Gromnir Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Irenicus is cool because he's basically an unintentional Ghaleon expy with less subterfuge and more evil. ... am having no idea what you is talking 'bout. irenicus is an excellent villain that got wasted 'cause o' some bad execution. you gots the whole macbeth angle that is foreshadowed multiple times and multiple ways throughout the course o' a long game. (is too bad that the bard quest were optional, but that is another issue.) 'course most folks miss such 'cause presentation were poor. 'stead o' irenicus/macbeth dying, he gets a second chance from a well-intentioned queen, but the second chance is a lie 'cause irenicus/macbeth is not only having his elven heritage stripped, but the emotional capacity to need or want redemption. is actually a very clever concept and character, but the way irenicus gets developed in the game makes him seem like little more than the traditional over-the-top, mad-with-power Evil Wizard that appears in a large % o' fantasy lit and games. irenicus Should be tragic and evoking sympathy, but the writers failed to achieve necessary pathos. *shrug* is too bad, 'cause the potential is there to be something special. wasted. HA! Good Fun!

Why would you? You have no idea who Ghaleon is. But he had a rather nice garden for an evil mage.

Volourn Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 "Should be tragic and evoking sympathy" No, no he shouldn't. That would be trite and passe. He'd be worse off. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Serrano Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) It's an alt-code. Go to your text box, hold down left-alt and on the number pad side of your keyboard (the numerals along the top of the keyboard won't work) type 130 and let go of alt. Here are some more codes http://www.alt-codes.net/ Edited February 10, 2011 by Serrano
sorophx Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 more codes http://www.alt-codes.net/ neato! thanks Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland.

Gromnir Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 we actually does different. alt codes is great, but we use so infrequent that we only know a couple. we copy from word using ctrl + ' + vowel. example: ctrl + ' + a = "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

HoonDing Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I have all those French letters & signs on my keyboard. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Nepenthe Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I have all those French letters & signs on my keyboard. I have the accents in the scandi keyboard. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
entrerix Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 irenicus was cool, baldurs gate 2 is not as good as planescape torment, and french letters are only good when they spell food and go into my digestive system. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Orogun01 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Well, the demo has been delayed. until Feb 22 not a lot but... I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Orogun01 Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 What was the original date? Sorry I meant the game, the demo is on it's place. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Tigranes Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Currently DA2's on my "buy if bored/cheap" list, but I'll try the demo when it's out. That's one decision I can wholeheartedly get behind, to release a demo. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)
Vilhelm Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Sorry I meant the game, the demo is on it's place. The game release and the demo release have been locked in place for some time. What has been delayed, though, is the demo pre-release for Gamestop employees. It doesn't affect "normal people" in any way. Dragon Age 2 demo no longer available early to GameStop employees
Orchomene Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) For french accents, if I use a qwerty keyboard, I do it by setting a key as a compose key. I will also try the demo since I can't decide at the moment if I will buy the game few days after launch or when it will be much cheaper. Edited February 11, 2011 by Orchomene
