Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
This is the reason why I think that the text layout of Disco Elysium is a better solution. (At least Disco's devs thought with their heads):

Yes, you right. Shadowrun did the right thing, before Disco.

Another proof that Pillows of Eternity was just blind cargo cultism that missed the point, copying IE conventions without thinking about them.

Not just them, but any that copied the IE-style dialogue box without understanding why it made sense on smaller 4:3 monitors. They're definitely not the only offender.

A game that I enjoy playing but where I absolutely hate the way dialogue is presented is Star Traders: Frontiers. Utterly horrible:

Fully stretched along the middle of the screen at widescreen resolutions. When you get longer paragraphs of text, it's really bad to read.

"Take off your dress"

What mod are you playing?

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
A dance with rogues.

Spoiler: your character gets raped.

It's an unavoidable plot point.

Your rapist becomes a romanceable companion later on.
If you want to romance your rapist, you shouldn't be a slut, because he dislikes whores.

That dialog window design is such a joke. How can you play the game like that?
the EEs really didn't have much to go with, with regards to art:

Just stretching it would have been terrible, it was designed for 4:3 screens not 16:9 at much larger resolutions/size.

Bullshit, play widescreen mod and UI mod in a proper resolution, which means more text on screen at a time (which is good, it's way better than not being able to see all dialog options at the same time and constant scrolling, especially in a text-heavy game) while still perfectly readable, and none of that shitty decoration, which doesn't fit at all and makes an otherwise still beautiful game look like shit..
Sure, if you choose too high a resolution, the text gets too small, but if choose correctly, the result is way better than shitdog's abomination, in that it's an actual improvement over the original.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Pics? Also, did you see if fixing that script issue meme (a dot was missing making the aliens dumber IIRC) actually works?

Sadly, I didn't make a pic of that. There are tons of glitches compilations on yt though. Perhaps there is one including the one I described. As for the second, I think you mean the PecanEngine.ini file and fixing "PecanGame.PecanSeqAct_AttachPawnToTeather" line? I had to do this, because without it there is almost no challenge at all. Due to the levels building, and how many encounters are scripted, it can take some time to see the real difference. Aliens can still behave in a really silly way, but at least they are putting more effort and are more aggressive.

Time to add some pics.

Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition


After being traumatized by how bad was MK 4, I forgot about the series and just replayed original trilogy. But MKKE is really good, very fluid animations, quality assets, good sound and music. The story mode is more fleshed out, and being a re-boot, they've made it more coherent and included most of my favorite characters. Fatalities are easier to perform, and adding X-Ray hits makes it even more brutal. The final showdown with Shao Kahn was really intense. Surprisingly Kintaro wasn't so hard, as he was for me in MK 2. Also, I want Jade to sit down on my face and finish me.

Very shitty that it is no longer available in Steam. I still have the game on another account so that's good I guess.
