I played through as a Malkavian and thoroughly enjoyed the weird / stealth / ambush style. Although I expect I would have gotten more from a more standard playthrough first, only peeling back the layer of reality afterwards. I feel that I needed to be more intellectually engaged with it, rather...

This is a bit of a thread necro, but I don't see any newer discussions about NWN:EE that are similar. Having recently gotten back full throttle into the Neverwinter Nights community, thanks to the Enhanced Edition, I have to say that for multiplayer NWN:EE really has given things a new lease...

Planescape: Torment. Discovering certain things along the way about yourself, your companions and your history/present circumstances was heartbreaking. In part because it was your (the Nameless One's) fault, in some way, shape or form. Hard to do that without being preachy or breaking the fourth...

It's about time someone took the designers of Ultima VIII and IX to task, so good interview. Sarcasm aside, those are in fact good examples of what he's addressing, i.e. the fact that game design is very difficult to do completely right, given all of the components that have to work...

Ladder deaths from the original Half-Life.

I just bought King of Dragon Pass again. I still have the original disc somewhere, but it was worth getting the latest version off of GOG.com for $3 to avoid any potential Windows 7 install issues. This is a completely unique game that I still haven't completely beat. Neverwinter Nights...

I have sympathy for your situation, as the group now sounds like a burden rather than a benefit. If you're in multiple groups and have other things going on, it's easier to just drift away without being hassled about it. It's a bit ironic that the breakup with the ex happened on Facebook and you...

This is pretty bad sh*t. (By the way, before reading the topic I assumed that it was the usual type of "friend" with a problem, but you don't sound like you're from an Islamic fundamentalist family.) The fact that your friend is under such tremendous pressure and already cutting himself...
