I liked Storm of Zehir :p

 

MotB was way better though... But tough to play as an Evil character.

Yeah, excellently dreary.

 

Honestly the most fun I had with SoZ was with trying out different party configurations. Beyond that it's pretty sparse and I don't like the economic minigame.

:p

 

Fun game

 

I'm not sure why Mask of the Betrayer isn't on there.

Captain Obvious

Because it's awesome and worth more :)

Even if you don't like the campaign of SoZ for some reason, it would still be worth 5 bucks just for the tileset, overland map function, new races, creatures and placables at that price. As someone who has played the original Pool of Radiance games I can absolutely appreciate what was done in SoZ. Heh, there was even a cameo appearance from a Pool of Radiance character. :p

I thought SoZ was fun. It didn't bowl me over, but I enjoy trading games and that kind of thing. The biggest problem I had with it was the loadscreens every five minutes, but I just ran away from most of the encounters.

This particularly rapid, unintelligible patter isn't generally heard, and if it is, it doesn't matter.

The random encounters in SoZ never bothered me much... I had hired the Ranger from Samargol and boosted her hide/move silently/listen skills so high that I could detect & happily avoid every single encounter in the game. It made the game much more enjoyable.

 

What did bother me was how trivial it became to make gold in the game once you set up a few trading posts here and there... then I bought/crafted some uber equipment and simply breezed through everything (including the last bosses).

Yeh... that guy really kicked my butt when my PC misspoke and made him hostile...

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Thanks but no thanks, I'll just buy a copy of NWN 2: Gold and a copy of SoZ if I really want another set - and the only real reason for that would be to LAN. :p

wow, awesome deal. Too bad I already own all NWN2 games and expansions.

 

Riddick, Dark Athena for $5 sounds good and definitely getting Drakensang for $5.

MotB is a quality game, you could say it restored my faith in Obsidian as RPG developers. I played both the others, but they didn't leave any lasting impressions.

Hmm. It looks like a cheap version of Steam, one more likely to go bankrupt. So I'll pass on their online activation bullcrap.

 

But this thread has made me want to play MotB. I go bored 2/3 of the way through NWN2 and gave up.

There's only two features of SoZ that I liked: the overland map, and the music. The plot was worse than Shadow of Undrentide.

I think Matthew's post was more directed at those that hadn't played the game yet.

I enjoyed Shadows of Undrentide. Certainly better than the ****ty OC.

Actually it has been around longer than Steam and is affiliated with IGN so it won't be going under anytime soon.

 

They do have limited activations, I think.

I've only used D2D once* when I bought Dreamfall. It needed to be activated but doesn't have to run through a separate program like Steam. I don't have any complaints.

 

*That's because everything else I would have bought from them wasn't available outside North America.

The important question is: do they have unlimited re-downloads? That really makes or break a DD service with iTunes being one of the worst offenders IIRC.

Yes, but not unlimited installs, AFAIK. You have to de-authorise previous installs.
