I'm not a fan of his idea. If you see a medusa, you turn to stone. I particularly don't like the idea of it being a gradual thing. That would leave the possibility that you lost your save, start suffering detrimental effects, still manage to kill the medusa, then you're stone. It definitely...

I actually kind of like looking at some of his Spiderwick art. I mean, I know it's kid's stuff and all, but he does Fey very well. Banshee

I actually *do* have my original disks....I never actually finished BG II, because I started PS:T and got addicted....I keep thinking of finishing it, but wasn't sure if it would run. I think I got to a part relatively late in the game where I have to rescue someone from a den of vampires. Banshee

I loved the line art drawings of dragons in the Dragonlance Chronicles novels...the chapter opener pictures etc. The pic of Onyx standing on the tomb, of the blue dragons over Tarsis, of the dragon by the hot springs.....I know they were just line art, but they were classic. I don't know who...

Sword the size of a surfboard? Banshee

Since we're on the topic, does anyone know if the Baldur's Gates games (or PS:T) work on Windows 7? Banshee

Black Isle "got it" also.....they did Planescape: Torment afterall. Didn't they also do the Icewind Dale series? Since those glory days, it's been rather downhill, unfortunately. Hasbro's done a miserable job of picking dance partners. Banshee

Splurch, it depends on what you're looking for. If you're really a PC guy, you might want to include the Android tablets in your research as they tend to be a little more PC-like. These are my personal observations. Make no mistake, Flash isn't the only thing Android tablets have going. At...

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is rolling out for the original ASUS Transformer starting today. It'll be interesting to see how it affects performance. Banshee

Don't really agree here. I don't want fighters walking on clouds, or having a punch as powerful as a cannon shot. I'm not a fan of having wuxia in core D&D. A 20th lvl fighter is an expert swordfighter (or whatever). He can carve his way through hordes of less skilled opponents. He's the...

This was what the whole "powers" system introduced in the Book of Nine Swords, and then replicated across all of 4E was supposed to fix. But they didn't have to ruin spellcasters, in order to make fighters more fun. There were dynamic, powerful combat options for fighters as far back as 1st...

This is a big part of it. It's something that annoyed me, particularly with 3.5. All the downsides to magic were gone. Raising/resurrecting became "ho hum". Reincarnation? If the risk of coming back as a badger or dryad or deer was gone, well, it's no longer much of a disadvantage. Haste...

I agree......I liked the detail in the realms. Seems to me like they ruined the setting for 4E, to satisfy those who didn't like it, and STILL didn't manage to bring in new fans. I think they just need to de-emphasize the Chosen and other mega powerful characters. Some of the additions in 3E...

Next playthrough? Are people racing through this game? I've been playing in my small amount of free time since November, I've put about 100 hours into it, and am still on my first character (lvl 35 Nord spellsword). Now, I'm doing every sidequest I come across, and only just met the...

Part of what bothers each person can differ though. Skyrim has some crazy bugs apparently. But I've been playing for 100 hours, and haven't run into very many. A flying dog, one quest I can't finish, and a misbehaving quest with a jester....but that one started working correctly by reloading a...

As I understand it, Steve Jobs wasn't a supporter of the idea of a smaller tablet. How long his wishes control the direction of product development, who knows? One thing I've learned since looking at Apple again is that, due to their secrecy, there are always tonnes of rumours regarding what...

They're different games. I don't think you can really compare them. Like all Elder Scrolls games, it doesn't have a super focused story, depicted in cutscenes, chokepoints in the game etc. But it also has far more flexibility. It's simply a matter of appreciating each of them for what they...

When was the interview when Lucas made this claim? I haven't really followed the issue that much, but I *am* aware that much of Lucas' later work is clumsy compared to his initial stabs at the movies. When he made those statements is entirely relevant, due to the malleable nature of memory...

Has anyone seen the races from the Malazan Books of the Fallen statted out anywhere? I've been curious what the Tiste Andii and Tiste Edur might look like. Banshee

Apparently I've been playing and running the game wrong all these years. Thanks for correcting me. Banshee
