Coke, I like originals...

A very short list VMBL (already released, just need to pick it up in the store after the weekend) KOTOR2 (should be around in February) Nothing else on my shopping list

Translation: Likes the OC Translation: Predictable Translation: Cleavage Translation: Follow sign, grab object, return to cleavage... ehh I mean Aribeth Translation: I don't read many books Translation: Only VMBL had more cleavage... Anyway, voted NWN2, I'm yet to be disappointed by any Obsidian game that I've tried so far.

Busy rearranging local geographics, like moving Sumatra 36 meters to the south-west ?

Worse. It's counter productive. It's main purpose is to cause pain and trouble for legit buyers and reward people who go for "warez". The first thing I do when I buy a new piece of software, whether it be Windows itself or just a (relatively) cheap game is find copy protection/activation removers. Games usually runs more smoothly without it and when I buy it, I want to be able make a backup and work from that one (archiving the original media in a safe place, away from daylight and wear and tear). As for the attempts at quantification of the loss caused by filesharing etc. I "guess" that they are exaggerated to make somebody feel good about feeling sorry for themselves. Most (I'm guessing again) people who use illegal software wouldn't have purchased it in the first place but just continued without it. It's more likely a frustration thing, that developers and publishers can't do much about a bunch of pimple faced brats with attitude problems that steal their things and hides like the cowards they are, therefore using something like cd-drive killing protection schemes to give a false sense of at least doing something. If all the money that went into licensing Safedisc/Laserlock/Securom and all the other garbage went into tracking and elimintating the distribution channels, much would be accomplished. You can't stop people from trying to break a protection mechanism, it's a challenge thing, there will always be somebody who tries and succeeds. You can however go after those who try to make a (fake) name for themselves by distributing it. Assumedly, they are more in it for the "glory by association with the cool cracker thing" than the challenge thing.

Yeah, and Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play is the RPG companion to Warhammer Fantasy Battle. No reason a WH40K RPG wouldn't be possible. Actually they already made one, I believe it's called Inquisitor. Exactly, hence my interest in playing an Inquisitor

Who are you, and what did you do to the real Visceris ???

I used to play it a lot... even got myself a Necromunda gang... unfotunately, the time that Necromunda was released was also the time I relocated to a place with no GW gaming groups in the vicinity. Never really picked up the hobby again, only playing rarely after that. Got myself a 20000 (yes, thats twenty thousand) point epic (2nd edition, not the new crap version) ork army, a 15000 point 2nd edition Wh40k Imperial Guard army (now gathering dust), plus misc. imperial agents (my militant nuns rock). Oh, and three fair sized Warhammer fantasy armies, undead (before they got wrecked by the split into vampires and mummies), lizard men (when they still looked like mean lizards) and the latest one I started collecting, a Dark Elf army (not really for gaming, just collecting and painting). Spent a lot of time and money on that hobby from 1985 to 2002... :-" For some reason, I never got into the Blood-Bowl thing, it was just too weird.

Warhammer 40k... would love to be a kick ass inquistor rooting out good and evil and everything else that is suspect...

In my best Mitch Pileggi voice imitation: "Humans are a race that does not *know* itself..."

Life is a sexually transmitted fatal disease. We should all contribute to contain and eradicate it... Yeah right

EA Star Wars Sports: Light Saber fencing Force Jumping Blaster Shooting Swoop Racing You name it... Teh horror :ph34r:

Completed Kotor 7 times. Enough is enough. I might pick it up some day again, but not in the near future. When I have to time to play games these days, I play Pirates! I look forward to Kotor2, but I'm not getting all excited like a bunch of 14 year old girls at a concert

Well, then I would have loved to bring in the big guns. If you knew which one of them was your real father, I could at least insult your pedigree. Alas, as it is, I'll have to mock your body odour which is so bad, that a camels humps would wilt and itself run braying over the nearest cliff edge to escape the horror. (wonder how long this thread will be allowed to continue... )

That means we can flame you without fear of repercussions ? Yes....the mod gods have disabled my flaming abilities. *Tilt* Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries...

Self publishing is a bit like carrying all your eggs in one basket... If you create a hit, your walls will be covered with greenbacks. It you flop, you might be completely out of business. It's pretty much what a publisher do, they gamble and put the money up front. If you want to be your own publisher, you also need to consider, where does the money come from to finance your projects, take mortgages or wait a title or five until you might be able to publish smaller titles yourself ? Interplay and Bethesda are two examples of how it can turn out for a company that is both publisher and developer Just curious.

Go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

That would be Morrowind with guns... Ehh, wait, they are already doing that one. It's called Fallout 3 :shifty:"

What a bunch of sorry insult wannabe's No flair, no natural flow, nothing truly aggravating. Go watch a Monthy Python movie.

"Seems" to be the general concensus by people who completed the game (my own subjective interpretation of the feedback on this forum). Great game, bugs that threatens the game experience and an ending that screams "Kotor3!"

Says who ? Define "adequate development time" please ? This was the funny part. Yes, Kotor's engine was a modified Aurora engine. No, an engine that you have to modify to remedy some of the shortcomings that caused complaints from the first game, doesn't necessarily constitute half of the game. A nice starting point to begin development on, yes.

Ask again in February

No
