The bold is the important thing. How they got there is not terribly important. Only if they are competing with the other group. Which is probably a far more 'wrong' way to play the game than going hack and slash. No it wouldn't. People will play as they want to play. DMs will generally...

It usually seems to just lead to more trouble though. And it becomes quite difficult to justify why a Paladin would ever be around people who were acting in a way that would raise his ire (or worse, are Evil/outright criminal people), even if the players are mature enough to avoid sending the...

The only thing it places value upon is whether or not the encounter is defeated. Extra awards are solely on the descretion of the DM, as the game doesn't care how the players decide to solve their problems. Because such things aren't really all that critical as a rule. The XP system is...

The system rewards defeating encounters. How the DM permits the group to defeat the encounter, and what tack the players actually take in dealing with it, is not something the rules can do much about. Ideally, you'll get the same XP from diplomatically defeating an encounter as you would from a...

As much as I like Paladins, I must admit I don't think they are a good idea in most groups. From all I've read, and what I've experienced first hand, most players don't want to have to 'sacrifice' their freedom in action to accomodate the Paladin in the party. Regardless of their own...

Pretty much where I sit. It would take something rather severe and immediate (a PC *will die* if I continue blundering along, etc) for me to allow an objection to interrupt the game. They tend to take too long as it is :p It does have to be a botch on my part though, and not a whine because...

References to such upgrades are merely flavor text.

I'd honestly be surprised if many 'Eva-isms' make it into the movie. I plan on seeing it for two reasons: 1) (hopefully) Great visual effects 2) To see how badly they mangle the series :p I'm expecting an Eva-inspired mecha beat-em-up, that does away with or conceals the pseudo-religious...

I'd probably go with Evil. But then, I tend to be somewhat biased against the Neutral alignment.

Alas, I see nothing that encourages me to return. Decent game, before it became uber-repetitive.

I'm no Windows expert, but as far as I am aware, passwords and user accounts on the non-NT OSes allow for little more than for each user to define their own Desktop and Start Menu settings and organization. There is no effective difference between user profiles in the 9x versions of Windows...

If it truely needs an Administrator account (which seems very odd to me) to access your service, then I don't think you will be able to do much more than create another Administrator account for your dad. XP Home doesn't let you do a huge amount of user tweaking (so far as I have discovered)...

I will rarely, if ever, allow Evil characters at the start of a game. If a character develops into an Evil character in a plausible way during the course of the game, that's a different story. But I'd rather not risk having someone go nuts, and ruin the campaign before it has even really begun...

Windows XP Home Click Start->Settings ->Control Panel Click Performance and Maintenance Click Administrative Tools Double click Services Scroll down and highlight "Messenger" Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties. Click the STOP button. Select Disable or Manual in the...

Just copy the files from your Favorites over to your new Favorites folder. The Outlook thing may be a little trickier. Assuming it uses a similar method as Outlook Express, you should be able to copy the files to C(or wherever):\Windows\Application Data\Identities\big long string of letters and...

I like this response: My video card can beat up your video card. Nyah-nyah! :p

Four, it seems (and there won't be a DVD option). I didn't notice anything about a disk swapping option, but that's not exactly the greatest alternative to simply installing the whole thing anyway... Hefty game either way, though. How much of that is handled by the video card may well be the...

I hope that 4 GB of memory is spent wisely. I have a lot of space (120ish GB), but I hate seeing that much get wasted. Takes too long to load, sucks up system resources, and takes time to get rid of. That said, the art looks very impressive. I hope my own machine is up to the task, despite also...

Moral: Don't judge a book by it's cover, or desire to kill you and steal your stuff..

Hmm. Possibly. I'm not really sure what he's using right now. The bonus to damage from that completely escaped me. Just goes to show that disused knowledge falls easily by the wayside, I guess.
