Ultima VII's combat might well have not existed for all I care.  It was a complete non-factor.  You entered combat mode, and it basically played itself out.

 

Ultima VII was undoubtedly an awesome game.

 

What you say here is also applicable to Torment, however. People constantly complain about the "bad combat" but it was virtually a non-factor in that game too. I was too enthralled about the storyline, the gameworld, the in-depth NPCs, and learning more about TNO and co. to be worried about the next demon I was going to run my sword through.

"What one considers 'poor combat' differs from person to person. I for one didn't think the combat was poor at all. And never understood the folks that do."

 

That might be because you wouldn't recognize good combat even if it hit you in the face repeatedly with a sledgehammer and took a dump in your mouth.

 

Oh, of course! You mean "good" combat? Like Diablo or IWD?

 

No thanks.

 

I like profound games with engaging storylines, branching dialogue options and deep meaningful NPCs. If good combat means a half-a$$ed storyline/npcs then by all means I'd rather have "bad" combat.

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.


For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

Just got the game myself. Any suggestions on character creation statwise? I am thinking about doing a mage with 18 intelligence, 17 constitution and 10s for the rest.

Put points in wisdom too. And while 18 inteligence at the start may seem like a good choice, going with 14 and giving your character some fighting edge instead is better at the start. You'll get extra attribute points to spend as you go up in levels, so 18 isn't too far away. One neato thing; the attributes can go above and beyond 18 and the game is filled(well, not everywhere but more than in BG 2) with stat permanently-raising items. Especially if your target is Lawful Good.

There's only fighter, thief and mage as classes and you have to find someone to train you as the to latter ones.

Thanks for the help, guys. I have to say though, so far in the morgue, the game doesn't look that impressive (considering how much praise I have heard from members). I do hope it gets more interesting as the story unfolds.

It all depends on if you like the story and the characters, because if you don't, there's nothing else in that game for you.

Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

^ No.

I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God.

So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me?

Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

^Mkreku is right.

...the story unfolds slowly at first and there are many who have lost interest there, but hang with it a bit, things start to unravel and you won't be disappointed IMHO...mkreku is right, though; if the characters and the story don't do it for ya, ya won't like PS:T... :thumbsup:

Yep like any game with pregenerated characters it's pretty important that you connect with them. The story is so closely tied to the character that I don't think you could seperate them.

I have to agree with Volourn.  Bioware is pretty much dead now.  Deals like this kills development studios.
