@C.E think it's pretty deserted all round sym right now. Why anybody would want to pursue other avenues of their life I really don't know.

Anyone still here?

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 10:08 pm

Hi DW and Gwalchmai, I'm still here. What are you two up to this beautiful morning? (evening for you, I suppose)

Hello CE and Gwalchmai,
Evening here , it's 10 pm. I'm currently alternating between checking in here and playing SOA/TOB.

Good day to all

@C Elegans-Hello again

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 10:19 pm

Hi again Brink,

Hi DW, here it's 7:15 am and I'm alternating between posting and playing Planescape:Torment. But today ToB is supposed to be released in Sweden, my husband promised to get it for me

Hi Brink.

CE, what is Planescape Torment like? I saw it on sale at the local computer store when I went in to get ToB.

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 10:27 pm

Hmm...I'm running BG2 (without ToB

) in the background, typing an e-mail and checking in here

.

@Dragonwench-Heya

.Planescape: Torment is a great game (much better than BG2 IMHO in terms of NPC interactions

)

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 10:30 pm

DW, I just started yesterday, so I'm not sure. Progress is slower that BG2, much more focus on story and talking (ie reading dialogue text). But I like the setting and the concept so far

Gwalchmai · Post by **Gwalchmai** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 10:31 pm

I'm just catching up on everyone's spam from today before I go to bed. Haven't played BG2 all weekend.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll invest in a copy of PLanescape. Of course, just like many people I'm also pretty intrigued about Never Winter Nights, I was sure that it would have been released by now, but I must have confused the release date with ToB.

@Ladies and Gwalchmai

- I have to go take my bath now.I'll see you all in awhile

.Have fun in your respective games (sorry Gwalchmai

)

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 10:55 pm

See you Brink, take care

DW: I think you try Planescape, especially since you would probably get a copy for a small sum now. It was never as popular as BG, and it's about 2 years old now. I'm also awaiting NWN, but last release date I heard was either this September, or March 2002.

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 11:00 pm

September or March for NWN? There's hope for my thesis yet

.

Gwalchmai · Post by **Gwalchmai** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 11:11 pm

The preview of Planescape looked cool. But my wife would kill me if I got another computer game right now. I still haven't told her that I got ToB! There's a lawn to be mowed, books to be read to the children, shopping to do, dinners to cook....

(We need an 'arrgh!' smiley)

C Elegans · Post by **C Elegans** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 11:22 pm

@DW: There's hope for my dissertation too! Nah, not really. CRPG:s, SYM and my husband will postpone it to the year 2013.

@GM: Can't you get your wife addicted to BG as well? Then you can play multiplayer mode

Brink · Post by **Brink** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 11:27 pm

I'm back

Gwalchmai · Post by **Gwalchmai** » Sun Jul 01, 2001 11:31 pm

Nah, my wife doesn't like the D&D stuff. She likes to read romance novels. For computer games, she enjoyed Myst and 7th Guest. She's a problem solver, and very good at it. But she considers me to have a greater imagination - which you need for RPGs.

One reason that I'm addicted to SYM is that I know that most everyone here has an appreciation for RPGs like BG2. Even if we don't talk about BG2 specifically all the time, I know that if I make a joke about cooking with a semi-sentient +5 spatula, everyone would get the joke (however lame). I don't have that kind of connection with any of my real-life friends.
