Now hand me that Zinger, bitch.

I prefer a Hawaiian burger. Pineapple is good on everything!

Whenever I'm in SA, I love going to Mugg & Bean.

They're okay, massive slices of cake. Bit boring though. Not

How's the job hunt going?

 

[Jaesun]

I'm upping my pledge because inXile are not fucking stupid enough to make a shitty MMO.



That's my protest to Mr. Gariott.

Sucks a bit, and it seems you are no longer allowed to shoot your girlfriend if she takes too long on the toilet so we're not sure about the move anymore. If you got any monocle places to recommend, feel free. Think we'll go around christmas again. And to keep stuff on-topic.. uuh.. ZIETS!! yay ^^

Torment 2 isn't going to use tiled graphics, so don't see how similar mood tools to shadow run are possible.

Hmm, any idea on how mod friendly is the Unity engine overall?

Mod tools no. 2D backrounds yes. Shadowrun video looks better than Wastland's despite having fewer money. Not that W2 looked bad but the truth is 3D CAN"T compaire to well done 2D. At least i haven't seen a game that managed it.

This sunday they will be doing a live developer gameplay walkthrough of the game, can´t wait to see it in action.

Why do people care so much about mods? People can't write, nothing a modder ever made is well written. What's the point?

I think it depends entirely on how the developer uses it.

Although, I've heard stuff about light maps and how that makes it hard to add assets, but I don't know much about 3d modelling, so it's beyond me.

U5: Lazarus?

 

[Jaesun]

of Jasede.

 

[JarlFrank]

There are fan missions for Thief out there that are better than the originals.
New Bethesda games are vastly improved by mods.
I never played any because of the shit engines, but I heard there are good NWN and NWN2 mods.

Modding ability always is a huge plus. Sometimes, you even get modders that are worth a damn.

 

[Jaesun]

Nothing can fix Bethesdas shitty games. Nothing.

Coming from a fan of Dark Soul who couldn't play the game on PC without the work of a player.

 

[LeStryfe79]

Fan made mods are a very good idea for a PC game based on a new PnP setting.

newfags always forget to put points into codex lore.

It's not a dump skill.

Jesus Gaysun, stop acting like a fucking teenager.

fuck man, you totally missed out on at least a dozen badass NWN mods didn't you...

 

[Jasede]

Okay, Lazarus might be the one exception. Usually mods are poorly written otherwise. I can't even stand the Thief missions; they always seem to break the mood.

Usually the problem is the lack of an editor or a guiding vision. Also, if 90% of the mod are consistent and 10% are not, it is so jarring that it just seems unrefined and hard to endure. Well, tastes differ. But mods? Not for me!

I haven't played Lazarus so I didn't think of that when I wrote what I wrote.


Strictly speaking, what does mod support add to the game, other than fan-created content that is hit or miss (often miss)? Determined fans will mod the game anyway, support for mods or not, and the existence of fan-content has no impact on the quality of the game itself.

If anything I'd like a developer to focus his energies on his creation, not on support the minority of fans that might want to alter it (to add nude models and sex animations, if Skyrim is anything to go by).

Lazarus had good writing because the main writer for the mod was a brilliant PhD who now teaches at Harvard.

 

[jewboy]

I just took a gander at Lazarus. Looks interesting. Is it a decent game by Codex standards?

Mods greatly improved BG2 for me. SCS II, BG2fixpack, and BG2tweaks are all mandatory now for my BG2 playthroughs. Dungeon-be-gone and some of the mods that make Chateau Irenicus much harder and a lot more interesting are very nice as well.

 

[Jaesun]

Lazarus is one of the best Ultima games ever made. And it was made by fans who LOVE Ultima. And it shows.

You do need a copy of Dungeon Siege (with the latest patch). It's well liked here by all the Ultima fags here.

 

[Longshanks]

I've gone from initially dismissive to a definite backer. Not for any one promise or feature, but simply because there seem to be good people working on the project who are serious about what they are doing.

And CMcC may be a better fit for creative lead than MCA .

Same, they have put all my fears to rest. Either Fargo is one hell of a hustler or this truly is an RPG dream team. (probably both)

And CMcC may be a better fit for creative lead than MCA .

I don't know about that exactly, but I feel much better about this than if it was Obsidian doing it. Look at that sweet statue, now I want to find out what kind of creature that is (Forgotten One?). Could Obsidian even have designed such a visually interesting character? Considering they had the once in a lifetime chance to make ANYTHING they wanted, and all they managed to fumble out was a poor man's Dragon Age... The Wasteland 2 demo also looked better than anything I think Obsidian could do. Even the writing. It wasn't some literary tour de force but nor did it pretentiously try and fail at that as usual with Obsidian. It was more natural and strangely immersive, reminded me a lot of Fallout 1.

Why is Obsidian so mediocre compared to BIS and Troika, and now apparently inXile? Lack of Fargo's pimp hand? Is it just because Sawyer is such a sperging faggot?

 

[Infinitron]

The Wasteland 2 demo also looked better than anything I think Obsidian could do.

People here were sure, absolutely sure, that Wasteland 2 would look like utter shit, before they saw that demo.

I think you might want to draw conclusions from that occurrence before hastening to judge the quality of Project Eternity.
