I agree that the PR and Marketing campaign for DA: Origins took a dive from OK to worse a few months ago. However, you cannot deny the fact that DA: Origins finally got the attention it deserved when Bioware made 'this is the new shit' trailer to premier at E32009. Suddenly everyone talked about...

I have played the demo of the first game, very interesting and great game, I find. There's a demo out for book 1, if you're interested to see how you like it. Apart from other games, pciking a character atually means something; rogues do have more ability to unlock chests and stuff than...

You can go to Warcher's Keep at any level. I'll recommend the first 1-2 levels for your 11-12 level characters; leave and come back later. The game will not punish you for doing so :) As for the key ? (what key? = the ward stone?) I think? it is only necessary to have with you when you enter...

The review for the Lookout mentions that the animations are bad; is this really a surprise now? I mean, the animations for Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 are indeed horribe to worser - and even Redguard whose demo I once played did have terrible and horrible animations. And I thought...

Games bougt at retail stores in the EU have alsways (or nearly always) had a warranty/guarantee period for two years. No EULA in the world can better the laws of any land, including the EU. If you have a faulty product, you can get it exchanged.

Sorry for the snips...but it was these words of yours I really wanted to comment on since it is clear to me that many people obviously think that soldiers are meant to be brawny types with little or no brains at all. Many people also believe that in order to be a soldier you'll need to be a...

ups... You're right... I just checked amazon.co.uk Forgotten Relams The Deluxe Edition seen here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Forgotten-Realms-Deluxe-PC-DVD/dp/B000HIZ7KI has all BG games+all IWD games+Newerwinter Nights+expansions in it. Don't forget to download the free module...

Yes, you at least try and play Baldur's Gate 1 and Baldur's Gate. a little hint: if you carry a certain something from the one game to ther other you get something... There's a package out, at least here in Europe, where you can get all games set in Forgotten Realms; appropriately named the...

With the help from Google(tm) I've found this site http://www.nma-fallout.com/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&t=50285&sid=9190e29768e2c06acb8ca4be5140a559 that tells about Vegas in the 1950's and then some. As you can see many of the hotels like Desert Inn etc. were actullay built during...

There is a difference between writing a novel and writing a game. In a book, a novel or a short story, you need lots and lots of text to explain yourself. In a game, which, I believe, relies somewhat heavily on story-telling in a somewhat cinematic manner, you can show what you else would have...

Here's my suggestions: Temple of Elemental Evil Neverwinter Nights 1+expansions Neverwinter Nights 2+ expansions Drakensang Eschalon: book 1 The Witcher Baldur's Gate 2+expansion Icewind Dale 1+ expansions

I somehow know that 'next gen console' are buzzwords. I was just thinking that the next gen consoles must be the Xbox 720 and the PS4, not the current gen consoles that is the PS3 and the Xbox 360 I have no problem with Afterfall using shooter combat as long as it is good shooter combat like...

Will someone please care to enlighthen me about what 'a tactical simulation means'? I always thought that it referred to a gameplay much like the ones found in tactical (fps) games, like Gears of War or Mass Effect. Or even in Ghost Recon: Advanced Fighther. It seems to be that this tactical...

I know one of two (or more) elderly people at this place: http://www.gameboomers.com that have problems using wsad movement or the keyboard for both. This is due to arthritis and other things that happens to you when you grow old. I have no problem using the wsad and keybaord; I'd rather use...

I remember reading a book on how to wrtite stories manye years back. The best advice was this: 'If you do not know to land, then don't write the story'. It seems to be that neither Todd nor Emil as professional writers have sat down and thought about the ending. Or they did. And wanted the...
