So, maybe around March or something like that? Thank you for the answer!

ETA on SoZ Walkthrough?

I am wondering when we can expect the SoZ walkthrough. :)

RPGs need items and loot, not the entire history of some fake land no one knows or cares about.

Uhm, no? CRPGs are about story and interactions, not about looting. And you are critical of console users. Yakes. If it takes consoles to bring really good and abundunt dialogues into CRPGs, I sure ...

I think I actually liked the original better. There were more companions to chose from, and the trial and siege of the Keep felt refreshing compared to the more of a cliched story-line of the MotB. Some of the Quests in the MotB were pretty good, but of the 5 companions, you could only have 4 in the ...

Therefore the 'new bandit gang' is valid in a PnP game IMO, but it doesn't really work in a CRPG. Also (and this is were you are dead right about presentation) having bandits walking around with a king's ransom on their backs is clearly ridiculous. A bit better equipped gang, sure, maybe a wand or ...

Hi, if Casavir is supposed to be there and is not, it could be a missing companion bug, it tends to ruin the cutscenes the most, see here:

I voted Sometimes, because I feel that while level-scaling is ridiculous for, say, rats or skeletons, human-like enemies, particulary the ones you have met and fought before should progress. As for treasure, I am kind of on the side of a Very Special Bonded Weapon here, with minimal loot in the ...

Jade Empire - the writing style in this game, the rules, the plot, small inventory and OF COURSE the companions hit the spot for me. I love it despite the twitch, despite not generally caring for con-fu stuff, despite not really having a party. I just love that game....

NWN2 - the Toolset is ...

Wee, guess what I saw the first thing when I entered our local EB Games today (the very same where they had no idea Kult existed?) Heretic Kingdoms. For 10$, apparently new. Sheesh, that's a useful inventory clearance, unless they just re-issued the game :) So, hopefully, I will have time to check ...

BG1NPC. It adds 6 romances and BG2-style char dev to all the BG1 joinables. I think Jastey also about to release Ajantis for vanilla BG1 (BG1NPC works on TUTU or BGT platforms).

One of the problems in PRG, imo, is lack of character development beyond level advancement. Yes, sometimes party members ...

BioWARE. The only company that consistently produces the party-based, SP campaigns with a good story, great character development and the user created protagonist of either gender. Except for NWN1 of course. But everyone can slip.

Kudos to Obsidian for making NWN2. But I don't like what they are ...

Whatever you say. But I dislike it when things are done half-ass, and graphics in Arcanum is nowhere near the level of the games released at the same time. For me seeing this autrocity done to the character I just lovingly created is not acceptable. I am not going to pretend that graphics do not ...

I had no chance to make a judgment call on Arcanum. The moment I saw the graphics, I shut it down. It can have the best story in the world, the coolest NPCs - I cannot play characters who look like bowling pins with arms. The day someone adds decent character avatars into Arcanum, I will give it ...

Looking for a voice-actress for a mod: Imoen

Well, Baldur's Gate is hardly a historic work. It's fantasy, and the knightly image in fantasy is romatisised, so I don't see much value in introducing gritty realism in this particular aspect. I have to say that BG1's Ajantis romance fits my expectations of a romance with a paladin much more ...

I have to say that I started to tolerate Anomen after other romanceable options for the female PC became available (via mods). I really disliked him beforehand, but as a non-romanceable he is just a jerk. As romanceable, I could never see that 'change' people keep talking about. I basically had all ...
