  1. The Question everyone wants answered.

    And I'm back! Tried the Public Beta, comments/thoughts below, in no particular order. 1. First off, thumbs up, I liked what I played. 2. The different origins are for the most part well done. I did die as a mercenary, though, in the first combat with the assassin. I get that combat is...
  2. Game News Age of Decadence Arena Screenies

    As a general rule, I'm anti-Arena. The idea of willingly fighting to the death for somebody else's amusement just doesn't make much sense economically. Remember, the original "arena," the Roman Colliseum, used slaves captured in war to provide the entertainment. They didn't exacty sign up for...
  3. Good place to buy Planescape Torment?

    If you're American, Gametap no question. If you're not American, then you'd have to figure out how to be a fake American to subscribe. Beyond that, ebay is your only worthwhile shot.
  4. The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure

    I must have been spoiled by Myst production values and was never wowed by the Darkfall games. The first seemed to take place in a remarkably small environment and had a couple of obscure puzzles. The Jenga board part was nicely done, though. The second had a very interesting sci-fi story to...
  5. Obsidian's new and totally non-Aliens rpg!

    I consider the dialogue in Bloodlines as good as RPGs have ever had it, and I understand that Mitsoda wrote a lot of it. Thats the sort of pedigree that makes you look forward to a game (with MCA's contribution needing no further booster). So yeah, I'm looking forward to this. Actiony combat...
  6. So -- Deus Ex.

    My advice: 1) Pistol and Rifle are the most worthwhile combat skills, and its worth your time to maximize them. Or rather, maximize one of them. They are expensive and maximizing both would be overkill. Rifle is useful in the more obvious ways (sniper rifle ftw), but pistol can be pretty...
  7. Game News A new piratey game from Akella

    In Soviet Russia, the games pirate you! Hey! Somebody had to do one.
  8. New forums

    Huh? Who are you replying to FrancoTAU?
  9. New news posters? I approve.

    Really, RPGCodex should never be a one's show. Not saying VD did a bad job at it, and I'm certainly not backing people who think asinine posts should be given all chance of exposure, but different voices just add more to a site. On a related note, I donated and want my ads removed. And if I...
  10. Review Eurogamer complains about The Witcher - 7/10

    Haven't gotten out of chapter 2 yet, but I've found PLENTY to admire so far. Combat actually feels a bit like KotOR, only you have to pay attention to click at the proper time to initiate the next stage in the combo. Other then that, its select the target and watch the combat animations. It...
  11. Fallout 3: The Gathering

    I get the feeling this was inspired by my post in the AoD thread? Don't worry, I do not even have photoshop on my PC. I do, however, have a program called MtG: Editor. Can't remember where I found it, but a google search should reveal it. Its pretty easy to use, you just need to find a jpeg...
  12. Bloodlines now $9.95 on Steam

    Steam is far from perfect, but a the pros outway the cons in my experience. Yeah, you don't get the box goodies (which now adays is pretty much down to just a box), but it general it WORKS and is EASY to use. Buy a game, its included on your "Games" tab where you can keep track of what you...
  13. Review Mask of the Betrayer Review

    In the past, it seemed to be tradition VD would write an article/review and another admin would post it in the news. Of course, it seems like VD is the only news poster, so that might explain that.
  14. Look What I Found in a Booster Pack!

    Actually, I was going through my disk drive to find stuff to delete, and ran across a certain editor. Inspiration struck and this was the result.
  15. Portal

    Portal is short (3-4 hours main story arch, but also lets you redo some puzzles under more challenging cricumstances), but quite clever. The portal mechanic works flawlessly, and the art direction is very clever as well. I don't want to say to much about it, just suffice to say this is...
