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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
