Happy Easter
Something like the first Sunday after the first fullmoon after spring equinox (I'm not kidding).

Too many patch whiners
He does have a point though, although it's exaggerated somewhat. There are a few people here and there, whose combination of hardware/driver/windows whatever doesn't agree with the old game engine. It's not so much that they want to voice a complaint, that their particular platform is having issues, but the attitude and general bad manner in which it is done. Too many people which doesn't get it, that this place is not their god given right to public humiliate themselves by pathetic whining, but a privilege provided by a company who in no way is obliged to as much as to listen to complaints. If people feel a need to complain in rather unconstructice ways, why not head over to L.A.s forums and tech support and complain. It is after all L.A. who did the testing and decided it fit for release, as well as doing the official tech support, since they own the game, everything included ? Damn, I really shouldn't try to cut down on the coffee...

Wierd Camera Bug on Planescape: Torment
I do seem to remember a bug, when trying to reenter the mortuary... There was a work around, but it's all from old memory now (never ran into it myself, just reciting what I read elsewhere)... There is a guy, Pox, which you can ask to give you lift into the mortuary, that should "circumvent" the naughty trigger. Of course, it only works if it's that particular bug you are running into. You might want to ask Pox for a ride.

Wierd Camera Bug on Planescape: Torment
Sadly no... Sadly, no So I've put PS:T on the shelves untill I find a solution or get a new computer/OS/whatever were the problem doesn't occur... Stupid technology... You might want to try Whitemithrandirs suggestion, I think you can dig platter up somewhere around here http://www.planescape-torment.org If you find a fix, I''m pretty sure Panda would appreciate you sharing the solution

Which was the greatest war ever?
Behold the wisdom of the Simpsons (which is surprisingly profound sometimes) :D No matter what the intention was, the result is going to be a "War of The Wor(l)ds" Edit: Just to be a good sport and on-topic, I'll say "Star Wars" although I can't change my vote anymore. Without "Star Wars", there would'n't have been any SW universe, nor the EU nor the Kotors and other games.

The amazing disappearing Iridonian
Kreia did say something about not being able to "read" the Iridonian or some such, and that it irritated her Sorry, not much help. I would really like to know what happened to my party in the immediate future too.

Which was the greatest war ever?
Voted "Other" There is nothing Great about wars. You can have the war involving most troops and material or the war of most significant consequences or the costliest in lives etc. but great ? Not really

What Obsidian Job Would You Want?
I'm sure that will make the beta testers sleep a lot easier now. Working in QA seems like Darwinism in it's truest form... test or die, test and die, etc.

Wierd Camera Bug on Planescape: Torment
Well, good luck then I'll just ask Pandaman anyway if he ever found a solution to his problem. Sounds like you guys ran into the same thing.

Wierd Camera Bug on Planescape: Torment
I've heard about this bug before http://www.winterwind-productions.com/foru...opic.php?t=2628 but we never discovered a cause or fix. The only thing I remember was that there at some point was issues with logitech drivers and I.E. games, but then, my memory may be faulty on the subject, never had the issue myself.

Never underestimate a Cannok
Heh, didn't notice that because he always shows up after I've emptied his box. This is usually the first DS I get on Telos when showing him the error of stopping an armed thief.

Never underestimate a Cannok
Actually, so did one of the inhabitants of one the apartments too on Telos... I almost dropped my lower jaw when a guy complained about me looting his apartment Can't really remember if there was a lot of looting innocent peoples stuff in Kotor2...

Comparing Intro Levels
I didn't vote, because polls like this are generally useless. I'll just make a quick note of what I liked and disliked about each. Taris: Was fun the first time through. It had sewers, 'nuff said, no self respecting crpg should be without sewers, I love sewers. The quests were pretty basic, but introduced you to a bit of background, the Sith and everything else with a big red sign that said PLOT THIS WAY -->. The downside to Taris was, after the first run through, you A) didn't care because you knew the planet would be nuked anyway and b) You wanted to avoid levelling up because of the stupid unvountary jedidom enforced upon you. Peragus: Pretty much the same as Taris, was interesting the first time through, because you could piece together a rather interesting story of what happened after your arrival. Suffers the same drawbacks as Taris too, the place gets nuked and it's just getting a few xp and some loot and off to start the "real" game. Telos, I would compare to Dantooine, and frankly, I liked dealing with Ithorians, Czerka, The Exchange, The TSF and others more than killing Kath Hounds and settling feuds between farmers (and that murder case that I made a point of avoiding after the first time)...

What music are you listening to right now?
Currently listening to Planescape: Torment soundtrack. Thanks to the boys and girls from Interplay who provided the downloads before it went offline. You know who you are I've done a bit of searching on the net every now and then, but never found any info on Mark Morgan... Did he ever do anything besides the Fallout and PS:T music ?!? And how did BIS ever get the idea of letting him do the music ?

Mira vs. Bao-Dur
T3 He got the skills, the staying power, the damage dealing ability and the good looks. Don't need either of the other two

What's the first RPGs you've played?
The first crpg I can remember playing would be the original Temple of Apshai by Epyx in 1983-84. The first crpg I can remember actually completing was Phantasie by SSI in 1985. Never played a console game (watching my 5 year old nephew play doesn't count). Edit: The above games were C64 versions btw. :cool:

Episodes 4-6 remade??
Could it be related to this: http://forums.obsidianent.com/index.php?showtopic=32268 I stopped caring about the movies a while ago, but even I would shiver at the thought of Jar Jar Binks destroys the Death Star. I hope it's just some digital filtering of the originals for 3D showings...

Funniest Moments in KotOR2
The various replies you can get regarding your looks when turning darkside. One of the cantina owners (can't remember which) offered me an ointment for my "condition" One unintentionally funny one was caused by the random loot system. After having taken out some automated gun turrets, one the turret remains had some meditation gloves. Somehow, trying to depicture in my mind what a gun turret would use meditation gloves for was just... too absurd and I burst out laughing

Who's the new tragic heroine?
Hey, she is trying to save the universe. You can't always do that without breaking a few eggs and get your halo dirtiy

Best 'fall to the Dark Side' in a game?
- How hot was Kreia?
Around 37 degrees Celcius ?...- Great interview with Chris Avellone
I can see Obsidians third game for me... Fast Times at Obsidian High An epic horror survival crpg, can you survive the teenage years?- Who's the new tragic heroine?
Mostly when she was talking. Tried Silence 15' on her, but it didn't work- Who's the new tragic heroine?
The only tragic heroine in Kotor 2 would be Kreia. Winning only by creating someone able to kill you is sort of a lose/lose situation :'( Handmaiden was there for the underwear, Mira for the red hair and Visa had a big nose. Not sure about already dead and decomposing girls (Vash).- Another KotOR III Poll
Watching too much "Life of Brian" recently ? In that case, we should all follow the Shoe (unlike the heathens who follow the Gourd) - How hot was Kreia?
