I think its just conjecture at this point (and I imagine F:NV is moddable because F3 was and its using basically all the same game engine stuff*) I want to say that there were references with the Alien RPG was canceled that the proprietary engine they created was going to be used for their another project, but I haven't seen anything indicating that's actually the case here yet (unless I missed something**) *highly technical term **Possible

Did you play as Recruit first time round and then as Veteran or one of the others in subsequent playthroughs? I'm finding that the initial points you get at the beginning as a Vet really do make a hell of a lot of difference for the enjoyment of the first section, though it could just be me knowing what I'm doing this time round. I restarted after getting through the opening and - having some idea of what I was doing and what the skills actually did - magically had a much better opening that I did first time around after recreating my character.

I knew it was in someone's profile, I just couldn't remember whose...

Eh, I've used the SMGs once, but all my points were in pistols (it was just to try and backoff a mob).

Indeed Jeri Ryan explained it was a short film created by a director to try and sell WB on their take on MK.

Where's the BISIMG Drama tag when I need it...?

I thought PoP was fun in a broad action film way. And the two leads had good chemestry (and some good banter but I wanted more).

Awkward.

I think having the dogs kill the fox is the common way, although its my understanding that in some areas the dogs flush the fox for hunters to shoot.

1E with Psionics = win.

I'm a little excited. I might be an outlier though and my excitement/non-excitement levels may wax/wane as information is revealed about the game. are you excited 'cause it is a ds game or because it is an obsidian game? our query were: why ds? HA! Good Fun! I liked the first Dungeon Siege. Would I be as excited if it wasn't Obsidian doing it? No. Would I still be interested? Yeah probably.

And the original Clash of the Titans Excalibur Time Bandits Beastmaster Sword and the Sorcerer Legend Red Sonja Conan the Destroyer Highlander Willow

I'm a little excited. I might be an outlier though and my excitement/non-excitement levels may wax/wane as information is revealed about the game.

yeah its that bit where the undead are on the other side of a thin landbridge over a chasm on the second floor (or is it third?)

Spamming Force Wave also got me through all of KotOR and most of TSL.

I'd argue that neither you nor I nor any gamer SHOULD have to think like that. It's the job of the devs and QA people to think like that and make sure that useless or overpowered elements are kept out of the game. I dunno, given that it seems to be a condition of a particular prestige class (out of several) and a specific weapon (out of hundreds), I'd say something like that would be easy to miss and very unlikely for any player to come across without metagaming.

But Dragon's eye also had the yuan-ti, didn't it (leading up to the great Yxunomei fight)?

Never said otherwise.

It was also done in one of the Breath of Fire games (a whale?) IIRC. Doesn't mean it can't be done more.

Hmmm, see I'd never in a million years think of something like that. If I'd done a weaponmaster it'd have been because I wanted to super-specialize in a weapon (in fact I think I had a weapon master with halberds)

Didn't say there weren't bugs - just acknowledging I haven't found them (yet). Again I never noticed that Force storm was overpowered (I'm pretty sure I used it, but I used a lot of skills and powers). Why would the Weapon Master be useless unless he picks Favored Weapon (Falchion)? Or by useless do you mean "not optimized to be the most effective he can be" ie gamebreakingly unstoppable.

Sometimes I wonder if "health" when used in a regenerating system would make more sense identifies as more of a luck/ability to dodge injury on things that should normally hit (ie it expresses a fatigue factor that will eventually cause a blow to hit and kill the player). Anyhow its an abstraction and you kind of have to figure on that sort of thing in games.

I thought that they bred very rarely with a horse or donkey? (But I hedged my bets and mentioned artificial mules (with a double word score reference to a fav C64 era game) although a quest to restore your Mules Mojo would be a worthy quest indeed).

I loved IWD so a hack and slash game of comparable nature would be most welcome.
