  1. Interview KotOR PC interview at PCGameworld

    but in Fallout you didn't know about the master till the end, you were just looking for a water chip for your vault. and, in the end, you could join the master (via dialog). in KOTOR it seems the big bad is just an ever present thing looming out there, throwing his cohorts at you at...

  2. System Shock 2 Curiosity

    System Shock 1 was great. it's amazing such a game came out so long ago and made almost no big splash. one of the first FPS engines to support high resolutions SVGA. thief, deus ex, quake, and ultima underworld all combined with tons of atmosphere (except Shock had no dialog or NPCs)...

  3. The Issue of Roleplaying

    no problem with sticking to DnD canon out own free will. that's fine. and so far, it's worked without any threat of official pouncing on a module and ripping stuff out according to some vague rules. but hey, it's their IP property, perhaps they want to expand the market.

  4. Game News Paradise Cracked hits the States

    Discp2 was pretty tough as far as similar games go. tough as in you have to find good spell/unit/items/leaders combos and start expanding early. plus, I suspect on higher difficulty levels computer cheats like crazy and has bonuses as well like they always do. it was pretty involving. on...

  5. The Issue of Roleplaying

    maybe it'll be the last nail in the DnD-based CRPGs' coffin and we'll see more CRPGs with original licences. these "shall not do" rules are bound to scare the better developers off. people have been riding that great nostalgia bandwagon for far too long.

  6. Game News Paradise Cracked hits the States

    I don't really mind all TB. it just depends on how it's implemented. as I understand all action happens inside rather small (by RPG standards) city block sized maps. or, maybe some factories. I don't think you have to click end turn 100000 times just to walk from city A to city B on some BG...

  7. The Issue of Roleplaying

    WOTC/HASBRO/whatever are off their rocker (if they do have a rocker) how/who are they gonna figure good and evil, since they will not trust the author's vision? the most delicious plots are the ones where it's damnably hard *looks back with shudder at the agonizing alignment threads on dnd...

  8. Game News Paradise Cracked hits the States

    yeah, the press release is a bit over the top, and it may suck (although it'd be hard to beat the latest crpg offerings in terms of sucking, TOEE excepted), but whatever, I'll get it sometime after I get tired of ToEE. there's nothing else with lasers and robots and blue haired dude with spiky...

  9. Development Info Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna dev diary #2 at RPGVault

    isn't this supposed to have at least these amazing graphics for an RPG? wow, I just looked at the screens at the bottom of the article, and man, this looks like total ass. every character is made of 3 polygons, the textures are a washed out mess, the figure proportions are all out of wack, and...

  10. Review GamesDomain reviews up some ToEE

    the NPC followers in TOEE are generally wacky. they get their hands on treasure and loot before the player party. always. and you can't control what they take or sell off. including quest items. doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to what they do. in general they are a pain in the ass...

  11. Paradise Cracked review

    hmmm, even though I've never bought/missed a game based on a mainstream review, I sometimes find them useful as a source of information. in my experience, a useful way to gauge a reviewer's opinion on a new game is to find a review by the same person on a game I know something about first-hand...

  12. Good news for the old skool FO fans.

    but they have effecitvely announced the game and created expectations by all this forum activity. except, they've done it in clumsy, noobish way. people are analyzing developers' desktops and photos of the wall in their coffee room for crissakes and talking about FO3 on the forums. yet, it's...

  13. Good news for the old skool FO fans.

    yeah, animations are too hard... heh, is anyone at Bis managing this thing? I'd never heard of Fallout before I walked into a store and bought it. now there are all these 'underground' threads from somethingawfull.com and slashdot about an 'unofficial' and 'unannounced' 'game'. wink, wink...

  14. Anyone here played Gothic 2 yet?

    I hope there are no spoilers here. okay, just spent some time in it on my break... so take my comments lightly ;) very raw first impressions... gameplay - very positive. it's been greatly expanded. more options (like brewing potions, ), much more NPCs, much larger game world, graphics...

  15. Anyone here played Gothic 2 yet?

    got it in the mail this morning. haven't had the time to play it. hopefully over the weekend. btw, in the US you can order it from www.gogamer.com (got the hint from rpgdot) they import the UK version which is the same thing as the forthcoming US version except for packaging (DVD case but...
