well, arent we all waiting for the fricking two towers anyway??
besides, isnt deus ex 2 due out around that time??
thanks, littz, been on the morrowind forum, might even stay longer and not defect to nwn if i like the new hamster mod i downloaded...
replaces avatar with giant hmaster, will have to start new game with name of............
"BOO"
you knew that was coming,
immie relationship mod and chloe what i am looking foward to...
"bad bun bun, bad bunny!!!"
and if chloe orimmie come out soon, i shall reinstall and finally see if this works...
install soa, install tob, do NOT install tob patch, and see if you set the wild surge numbers manually on a wild mage, if you THEN install patch, is the surge number locked still???
if so, bun bun ver 4 will be a
kensai wildmage cleric with surge numbers locked into
"no save, cast normally" or "cast at double strength"
and then upload to this forum....
"bad bunny, bad bun bun!!!!"

some of us were born to be cheesers....
heck, i've been hacking games for years, now, and derive as much satisfaction from hacking them as playing them...
in real life, i was the tech who came up with almost all the crazy assed innovations and squinty hacks to keep networks and servers up and running, and people handed me the jobs where finess counted squat compared to getting stuff up and working FAST...
and they always went...
"here is another crazy assed andrew fix...looks ugly but it works..."
actually, this is begining to sound more fun...
push bun bun to the ultimate uber class, one that totally perverts everything bioware tried to do...
i mean the patch disabled the setting of surge numbers, right?
so create and setup a character pre patch and then patch and then have the surge numbers locked as the best effect you want...say, i wonder if sk latest version allows you to set the surge number???

(Olimpia is the "Italian" name for "Xena's sidekick", if anyone's wondering)
Definetively I have a thing for short haired girls..
Still, I have to say that I like the portrait you made very much.
My female druid's avatar looks really very much like Olimpia, vith the leather armor and the staff and short blond hair and... everything. I'm seriously asking myself if I should not use it instead of the standard ones!
Oh, Immie is your FIRST love??
Ah.... uh.... ehm...
Where do you EXACTLY live in Italy?!?!?

Sorry I lost it...
..."Candlekeep", not?
(If you were asking about real life, just ask again and you'll get the "real" answer

I disagree here.. the main concern of a translation is to suggest
the original feelings and images to the foreign reader.
A name may have evocative power in the original language, and
none in another, for example.
Just take the LotR translation, it's perfect: heroic and ancient
names are untranslated, but the common ones (many hobbit names)
are translated to give the feel of a "familiar" background.
I like it! just my PoV
Sorry I lost it... ..."Candlekeep", not?
Uh.. ah.. you meant that way!!!
Of course!!!!
Me too!!!
So you don't live alone on a mountain, or something
like that!

Eheheh, "made"?? let's say "collect and cut"
What are you waiting for, change the pic immediatly!!!!
hhm, I may add this one (training shot), if you like it!

So back on topic: what are you planning Quitch????
You won't end hurting little Immie, or turning her Evil or something?!?!?
Beware....
You have only that little Kingdom/Island of yours to hide...

I see your point. (But... does that mean we should call her Olimpia or Gabrielle?)
Ok, ok: "Renee O'Connor" should do...
So you don't live alone on a mountain, or something

Actually, a small city near Turin... non as lonely as a mountain but ... ahem

Beware....
I won't be doing anything, it's the player who does things. I offer the options and write the consequences.
If you wish to embrace her at Spellhold, whisper into her ear with a familiar voice that everything will be alright, then slip your knife into her belly revelling in the look of surprise and pain on her face, then you're welcome to try.
You might be slightly more sentimental though, embracing, weeping, giving her a kiss on the cheek you're so happy to see your little sister again, then planning your escape.
It's really up to you. I just write Imoen.

to hear that you've already done working on the mod and the 5months post was only a joke would be a good surprise
but quality is what important after all even if it takes alot of time to do it!

*Littiz becomes sad*
In these days I'm enjoying the game much less...
I'm not even playing that much in truth...
I know what I want, another run with my Kensai/Mage!!
But I CAN'T without the Immie Mod!!!!
Imoen is too silent and hollow!
I HAVE to wait!!!!
So the starting save, already prepared, remains there, waiting...
And the other parties are not the same thing..
Maybe I have to take a break
We want the Immie Mod

@Littiz
Have you played PS:T, I really love this game so maybe you should also try before the MOD is ready?

I was kinda joking anyway...
Still, planning an ultimate and fulfilling run through
the game, the Immie Mod is, at this point, necessary!!!
Bioware left really a big hole here, praise to Quitch who
decided to repair this.
Yes, I also played, and loved PT!!
I probably will do as you suggest, I will play it again:
the problem is, english was really HARD in Torment...
I lost half of the sense, and fun...
But now, a group of HEROIC modders have made a TOTAL italian
conversion, anf the quality of the translation is WAY better
than BG2's (which was an OFFICIAL translation...
now I play it in english, go figure!!! )
Praise to the modders!!!

Could you point me to anyone who would be able to translate the Imoen relationship mod to Italian when the time comes?
