I've gotten a Mars bar on rare occasions, but I can't remember the names of 5 candies from top of my head Now, if you had asked for 5 favourite Cognacs...

Sure, this is VERY important...

Trust Pixie to take a single post out of the context of the other posts...

The best thing you could ever do. My parents bought a new computer with Vista and in my opinion it sucks. I'll stick with WinXP Pro. I don't know if it is an improvement over Vista or not, but Windows Vienna (current code name) is approx. two years away. I think that Vista is to the NT family what ME was to the 95 family, i.e. best forgotten

Bathory - One rode to Asa Bay

There is one thing I don't understand not being added... or rather I don't understand the reasoning for not adding it. It's the part with Atris wearing her black robes, which appears to be left out because it would be illogical for her to conveniently have sith robes lying around. Yet, in the same time and place she is hanging around in a room filled to the roof with sith holocrons. If her agents have raided enough places for sith artifacts, they might just coincidentally have brought some robes. heck, they could have used the robes as a sack to carry the holocrons in when aquiring them

... Of all the criticism, this most confounds me. I'm not trying to convince you to buy the game. I am hoping that you have some other reason than the one you state here to make the decision. He does have a point though. NWN2 was a long game with fun parts and less fun parts. Those sequences were (for me at least) the most unfun parts of the game, and if anything could be cut out of my game with a knife, those would be it. Not only tedious and boring, but also came across as "artificial". Not to mention they ruined part of the purpose of the tracking skill :sad: If I could just press a fast forward button in those areas (or if a modder could to a hack that made them skippable), I might be inclined to play NWN2 again

No idea. No surprise really. I can't even roleplay female characters in crpgs, ending up starting over as male again when I attempted it. I think I managed BG2 once and Kotor1&2 once each, pretending to be a female. My brain is way too simple.

That might just save me my precious time and the bandwidth of downloading the demo next Weekend

http://www.2-worlds.com/ Anybody seem more, heard something or better yet, played the demo? I discovered it by accident while looking for some history for world war two (you just have to love google sometimes). Looks interesting, but appearances can be deceiving. I would rather hear some first hand experiences.

Forget 2001... go find a copy of Dark Star instead

Yeah, forget about influence system and what have you. The critical path of the game is finding the contested object (the ball) and in true fed-ex style deliver it behind the line in the enemy goal!

A true artist is no more... He was the best - and always will be the best. His knowledge of beer is unsurpassable. His genius was to to be able to write simply and beautifully about beer.

Based on the quote alone, I definitely wouldn't trust that guy. beloved universe - beloved by who? The gamers who loved the universe or the people who are calculating the net worth of the universe in hard currency? faithful to the series legacy - based on what criteria? He uses way more words than necessary to basically say, "I liked the demo" without any substance as to why other people should like (or dislike for that matter) it. Now I may have to read the rest at the end of the link... :sad:

I remember my CS (Computer Science) years as beeing a mixture of a bit of class attending, some project work, lots of beer (Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Saturdays and Sundays were spent working on the project we neglected due to beer the other days). Listening to a lot of badly recorded Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Cult and B52's while consuming a lot a beer while working on the projects... and then the geeky stuff like running a Mud secretly without the sysadmin knowing it, hacking guest teachers printer accounts, getting suspended, arguing about what a real in the flesh girl would possible look like (5% of the students were female)... oh, and getting a lot of grey hair in your early twenties

There seems to be a curse in the world of game design... The third game in a franchise sucks :sad: Having very unfond memories of Tombraider III, Lords of Midnight III, Master of Orion III etc. Now off to grab the latest 1.13 downloads. JA2 the awesomest tactical combat game around. More like a tactical combat/rgg hybrid really.

I am one third the way through a game of the above. When not playing that, I am having a go at Master of Orion 2

From their project forum: [PR] - Possible Restoration [TBR - Member] - To Be Restored by Member Ebon Hawk [TBR - TA] Ratrin Vek on the Ebon Hawk - During the Red Eclipse invasion, the PC can sell Ratrin Vek into slavery. [TBR - JD] Visas and Handmaiden go at each other. In vishand in 003 the audio makes an obvious change to a "winded" sound for both Visas and the Handmaiden as if they have just exchanged blows. The dialog itself supports this theory. Dantooine [PR] Disciples Hidden Holocron - Disciple takes the Exile into a hidden, locked room in the Enclave and displays a holocron as well as recording of when the Exile left for the Mandalorian Wars, leaving a padawan without a master behind. Nar Shaddaa [TBR - Dash] The Zhug Brothers Chase - When the players go to rescue the Exile from Goto, the leader tells the others to follow the Ebon Hawk. Onderron [TBR - JD] The Sith Revelation - If the PC sides with Vaklu, the Sith will notice that the beasts no longer obey them. The Sith order Vaklus death for the betrayal. Once these are done, I'll start getting truly excited about the bug count. Until then, it is just a fun way of passing time

That people can get so exited about (literally) nothing Interesting idea from that Oja guy, the universe is a sheet of polystyrene. I wonder if we could take shortcuts, crossing the emptyness of the bubbles to get faster from one place to the next. Yes, send in the marines

Ros, what's this about Make Up... please tell me it involves a Kiss concert I am: Bring on the slave girls and the booze!

The French and Belgian stuff is more or less the stuff I care about. Writers and illustrators like Uderzo, Peyo (yes, smurfs), Franquin, Tardi, Herge, Gireaud, Goscinny, Jije, Van Hamme, Hermann, Tillieux, Walthery, Cauvin, Greg, Dany, Martin, Hubinon, Arleston, Bourgeon, Caza, Fournier, Jodorowsky etc. Honorable mention goes to Vicente Segrelles (Spain). I might have read the odd comic by others, but I can't really remember any from top of my head.

Gorth casts "Protection from Self" and puts on his "Straight Jacket +1 vs. logic" Ready to take on the world

So much for safety in numbers. Without numbers we are nothing We must seek strength in numbers! Reminds me of an encounter in the Buried Village under Ragpickers Square.

You should have asked if all male Rashemen berserkers have pet hamsters Nice read, now put the game on the street already (don't even think about mentioning the ch****mas sale word)

Was it a cameo or a coincidence that there is a "Ribsmasher" in NWN2?
