What was GOTO anyway ? Bao Dur's probe or the one you got stuck with after 'defeating' whatshisface.

I thought it was hilarious, but then maybe I didn't replay the game 30 times It wasen't exactly like he had much to say without probing and repairing anyway.

Why did you put HK 47 in the worst ever category ? Anyway I kinda consider Atton a failed Han Solo, just me maybe. Kreia worked fine as a character, it's just that she seemed to merge with the unlikely plot and become it herself. As a consequence her motivations were never really known. I suppose thats all very sith, but it didn't make for a strong characterisation.

I will have NWN2 on 3/11, yes thats 3/11 ,not 11/3 you crazy yanks. I wan't multiplayer functionality and full access to patches and whatnot. Haxor games don't have that.

Hi HK

My sister just started studying psychology, i'm really worried what she might come up with when she starts analysing the family.

Well, it's impossible to circumcise yourself, but I suppose if the women had any kind of choice in the matter the custum would eventually die out. The concept that bears comparison is that women who have been subjected to it themselves turn around and do it to the next generation, knowing full and well how painful and destructive it is. Wearing a veil is neither painful or destructive, but the pressure to conform means that we don't hear from those young muslim women who don't want to wear the weil but do it anyway. And yes, the practice is also a political manifiestation connected to Islamism. Which is fine if you are of that political persuation, but not if it means that it becomes defacto involountary.

I wonder if we should be so eager to perpetuate a cultural practice which views women as less than men. The women might very well want to wear the viel, but what one should consider is what their daughters would really wan't if they didn't have peer pressure to conform to the custum. Although there is no real comparision, take female genital mutilation, the practice is typically performed by women who have been subjected to it themselves. Just goes to show just how powerful these pressures can be if a woman is prepared to do something so abhorable to her own daughter just in order to conform.

"Yeah, but I won't shed a tear for its dismissal in the game for Deekin has made it in. And all is good in the world. " DUN DUN DUUUUN

" Except Terry Jones might have contributed more to society than just raising a child to adulthood. wink.gif" My dad wrote over 60 books, historical dramas and social satire mostly, I like Monty Python but I would hesitate on calling any of their movies 'contributions to society'

"So what's the point in having INT (for example) as a stat, if it has no bearing on the game?" It does, it determines max known spells, number of skills, modifies certain skills etc. In 2E there was no spell level requirements other than 12 in the required stat, but Clerics still got bonus spells, and mages more spells to chose from.

"Yes, just like PC gamers get all pissed off when a 'PC game' is also for a console ala KOTOR. Or, just wait. If DA or NWN2 are *ever* ported to a comnsole; just wtach the whining on these boards to commence." No they are just pissed that it was produced with consoles in mind. Consoles are the dumb blonde of game platforms. The levels are smaller, the interface has to be navigatable with a gamepad, generally less complexity, and so on. Now this is fine for Tekken and Wipeout and whatnot, but not so for CRPGs

So you are pissed off because people without an Xbox will be able to play this game...

Voice acting and characterisation are decidedly sub standard in OC. Most of the NPCs are annoying as hell, and half the time you just press on blindly in the dialouges, not listening, not caring, and checking your quest log for the details instead.

Because I dislike stat spread that the new point buy system generates for reasons I have already explained. The stats are supposed to reflect a character, not exclusively a character class.

We gotta get cracking on colonising the galaxy before that happens.

Actually my dad died of it. I can't muster the empathy to care about people I don't know in person who are going through what is after all a pretty everyday occurance.

I don't understand how going online could be an escape from everyday problems. I wish it could be Maybe with something more immersive like an MMOG, but just surfing ? doesen't seem like a very satisfying drug to me.

You gotta die of something.
