  1. KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Of course player skill & environment factors in, but that wasn't what I was responding to. I've been playing D&D for 30 years. You could give me a kobold character (6 RP) or an oread (6 RP), and give a newbie player a drow noble (41 RP) and I will murder that new player's character, every...

  2. KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    I'm not going to call those people idiots. They might know the math of it. Pathfinder uses a point system to rank each race's power. It was introduced in Advanced Race Guide. Each racial ability/power has a +/- point cost. Here they are for the races given to us: aasimar: 15 race points...

  3. KickStarter Pathfinder: Kingmaker Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    Yeah, I'd rather they simply gave us the goblin race as a playable option than give us a goblin companion. Regardless, I'm glad I got on board. I played through the Kingmaker modules in a tabletop game, and parts 1 through 4 were decent but parts 5 & 6 were garbage. I'm really hoping MCA can...

  4. Development Info Obsidian working on 1 Slam Dunk, 2 Original Titles

    I wouldn't mind a PS:T 2 that was simply like the other Planescape games that have come out (or been rumored) since. There was that Planescape trilogy that seemed promising, that NWN plane-hopping module (Tales of Arterra, or something like that -- I loved that one when it came out), and a...

  5. giving away 3 free copies of Planescape: Torment

    Thanks! Time for an update. :)

  6. giving away 3 free copies of Planescape: Torment

    Nope, no idea. Heard he gave his blessing to someone else who had made a copy of his site, though. But then that copy went down. Anyway, thanks all for all the entries. You guys (or whoever it is that entered the giveaway) have been writing some pretty cool messages -- obscure quotes from...

  7. giving away 3 free copies of Planescape: Torment

    I wouldn't even know how to make a fix pack. I wasn't committed to working with Platter because of the fix pack -- I'm even OK to remove his download and put up some text explaining to people about better options. However, Platter's site did more than just offer a fix pack. His "miscellaneous...

  8. giving away 3 free copies of Planescape: Torment

    To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Planescape: Torment video game, I'm giving away 3 free copies on the 12th (well 2 on the 12th, 1 on the 13th for latecomers). It's just to raise a little visibility for Platter's Planescape pages, a fan site made by Platter years ago, and then rescued...

  9. Dragon Age vs Baldurs Gate 2.

    You are no longer credible to me.

  10. Dragon Age must sell 2 million copies

    Wow. Yes, when you line up Norfleet's quotes, his defense of DA is really quite an indictment of DA.

  11. Review Dargon Age is the best RPG ever

    Well, Hamster or others, what do you think the odds are that there will be a "Dragon Age: Origins + mods" product to hit the store shelves in a year (or less)? I mean, is anyone reading their forums and seeing the developers talk of such a thing? Is there any evidence that there may be a...

  12. Interview Witcher 2 'breakthrough RPG like Fallout 3'

    I know we're all just being bashers at this point, and that's good fun. However, I would note that TW had lots of translation problems. It's difficult to fault an audience -- of any country -- for preferring products with well-done writing over an imported product with a shoddy translation.

  13. Review Dargon Age is the best RPG ever

    You know, I haven't played Dragon Age yet, and in fact have fully intended to never buy it. But I'll take the quote above at face value, and ask some questions. Here are things I like about BG 2. Does Dragon Age have an equivalent feature? 1. In Baldur's Gate 2, I played the game three...

  14. RPG of the year 2009

    You know, if it really bugs Codex natives that DA is winning, it might be slightly comforting to note that the poll is almost self-selecting for DA. By that I mean, when presented with a list of stuff to vote for, people vote for the familiar, so popular shit remains popular shit. But just...

  15. Interview Witcher 2 'breakthrough RPG like Fallout 3'

    I like that they're proud of a game engine that focuses on non-linear quest design.
