Umm... why would you use a sorcerer as tank?

Is it worth it having Aasimar and Drow as spell casters? Isn't the level penalty (especially for the drow) more a hindrance than whatever other benefits they may get.

It's been too long since I've played IWD2, I keep confusing options and abilities with NWN2 (having played a lot of SoZ recently)

*Sigh* They just don't make dungeons like that anymore Yeah, as hard as a tax return form and just as deadly by even the slightest misstep, A bit lacking in the sewer department, but at least there was plenty of dungeon to go around. Wasn't there a beholder somewhere along the way? I seem to remember suddenly going eye to eye with one in TotLM.

Having a bit of trouble staying focused on any one game at the moment... playing Painkiller Resurrection and a few point and click adventures. Bought a handful of indie games on a sale: Geneforge 5, Avernum V, World of Goo, Machinarium and The Path. The last one (The Path) looks particularly interesting. Might give them a try over the next few weeks.

Trials of the Luremaster An expansion to the expansion so to speak. Heart of Winter was a good expansion pack, but a lot of people complained about it being rather short, so Black Isle released more content for it free of charge

Hmm. Couldn't find a facial structure that matched, no stubble mixed with a small moustache and the eyecolour is all wrong (sort of a washed out greyish green)... Ah well, it was worth a try. Very similar to the Mii profiles on the Wii

I understand the metaphor, it's just that your comment doesn't really make sense in the context. But I don't really have the time (or, in your particular case the inclination) to educate you on the finer details of WWII in the Nordic countries. Let's just say that there was very little choice involved. I think he is trying to say it's your own fault for not surrendering unconditionally to the commies, because that is what a good american like himself would have done?

I tried to install the game on my PC. It adamantly refused to as much as start up Guess I'll have to install it on my ancient mono-core PC

I think Llyranor is insulted that you didn't want to fork out the 200 gold coins to resurrect his 4hp worth of wizard...

How did it influence it exactly? No, not a trick question. Just wondering since "Western Civilisation" was there for a few thousand years before the Bible came knocking so to speak (it has only been around for a measly millennia in large parts of Europe). I could have sworn that Greek and Roman culture was what shaped it.

In SoA, the only weapons better than +3 are Carsomyr +5, Warblade +4, Cutthroat +4 & one of Drizzt's scimitars. Irenicus summons two baalors & two glabrezu in the end fight, but I don't remember if a +4 was required to hurt them (I think a +4 was only needed to hurt demogorgon & mariliths in ToB). In Watcher's keep there's several +4 weapons, though... like staff of the ram & spectral blade that Jaheira can use. What happened to just turning into the slayer and rip him apart? Works wonders against Kangaxx too

Those are just the Commandments. A country run by the Christian bible would be hard to distinguish from a Taliban run Afghanistan. I.e. authoritarian clergy in a patriarchal society.

No, I should get Xan's voice! It's a party full of chosen ones, how could it possibly fail??? In the unlikely event it does, then it better be a very epic and cinematic fail!

No denial of two new projects

Godwin strikes back...

It's his own fault for relying on a star map scattered over four different planets... oh, wait

So, he lived to tell the tale... I could have told Tig that whacking a zombie on the head with a staff is no good. THere is a reason for why they always scavenge for "Brainsss..." *Gorth sits down and starts singing about gold* (bonus points to anyone geeky enough to get the last reference)

Is there a Bubble Bobble for Windows? The most fun and addictive co-op I remember from days past. Mindless and mindnumbing (especially the tune) but you just can't let it go when started.

Heh, i still have a shortcut to them on my web browser. Even downloaded it back when I heard all the "horror" stories about the vanilla game. I might want to re downloload it, as it might have been updated the last 12-24 months.

I've had this game for a couple of years now... never got around to try it. This is the moment!

Hmmm... what fits that description of games currently installed? Painkiller: Resurrection (first person shooter) Zombie Driver (racing game, ram and splatter as many zombie pedestrians as possible) Archon (violent chess) Easy to get into stuff, no mental preparation, just start up, kill a few half hours then abandon it without feeling any great sense of loss If all else fails, there is Spider Solitaire which usually comes with Windows.
