Re: The Next Game

Re: Bugs/Errors/Exploits/Typos/Glitches (possible spoilers)

I hope you guys won't kill me, because this bug can give you infinite money. Which might have ruined my game, so I'm using it only once. Here it is you slackers: When you kill the scorpions at rock hammer mine, you can get the 300gols from the dwarf there(forgot his name) every time you start the di...

Re: Baldurs Gate EE Controversy-Very Depressing

Could someone please explain this thing. I have searched the web for answers but I can't find out why they removed it. because there isn't, no one but the people involved knows the answer as to why, and they can't reveal it because of non-disclosure-agreements. meaning confidentiality is legally bi...

Re: Baldurs Gate EE Controversy-Very Depressing

what's the extended edition does better than the original? you can still play BG2 and its expansion. its pretty decent graphics and sound, more over if you compare it to indies.

Re: RPGs that influenced me the most...

just remembered the even older SSI's- pool of radiance, secret of the silver blades, curse of the azure bonds. all the gateway series also. I just love that tactical hex combat, in the good old D&D setting. i even heard there are remakes of them from the "dungeoncraft" engine, but i ha...

Re: games that are as close to eschalon..?

yes I've tried AoD, the camera movements are a drag, and I actually couldn't progress very well with it. I think it's a decent game though compared to what's out there now.

games that are as close to eschalon..?

I've played avadon's demo, and it was the closest in the "feel"(but something about the graphics wasn't immersive enough like eschalon?).
I've tried avernum, but couldn't get myself into it.

anyone recommends something? there's probably a thread somewhere?
