Dude, that looks awesomely complex and fun. What game is this?

It is Emperor of the Fading Suns with a recent version of the Emperor Wars mod installed. It adds a lot of content from the Fading Suns role-playing setting, which I really enjoy. If you like, you can grab the full game with the mod already applied here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/gz9mrujkbv488tc/EFS - Emperor Wars Mod.zip

Oh, and as for the game, I managed to avoid the save corruption business by loading a save two years earlier and playing a bit different. I have saved multiple times since then without problem, and am now at 5050 AD. I think this might be my longest game so far.

Al Malik are spamming Brother Battle, Inceptors and Marauders (!), and Li Halan have almost twice the units I have (but keep sending charioteer transports to their doom - really wish they would bring some escorts, Decados at least have started to do that). Unfortunately, the Symbiots turned out to be pushovers, Chernobog isn't really that tough and they do not build additional ships (though they do rebuild Hives which spam ground units if you leave them be).

Daishan turned out to be a real treasure trove though, several precious energy sites and plenty of ruins. However, what I find myself in need of the most is metal, Hawkwood is quite poor when it comes to metal resources and I do need an awful lot to produce new units, especially ships. It got me thinking that it might actually be a good idea to stay on good terms with the League and abstain from pillaging all their agoras, since they can provide an awful lot of metal through them later on.

Keeps prompting me to run setup when I try launching the game (Win7, 64bit). Ran the registry file that came with the download, but that didn't work and there's no instructions for getting it to work that I can find. I'm dicking around with the registry file that came with the game now, but I figured I'd ask while doing so.

Edit: Tried changing the directory the registry file points to to the one I unzipped the directory to, but no dice there.

note that the registry path has to contain an extra "Wow6432Node\" under win7 64bit

Worked like a charm. Thanks man.

Me, because I consider STALKER as a shitty game.

What's wrong with disliking a potato shooter and liking broken RPGs?

 

[Excidium]

Wait, you actually like NWN2?

 

[Zewp]

Good god, no. If there is a hell then NWN2 would be one of its features.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Wait, you actually like NWN2?

I really dig this game. With the party limit it was a true masterpiece of broken RPGs. With party limit off it seems to be just another KOTOR game. Gotta up the difficulty or something.

 

[skacky]

In all seriousness, STALKER is quite hard to get into. I had to try it 3 times before I got hooked.

 

[Surf Solar]

I dunno man, SoC immedieately grabbed me and I couldn't stop playing it at the first time. Awesome games.

 

[skacky]

The beginning of the game isn't all that interesting and throwing you in the Agroprom with all the military when you mostly have shit equipment at this state is kind of unfair (them being very accurate and deadly). The game becomes absolute incline as soon as you reach the Bar though. That doesn't stop me from starting SoC over and over again with various mods, and each time I do I love the game more and more.

 

[Cassidy]

You can reach the Bar before going to Agroprom if you either pay a fee or kill most boars attacking the Duty's checkpoint in Garbage. At least in Oblivion Lost. Which also added many of CoP features like dynamic emissions, psi protection, the requirement of sleeping, limited stamina, weapon and armor repairs(although very expensive), and it also included an interesting artifact transmutation mechanic where you could take some chances by dropping an artifact at an anomaly, but only at night time, with the proper anomaly being mentioned in a recipe, and it had a chance after some given hours in the anomaly of either becoming something better(sometimes better in a different way), not changing or becoming worthless.

Konjad's alt: Considers STALKER a shitty game. Plays NWN2 OC with a 7 character party, thinks Dragon Age 2 is a great game and the following quote speaks for itself:

Fixed and improved to better showcase why, in case anyone was oblivious to the true identity of that user and unaware of why Konjad is like that.

Tried all 3 games multiple times, bro. No way I can bring myself to like the series. Apart from sound design, of course.

Shit equipment is part of the atmosphere.

You're not a supercommando or anything.
You're part of a group of people who try to make a living by wandering around radioactive wateland where they are shot at by both military and bandits and where physics itself hates them in just leather jackets or homemade rubber suits lined with scavenged kevlar and picking up weird glowing shit that may or may not irradiate them and kill them horribly.

Having to choose between stale bread, vodka or ammo for rusty old Makarov with slightly bent barrel is vital part of the charm.

My first hour of playing SoC was the best time I had with the series, because I was running around the Cordon with nothing but a shitty pistol, trying to survive military patrols and rabid dogs. I still remember the elation I felt when I first got my hands on an automatic weapon. It was broken down and jammed every few shots, but it was an automatic gun and it was mine. And then I got fucked up by the bandits anyway.

I fucking loved SoC.

Yeah, that game's amazing, but fuck hunting those 8 shards.

Yeah I know but the rather brutal start can prevent people from enjoying what I consider to be one of the best games ever made. I dislike mods that increase accuracy like Complete, I like to have shit weapons at the beginning of the game and then become a walking tank once I have an exo with a sniper rifle and a fully loaded grenade launcher.

Some random Zone of Alienation pics. If you haven't played this mod yet you should, it's AMK but even harder. Pseudogiants and Electro Chimeras are common mutants now.

A few images from the new version of No Honor Among Thieves, the first and so far only Dark Mod campaign.

I don't think it means what you think it means, but regardless.

I have an allergy to this sort of mods as well.

Was burned once when I entered X18 and found it full of zombies and shit right from the entrance.

Fucking modtard philistines cannot into atmosphere.

 

[skacky]

The mod forces you to find other ways around because if you stick to the usual safe spots you'll get demolished by packs of fifty dogs/pseudodogs or very powerful mutants. I'm saying these are common but it's not Clear Sky with its retarded enemies everywhere; you rarely encounter lots of stuff. I spent a whole day in the Garbage without encountering anyone but Duty and Loners in the warehouse, with the occasional bandit.

Also I've already been through X18 with a previous version of the mod and I never encountered zombies right off the bat. The lab had the usual monsters, same for X16. I don't know if that changed with the version I'm playing though.

Clear Sky's poltergeists were pretty , though.

[Crooked Bee]

Lilly Looking Through, the very beginning

The first few actions are already a bit too scripted for my taste. I wonder if the game opens up later.

 

[Surf Solar]

Extreme popamole incoming.

This is only on low because when I played the campaign I forgot to update my drivers. The game looks insanely good IMO.

Random MP shot

Incendiary grenades feel useless :<

Game has some nice gunporn.
