@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.

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

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.

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

)

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

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

.Have fun in your respective games (sorry Gwalchmai

)

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.

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

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)

@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

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.
