Hey, the US version seems to have a much less gay box art.

 

[Malakal]

So is this still bad or have they patched/fixed it?

 

[CrusaderTemplar]

Oh, I get it.

[Pseudofool]

Is this being sold in downloadable form anywhere?

 

[JarlFrank]

So does this now work without horrible lag on higher resolutions?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

What's up with that dude's hair?

Supposed to resemble a dragon's "fin" or horns, I think.

Shame he just ends up looking like a frat boy.

 

[dr. one]

The most favorite part of the game is the many bugs that causes your character to be stuck and resorting to previous savegames (if you made any or start all over again)(I have encountered 3-5 cases where I have to resort to using a previous savegame.) Also, angry 360 console users complaining about "no respawning enemies" = Not a rpg. /points http://www.larian.com/forums/ubbthreads ... 12&fpart=1

Blatant lies.

Whoa.

WHOA.

Blatant lies.

If only the NPC spawned in the right location except on the other side, I would have been happy to not resort to a savegame =(.

1: NO LOOT FARMIN
2: LIMITED LOOT
3: LIMITED GOLD
4: NO GOING BACK TO OWN ENIMES WITH YOUR NEW WEAPON
5: LIMITED LEVELS

I edited my starter post so people could better understand what NO RESPWANS MEAN.

OMG, That's pure gold!

 

[bat_boro]

That's obviously a troll, and a pretty obvious one, too.

I mean, you can't be that stupid, no way in hell could someone be THAT stupid and at the same time full of himself.

 

[CrusaderTemplar]

Don't forget the "I want my money back"

I agree with point 4. When I level up my character, I want to feel like he's more powerful, not just barely able to keep going on.

That was a problem in Oblivion too, with its level scaling. And you all criticized it. There's no level scaling in this game, but the problem remains, because the game has a linear structure where all enemies get stronger as you get stronger as well.

Bah. The official forums are full of kids. Just take a look at the posts, no one over there can spell for shit.

I've read about a dozen threads there, and it's quite depressing.

No, they don't, because the game offers nonlinear exploration, so you can miss a low level area early on but find it later and easily own everyone there.

Also, there IS some limited level scaling in the game. E.g. a group of mobs can be as low as level 8 and as high as level 12, but they won't scale any further. Additionally, there's damage scaling, that is you do less damage to mobs that are several levels above you. This has a side effect when mobs that are about 5-6 levels lower than you can't damage you at all.
