It might not be as simple as that. There can be all kinds of contractual obstacles preventing current and former employees from touching the game after release. The silence after the release of the game was deafening and I would bet, that quite a few developers were itching to say a few things, but couldn't because they were tied hand and feet by their contracts. Unless there is some kind of time limit on such a contract (which is hard to imagine), they will not be able to touch the product in the future without the express consent of the owner (LA).

I can't really remember having seen an Alien flinch away from bullets and close infighting with them is usually 100% lethal in 0.2 seconds

The Jesus and Mary Chain - Here comes Alice Yeah, dusting off old cd's, starting at a random place, I grabbed a pile of J's...

Joan Jett - New Orleans

Europe was in the middle ages because of Christianity. I'd like to hear you explain this one. I think he meant "Dark Ages" not middle ages

I suppose they were as "real" to the old Norse as the Greek gods were to the ancient Greek. Which means, present just about everywhere with household shrines, church buildings, regular interpretations of signs and omens etc. Basically, if you died fighting, you went to paradise, where you could fight, wench and drink to your hearts content until ragnarok. Hel (or Helheim to be more correct) by comparison was a dull, grey and listless place. Whether a warrior culture creature a warrior pantheon or or a warrior pantheon created a warrior culture I don't know. But you had to spend as much time as possible with an axe in hand, cleaving skulls if you wanted a decent afterlife.

I can only speak for the religion of my ancestors (I am danish), but having rules for who goes to Valhalla and who goes to Hel qualifies as "prescriptive", doesn't it? Most people find the idea of going to a "good" place rather than a "bad" place in afterlife more pleasant.

It didn't help that they had to spend tiime on the E3 show either... precious days wasted making demos

Playing NWN2, just started chapter III Playing as a fighter/Neverwinter Nine knight (the latter to get some diplomacy skill points). A lot of things feels easier in this game as a pure fighter. The arena, the encounters with Light of Heaven, just about everything. Almost like playing the good old "Rogue" again. I want to complete this character to take into MotB.

I used to buy my games from **** Smith when I lived in Wellington. Is there an EB games in town???

Some easily digestible stuff... Graham McNeill - "Fulgrim" Mitchel Scanlon - "Descent of Angels" Looking forward to the next book in the series "Legion" All set in the Warhammer 40k universe

Not a lot of options where I live at the moment. "Where" is either EB or on-line and "How" is by credit card EB Games is the only pc game pusher within easy distance and I usually get the collectors or special editions where possible. A few games I've purchase on-line, but they make a total of 2 games. I wanted to buy Disciples II Gold Edition on-line, but I refused to pay the outrageous conversion rates and freight charges of Digital River. Steam is not an option as I don't like the concept of "Download to harddisk only" games and on-line activation is a big no-no for me. The only software that managed to force itself upon me with that "feature" was Windows XP I am currently considering Napoleons Ambition for EU III though, even though it is "Download Only". At least it looks like it can be archived on CD and reinstalled later at my own leasure.

Sad really. Drunk driving is one of those things I find quite despicable and the offenders often get too mild sentences (at least in Scandinavia the do).

There's a BG for XBox??? There was a Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance game for xbox and ps2. As far as I know, it had nothing to do with the Bhaal Spawn saga though. Edit: Yeah, what Deraldin just said

Thread trimmed a bit. I wonder if it has outlived it's usefulness?

But... but... if it doesn't take place at least partially on The Sword Coast, it will be NWN2 in name only! I would like to see more of Chult, that is, if it wasn't for all the Yuan-Ti. I sort of got enough of those in the Icewind Dales. Some Zhentil Keep intrigues? Kara-Tur? Some Celtic inspired adventures on the Moonshaes? Some underwater realm? All else failing, they could try to convince us that this takes place before Icewind Dale and that it was the sword of Gith that eventually got stuck in the chest of that big white dragon

You make it sound like my comparatively trivial and boring work today is something I should celebrate :sad:

Maybe she was able to "mask" her presence? Or maybe the writers just overlooked it I would guess the latter.

Blasphemy!

Sad but true. Same thing applies here

Man, Fallout 1&2 never looked that good. Who vonlunteers to do a remake?

See? It didn't hurt

She tells the exile he is not a jedi, because he was cast out by the order. She then tells him that she is the last jedi... Didn't the Exile get the idea about being the last jedi from Kreia? It really is too long since I played this game. Currently waiting for the TSLRP

I can't remember the exact conversation, but isn't it said something to that effect when the Exile talks to Atris the first time, that the Sith is hunting him because they think he is the last (implicit, nevermind if he really is the last or not) and Atris think them silly because the Exile is not a real jedi anymore, since parts of him are missing?
