Purkake Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Is it about Tyr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yes. You play as a Cleric of Tyr. No clue if the main story will revolve around Tyr as well (too early to tell).

HoonDing Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Does it take place after the Spellplague? Because IIRC Tyr gave his godhood to Torm (after owning Helm). The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm not really well versed in that stuff but I'm pretty sure it doesn't take place after the Spellplague. The plot seems to involve some conflict between Tyr and the Chaos Hound called Kezef. So far I'm very pleased with the atmosphere as well as the numerous skill checks (currently doing an investigation quest and it's really nicely done). It also takes a "realistic" or low-magic approach to things, so you need to pray at an altar to regain spells apparently (though I have to restore the altar in question first). And it encourages you at the beginning to take spells that may not be normally very useful in NWN2 as there are places in dialogues where you can cast spells. Gold is not plentiful and not a single magic weapon in sight so far. This is kinda why I like mods, they can go explore rather different designs. A lot of times it fails miserably but occasionally you'll get something quite interesting.

Gfted1 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So, made it to the first Borderlands boss, Nine-Toes ( and his 3 balls ) and got my ass handed to me. Im level 5 now but maybe I should go kills some skags until I hit level six and can use the gun that was in the wifes grave. That and I need to suck less at shooters.

Starwars Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Good game. One of my absolute favorite movie-gone-gaming games. Remember how amazed I was when I first bought it. A few more hours into The Maimed God's Saga, it's really good. Not much to complain about here I think. It has a fairly big romance (though you don't have to go through with it I think) which I don't really care for but it doesn't bother me that much. The gameplay is excellent, the story is actually pretty interesting and it's for free. Will likely end up alongside Trinity as my favorite NWN2 mod, though this also seems to be quite a lot longer.

LadyCrimson Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Hey mkreku, I'm curious about what level you finished Two Worlds with? I know there's technically no level cap but with random wandering/alchemy hunting I'm already level 31 and I haven't even come close to "seeing" even half the map or started on the main quest yet. I mean, I talked to that robed man in the starter area, got his instructions, and have ignored that quest line ever since. I realize that'll make those quests easy when I get back around to them. I prefer exploring at the moment. Done quite a few of available side/faction quests however. You can get around most of the town guards beforehand by hopping fences in certain spots. I'M SO SNEAKY. Altho, once I couldn't get back out again & had to reload, and once I stood on the spiked wooden palisade logs for too long/slipped or something and managed to impale myself, taking damage that almost killed me. heheh Edited August 20, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

mkreku Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I'm not sure, but I kind of remember hitting the high seventies at one point in the game. After a while, you will never have to worry about combat again. That's the biggest problem with all open-world games; they have to make them balanced for the ones who just want to do the main story quests which most often makes then way too easy for us who like to just wander and explore. Oblivion tried to fix the problem using level scaling.. we all know how that worked out. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

Gorth Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 NecroVision. Good old fashioned FPS ultra violence Not quite as slick as Painkiller, but quite Ok. Besides that, a bit of Nationstates. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

And yes, that's a common problematic aspect in terms of balance for wide-appeal....but I personally don't mind much. Edited August 21, 2010 by LadyCrimson “Things are as they are.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 NecroVision. Good old fashioned FPS ultra violence Are you playing the original or Lost Company? Either way, as you said, they're fun, old-school FPSes. "Geez.

Niten_Ryu Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I've been playing a lot of Dawn of War 2. I was thinking about doing "Let's play" on Primarch and get 5 stars on speed, but I've found out that for some levels, it seem really hard to do (especially with my rahter limited MPS). For example early mission "The True Enemy" seem to require sub 6 min run (as I got 4 stars for 6 min run). Combine this with horrible save system and I think you'd actually have to be speedrunning in order to complite 5 stars. I don't think I have patience or the skills for that. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I was up until 5:20 AM, playing Mass Effect 2. On my fourth playthrough. There's a lot of things in this game, including changes from ME1, that I don't particularly like, but somehow it really manages to suck me in unlike any game has since, well, Throne of Bhaal came out.

Monte Carlo Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Still playing the CoHO beta, which is awesome. BG2 on my new laptop, which is the perfect size for IE games (also have IWD / HoW / TotL on it). Installed Titan Quest on the lappie to see how purdy it looks (very) and played a bit more of it. I have to say that I really like the pick and mix skill tree system which allows you to be as gimpy / specialised as you like. It's a bit too hack and slash (not often you hear me say that) and certainly not enough tunnels but the ancient Greek vibe is groovy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithe Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I was under the impression that ME2's DLC was a giant pile of suck. Are the later ones better? Kasumi was interesting but kind of short. Had some nice story elements but was nothing too great gameplay wise. Firewalker - introduced the new vehicle which felt like it worked a lot better then the mako..although you didn't have the casual free roam with it.. just certain planet missions had it open. The story arc for that was nada too brilliant. Overlord definitely rules the roost out of all of them though. The storyline works, the gameplay elements are blended in nicely..

Nightshape Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I've been playing Assassin's Creed and A Farewell to Dragons. Both pretty bad games... Don't ask why I continue, I think I just keep hoping one of them will get better. I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.Down and out on the Solomani RimNow the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 A Farewell to Dragons Did they patch the game yet? Last time I played, I could not finish the English localized game because of a bug and had to finish the last part of the game in Russian. I kinda liked the game as a mix of Dungeon Siege & Arcanum (with absolutely horrible translation, giving the whole story a nice B-movie feel). Combat is kinda **** in the beginning, but some of the late game skills & spells are quite original. Not to mention, it's the only RPG where the main hero is David Hasselhoff: The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
