Thanks for this, saved me the trouble of trying it out. Seems like it's pretty much the same as the first one as far as the camera and controls are concerned.

Finished playing Burial at Sea 2. I'm a little bummed out, these kind of endings always get to me. All in all it ties the story between Raputre and Infinite nicely. As for the gamplay, I went with the no kill runthrough and it was ok, nothing special but also nothing bad. Definitly worth giving it a go for those who like the Bioshock series.

By then it was to late, the damage was done and the people were informed too late. You could say that by that point it didn't matter what the press printed. When the truth was needed the media did nothing and parroted what it's government said.

The western media flat out lies, so I don't know what you are talking about. They lied in Iraq, they lied in Bosnia, they lied about Kosovo. There is no muddling of the water, there is just media printing what their government tells them.

Oh Russian media is not more trustworthy, it's pretty much equally trustworthy as the western media. That you think that western media reports the truth is oh so funny.

As far as I know and what I heard from the writers them selves, the wiki definition is pretty much spot on. Low Fantasy strives for realism and believability above all else, while High fantasy is more about being epic and grand. Though WoT has connection to the real world mentioned throughout the whole book, so it is speculated that the world we live in now is from an age that has happened long ago in the WoT world.

There you go Sheikh gritty and real, just like I said it.

So gutted about the WoT licenses, giving them to Red Eagle was such a waste.

To you it may be filler, to others it's development of the rest of the characters. I read Malazan: Book of the Fallen, it's great, one of my top reads, though it has it's own flaws, the biggest one being plot inconsistency.

Oh, I get what you are saying, there is a reason it is called low fantasy and yes it obviously has it's market, but it's just not for me. For me fantasy is getting to those grand moments, where there are epic fights, or unbelievable things happening, it makes the hair on my arms stand up. I just couldn't find any of that in ASoIaF. To be honest apart from Silmarilion(which is awesome) I found LotR to be ok. The kind of fantasy I like the most is in the vain of Wheel of Time. WoT was my first fantasy book and it was what hooked me to the genre. Since then I read many great books, but sadly ASoIaF just wasn't one of them(for me). And to steer back to the topic, I think it would be wrong to change genres in PoE as it was sold as the spiritual successor of the IE games.

ASoIaF bored the heck out of me, read book one, stopped reading it after the first third of book 2(same for the tv show). I am just not in to low Fantasy, I don't see the point of it. If I am going to read something that is real and gritty, I'll pick up a historical novel or something similar. There was an interview with G.R.M. in the Rolling Stones magazine, in which he described how he felt about Tolkien's works. Here is the quote: "Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it's not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn't ask the question: What was Aragorn's tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren't gone – they're in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?" Who cares about tax policies? Is that the point of the story, does it add anything to it? I personally like to read epic fantasy and I expect the story and characters to be fantastic. I do not go in to an epic fantasy or sf book and say "man this is totally not believable".

^ No one saw nothing, you hear!

Awesome channel.

Then I wish you luck, but man it's worth it. My Paladin/Fighter dual wielded the vanila and HoF Cera Sumat, it was the best thing ever.

There is a market for that too, I forgot what it's called though.

The vanilla one, or the HoF one?

Wow, 10 months! That is unbelievable for a game that large. While it may not be the best IE game overall, it is certainly my favorite. It was one of the first games I ever played as a kid (the first IE game) and while it took me a long time to finish, it inevitably sharpened my fangs for all the games to come. Comparably the BG series was a breeze to finish when I got to play it. I can only wish that the soundtrack, atmosphere and combat of PoE is anywhere near as good as that of IWD2.

The incognito pick. Get a better camera Nepenthe, we need cleaner picks if we are going to....ahem...enjoy them.

Well it is German.

Lol, I still remember when DA2 was going to come out (while I still visited BW forums) the fans were asking can you romance you sister/brother. The funny thing is that lot's of them were serious and were saying how it would add realism to the game. I'm cracking up as I'm writing this.

I have the logitech wave keyboard/mouse combo I got as a gift with my computer over 6 years ago and it still works great. Though I did have to put wd-40 in to the mouse left click sensor to get rid of the annoying double click(it seems that over the years it gums up and gets stuck and so it produces a double click when you only click once).

Not only that but the info window in IWD2 on classes and feats and abilities was great and comprehensive.
