Could someone tell me what this expansion has to offer? Any new male-romance possibilities perhaps(I mean males that can be romanced,Anomen is disgusting)? Who´s the guy with glowing, white eyes in the screenshots? Are there any new kits for a fighter?

That would be Sarevok, your old half-brother now an NPC you can recruit.

The only new kit is for the Wild Mage.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

It's gonna take me a year to download Trials of the Luremaster :( (The free HoW expansion due out this month).

EDIT - ok,so it's sad now :D

The underling truth of your statement is more sad then funny. :( :p I heard that Trials of the Luremaster is due out this Friday. If my sources are correct then ToB will be out on the 18. That gives me about three days to pass it before I move on to ToB. The sad thing is I can proably pass any game in under three days. :(

Hmm,you're probably referring to D&D cRPGs.Try to switch the game genre temporarily,try some nice single-player orientated FPS games like Half-Life or Thief 1/2 if you haven't played them allready.I hear B&W's quite good too but didn;t have the time to play it yet.

The thing is, when I play a game I like I don't stop until I've beat it. I don't sleep, don't eat, and rarely use the toilet! :eek: Even if the game is 40 hours or more I can usually polish them off in a couple of days.

Kayless d00d,didn't you ever get that tip screen to remind you to at least eat :D

Ok,I can really understand this,and if I had the time I'd probably do the exact same thing,but then again I got this University thing going,and not to mention my GF's reactions when I say something like "No,honey we really can't go out tonight.Why!? Well...err...I've got something...umm... really important to do...err...yeah....WHAT? you thing *I* would date another girl!Of course NOT babe,r u crazy...well,gotta go now...(aVENGER hangs up & starts BG2) Now Aerie my dear,where were we :D :rolleyes: :eek:

Fortunately for me aVENGER2k, I have a lot of free time for the next few months and can afford to devote my energies entirely to gaming (YEAH BABY!). After about 48 hours of fasting and sleep depravation involved in playing BG2 the first time around, I started to hallucinate. A little Bhaal popped up on my shoulder and told me to kill Regis Philbin. Boo appeared on my other shoulder and told that I should be good and kill Bill Gates instead. Fortunately I past out before I could take more then four steps away from my computer and kill anyone. After I recovered from that incident I started to regulate my gaming time better (though I’ll probably forget this lesson when ToB is released). I suggest you sever all ties to family and friends until after you’ve beaten ToB.

:D :D :D
