[St Antony of Padua]

I really want to play Sea's mod, but I don't want to install DAO.
Is the mod good? Is it worthy enough to install DAO just to play it?

I'm not very far so I can't give you a legitimate recommendation. The battles are two-sided. It seems that sea is trying to make DA:O function better with a diverse amount of skill checks and challenging encounters. This doesn't ameliorate the healing vs. afflicted damage aspect of DA:O. Also, the writing is far superior to the original game; even GhostDog gave props to it.

Thanks, it sounds very intriguing.
I'll play it someday for good.

I see you're running w8. How bad is your 2d performance? Did you try Arcanum or Robin Hood or something similar - those ran like shit for me, so I went back to w7

Haven't had any issues with 2D performance, but I haven't run Arcanum in Win8 specifically. No idea if it was a specific area giving you guff but I'll reinstall real quick and run around and check it out.

Just loaded up Arcanum, and yeah the performance is kinda spotty. The scrolling across the map is completely smooth, but there are some super slight stutters in running animations (Could just be bad Arcanum animations for that) but it's most noticeable when you mouse over dialog options. Mousing over 3 available options causes the game to sputter enough that you see the first selected, then the third, and it skips the middle unless you go carefully.
And of course since it's Arcanum, the elf city dweller kicked the ass of my premade character and Virgil. We were unconscious and being kicked in the balls repeatedly until he critically missed with his foot and killed himself. Such is life in Arcanum.

Thanks.
When I tried Arcanum it ran even worse than you describe. I did manage to improve it in Compatibility manager, to very playable/smooth levels, but it only lasted 5 minutes, when some other process took focus and performance went to shit. I was wondering whether drivers were what was causing it, seems not .

Oh? Looks like shitty as fuck textures to me.

Random ASS SHOT!!

I thought Skyrimson had shit color palettes, but man this game! Games industry, employing blind people since 2000!

I have looked all over the place. Well no not really. But I've done some looking. And I can't find sexy time outfits NPC's wear for me. Shameful.

LOL. TEXTURES?? WHAT TEXTURES???

Well atleast the combat is.. Really nice?

Skills are perdy nice too. Just need to be more of them.

Dodge this!

Passive affect effects are really bad.

Oh I'm sorry, I meant to stare at your fine game ass, but the textures in their awfulness distracted me.

LOL COLORS.

People on boards say you shouldn't complain about graphics in KoA because hey, it's supposed to be cartoony. YEAH I GET THAT FUCKHEAD. But I don't think the colors are supposed to look like a mix of dull and oversaturated neon. Also fuck, textures, what the fuck? This ain't no console grampa. Also what the fuck do you call this? It sure as fuck isn't an inventory management system.

But. Combat is really nice. Hello Skyrim, Todd, take some notes. And MUSIC is well, probably some of the finest music time I've heard in a game in a long time. And it's pretty much all good.

Oh yeah. Some little bitch complained about the VO. No, VO is for the most part pretty good. And I'm amazed with the amount of NPC's in the game, lifeless fucks and dull gameworld aside, that sound different from each other, and it's not even that big a VO cast. Todd, take some more fucking notes. Jesus Skyrim.

Looks like Divinity 2 minus all the humour, art direction and awesome.

And my Skyrim is modded with Requiem, so combat is good.

I frown upon your inane shenanigans.

Anyway, some shots of a very basic non-euclidean map I threw together in ol' UT some time ago just to see if it would handle it gracefully :prosperous: :

Overwiew - the map is is essentially a dodecahedron with opposite pairs of faces identified with each other with pi/5 twist (using warp zones to stitch the geometry with itself).

A burst of DP shots traveling around level.

Self.

A single Redeemer missile traveling around level.

Conclusion:
Old Unreal engine is - as you can see - surprisingly robust and good at withstanding abuse, but player pawn code would have to be modified to make crossing the boundaries truly seamless - as it is it doesn't map entry rotation to exit rotation properly, presumably by not allowing player pawn to roll, even transiently.

I was always sad that you could piss off the Enclave with the comm in the reactor but that when they told you to sit tight noone would come to mess me up.

You should not judge what games a man is playing ; rather, you should also judge why and how he is playing. If a man has just been dumped by his woman, then even being drunk in Second Life is perfectly acceptable social behaviour.

No bro. Just no.
Nice action combat = Dark Souls.
Amalur combat is just too boring and too repetitive after 3 hours.
And I already tried the hybrid classes too.

[Ninja Destroyer]

Playing for the first time, and so far I like it. It's not F1/2 but the looting and combat with visceral criticals is nice. This time diplomacy isn't needed so energy and big weapons will be easier to get. Had some problems with random encounters, moving through the map to do 3 mission was tedious.

Sadly I hardly ever remembered to take screenshots because I was too busy having fun playing the mod.

It's the thought that counts, i guess.

On that note - when posting a fuckton of images, usage of the spoiler tag is nice. Even if no one quotes said fuckhuge post, the lack of spoileraging still makes the post way bigger than it needs to be, and until the thread moves to the next page you have to see the same images over and over. DarkUnderlord, is there a way to implement a "spoiler" button next to the "code" and "quote" ones on the little bar above the Reply box, since most people probably don't remember and/or have the patience to manually insert the tags? My End and Page Up keys would love that.

Have a mighty dump of some Xeen creatures. Half-assed trying to take a picture of every unique sprite I see (Not counting reskins) but I'm sure I'll miss stuff since I get wrapped up in monster whacking.
