Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

    Yes, but by resisting the desire to romance them, you would unlock the option to desire the owner of the brothel, herself, which would also kick off a bitchin' cutscene of Grace in a cocktail dress in the shower.

    And think of the possibilities of co-op: While Nameless One is trying to get out of the Mortuary, Morte Two could be chattin' up to corpses, nec-romancing the hot ghouls for phantasmical sex achievements.

    Torment doesn't work perfectly well, I have to run it in a window through D3DWindower unless I want it to freeze and crash any time I cast a spell. I've seen other people have issues with BG and BG2 as well.

    What's even worse is that he namedrops Planescape 2 and mentions wanting to get MCA to help with it. :smug:

    Wizards of the Coast/HASBRO own the rights to Planescape Torment.

    They own the rights to the game itself? There's more to it than the setting.

    Yeah I searched just for Planescape. doh! Interplay actually owns it....


    My (limited) understanding of copyright laws are that after 7 years of the copyright in a DEAD stats, one can renew that. Er something like that. In this case.... someone could buy them? Though there could be an on-going renewal on it at the moment. hmmm

    EDIT: then there is the having to deal with WotC/HASBRO who more than likely would require that if someone did a new game, it would have to be an AWESOME AKSHUN GAEM!

    On the off chance that you'd fancy a PST play through, I find the spell-freeze issue is easily fixed by turning off hardware acceleration. Should you use Windows 7, the program DirectX Control Panel will allow you to still disable it despite 7 typically not allowing you. I have never tried D3DWindower however, and know very little about whether it is an acceptable solution for you or not.

    Meh, I'm note entirely certain (I'm not into IP law) but someone could fund a kickstarters and buy the license in a defensive move against these fuckers, eventually lease it to Obsidian.

    Imagine the compelling multiplayer dialogue that could be incorporated? You could simultaneously convince and dissuade the Awaiting-Death to/from committing suicide, breaking a rift in the space-time continuum which leads you on a new multiplayer specific sidequest where you have to reconcile your various versions of The Nameless One with a battle to the death! After that, the game would just be the singleplayer experience it should have been with five spectators.
