Hekate Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) Correction: ... assuming again Kreia was being honest (very clever that one giving ambiguous answers such as Exile: "do you know so-and-so?" to which Kreia answers: "not a one" Hee, hee, hee ) That should have been writen as: ... Exile "Do you have any clue how so-and-so happened?" to which Kreia answers: "Not a one" ... :"> To quote Yoshimo (Baldur's Gate II) "How embarassing" Edited April 20, 2006 by Hekate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekate Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 How many Bio games have you played? It is very very usual plot twist in their games. Strange that I was like WTF when Bastila turned to DS. I should've guessed it BG and NWN original (Aribeth, d'oh! :"> ) are the only 2 i've finished. Didn't finish BG II and Fallout (is Planescape: Torment a BioWare title? Didn't get past 5 mins after leaving the morgue for the first time). So i haven't finished most. Does that mean i suck? :D On second thought, don't answer that :'( Haven't played Diablo so i haven't a clue what Musopticon? meant by "phat lewt huntah". Or is that computer person-speak and that is why i don't understand it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturm Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 personally i didnt care that kotor was a cliche in everyway to the movies, but it was different, you had to do your own stuff and i liked the fact that it was a cliche, different genre and other things but it related it back to the movies which gave it a similarity feel, and that you knew what you where doing in a sence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh... thanks (whisper) By the way, what language do they speak? personally i didnt care that kotor was a cliche in everyway to the movies, but it was different, you had to do your own stuff and i liked the fact that it was a cliche, different genre and other things but it related it back to the movies which gave it a similarity feel, and that you knew what you where doing in a sence Yup. That it is set in the SW universe lends familiarity and players already have a sense of the SW *feel*. And they also have familiarity with the overriding concepts and themes ie: the Force, the tech, the political structure, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 So i haven't finished most. Does that mean i suck? :D On second thought, don't answer that :'( <{POST_SNAPBACK}> :D Thanks Blank.

Musopticon? Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Go to hiss somewhere else. We are quite on topic, while you on the other hand are not. Please remove youself from the thread if your intention is to continue on that, n00b. Anyways, what I meant with the lewt huntah was just that, there's a focus on equipment that becomes gradually stornger just like you and, again just like you, gets to reidiculous levels in power. Granted, it's not very fair to torch the game for doing what all rpgs seem to do, but seeing all the various equipment threads and moanings about the random generation I must admit I'm not so sure if this games focus was the roleplaying. Then again, it could just be the fans, like our spamming friend above. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

Hekate Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) "lewt huntah" .... (w00t) loot hunter! :D Anyways, what I meant with the lewt huntah was just that, there's a focus on equipment that becomes gradually stornger just like you and, again just like you, gets to reidiculous levels in power. Granted, it's not very fair to torch the game for doing what all rpgs seem to do, but seeing all the various equipment threads and moanings about the random generation I must admit I'm not so sure if this games focus was the roleplaying. Sure it's fair. Torch away... i may be a lone bastion standing against the tide of hack and slash, but i play the RPGs for the story and character interactions. It's like reading a book, except being an active participant in it, and it's one i re-read numerous times and can try different perspectives out in. I don't mind combat in amounts of even beyond respectable moderation, but when the game deteriorates into an endless stream of Smurfs vs. Godzilla (*cough* Malachor V), i get irked <_< I think part of the reason there is such a preoccupation with equipment and all that stems from the desire to get the most out of the game.

Musopticon? Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) To my adoring fan: Off-topic. Leave. Why are the two words so hard to digest? Is it because of the obvious lack of any language skills whatsoever or is it because of your age? I'm willing to go with the latter one and let this whole thing rest, it's your damn post count after all(over 1000 posts of trivial doodlihoot is not a good thing), but if you persist on spamming over this I am sure I can come up with something to make your forum life even more unpleasant. No, that's not a threat, those are prohibited. It's an eventuality. Now go bother someone else, you are boring me, newbster. XOXO To the witch of the crossroads: "I think part of the reason there is such a preoccupation with equipment and all that stems from the desire to get the most out of the game." I think that's a good point, I hadn't think about it that way. You could say that the whole forum is a standing evidence on how much we are achievers. Gamewise, I mean. Some of that stems from the fact that the vast majority of this forums populace are SW fans, but many are rpg-fan(atic)s and getting their money's worth...is everything. :D I don't think it's only the snese of fullfilment or the predicament I call loothinting, but the on truth that getting totally immersed into a game and trying to get everything, every ounze of enjoyment out of it comes naturally to us.

Hekate Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) To the witch of the crossroads i channel the Stupid Side of the Force, so i don't know if that is a compliment :D or if i should cry... :'( Or was that a sneaky reference to Hecate? I think that's a good point, I hadn't think about it that way. You could say that the whole forum is a standing evidence on how much we are achievers. Gamewise, I mean.

Yeah! And that is why in my games, i like to reload conversations numerous times and try all the dialogue options. I figure the devs put so much effort into it, i want to see everything they came up with. Also, i get a better sense of what the characters acutally mean since the player character's dialogue is often ambiguous and sometimes, down right confusing. Which incidentally is another cliche. How dialogue options are left with open-ended meanings as a shortcut to explain away inconsistencies. RPG fans, from what i noticed, tend to be a bit more into the story and characters (etc..) than the action. Or at least, those are what stay with the players in the long run. It's going to be our downfall Damn straight! The more i say the word cliche, where once i was completely certain of its meaning, now i fear i am finding it difficult to hold onto that meaning.

HOTH! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No no no...Tatooine is biggest cliche. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wrong... hoth is probably the most used battle in the WORLD. Also I consider hoth to be more of a cliche because it's harder to impliment. Considering the sheer number of games that either A) mention it as a part of the plot or B) find some single piece of the freaking battle that hasn't been used, I'd consider hoth to be bigger than tattooine.
