Gorgon

Only played femshep. Yeah... the ending was universally panned, with good reason. I get that the game is not supposed to be about a feel-good trip, but slapping you across the face by ignoring everything you have done so far for the sake of an "artistic vision" is a huge step back in this medium. This is also without getting into how nonsensical, quackish, and generally awful the writing that facilitates it all is. A collection of cool and touching moments, brought down overall by writer egomania. Certainly not the climactic finale it was set up to be. The MP was kind of addicting, though. You made the right choice the first time around, btw. Shoot the bugger in the face, then alt+F4. The ending was too structually perfect. Didn't think the whole organic vs synthetic warrented that much spelling out. It got tedious. Much better to have focused on your team menbers in the final mission like ME2. Making decisions, who lives and who dies. That kind of thing. Dream sequences with the kid were horribly annoying.

This baby just arrived. http://www.wacom.com/en/de/creative/cintiq-22-hd I was a bit worried about complaints about the quality of the surface coating on many wacom products and this one in particular. The anti glare goes produce a noticable shimmer, the effect is best described as the screen looking like it's a bit dusty. I'm happy to report that once I got going I didn't notice it at all. It's an awesome tool. I can drag the whole thing onto my couch, the cords are extra long.

Its a hedge against running out of mana. And also mana management. If I'm fighting single opponents I am just powerful enough to put them down without using spells.

Playing with an all caster party is becomming near impossible once I started going up against mages who could disable my casters and monsters with high resistances. I started putting points in mele for my two rune priests to compensate, they already had a lot of extra health, so I would have something when i ran out of mana. Probably too little too late.

It's kinda ugly for a PC title though. I suspect it was made with future tablet/smartphone ports in mind.

yes you do

How the heck do you not have anybody with some strength by level 4 or 5? There are spells that add strength, I'm guessing you must have a decent mage, go to the library and buy one. Why would I want strenght if I don't have any fighters. Points are better spent on mana/magic/desterity or even health. Gonna check to see if I have the rigth schools for the strenght spells.

Stuck in MM Legacy. Seems you need to break down a wall to get to the next level of the bandit stronghold which requires a minimum strength of 15-20. I don't have anyone with that in my party and I have no option to level either. I already killed every wolf and spider for miles around and they don't respawn. Don't feel like starting over. The square based grid leaves for plenty of situations where your ranged attacks are one tile removed from a straight line. Being 30 degrees to the left of your target means you can't shoot. Poorly thought out.

It's relevant if three bullets are aimed close to the black versus just one.

It doesn't improve accuracy of individual shots but increases the chance of scoring a hit. Probability math.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4e4QcbEZP8 Firing several shots practically simultaneously can improve accuracy if the successive shots comes before the recoil. That's the claim anyway.

The guy with the floodlights has a blog filled with masterfully sardonic emails I think, if that's the guy. Hilarious.

I dreamt Lenny Cravits and some girl was in a knife fight concerning the ownership of a Deutcher Rundfunk mixtape which was playing in the background on a small boombox shaped like a steam train (mostly upbeat electro I guess, but everyone thought it was the bees knees) , well actually it was scissors, but they were using them like knives and there was more yelling than actual stabbing. This was coming out of a steam bath, the girl was working at the ticket booth. You would find a place to sit among several different areas, no doors just increased heat and humidity (this is the steam bath) and there would be a natural history panorama kind of thing going on behind a glass pane so you would have something to observe while you were steaming. Both my bosses from work, the old job one and the new one were there and i was annoyed that they would just go right in and throw their clothes on the floor without bothering with showering. Unisex I guess, anyway it didn't seem to matter. All this was somehow a finale to a missing persons case we were working on (presumed dead, it was all very sinister and David Lynch) but the details elude me.

Didn't southpark do that already

Unfortunately your brain goes half asleep and you get really bad at making decisions, which is why you shouldn't be doing anything more demanding than walking around in the woods.

It's being sold as early access on STEAM actually.

I'm tempted to jump on the new Divinity, but paying more or less full price for a beta would set a bad precedent for me.

Dwarf multiclass or Mage specialist usually.

How loud is it ?

Pre combat buffing was a nuissance in the BG series, I have to agree. Now if you could custom script and chain 5 or 6 cleric spells it would work, that would be a tactical decision, but that's probably too elaborate. The BG series had scripting options, but they weren't extensive enough. The buffs were a major reason I never bothered with clerics. Too much clicking.

It did this several times with my X-com installation. That's like a good 20 gb when its installed. Everything is legit.

I'm just plain old, certainly not daunted by the prospect of having to play an EI style RPG.

You are all old and sad.

Maybe it needs to be connected when STEAM is installed.

I hate how it still wont accept anything other than the C drive for proper installations. It seems to work fine and then after a while it randomly reinstalls the whole game when you launch. As far as I can tell it doesn't download very much, but it takes a long time to do basically nothing.
