    Icewind Dale Roleplay

    Indeed. Though is there a way to purge the poll at each new point? I think a few have been there since Q1 and are skewing it a bit. Oh and green. Definetly green. ;)

    Icewind Dale Roleplay

    Hmm, yell a challange to someone high up, three times my size, and with big rocks to throw down.... dont think so. Drop the shield and run to a wall? Sorry, I dont do 'bug on windshield' impressions, so no. Drop the shield and go invisible? Hmm, not bad. But of course there is the little...

    Icewind Dale Roleplay

    Hmm... Utter a long string of inventive profanities concerning the parentage of Hrothgar for leading us into it, have an unusual urge to kill and all mysterious halflings, and idly wonder how to pronounce 'Icasaracht'. Oh, and throw up a magic shield.

    You and every other player in existence. An old quote I read long ago... "Elminster is the most famous DM's-pet-NPC in existence, and, fairly or unfairly, he gets painted with all the crimes perpetrated by members of his race. As such, he is a convenient stand-in for every asshat Merlin rip-off...

    The new Xbox

    I suspect it's more like they can't (if the employees have the slightest hint of self preservation). When you have an obnoxious power freak at the top, people lower on the corporate rung who dare question 'the grand vision' tend to be seeking new employment rather quickly. So even if the...

    Mad Max The Video Game

    I'm mildly surprised they managed to put the steering wheel on the correct side of the V8 interceptor. Usually they forget details like that. (intro clip from MM2) The blurb - a lone warrior who must embark on a perilous journey after his Interceptor is stolen by a deadly gang of marauders. A...

    Just use the "thief forward observer" trick. Have her stealth and go forward enough so the thief can see them, but they can't see your main party. Then have your mage throw a cloudkill or two using the _thief's_ line of sight. The spell starts hurting them, but since they can't see you they...

    The new Xbox

    Already done - people are saying he was talking about the chip architecture and was taken out of context. This is however debateable as while the Jaguar CPU is a indeed a sucessor to AMD's Bobcat (a notebook cpu), Intel is releasing the 22nm Haswell architecture in June, which means...

    The new Xbox

    *blink* And this guy is the "Chief Technology Officer at Electronic Arts"? This goes a veeery long way to explaining a lot of EA's problems.

    Stephen Gaghan. As to wether he is any good, I couldn't say I as I have seen none of his listed works.

    The new Xbox

    There shouldn't even be a war at this point. Between M$ diving headfirst into the concrete with Windows 8 (which they finally admitted) and now the new Xbox, both gaming platforms now have something in common. /> Combined with 10 years of lacklustre performance, I wonder how long Steve is...

    Torment: Tides of Numenera

    'The complete book of elves' was an early splat book released for 2nd ed D&D (around 10 years ago IIRC). It was not well liked and the more common title used in RPG circles is "The Complete Book of the Master Race". Mechanically, the new classes were severly unbalanced, (hence the jibe about...

    Is 2013 the worst year for gaming?

    You wont be then, as it's Bethesda. As for the mention, it was a tweet by the voice actor for Three Dog (Erik Todd Dellums) - "To all my #Fallout3 and #ThreeDog fans: There may be more of the Dog coming! Fingers crossed!" with speculation its about Fallout 4.

    General crowdfunding.

    Not surprising though, its just that Interplay wasn't very subtle about it. Greaseball Herve had been sodomising Black Isle's corpse for cash for years until Bethesda finally shut him down (the Fallout franchise). Also Feargus (Obsidian's CEO) mentioned at one point that big publishers had...

    Yes to the GK question. Bio-itis? OOoooooh No. Codex and BSN hate each other. Using a club comparision... BSN: Effete cafe whose patrons moan about how misunderstood they are while reciting bad poetry to each other as they sip tea. Patrons sniff in disdain at you if you upset them. Codex...

    Playing Classic RPGs

    Gk 1-2-3 are seperate 'adventures', and you dont have to have played the prior ones - though a lot of the characters peronalities/motivations are introduced in earlier ones so you may be saying 'what is a shattenjager?' or 'what is this shiney medallion?' at first until you work it out through...

    The Bg2 endings.... You could try GK2 (fmv) or GK3 (3rd person 3d) first to see if you like it before going back to GK1. Deus Ex is just as ancient and the graphics have not aged well - even with the 'HD patch'. Still a very good game though. The main drawbacks with F1 & F2 is the party...

    No. It only stops 'conflicting reputation' events. Eg: NPC's complaining about being too good or too bad. I don't remember how annyoing it is as my original game is buried under a pile of mods. [And I hate Minsc anyway and leave him in his cage at the beginning. />/>]. You could get Shadow...
