Bioshock games are pretty shooter-like with an rpgish character development system.

Yes, it seems to have been overhyped a lot. It has a few things going for it, namely the no-subscription model and the somewhat innovative questing system, but other than that, I don't know. I guess the idea of skills being tied to the weapon used is kinda interesting as well. In the long run though ...

I came to the conclusion that GW 2 isn't the right MMO for me, it just doesn't have that many things to keep me interested. Oh well, at least I know what it's about now.

I think they will still be enjoyable in the endgame, and these events don't usually take up much time anyway. Usually about 4-5 minutes if you are close by when it starts. I guess if you are max level events will give you gold or karma instead of xp, so you are still motivated to do them.
As for ...

One more thing, the game seems to have some connection issues right now. Sometimes I just can't log in. Hoping they will be able to fix these soon.

One thing I dislike about the GW community is the wide-spread vocal disdain and constant bashing of WoW. I feel it's totally needless and somehow demeaning. Granted, this strange phenomenon has been seen before in other "non-wow" MMO's .

1. Hmm, a very generalized question. What's fun for one person might not be so fun for another ) I am personally having fun so far, although only been playing since Saturday.
2. 2 differences primarily - questing mostly hinges on dynamic events and personal story line as opposed to the traditional ...

PB forum section?

Hello, I was just wondering if its possible to make a separate forum section for Piranha Bytes games. After all there are some major RPG titles there - Gothic 2 and NotR come to mind, and the Risen series isn't too shabby either. Thank you! :)

I ordered a Digital Standard edition from Origin and entered my key that came with it, played fine during the grace period. Now the game asks me to enter the key again, but when I try to, it says the key has already been used. From ...

I'm playing a Level 12 Nord warrior and sometimes I feel the exact opposite. Mages scare the crap out of me (except for the frost kind). Groups of warriors I can annihilate, but throw in a couple fire mages (by far the worse of the bunch) and I am sweating bullets (and reloading more often than I'd ...

Have you seen the master destruction spells?

I can appreciate the fact that magic is much better at dealing with large packs of enemies due to massive aoe capabilities, but it seems like a power attack from an insane slow 2-h. axe or hammer will still beat any spell in terms of raw single-target ...

Yeh, I always quicksave before reading any strange book, just in case I get a skillup in something I dont need. Basically, the idea is to focus on your combat skills as much as possible, otherwise you'll be gimped at higher levels.

More on topic: I done some reading on the subject and it seems ...

Magic users underpowered?

Anyone else feels like magic is quite a bit underpowered in the game, esp. in comparison to a full-enchanted/smithed 2-hander fighter type? I mean, you can get by on Adept difficulty with a mage, but if you want to go higher (Expert and so on) you feel kinda gimped.
This is aggravated by the fact ...

Seems you can choose which hand equips what hot-keyed spell, if you press Right-Left M.button simultaneously with your intended hot-key. Just found this out by accident :)

I feel stupid for asking, but how? Mouse over it and press the button?

The system is a bit complicated. First you need to go into the spells menu by pressing P, then you have to select some spells you use the most and make them favorite by pressing F while in that menu. Then you have to exit the ...

Yeah, most likely. So the best way to level Restoration, I guess, is to find some weak opponent, let him bash on you for a bit and heal yourself. That way you can be leveling an armor skill as well.

@Gavain - It's possible. But I think it depends on the type of spell. For example, I leveled Illusion very nicely by casting Muffle. It seems high mana-cost spells work best for leveling. On second thought, Muffle is kinda an out of combat spell, so maybe you're right. But anyways, you can find an ...
