must say. You're choosing me, knowingly, to be the inferior one... For this I want revenge. I will surpass this virtual figure of yours, I WILL DESTROY HIM!

Scary trilogy using the Nocturne engine. Blair Witch Project Trilogy. Let's see if I can find the witch of Blair and post an image of her.

BGII is unrelentingly oldschool. This includes the UI, game mechanics, and difficulty. You'll have to manage your ill-mannered ways if you pretend to revive this old classic. Did you even leave Candlekeep? If not, just explore the lands a little bit, and before long the game will start nudging you toward the main story arc. Patience is required to appreciate BG. On the upside, you actually get well-written characters and plot, compared to the drivel that infects Skyrim.

Does the sea call out to you? Does the pounding surf tease you from your dreams, filling your mind with visions of strange and distant islands? If so, then you may be looking to explore the seas — and in order to do that, you’ll need a ship. By charting a course on the World Map, either written by players or bought from npc mapmakers, one could easily travel the seas. After the course is set, hand your map to the tillerman to commence your journey. He may even decide to tell you a story or two during travel. During combat at sea, ships take damage. This could be repaired via somekind of context menu from the tillerman. You would actually need some cloths and wood to perform such repairs. We could possibly get some decent dlc's involving pirates, legendary sea monsters & several other bizarre encounters (Shipwreck survivors, Scrolls/Messages in Bottles, Floating Treasures...)

Master of Orion II

It seems the strategy game market is all into complex tech trees and insane amounts of learning. Master of Orion 3 has an AI for practically everything, which makes the game sort of unique. While games such as Hearts of Iron 3 have automation in them, they don't really invite you to go ahead and allow the AI to control those parts of the game because ceding control of anything read more in that game cedes control of the gameplay experience. Master of Orion 3 is much different. You control what you want to control (and you can micromanage basically everything), and you get as reward what effort you put into the game. For instance, I personally don't like tech trees, so I let the AI do that for me. I do all the scouting, do about 30% of the resource management, and do all of the combat. This provides me with a unique experience for myself that others might find less enjoyable. For others, they can let the AI control OTHER things, and have fun that way. For this reason, I call this a flexible strategy game.

Nah, we're gonna get something worse.

Yea sure, search the net for an easy solution, after all you bought the "Enhanced Edition". They left it out on purpose (Portraits Folder), so people can buy their crappy portraits.

MOO3 has been overwhelmingly panned as a total disaster...a complete slap in the face of the lineage and reputation forged by the first two titles in the series. However, these opinions are outdated, not entirely true and really only tell half the story. When MOO3 was released, it was fairly buggy and incomplete. Fans of the MOO series largely rushed to judgment, didn't give read more the new concepts a fair chance and simply declared MOO3 a total loss. Fast forward a few later and MOO3 has been patched and modded, largely by a cadre of devoted fans. A properly modded MOO3 is in my opinion one of the finest, most complete Space 4x games ever released in the history of gaming. I'm a very demanding strategy gamer and a patched and modded MOO3 has everything. All the finer details that bring a game to life. For those fans of the series that never gave MOO3 a shot due to all the negative feedback, this is your chance to share in the joy that this game has become...do not miss out!

You can only buy extra portraits (they are not worth it) and as a big **** you they have taken out the option of having your own portraits in the game. It is kind of insulting. The Black Pits, this new "adventure" is just a series of staged battles, always in the same environment, and after each battle you get sent to a store area to upgrade your gear and speak to the shopkeepers, rinse and repeat. In addition to story being totally absent the characters you meet and the dialog you can choose to exchange with them ranges from mildly annoying to Dragon Age 2-ian retarditude. Worst is the Arena Masters whose voice acting and dialog is just plain awful. Add to that ridiculously high xp and gold rewards after each battle and you'll have the classic modern rpg within the Baldur's Gate saga. Only one more complaint worth adding, Overhaul went ahead and took out the original cutscenes and added new "enhanced" cutscenes, in 2d. Unfortunately that may have been an oversight, they look very amateurish and stiff and feel uncomplete, and there are at least two lines missing in the opening cutscene and it lacks all drama and soul of the original 3d cutscene. Generally speaking, one must be an ardent mindless devotee to purchase such product. Seriously, **** this rip off.

