They did a remake? Heresy! I really did like the original

I downloaded the mods (fixes and unfinished stuff, not the tweak thing) and resumed an old saved game. Not sure if it works "retro-actively" though. No idea where the hooks for the new quests are either Still, it's been a long time since I enjoyed playing PS:T. Strolling through the catacombs looking for the source of the disturbance (for the Dustman, Norojch or whatever his name is), I took the time to admire the artwork and the attention to detail that must have gone into it. Right down to the death animations of the skeletons when they fall apart. There is something special about the almost gothic scifi atmosphere of the catacombs. Same thing goes for the dead/drowned nations. I am a sucker for that grungy stuff in PS:T

Awesome movie. I really should check out amazon and see if they have it

Wasn't the original estimate for NWN2:OC something like 20 hours?

Storm of Zehir

*TILT*... At least I know where to go looking when I start down the upgrade path.

There are quite a few very good 64bit *nixes around, you know? What's keeping you from using them, and if it's gaming and Microsoft programs, why not setting up a dual boot machine? /agree. Ubuntu is freaking incredible. You can do everything you could in Unix + X11, plus you have access to all the source code, plus Compiz will give you eye candy that shames Aero and Mac. I use it for pretty much everything except MS Office and games (for which I use XP). I did consider it for a while, but there is little of the stuff I use that comes in *nix flavours (a few of them come in Mac versions but that is about it). It is going to be used for both play and work.

I always took her because Hale and Cummings are a pretty awesome voice acting duo. Tigranes remind me of a thief who knows and acknowledges that stealing is wrong and still do it. Crap. I didn't know Naomi Hunter (and Emma Emmerich) was Dynaheir. Now I might have to start liking her. Edit: Double Crap, she's also Mazzy. The Halfling. I hate Halflings. She is also Bastila and Fall from Grace... she is a busy woman

While that's kind of true, it isn't that clear cut. There's a very large number of people in Portugal that are against the EU. EU wasn't the only reason, but it was a major contributor to my leaving Europe behind and going elsewhere (you know the old saying, if you hate it so much here, why don't you just leave?) (insatiable curiosity was the other reason) Grass is greener, hey? And was it greener here? 4 out of 5 trees in my garden died from the drought and water restrictions... Edit: To answer your question, yes. I feel more comfortable here than I did back in Europe.

...which is why I have kept postponing my hardware upgrade for a while now

Xan was an Elf, what did you expect? He should be hung to dry by his pointy ears He gets boring after a while, but for a short time, he was fun enough. An archetype taken to the extreme (like Tiax).

Depends on what you mean by "know about". If "heard of" qualifies, then yes. If not, then I join the club of those who never touched any of them. I've hated rts games as a rule of thumb ever since Dune 2

Hey, stay out of my brain That was exactly the series I was thinking of. These questions - and many others - will be answered in the next episode of "What you did today"

A universal truth It sounds so simple, but it can be so hard to do. It should be part of some "constitution" for making it in the IT industry

Nice to know if I ever want to play a game of File Copy Sometimes I really miss the "Good" old days of Unix and X11 >_ I am afraid that I might have to get Vista within a year. The next PC is going to be requiring x64, so not much point in trying to go out and buy an XP 64 bit, as Windows 7 will most likely be around before getting any decent value for money out of that investment.

I knew it! >_ Ok, that was a shameless manipulative out of context quoting stunt It's an answer. I can understand the reasoning. Not everybody might and I am sure a few hotheads will argue for the sake of arguing, but that doesn' change that it was considered and got relegated to "irrelevant" for what people are trying to accomplish with the game Hint: If we had more tidbits of info about the game, we could quarrel about other things than ammo

Isn't that why there is a bunch of belts/gauntlets of XYZ Giant Strength in the game? It just catches me by surprise. I'll always get a weapon or armor that she simply can't equip without the belt. I'll think "WTF, WHY CAN'T SHe... oh... yeah. d'oh" To be so repeatedly fooled is frustrating. Ok, I understand what you mean After playing the game the first few times, I realised that strength was a dump stat. Imoen can wait a while, my first earned money usually go to strength enhancing equipment (either for Aerie/Viconia or myself)

Isn't that why there is a bunch of belts/gauntlets of XYZ Giant Strength in the game? Give her a nice belt, the biggest, baddest armour, the shield that reflects missiles (can't remember it's name anymore), alternatively some +5 shield and either flail of ages or a mace of your choice. She makes a good frontline fighter and a good cleric (high wisdom). Edit: I can't remember if there are things she can use that improves her innate magic resistance, I should keep an eye out for that next time I play
