A proof that Rebecca is only a voice in Adam's head.

No quest compass?

Mad, innkeeper?

After a frustrating time with Master of Magic, I went through some forums, including the GOG subforum for the game, some wikis to try and decide what builds are successful for people like me i.e. with no skill I ook 11 books in Death Magic, summond a Death Wraith ASAP and the screenshot is the result of one Death Wraith later...

The last stategy that I had a lot of fun with was Chaos Magic + Knolls.

Could you go into detail with that? I am always looking for more fun strategies.

 

[Renegen]

It was months ago, but it's a hyper aggressive early strategy. Chaos is just a really powerful magic school I find, none of this bs where you buff your gold generation and population growth, you crank out Gnoll units extremely fast and buff them all a little bit and use offensive magic to win battles, the hellhounds are pretty good too.

SUPER PANDA MODE
Although he looks more Pacific Islander than East Asian. Can't get squinty eyes in this game...

Suddenly, everything below the belt is significantly enhanced. Watching him glide through the air in this position must be for me what autorunning to objectives in Scarlet Blade is for heteros.

Ah, how the games of old pushed us to do crazy things to alleviate for our mistakes (which they allowed us to do back then). So many memories. Nowadays kids would probably turn the game off, delete their pirated copy, and rate it 0/10 on metacritic or something.

No better way to teach player not to swing their weapon around like a retard than not letting them get some tempting trinket as a result of destroyed scenery.

Those Hexen screenshots.. How did you make the game look that good?

 

[Zeriel]

Modern resolution + AA, prolly. Not that hard. I far prefer Hexen's style to Hexen II, though.

Actually, save for AA and anisotropic (which can be forced from outside of game), it looks pretty vanilla, the only noticeable difference being glows around light sources, so I'm guessing it's just HoT with vanilla assets.

Hexen II + Hammer of Thyrion.
I turned shadows off, however. They would add a lot to the game, but instead, they break it (enable them and see for yourself).

The vanilla game looks good as it is, especially with software render turned on, but I'm too lazy to mount CD image each time I want to play with music turned on.

Found the Codex's favorite dev on a custom Assault map (ut2004)

 

[Daemongar]

It's like I am looking at proto-Donte :D Kind of looks like him too!

He reminds me of Anakin Skywalker. Also it's a Duke Nukem quote ffs

He is more like a flesh and blood Anakin, one capable of showing emotion. Also, Duke Nukem stole "Blow it out your ass" from They Live!

I'm really fond of Realms of the Haunting and I still play it ever three years or so. An adventure Doom 2 with some unique puzzles and a well defined story. It isn't constant fighting, as there are a lot of areas that are quite peaceful. Great for explorer-fags and adventure-fags alike. Also supports 648x480 resolution, which is a nice touch for a game that old.

Try Uhexen port.

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Congrats on making Doom look like shit.

 

[skacky]

Ugh those hi-res textures look like shit.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

Try Uhexen port.

Try JSHexen instead, for people which consider vanilla too browny.

That does look pretty good. I'll try it out when I get around to playing Hexen 2 sometime.

Most of the fight was spent south of the helicopter inside a blanket of cover via smoke grenades. From there I just vanquished anything I sniffed out by blindly throwing nades over the smoke, or waiting for said smoke to dissipate and shooting everything in sight.

Dead guys in the middle of the street are from bad gunfights happening in smoke cover. One of the guys on the ground actually survived with two HP. That gave me chills because there were a few 'corpses' I ended up disintegrating with grenades...

All men and women on this mission were rookies from my 2nd base in Jamaica. People from the 2nd base are woefully undergunned, underarmored, and inexperienced - very little of which can be afforded to them cheaply or easily.

The very next mission they went after a large UFO that had been downed in the area. It was, ultimately, a terrible idea. Giant terminator robots wrecked havoc on them. One of my men thought a fallen tree was a good idea for cover. But, as it turns out, a giant alien plasma cannon doesn't care for human nature or Mother nature, because it vaporized that trooper into a pile of goop and turned the fallen tree, the corner of a barn, and a nearby stump to a bunch of embers...

Xenonauts, I think.

Battle at Harran's pass.

Nice view.

Equip the ring.

Even the mighty Demon fell before my spear. Seriously, spear is a great weapon choice for this fight, you can keep him at a distance with its passive ability (chance to interrupt the enemy advancing towards you with a spear jab, I think I had around 50% at my current spear skill level) and with a "balanced" weapon upgrade (requires high crafting skill) fast attacks with a dori (long spear which has a 15% to hit bonus) cost only 3 APs.

Stats and inventory after the Demon fight.
