Neverwinter Nights!!! I've always hated the Diablo-type game, but this game shows promise. Plus there's like over 1,000 modules for it. The graphics are cool, probably that's what's addicted me. Anyone know where in Victoria you can find the Gold edition of NwN for uber-cheap?!? - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 5:05pm

Check Electronics Boutiqe(sp?) Griph. Got mine there for about $35-40 if recollection serves correct. Also grab Hordes of the Underdark expansion. Makes NWN 10x better imho. EB price matches as well so if you find a better price, I'd still go there and tell them where. They also buy/sell 2nd hand games, although you might not find NWN 2nd hand due to reg key issues. - Mon, 14 Jun 2004 6:21pm

I'll probably get the expansions when I finish solving the first adventure. I did that once with Warcraft II, bought the game and expansion at $70 a pop and never got around to solving either. It shouldn't be that much money, though. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 1:06am

Well if you're looking for the gold version it allready has the 1st expansion in it ;) Either way you can still play it linear, if not tempted to jump ahead ;) Just hope to hell none of the rumors about MS buying out Bioware are true. Game'll go into the toilet at that point.

What classes are you playing or have played so far? - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 8:51am

I know... the one thing I dislike about these type of games is that it takes hundreds of hours to really get anywhere (good thing I'm not playing EverCrack). I only play at night (when the sun isn't out). Well I just started playing a few days ago, so I've experimented with the ?/Fighter classes. (think I'm playing a dwarf/fighter, fergot what the first character I created was.). The system is really well done, but the first version sure is buggy. - Tue, 15 Jun 2004 4:13pm

It amazes me that some people apparently have at least 10,000 different characters in this system, it's pretty OK, but nothing to get overly obsessed about. But the original AD&D was like that too. :( - Sat, 19 Jun 2004 12:52am

I've been playing Counter Strike a lot the last few days, FIRE IN THE HOLE! I fucking suck, haha... I'm buying it today so I can install it at work when I go back. - Wed, 23 Jun 2004 9:56am

I've got a bunch of friends who were hardcore Neverwinter Nights addicts, and now they are all seriously into ShadowBane. You can't get those guys to stop, unless it's to leave the house to go buy some more weed.

I'm a Counter-Strike junkie too...sorry to admit. I just can't seem to get enough of that game. - Wed, 23 Jun 2004 1:21pm

Yeah, I'm stuck in NWN at the moment, it seems if you keep trying to get past a certain point, somehow you defeat your enemy on the third try. I dunno if there's anything more open ended for a RPG-type system as there is with NWN. There's a ton of modules for it. - Wed, 23 Jun 2004 10:59pm

UT2K4 looks like a lot of fun, but I really didn't like the Quake 3 online play, and I dropped a ton of cash on that game. But I'd love to play NWN online, and go through an old school AD&D adventure, that would be cool. - Wed, 23 Jun 2004 11:43pm

Oh man, theres NO CONTEST between Quake and UT, Ut flat out whips its ass in every aspect!



But on the subject of RPGs, anyone tried MORROWIND yet??

I got the game and it is fuckin ripper!

The games so massive and involved you get dropped on the map with the charecter you design and you just have to go about your business being whoerver you want and doing whatever you want!

Personally, I'm a "Destruction Battlemage" so in other words, I go around hacking and slashing various weaklings and blowing shit up with magic explosions, what good RPGs are made of and no ultra cheese shitty plotline i'm doomed to follow either!

*Oh and I murdered a family, who's house I now use to stash all the shit i've lifted of corpses, tee-hee* - Wed, 23 Jun 2004 11:47pm

LAN>online play for most FPS'. Totally burned out on FPS' though. Played them far too long (quake 1 test to quake 3 Arena. Pretty much every FPS that came out during that time I played.)

Played Morrowind when it was 1st released and hated it.

If anyone likes RTS type games (Warcraft, starcraft etc), grab Lord of Everquest. Really fun game, and no it doesn't cost any monthly fees like EQ does ;) - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 11:03am

I'm a flight-sim junky, and about twice a month I like to drive really fast and kill ganstas in GTAIII. I try to keep gameplay down because I know how many good computer addictions there are out there. - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 12:26pm

How could you hate morrowind?

*factoring in the fact that freelance designers like me have the ability to create new places and things to do at any time*

You know what game I hate??

Final Fantasy - That is the gayest game in history. - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 1:40pm

Yeah D�d[]Sanger, I'm the same way myself, but somehow I'm lawful good all of a sudden, go figure.

Play MMOG's for a while and Morrowind is a joke in comparison. FPS engine used to create a wannabe RPG. HTH do you RPG by yourself? You don't and that's one of many areas it fails horribly. - Thu, 24 Jun 2004 5:25pm
