For the love of god someone tell him that if he doesn't install drog's patch this time he's gonna run into quests and shit that crash the game and can't be finished, maybe that'll change his mind. Also Tim is a must.

What the heck are you talking about? Weapon durability is a great and realistic game mechanic.
Maybe if you're up against something made out of fucking stone you shouldn't use that super-expensive magic sword but resort to other tactics. You're just butthurt because you was forced to have another strategy against them, rather than just hack through anything you meet.

I wonder if his decision to pick up the LP again was inspired by Crispys latest action.
I would recommend him to just blog about. It's more interesting. And less embarassing for him.
And I remember there's still a wasteland novel waiting to be happen...

Exactly. What I did was to simply put all weapons away and just use bare fists. Since all my party members were carefully chosen neanderthal with titanium bones, I easily dispatched all the golems without much fuss. Also, if you've ever been to a RL under-mountain dungeon (they're all more or less the same) you'd know that they tend to be long, tedious and boring. The game is realistic that way, it's just that some people can't handle realism.

Watching him to fail IS fun.
Exactly. Same with the so-called imbalance of magic. I don't get why people complain about "Harm" being so good at harming people when, you know, it is a spell whose only purpose is to snuff people's life energies out from a school of magic which solely studies this.
Serious mode: Okay, the Harm spell is pretty imbalanced.
BTW, you lose HP when you punch stone golems, so you must have had a good healer...

Or he is just trolling you all and has finished the game long ago.

That might be entertaining as well.

He does seem to have rather mastered the art of trolling the 'dex, so I wouldn't put it past him.
I played a gunslinger, which of course was completely useless against the golems, so instead I used throwing weapons (which don't degrade at all) and changed from turn-based to real-time mode. I could just make my character run away while clicking on the golems as fast as I could, which allowed me to deal pretty much continuous damage (you don't even have to wait for your chakram to return, you can instantly throw it again over and over again so that it looks like there are half-a-dozen different chakrams in the air at the same time) without them being able to pose any kind of a threat.
I do have a soft spot for the golems, though, even if their existence is the last nail to the coffin when it comes to the chance of MCA ever finishing the game.

Lots of options to deal with golems. Explosives, spells - guns are trickier, but I belive the more high powered ones did some damage to them, even if they did eat bullets like crazy. You could also grab a throw-away melee weapon, or sneak by.

I hope Avellone has been training his story-fag abilities. I'm currently in the midst of my first significant playthrough of this game and oh lawd let's just say I'm gonna boot up some 7.62 after this for some halfway decent combat to get the taste out of my mouth when I'm done. I thought the comments about the combat from reading the forums here were likely exaggerated somewhat. Nope. Absolutely dreadful.
The exploration and story are great though and its the only reason I keep playing.
My only gripe outside of the combat perhaps is that it is hard to keep focused on what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm playing the game without any spoilers aside from asking for some general hints here in the Shoutbox (thanks guise) so I'm just sort of wandering around the map trying to discover locations and breaking and entering people's houses asking them if I can wash their dishes and whatnot. Most of the time when I find a dungeon I have to save scum somewhat if I want to proceed because of rape and no level scaling.
I am getting the hang of pulling mobs to my party though (playing as a high charisma/persuasion character) so that has helped me avoid save scumming. I just wish there was a command to get my party to stay put 20 yards down the hallway. I can get them to move but they want to run back to me. Infuriating! Ah well... Its still not a bad game for the most part. In fact I will probably do another playthrough eventually. Probably as a mentally challenged ogre or half-orc. Or maybe something off-the-wall and unconventional.

Fixed. It's not even good trolling. It's just dull.
I wish they'd get Tim Cain on board with the LP. Even the occasional short guest appearance and some sparse running coomentary would've made this infinitely more watchable.
