Save up and upgrade to Win7, bro.

 

[El Stormo]

Haha "woman friendly game". But yeah, you really can't go wrong with Bioware.

Yes you can. Neverwinter Nights 1 original campaign. *shudder*

Vampire- Now that's a game I've been looking into. No Vista issues?

None whatsoever. Install Wesp5's patch and it's stable and expanded. It's on Steam now for a reasonable price.

Max-Considering my video card is soldered to the motherboard it doesn't seem worth it. I will upgrade PC's eventually.

Stormo-Ordering now.

 

[El Stormo]

Excellent. Look for Wesp5's unofficial patch on the official Steam forums (stay away from Tessera's patch). You'll need it to play the game, and it also restores a lot of cut content. And say 'hi' to Jeanette from me!

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Thanks man, I appreciate you handling my endless questions.

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

The replayability of DA amazes me. I've completed the Origins campaign 3 times now, and started a new one as a Dwarf Noble Rogue

Bloodlines deserves being explained

I would wait till black friday deals, it will probably be like 5 bucks knowing steam.

A caveat on Bloodlines - if your system has more than 2GB RAM or you want to use widescreen resolutions and aspect ratios without godawful stretching then some tinkering with the game files is necessary.

yeah when i downloaded it to see if i would have those problems it did that and thats why I haven't bought it yet.

It's not all that cumbersome though. I got it to play after a few minutes.

I know what I doing.

 

[Lord Foul]

Oh I agree, just hex editing binary files isn't for every gamer. That game was released in poor shape and the result was the end of Troika.


On unrelated news, Steam, Impulse and GOG all have the Age of Wonders series now. Great turn based strategy in the spirit of Warlords and Master of Magic.

 

[El Stormo]

No need for hex editing. I'm pretty sure Wesp5 has an easy plugin that'll fix both the memory and widescreen issues. I don't remember what it was that I did, but I remember that I got it done in a few seconds.

The Witcher was awesome... up until my hard drive crashed. Then I didn't have the heart to try to get back to the 40+ hours I had logged into it. I really should get back to that.

Morrowind is a must, Oblivion if you suck at RPGs.
Gothic 1 and 2
Neverwinter Nights 2
Mass Effect is basically Dragon Age in a sci fi setting.

I've tried Oblivion, and couldn't get into it because I see no end in sight. Progress was too slow, and I need more gratification from a game if I'm going to spend so much time playing it. BUT I will look into the others, thanks a lot. I've been told that I should play Morrowind, I think I will try that asap. thanks!

The Witcher. You and I seem to agree on most games, so this is the game I definitely recommend. The combat system takes a bit to get use to, but once you do it is super fun and it has a great immersive story.

Thanks, I'll look into Witcher. Do you like Lionhead games? I played Black & White and loved it, and also Spore.

"Dragon Age".

And I'd recommend anything Bioware, really. Mass Effect 2 is definitely worth trying, but play Mass Effect 1 first, both are exceptionally good games. You can always try The Witcher, it's excellent but it's not exactly the most woman-friendly game. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is a bit older, and you need to install an unofficial patch to get the most out of it, but it's definitely a game every RPG fan should have played.

Thanks, will try!

ehhh morrowind might not b for you then.

I read the review for Medal Of Honor and I feel really bad for the company that made it. They put soooo much into the promo and hype for it and it was hyped up everywhere yet the IGN review gave it a 6/10. ouch.

Also on topic Morrowind is fucking amazing, I remember back when I first played it and was blown away by how many cities and characters and things to do there were, I must've put at least 100 hours into that. Once I get my computer upgrade I need to go back and play Oblivion and all the expansions, Mass Effect 2 and all the DLC and replay Half Life 2 and all the episodes; the suspension is killing meeee

 

[Psychonaut]

Only about ten days 'til Fallout: New Vegas to end that dry spell?

Ahhh crap. Forgot that was out this month too. As I can only get one this month, it's going to be a toss up.

I, for one, will have spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle.
