An ironic moment.

Some random pictures from Aion Beta:

 

 

 

 

 

It's generally very pretty. Too bad it's a bit boring and repetitive. I made level 10+ at least so now I can fly, which helps a little. But even that grew old fast once I realized I can only be skybound for 60 seconds at a time. Unless I hit level 40 and gain 11 million Kinah (weird name for currency), because then I can buy better wings. I have like 5 thousand right now at level 11.

people are getting really... creative in selling their gold and stuff.

Hehe, I was staring at that first picture trying to figure out what the hell you meant.

 

Ive seen that from a different company and on my server, they do it in front of the entrance to the AH in Orgrimmar.

I saw one being made in front of Stormwinds AH too. I think it's to prevent them from getting banned for spamming trade chat.

More Aion:

 

 

 

Did I mention the female character models are kinda hot..?

that uses cryengine 2?

I don't trust that Stony the "Stone Fist" sneaking up on that girl like that.

Dreamfall was so memorable that I don't even remember the name of the purple-shirted chick... only that she had an annoying voice.

More Mask of the Betrayer. I'm always amazed at how good this game looks in comparison with the NWN2 OC. I'd rank MotB as one of the best looking games I know, and at the same time I'd rate NWN2 pretty low. And both are done in the same engine. Pretty cool.

^ NWN2 is one of the only games I can remember whereby an XP gave the original such a drastic graphics overhaul.

 

I'm playing SoZ at the minute and it looks great.

Graphics aren't the only thing MotB did better. OC bores and annoys the hell out of me, but MotB is one of the best games I have ever played.

Alright, I need to try MOTB.

We are in full agreement sir.

 

Also, here's a screenie from my tropical paradise in the Tropico 3 demo.

 

Anyone trudging through the NWN2 OC for whatever reason instead of playing the awesomeness of MotB is doing themselves a disservice.

^ Epic levels, dungeons, bald red wizard chicks, rainbow bears, witches, cold baths with crazy beserkers, phat lewt, over-the-top uber-combat... what's not to love about MotB?

Don't forget incorporeal monstrosities made out of tortured souls and actually eating something's very soul instead of just killing them.

I see I'm not the only one who finds MotB very good looking. Just goes to show you how big of a difference good art direction and smart use of colour can make.

If that's a screenshot taken from the actual end sequence of a game that hasn't even been released for 95% of the population on this forum, I'm going to hunt you down and shove that game disc down your throat.

Vampire Ancients that can kill your entire party in five seconds.

Thats the hardest battle of the game, but its not particularily difficult.

You mean you are not using the Win Button®?

 

Ah, you must be using home rules to make combat more interesting. Yes, that must be it. Do you also play with one hand behind your back?

It seems Safiya with the "Vampiric Feast" spell is the Win Button right there. That is, if them vampires wouldn't save against the spell anyway.

If you take on those Vampires as soon as you can access the area though, it can be a damn good challenge. First time I played the game, I was playing a Rogue. So I went into the lower levels of the vault and picked those doors open. Got absolutely stomped. The Berserker lodge battle can be really hard as well.

 

But yeah, unfortunately most stuff in Mask can be made very easy by just gaining a few levels and then unleashing Vampiric Feast. They were a lot better at setting up the battles to be more interesting thematically, but the challenge was still missing.
