Hmm. Never paid much attention to lasers after the start of the game. I know the standard can get the scope, but I haven't really checked if gun runners arsenal adds anything with more punch. Or did you mean energy cells with more punch?

Carmageddon Max Pack pack was finally released on GoG He came, he saw, he bought... (waiting for the download since I bought a few other games too).

Fatman: Check Missile Launcher: Check Pew Pew: Check I've got a selection of plasma rifles, but never really worked out which ones performed better (my character focuses on energy weapons).

Hah... we are sooo going to leave this thread open! : Edit to add: Any hints for somebody about to embark in Lonesome Road. Do I keep any of my gear, companions? Anything worth stocking up on before going there?

I still think the best music in an Obsidian produced (and shipped) game so far is Mark Griskeys scores for Kotor2. Seriously some of the best anywhere IMNSHO. Doesn't mean somebody else can't do better, but I will mentally compare their skills to that particular game.

Sounds like he didn't lean from previous sect leaders. If you take sex with your cultists for granted, you are heading for a slippery slope,

Maybe an elf on a leash? Fetch. Sit. Play dead. Good elf!

Yes... Joking aside, I wouldn't mind an animal companion. While I liked 'Dog' in DA:O (one of my favourites besides Sten and Zevran), I'm not really fond of canines in general. Give me a pet Kommodo Dragon or something exotic.

THQ seems to have a lot of faith in SP:TsoT

Support sewers and swamps in our games!

People have the strangest vices...

I think she goes under the name Jessica Edge now... People Finder Forum Profile [/google mode] [/scary internet stalker mode]

Some day I really need to sit down and play a campaign through from start to end At least I know what to put on her grave then. Birthdate unknown, died 2012, killed by an intrepid adventurer Started clearing out the severed hand. Probably one of my favourite "dungeons" of any game. It just oozes atmosphere.

Beaten to the punch. I was just about to quote your post on top of the previous page and ask if you still played War in the Pacific Still playing Icewind Dale. It's been so long ago that I actually forgot that Yxunomei (sp?) puts up a bit of a fight. Ah well, that's what reloads are for...

Yeah, Poverty, war, racism, hunger, deceit, treachery, and country music, the scourges of humanity

First and second one in particular In no particular order, subjects of my hatred: Enemies that spawn out of thin air (looking at you, %$#@! warehouses and orc caves in NWN2) Enemies that respawn in all the wrong places and time. Like just after exterminating everything in the hermetically sealed strong room, just to see it crawling with enemies a few seconds later. Minigames, lockpicking or otherwise. Ye Gods, I hate them. Cutscenes. Why?... Really, why??? Give me an intro and outro by all means, but not in the middle of something. Quick Time Events. Even worse than cutscenes. I hope there is a special Chinese hell where it's inventor is trapped for eternity, having to repeat a number of flashing icons. Level scaling. What's the point? We're all gonna die... Epic Peasants (related to level scaling and high level play). It sucks. Throne of Bhaal wasn't funny. It took the fun out of Mask of the Betrayer. It's epic boredom. Forced party members. If they are required for plot purposes, make the plot optional. I seriously hated that peasant girl I was stuck with in NWN2. Combat music that plays at twice the volume of the ambient music without it's own volume control. So much hate...

Something I suspect also adds to the number of gamers turning to piracy is the practice of regional price fixing. Especially noticeable when living down under. A game that costs $50 in the US typically costs between $80 and $100 down here, despite being delivered through the exact same digital distribution channel, so it's not even a question of shipping costs.

I see hey have Obsidian mugs. Why are those not for sale as merchandise???

I tried the Binary Domain demo on steam. It sucked (controls in particular). Uninstalled it. Cost me 30 minutes of my life.

My favourite underperforming movie is "Waterworld". I never understood why so many people hated it. Good over the top action and a bit of humour mixed in for good measure.

Where is the "I refused to vote" option? Played them all. Some more than others. Only completed BG1 twice. Some of them plenty of times over the last decade. Currently replaying IWD and an ongoing game of PS:T trying out the current version of the Unfinished Business mods for both.

Yeah, SAPO (or whatever they are called, I don't have that letter on my keyboard) will come and pick you up and leave no trace of you ever having existed for giving away national secrets.

Your party members may be different races. If you run out of food, do you draw lots who gets eaten first or do you pick the party member that tastes like chicken first or just the smallest and weakest one? What if some party members are nocturnal, would your party be "gimped" 50% of the time because one half is awake and the other half sleepwalking? I like it in single player games. It could end up being an awful lot of micromanagement though when trying to coordinate the appetites and sleep patterns of various races and species. So my position would be sitting on the fence with a decisive "it depends!" view

Thanks for the reminder. I keep forgetting that I want to try out those games of his

Well put. I put my money down for exactly that, not a forum consensus game. If it features romance, so be it. If it is just unrequited desire, so be it and if it's just a lighthearted flirt so be it. Oh, and if it's not there, I wouldn't bat an eyelid either