What are you waiting for? http://www.uosecondage.com/

It was an early pre t2a osi feature that was later taken out. Some private serves such as UO Second Age have it implemented.

Why stop there? Why not take his loincloth? His man-panties? His fundoshi? Leave a naked corpse and pay someone to take his soiled undergarments. Better yet, harvest his (or her,) corpse or organs and sell them to schools of anatomy! Inventory: Fresh Human Cadaver (12) Health Potion (6) Iron Short Sword (3) Rotting Human Cadaver (34) Rotten Human Cadaver (47) Wooden Buckler (2) Carveable/Scissorable Body Parts were added in Ultima Online. Ahem, Derrick's body parts "a heart of Derrick" "a rib cage of Derrick" "2 leg bone of Derrick" "2 jerky of Derrick" "a entrails of Derrick" Body parts from chopping corpses would decay at a certain time. Body parts, including heads, arms, legs and torsos could be recovered from corpses. Bone parts, including skulls (3 types), pelvis, jaw bones, and piles of bones could also be recovered.

We cannot accept a mere supposition unsupported by any document. Armor was not viewed as exclusively "male" in that era, any more than a bullet-proof vest is exclusively "male". Another, more innocent, misconception is the notion that Joan of Arc was a "feminist", a label which is not only an anachronism but is also called into question by her own comments, which seem to indicate that she preferred sewing, weaving, and other "womanly duties"; and she boasted that she could rival any woman with a needle and spindle. When asked why she wasn't doing such "womanly duties" in late 1429 and early 1430, she merely replied (with her usual matter-of-factness) that there were an abundant number of other women who were already doing such tasks. These comments would not seem to reflect a "feminist philosophy" (a feminist would presumably call for an end to such roles for women rather than embracing them with such enthusiasm).

A sad ending might come to be a happy ending for some people, and vice versa.

Yes, ala Ultima Online. It's all about feeling good that not only did you take something away from someone else, but you took everything (and I mean EVERYTHING). Armours, Pants, Shirts... You know, leaving the npc half naked.

Galactic Civilizations II. At random times throughout the game, though commonly in colonizing new planets, the player is presented with ethical choices in the form of events where a wide-ranging decision needs to be made. Typically the good choice will cost the player something (either directly or indirectly). Conversely, the evil choice can bring benefits, albeit at the expense of other civilizations or the player's own population. A neutral choice is also presented as a compromise.

Sorry to go offtopic here, but I gotta ask a question (Especially to all those that feel that anything less than perfect is unacceptable). The voice from the narrator of The Challenge of Control from Master of Orion 3. Do you like it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpeBD86U8dk

They don't need to hire ANYONE at all. For God's sake, give me Microsoft's Sound Recorder and I'll create a bunch of wav files for the game. Make it believable and sincere, add some persistence and anyone will break into the voice over field. It simply takes desire and passion to voice a character.

We all wear masks, metaphorically speaking. We suppress the id, our darkest desires... and adopt a more socially acceptable image.

Yes, indeed. "La LPI explícitamente recoge en el artículo 31 el derecho a la copia privada, es decir, el derecho a hacer copias privadas sin permiso del autor siempre que no exista ánimo de lucro." This is from the Intellectual Property Law "LPI" from Spain. And yes, it DOES authorize the nonprofit private copy. Indeed. You're speaking about the States, while I'm speaking about Spain. Two distinct nations, one difference, one fact and one conclusion. "Piracy", as it is for spaniards (A legal procedure resuming in the exchange of personal data between two users), is becoming less "popular" nowadays. Most people don't even bother anymore downloading games. A clear historical example, when Spain's military might in Europe weakened, the Spanish were assaulted with less frequency by the Pirates. No such point in assaulting ships without valuable rewards. No Pshaw, have to disagree with you there. I'm not structured by the whole business model that drives everybody crazy. The computer platform can rot for all I care. Companies like 3d Realms or MicroProse went straight down the toilet! This alone, is far more illegal for our community than piracy itself.

Those who download from the net any form of art, are not commiting crime. They're not even tresspassing the intellectual property law. A particular user doesn't need to ask for the authors authorization to copy any musical or audiovisual work. If the user makes a copy, without being an object of business, it will remain into legal lines. It will be considered as "PRIVATE USE" (Uso Privado).
