Thanks for the help.

Ooops. Sorry. I'm not good at knowing when things are spoilers. Thanks for telling me.

I have found a cheap copy of Arx Fatalis in my local gameshop, and found it slightly intriguing. It is OK, though hardly a Morrowind.
What does bug me with AF is that it is often very counter-intuitive in its puzzles. There are at least half a dozen small holes and gates I haven't solved, and it ...

I have my favorites allright...

Everyone who has read my posts in the Morrowind forum knows my favorite RPG:
Gothic. Gothic, and to a slightly lesser extent Gothic 2, are top-notch RPGs, with credible NPCs, interesting stuff to do (like smithing swords, cooking etc). The rules are simple and good ...

Personally I loathe all the D&D games. BG1 was allright, it was cute. But the second took itself far too seriously. IWD1 had good soundtrack, and the by far coolest character-pictures of all these games. And that is all I can say about IWD1, really. The plot was silly, and the final bad guy (as ...

Oh THAT place. I found it, on my second game around, by pure chance. Dang I love this game.

Nope, I hade the same disappointing realisation when I played the game. It is just sad.

Find the sonic emitters in the base, and pick it up. Then, when you go out on the ocean floor, you have them as usable stuff (not as a weapon). Use them when the sharks are near, and they'll turn belly up like an old goldfish.

Cheesus... Is there that much romance? I played a female scoundrel my second round, and finished it without a single hint of romance anywhere. BOY was I happy. My male character had to woe Bastile on the Star Forge at the end, but I didn't want to. I really loathe forced romances in these games ...

Exactly what quest is that???

Heh, how do you manage to do that here???

Dinos-shaped beasts seem popular with these games... Gothic has a few of those, and Gothic 2 has several more. And they look like REAL raptors, not just like balloons with jaws as in Morrowind. I wonder why this is so...

Hmm, too bad I don't know how to make skins... An archer or spellsword Smurf ...

That is acutally one of my problems with the game. It's the Jar-jar-effect. You can't fear and laugh at the same time. I prefer fear to laughs when it comes to matters of the Sith. But perchance I am a stiff boring guy who takes the whole Star Wars-saga too seriously...

Yeah, well, that's what you get when someone thinks that D&D is a good base for Star Wars role-playing... Good barbarian heros get away with murder (literally), while Jedi should not. I do not think that picking dark side power should toss you to the dark side, but I do agree that it is way too hard ...

Alas, I merely have right under 1 mil at present. My first character had well above 3 mil as I recall. It is easy to get rich once you are tough enough to make short work of daedric foes, and can get to Mournhold to sell off the loot.

There is no joy in having the money, but there is great strife ...

As far as I can tell (and I don't think anyone can tell you anything with 100% certainty about this huge game) there are no such items to be found in the game.

I agree. Obviously. ;)

But really, the more you feel that you are in a world you can change the more interesting it gets. That is why I love Gothic too, you can learn to forge swords and stuff. I find games where such options are lacking very boring. You get to run around, do heroic stuff, but you ...

You nudist you! *LOL* I prefer to dress as beautifully as possible instead. Mostly that means robes.

Well, the point is that it is FUN to create your own stuff. That it is difficult is just boring.

*LOL* Point taken. I still have a twitchy correcting-finger after a few years as an english-teacher. Sorry.
