You sleep ... at night?

I think we should hurry up and habitate another planet.

No wonder it's tought to sell. There are very limited number of people who even remember Wasteland, let alone played it back when it was released. And based on reactions of Fallout3, how many of original Wasteland fans would even be remotely happy with end result ? Probably not many, even if sequel would be good. I'm not sure if reanimating these old brands is good idea anyway. It's very rare that some core mechanics or world aspects would be worth to salvage vs. creating something complitely new. Personally I got lucky with Fallout3 because world aspects are the most important thing for me and I don't care much or combat system, rules or perspective as long as they work fine. But at the same time it's easy to see why many fans of the original games are very angry about new direction of Fallout3. The biggest reason to use an existing franchise is the boost in marketing, for nothing. The largest cost is the potential loss due to diehard fans not liking it ... which is negligible.

Let's draw a discreet curtain over this before it's too late ...

A rainbow bear? Nice water shot, though.

The magic-user class of postman uses the ethernet to deliver packages.

You're right ... they obviously just wanted to take a break now, before releasing the game, rather than just wait for a few months.

You can opt for a lump sum outside the tax-stealing US of A.

Sounds like the central conceit of NwN2. NWN2 is about the silver sword (and the KoS of course), a piece of which just happens to be inside an everyday farmboy/girl. The BG series is about the child(ren) of a now dead god. Not talking about the why, talking about the incremental ability additions to the PC.

No, she was real. Extensive, possibly illegal research proved it. We didn't believe it either. Then s/he was a very damaged identity and deserves as much pity as derision.

With such prudent financial governance, I'm sure that will evermore be the case.

Just watched the first episode of season two of Rome (BBC2). Lotsa fun.

Yeah, I just shaved my face for the first time in about six months.

... Only if you are a father.

It's actually a very good proof of the non-existence of a god: the fact is you need someone very clever and a lot more complex than the game to create the animals ... where did we come from?

Sounds like the central conceit of NwN2.

You don't want to play a sandbox game where you can design your own creatures ... like microbes, then small reptiles, amphibians, mammals, birds, etc?

Do creative ideas of their own come with the built in hype of the Fallout franchise? I honestly wouldn't have cared about the game if it hadn't been named Fallout. But since it is, I see multiple threads on this forum with at least one active every single day. Mere exposure effect has won me over and I'll probably buy the damned thing. The reason it has Fallout on the box and how the game is being designed is the primary reason why I am not buying the game. Real time, first person combat with Action Points spent as Mana Forced to play a 19 year old Oblivion styled Dialogue system (can we say conversation minigame anyone?) Nuclear powered sling shot and so forth and so on. I have yet read anything about this game that makes me want to buy it. You had given up gaming forever, yesterday, so no great loss then.

It's okay, the Swedish civilization will collapse under the unserviceable debts before he lives to old age.

GOLD Please note: NOT family friendly gold. I've only hit page four and I already can't see how someone could be that stupid. It must be a troll. I was crying with laughter through most of the community members' responses.

That shows a distinct lack of cognizance of the rules of grammar and construction of words using symbols (letters); at least dyslexic.

It's not you.

Your considered opinion is worthy, of course.
