... to take a couple of MotB shots for the contest? I hope you understand that I don't really give a damn about which one of you losers will win an erotic picture of Chis Avellone masturbating, but I do want to create some awareness and *show* people what the game has to offer. Show, get it? As in showing them some pictures. So, stop watching porn and bitching about stuff and get me those fucking pictures. I want to have at least 10 before the week is over, and I'm counting on everyone who ever posted positive impressions here.

Do you want more of such games or what?

Nobody cares Vault Dweller, so shut the fuck up and stop masterbating over Mask of the Betrayer.

VD I would be glad to post some pics, but all that I have now are only some random in-game screenshots from MotB plus broken videocard.

As if a stupid contest is going to make people buy a product from a shit company. And to play MotB, you need to own NWN II, which is shit! SHIT!

If nobody participates, does that mean I can win with a random pic?

There's like a month left of contest time, shillax.

Edit: What if I just take a big bunch of dialogue screenies. I'm not sure I want to restart to get to the big choices but there's still a lot of mini-choices in most dialogues.
Dialogue screens are fine.

This screen would be fine, for example, as this conversation can only happen if you devour Okku, talk to the hill tribe, agree to send some humans their way, and leave the area instead of sending them the girl.

First, there will be people who would post pictures but don't have the game yet. There's no need to be rude.

Second, how is posting pictures going to help more of such games get made?

There are plenty of people who got the game way before I did.

It will create awareness and interest, which would lead to more sales.

I haven't really had time to pirate it yet, but I'll see what I can do about it

Wait...people still play rpgs? I thought we just bitterly remembered better times when people made decent games and we had the time to waste on them.

So in order to participate to this contest, you are supposed to have 2/3 of the prize already? LAFFO

Well, I'm just assuming this mind, but wouldn't the review and the good reports from several of the other threads on this game be more convincing than some pictures. I thought that people on the Codex were generally NOT graphic whores. :wink:

I have a save like thirty seconds after doing the thing I'd like to, er, screenshoot, and nothing earlier. I don't want to play through the entire game making all the same choices necessary to generate it again. :P

Well, the copies are signed and thus have a sentimental value. Alternatively, you can do it for teh kidz.

It's not a "show how awesome the game looks" contest. It's about showing different choices and consequences.

I lack the wit to put something hilarious here
But how can you truly know the consequences of your actions unless you replay the game and see how it would have turned out had you chosen differently. Plus its a bit spoileriffic for anyone who hasn't got the game = people you are trying to sell MotB to.

There are some things that are so dependent on what you have done that you just know they were the resalts of your actions. For example, if you get the [Devour Spirit] dialogue option chances are that's because you did the quest to get the [Devour Spirit] ability.

It's true though that you have to play the game at least twice to see how most things would have turned out if you had chosen something different. Still, it's a rather small game so it's easy to play it again and you can do so many things differentely that a second playthrough won't be boring at all.

I only gave in to the hype yesterday. Once the thing gets here I'll be sure to take some shots.

I'm getting a copy of NWN2 with my vid card, so maybe I'll get MotB too.
