Pope Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 According to D&D rules, 15 is above average, and 18 strength is heroic. Don't give in to the Powergamer within you. That said, Khalid is better off dualed to a mage and kept in the back of the party. I usually make fighter type characters for BG because of the lack of decent tanks. (And I don't invite evil characters into the party, so Korgan is out.) How the hell do you dual a half-elf? Cheater! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 After you beat Nashkel, it's a cakewalk on most areas, with the exception of certain dungeons(Gullykin's maze, urgh) and areas(the pack of undead wolves near the Temple, my god). kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Musopticon? Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 System Shock 2, starting for the first time. I'd like some pointers, I don't have the smallest idea what's going to be ahead. Except Shodan, she is granted. Stay tuned for when I start Fallout 1 for the first time next week. Horde your pistol ammo, buy up hacking, cyber affinity, and small arms. So, a hacker build is a good idea? The psychic path appeals to me but I've heard it's pretty damn hard. Cheers, btw. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Tale Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I recently tried playing Dark Messiah of Might & Magic but just couldn't get into it. Specialize in stealth. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Alright, I've decided to finally play Fallout 2. I have Fallout 1 lying around too, but I remember trying it out a few years ago and it felt too dated (the pixel horror!). So give me some advice on my character. I know nothing of SPECIAL.

J.E. Sawyer Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Specialize in stealth. I did that in Oblivion, but I didn't really feel compelled to in DMoMM. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Specialize in stealth. I did that in Oblivion, but I didn't really feel compelled to in DMoMM. I thought it was poor in Oblivion. In DMoMM, I fell in love playing that way. If you ever feel interested to try again, try it and let me know if it made the game more interesting for you.

I forgot he was a half-elf, but I'm not against changing characters to suit my preferences. I don't care if they were Bioware's pets from pnp or not. I'm saddled with them now.

Hmmm, perhaps you can deal us in a bit, eh? I've wanted to play through BG with Khalid, but I've always dropped him for better fighters. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

taks Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 plenty o mod tools out there to do whatever you want with the characters, stat changes, race changes, etc. ^wistrik the game just seems sluggish, and it may simply just be a perception problem biased from so many campaigns through BG2. it's not bad enough to be too annoying, however (the frame rate actually seems rather high). also, since my native resolution is 1600x1200 (21" LCD), the 8800GTS is getting a workout converting to full-screen at 640x480, i'm guessing. taks comrade taks... just because.

It may be drivers then. My native is 1920x1200 and the game runs fine for me, with a lesser system (7950GT video). I'd suggest windowed mode, but that's tiny on our screens.

taks Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 unbearably tiny. i haven't played with all the options. oh, btw, i'm not certain the "16-bit" thingy did the fix. there's also a button for "press if your system displays anomalies in the graphics" or something. i clicked that and it solve the problem now that i recall.. taks comrade taks... just because.

Deraldin Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Still working my way through Overlord on my evil evil run. I'm up to 35% corruption so far. Most of that is from killing people. I'm starting to "grow" armour spikes on my shoulders and my tower is definitely looking darker than it did on my 0% corruption run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Jagged Alliance 2 v 1.13 again. It's just awesome. I decided to use the money cheat this time, hire a crack squad, and go straight for Diedrianna. It's been pretty awesome so far, my squad is healling up at the gas station.

theslug Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Started Overlord tonight. Pretty cool game. I got the food for the halfings but I didn't want to walk out and just went back to the tower and walked into the city and I didn't get the reward. :'( Pretty odd how the mayor is black....I mean you just don't see black people in computer games especially ones that are like English. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deraldin Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Overlord still. Just beat the paladin again and dumped Rose in favour of Velvet this time through. I'm up to 47% corruption. My little jester has taken to saying "Appreciator of Voluptuous Assets" recently. Being evil evil seems to be more expensive than being good evil. I have to pay to upgrade both red AND green minions? Bah! Not to mention there seems to be more items to buy for my tower than I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
