When SSI made Dungeon Hack, they copied the monsters (and their stats) verbatim, forgetting that this lovely chap has an Armour Class somewhere close to -10. But then again, EOB3 only accounted for one of these to be around, not multiples...

While I've beaten this game several times (with the difficulty scalers maxed out) I've never been able to beat the game with a non-Cleric character. Everyone else just starves to death. Even worse is that the manual talks about some very powerful set items, I've only ever found ONE item of one set - and of course, it was unusable by my character class!

I have never beaten the game, but i remember going far several times with a mage when i found Vampiric Touch ; basically my HPs never went below the max. But i eventually died being petrified or so...

Yep, getting Vampiric Touch can almost guarantee you a win in Dungeon Hack. It does a lot of damage, and puts your HP over the cap. Bonus HP which doesn't expire when you rest. Abusing it means you'll have more hitpoints than you'd ever need. You can still die, though. There's plenty of instant death to go around.

You aren't using Cow Approved Cheese for a Dungeon Hack cleric. You gotta use two spiritual hammers because they return to your hands when thrown, then turn the game in to Serious Sam and start circle strafing!

That's a pretty good idea. Hammers are probably more useful than Flame Blade, at any rate.

Yup. Flame Blade is melee-range only, while Spiritual Hammers are ranged attacks.

And there are LOTS of monsters you don't want in your melee range. The level-draining undead, cockatrices, THAT GODDAMN LIVING MUCK, etc.

Serious Sam: Next Encounter.
Better than Serious Sam 2 but the fact that's FPS for console.... no, I have no words. Playing FPS on console is impossible, playing on console emulators is pure trauma. There is not enough autoaims that could help you.

Yeah no thx.

Yes, you can create your own version of Licarior from BG2, that can talk, argue, betray (both based on EGO), gain experience and be brave enough to deal massive critical damage.

Wow, looks pretty neat, first time I hear about it. How is the combat and character development?

Combat can be set to auto attack or normal. Space to pause + autopause options. Servicable, nothing to complain.
No level scaling, you will meet tough encounters even on lowest difficulty setting (and you can set difficulty for puzzles too). Depend of the size of your party (and XP sharing) Roshondas may be on different level at the end.
No quest compass too but locations are small (compared to enormous one in BG1) and looking for hidden items was cool back then.
Quests are cool, there is variety compared to Fedex quests, still manageable without guide - logic.

Pretty cool stuff. As far as I can tell, this game is pretty much unknown and yet I found it to be immensely enjoyable!

Another thing: game offers a choice of several playable characters, similar to ROTT. Now, one of those characters is... a catgirl. Yeah, I'm not kidding. That, combined with the possibility of playing in third person (which is actually pretty useful, 'specially for platforming), equals this:

Behord, how masterfury she dispatches her honorabre opponents with utmost speed and eregance!:thumbsup:

Also, somewhat surprisingly, I had no issues with the Steam release: no need for additional DOSBox configuring, patching or anything like that.

Fallout 2 + Restoration Project.

No reason to play vanilla version any longer. One might point out many disadvantages, including unimplemented content or numerous bugs. But lack of good ending for intelligent mutated chameleons: that's the deal killer.

Once again the end game content cracks me up. So the devs are blessing player's effort with drops of urine and coarse laughter. "Game over, get out of your basement, moron!"

Found it funny in 2000. Gives me creeps now. Poor guy wouldn't even succeed. Criteria of acceptance in so- called "Fallout 3" reject everybody except deformed retards.

My PC stares blankly at one of doom sayers on the street. This time it's a true herald of incoming decline.
