1st person and 3d

About the 3d I cannot but agree with you and I think it's a step they'll have to take anyway. 3d can allow for some interesting options and can look rather good even on medium spec PCs (I'm thinking Warhammer 40000 DOW here...). It could also give more options to the level ...

[QUOTE=CM]It would be considered spoiled to complain about 200 Euros when you have internet access[/QUOTE]

Indeed, I should be ashamed that I have Internet access as a programmer from a third world country like myself should not have that right ...

[QUOTE=CM]The issue is pretty simple. Every body ...

How about that ?

Excuse me if I sound overly bitter about it but how about living with 200 Euros / month in a country where food costs more than in the US ? This is what I have to do and my parents only get 180 Euros a month togheder. Try this for a change than complain about Internet access ...

My life changers ...

Baldur's Gate 1 got me into this RPG playing thing.
Daggerfall made me love it.
Fallout made me kill for it.

The list wouldn't be complete without the following:

Fallout 2
Baldur's Gate 2
Planescape Torment
Arcanum

Two Long Blades for me ...

... and both in magenta or orange. Magenta seems fitting for the Jack of All Trades type that I like to play. Orange sometimes if I play a Consular. I like to use two full lenght swords because the dual wield penalty is no longer such an issue at higher ranks and the ...

If 1.8 Unofficial ...

I only finished the game with the Unofficial patch so I only know that location for sure. If you are using it talk to Yukie in China Town. She is in noodle shop (across the road from the White Powder ? Can't remeber the name of the shop but is the medicine shop with the guy ...

My Linux / Windows dual boot

I use a dual boot with Win XP and Open Suse 10. Win XP is for games only (the games ran under Linux with emulation are running at 50% - 80% of the power of the system and I don't have a system powerful enough to make up for the loss in performance). Open Suse is my ...

Why I think the story is better in Gothic 2 ....

Well, yes, the story in Morrowind is really weak, considering that you are doing exactly the same thing as in Daggerfall who was released back in 1996. Despite its bugs I managed to finish Daggerfall and considered it great. I still do that. The ...

Gothic 2 is a diamond in the rough...

Well is not well polished on the control part and the inventory is not organised too well but I think declaring the game a failure or "worst game ever" is really an exageration. As for comparing to Morrowind I will say that Bethesda should have hired at least ...

Gothic 2 and other - personal opinion

K, this is only what I think on the matter and it all comes to personal taste. Gothic is unique because of the combat system. It's challenging, takes quite some time to accomodate, but is really rewarding. I like the fact that is not only a point & click ...

Heal crippled limb or other permanent damaged organ

You can of course use a doctor's bag but be warned that this is a pretty risky operation if you haven't got at least 50 points in the Doctor skill. Alternatively you can talk to the doctor in Vault City (inside the vault so you have to be a ...

Cheer up, inovation needs the right people...

... to embrace it and dare to brake the established traditions. Sometimes it takes a while untill people grow comfortable with new ideeas. The other end of the situation is that some groups tend to go way to extreme and forget about common sense rules ...

Haven't lost all hope yet...

Well, I hope Fallout 3 will come as a surprise, even with the grim expectations I have for Bethesda, considering their skill (or lack of) showed in the story and NPC creation in Morrowind. And my hopes are really high from an unexpected source: Bourgeoisie. http://www ...

Pritty graphics and little soul

Personally I would preffer the power that today's systems have to be used in development of the AI and imersiveness of the game. Instead of million poligons of shiny 3d I would choose a hand drawn detailed 2d art with an advanced expert system behind it to sustain ...

BG all the way

I would try a cleric if I were you. I did the same tour as you did (BG1, TOSC, BG2, TOB) with the same charcter, a dwarf cleric specialised in warhammer (the Chrom Fayr is a really good weapon). It was really good and the spells he possesed helped me greatly. I also used some mods ...

Keeping XP and getting rid of most of the junk

CM, it looks like you don't really need to switch from Win XP to Linux just yet. Don't get me wrong, Linux is great but the support for populat games is pretty weak and making Windos games run on Linux can be pretty tricky. So my opinion is you ...

Transition and revert...

I have installed Tutu specifically for playing BG1 so playing BG 2 in the same timeframe was not an issue for me. The Tutu documentation however state that you cannot play BG 2 while Tutu is installed. Theoretically you could uninstall Tutu and play BG 2 afterwards but I ...

Maybe this can help...

Tutu is a conversion mod that lets you play BG1 with all the BG 2 engine advantages but I guess you already knew that. About the mods (items, characters, etc.) that are supported in Tutu you should read the Tutu page carefully. Also this is a thred about problems with Tutu ...

Well, I did say it, didn't I ?

Glad it finally worked for you. And I did mention in my second post that you need to install the weidu mods before Tutu (except for Tutu tweak) :

"1. Full install BG 1 ( with TOSC if you have it) and BG 2 (with TOB if you have it) an latest official patches ...

Really sorry

I'm finally back in town (after a week long trip to one of our customers who moved his network) and I've got to say you are really unlucky. The only thing I can propose is to reinstall Windows (XP or 9x) and then restart the whole install process with BG and Tutu. I've finished BG 1 ...
