Atreides

We'll just have to hope this ain't a usual game.

About 4 years ago Chelsea was an upper-mid table London club that were on the brink of bankruptcy. A Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich bought over the club and spent a lot (like a LOT LOT) of cash on signing new players (and paying their high salaries), upgrading their training ground and academy etc. So Chelsea's won the Premiership (league) twice in a row (going for third this season) and generally been the team to beat. Fans of other teams are obviously unhappy, especially the ones that used to be the best teams around, ie Manchester United and Arsenal. Chelsea has built success by taking spending on signing some of the best players in the world to new extremes and supporters of other teams resent that. The biggest clubs have been signing good players to maintain success and their position over other teams for many years, but not to Chelsea's extreme so people think that this time it's different from back then. On the field, Chelsea has built a reputation of consistancy. Even when they're not at their best they can grind out results and that's what seperates them from their competitors. They may not win pretty but they win almost all the time. An issue people have is that with all the good players Chelsea should be palying better football than they usually do. Another thing is players that would easily make the first team of any other club are spending a lot of time on the substitute's bench. Lately Chelsea has been viewed as a kind of young talent predator, signing good young players from around the world from their original clubs. Lately Leeds has reported Chelsea for illegally (according to Leeds) tempting some of their youngsters to London. In summary, Chelsea's ruffled many feathers on their way up. The people that complain the most are the ex-winners that have found it very difficult to keep up with Chelsea so far.

Yay! Chelsea are sucking at the moment.

There better be a dungeon with lots of leather.

MU's doing pretty well. My friend was saying they've sold 65k season tickets out of their 75k stadium capacity.

CRPGs need flying ponies that players can ride before they can be perfect.

Some high lvl roleplaying political manipulation with guild, leagues and stuff like that. Maybe with some dynamic economic model. Oh yeah I want to research and be able to cast Atreides' Probing Tentacles.

I want to research Atreides' Probing Tentacles spell in my arcane tower stronghold.

I checked out the NWN2 preview and they had lots of nice things to say. The girl in armour looked great.

How difficult's the game?

At least there won't be any subjectivity if ppl start bitching about how the cloth map wasn't as big as the devs said it would be.

Summary?

In before DIVISION BY ZERO.

If the dude has legitimate issues with how NWN2 looks lets not trivialize that.

The closeups will mainly be an issue for dialogue situations KOTOR2/movie style. Btw did we get closeup headshots in BG1?

I'll wait for what the devs think about this.

Wouldn't the game rating be more of a concern for you?

Cloth maps. Serious stuff.

I didn't know the internet had a Faerun domain.

The LG, TN and CE allignment boxes would be pretty sweet. Something like the Warcraft 3 boxes. It might encourage ppl to splash the cash over the old regular Evil Eye.

Lol, snowboarding on the kid's head is still hard to beat. If it's possible post your wacky screenshots ppl.

In before MTG pnp.

By that time people'll be trading in their 360s for 720s.

Why don't you trade in your old XBox for a discount on the 360?

Damn, those glasses are hot! The interactivity looks quite phenomenal. I'm glad they decided to work on a small area but make it great.
