I remember Aummon Animal being very OP in BG1, so Sarvok was trampled by a single cast, that spawned a lot of wolves.

Some quick shots of updated Dungeons of Aledorn demo... There's some UI improvements and a Cave Battle on hard mode... Just tried once and game saved me by crashing before getting my ass kicked hard...

Approaching first enemies...





Second group...


Lol, remains of skeletons of previous battle are at 10 o' clock...



Oh, i didn't realize only the sneaky guy stood still... Nice!


Lol, game froze here (still escaping to desktop worked), not that i had a chance...

Grab it here.
Play it and fund it, it would be a shame if this fails (and it's likely to happen since campaign is on stalemate).
At least divert Seven Dragon Saga funds here!

The last party member finally joins the Blood Ravens. Now they can finally do some sanctioned purging thanks to the =I= license.

RK47 That is probably the best party ever

I'm trying to improve the party, any advice?

Finally! Here's the definitive argument why magic casters are superior to non-magic casters in DnD and the like.

That's a Chanter. He's chanting the buff.

Speaking about that - how is that game?

Along with Lo Wang's katana, Gene Simmon's The Demon's axe is da most satysfying melee weapon in any fpp shooter.

Summoner 2 to the end.

Spoiler

(not-so)Final battle was a joke. There were few control poins and flags but all you do is to send troops on enemy gate, kick the ass of the incoming reinforcements (3 humble waves) and call it a day.

With all moves unlocked fights become somewhat interesing rather than snorefest.

Nice touch - Yago, the old Joseph companion - wearing his peasant clothes.

Actual final battle. No damage to him, my ass was stomped.

WITH THE COMBINED POWERS I BECAME THE MECHAMAIA!

HHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.....................

Other companion of Joseph, Yargo's daughter. Not her final form.

But now!

This bossfight was total popamole before next console generation adopted that art of fight. Cover behind, dodge out and shot. On pad in FPP mode. Yuck.

I guess that's some reference to other game or something that I forgot now.

Closer to the end - the amount of bullshit intensify. Mechalarvas? Oh and that icon in the middle is to handjob the pad stick. QTE elements before they spread in modern games.

Pre-credits ending

Spoiler

TOTALY NOT PST.

TOTALY NOT M&M

she's also glad this shit is over.

After credits ending.

Spoiler

No shit, you get possesed and doubled the time required for playthrough of Summoner1 with your ruse. Thanks sucker.

Sorry geezer, some german opressor took ur IP and there will be no sequel. Not to mention all that SJW garbage.

That's all folks.

The two absolutely crucial components of good, long lasting 3D graphics (other than less tangible things like art design) are crisp textures and good use of lighting.
This game shows why.
By counterexample.

It was a good game in spite of thoroughly raping the first Summoner.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Aye, it was way different, like DA:O and DA2/Mass Effect (yet Summoner series are way superior to whatever shit Bioware produced since mid 2000-s).
Pity that Summoner 3 was cancelled, but I can't put my finger on how awful it could be.

Also, Summoner 2 soundtrack sucks in comparison to original Summoner. Even the worst tracks of original Summoner are better than every track in the second game, apart from the Halassar Palace Theme. When Summoner was mostly filled with memorable music (minus the crap produced by Wally Shaw), Summoner 2 is filled with boring loops left and right. I could appreciate nicely crafted ambient music, but Wally Shaw proved to be one a shitty composer again.

 

[BlackAdderBG]

That's true ,we don't

 

[A user named cat]

Finally beat Thief 2. Great game overall despite the engine quirks and clipping issues. That final sabotage level was hellish in parts, those rooms of mecha doom were designed for torture and reloading. Glad it's over, I never want to hear Karras and his robot children again.

[A user named cat]

So which game has better fan missions? Thief 1 or 2? Honestly I don't think I've ever even played the first game, can't remember but I only own the second. I did see there's that Shadows of the Metal Age expansion for T2 but not sure if it's worth playing. I know SCO has a sticky here for other fan mods but it's a lot to dig through.

 

[Kirkpatrick]

If you haven't played original Thief, do so. Mission wise, it's superior to Thief 2, though the Metal Age had some outstanding classics. What I mean actually, there are consistent wave of great missions in the first game, while they are more sporadic in second part. More mediocrity there.

As for FMs, most are for Thief 2, though, there are some good ones for The Dark Project/Gold.

T2X was quite enjoyable to me!

 

[Alienman]

There is no horror elements in thief 2 right?

 

[A user named cat]

Not really, just the haunted library from that Casing the Joint level. Also you encounter a couple weak catacomb skeletons that are easily dispatched. Other than that, the closest thing to horror was having to listen to Karras and his annoying robots. Anyway just installed Thief Gold, TFix and Sound Enhancement.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Actually, Thief 2 has two more 'scary' sections: A holy relic kept under eternal guard beneath the chapel in Sheriff Truart's house, and the sunken galleon on Markham's Isle. I counted a grand total of 8 Undead enemies in Thief 2.

As for Fan Missions, we have a stickied thread here in General Gaming, but the rough division is this: T1/Gold missions tend to be rough around the edges but have very atmospheric settings and bold ideas. T2 missions are more "solid" and various texture mods have sometimes ventured well beyond what can be considered 'Thief-like'. But in general, your taffing adventures have just begun...

 

[Baron Dupek]

Never get wrong with Skacky's FMs.
Oh, and there is The Dark Mod which FM only.

Shit, I forgot about the pirate ghost. I grabbed that treasure and ran past him swiftly into the water, he was pretty tough if you tried fighting him.

I'm just starting on the first level of Thief Gold. Got everything set up the same as T2 including openal EAX sound. Made my way into the Lord's mansion and can already tell the maps will be much more expansive here if this is any indication. This is pretty damn big for an opening level especially compared to T2 though that game certainly had some large maps. Honestly I'll just be satisfied not having to deal with annoying mech's again.

No mechs in T1, but there are cameras - and they're nastier than the ones in T2.

Speaking of mechs, what did you think of the spider mech they snuck in at Soulforge?

Oh no, not cameras again. I wish you could just multitool them

I didn't have a problem with the spiders actually. There was even a large factory room full of them but they were easy to outrun, not very accurate once alerted. The bomb-throwing bots were much worse especially once they entered Terminator mode. Their accuracy was deadly. Had to make some mines to take out a bunch of them.
