I'm playing Wasteland 2 right now, and I'm loving it. Exactly the kind of classic, old-school RPG I love, with turn based combat. and lot's of places to visit. It's a blast. I'm just afraid my team will eventually get slaughtered, because I waste to many skill points on non-combat skills. Still, I always prefer being able to find other ways outside of combat in RPGs.

Yep. Wasteland 2 is an amazing game. A worthy spiritual successor to the Fallout series, which it also grandfathered. So the relationship is complicated. :D

Thanks for the info.

Just so you know: 1.) The Co8 modpack most certainly does NOT fix "all the bugs", as the modpack's developers themselves have freely admitted (though there's apparently someone else working on a way to fix some of the things that even the Circle of Eight couldn't; can't remember any details right now, but there was a thread about it in the game's GOG forum); 2.) Even the more basic of the modpack's two versions (called "standard", as opposed to the "new content" version) still adds/changes a fair bit; and 3.) The "Keep on the Borderlands" module is, as far as I know, not included in either version of the Co8 pack, but is a separate download (though I think it might require the modpack, or at least its front end program -- not sure there).

EDIT: The project I was thinking of is referred to as Temple Plus (or "Temple+"). Some basic info can be found here.

I think you misunderstand what a troll does...

When someone says "[thing] is boring", it's generally understood by all to mean "I find [thing] boring". It's a personal opinion, in other words. They don't need to agree with you, they don't need to like what you like, and no amount of ranting or insulting on your part can make them do either. SO CHILL.

I've bought Morrowind here on GoG, but I really don't know why. There are so many things that I loved and hated about this game when I played it the first time round. It really does have a magical world which is much more imaginative and less "realistic" than the worlds of Oblivion and Skyrim but oh my god, it has one of the worst inventory systems of all time in a computer game ; you are left wondering where that quest was located that you accepted, or (if you completed the quest where the hell the guy who would give you the reward was located (if he's still alive, that is)). I remember when it came out that I was thinking that this was a flawed masterpiece, but it was SO flawed that I really couldn't be bothered with it at all in the end. I also found it unfocused and boring, if strangely enchanting. It's one of those games I have always had a love/hate relationship with, but there is no way I could give it 9/10 in its original state - more like 7/10.

Two things for Oblivion quickly come to mind. First is some of the hell portals required to continue, get harder and harder and harder, and felt impossible to beat unless you shoved the difficulty down to ludicrous levels. Tried leveling to like level 10 or something but then the monsters just got stronger. Ugg...

The the second was this same bandit. A Kahjiit bandit who insists you pay him 100 gold or he does bad things. Leather armor, a club, etc, sorta expected. 20 levels later, same bandit that I killed before, except now he has all glass armor and weapons, and he's still only asking 100 gold.

Yeah, if it's one thing that killed it for me (besides nerfed magic/enchanting) then it was everything leveling with you making you feel like you made no progress in strength really.

Good details, thanks.

That's fine. As I said, I'm annoyed by the way snowkatt talks about anything they don't like.

Well, excuse me, but are you sure you should even be on the internet, then?
I mean...

It's just her personality -- she seems to find joy mostly in complaining (and is hardly the only such person among the forum regulars). I've learned to ignore her polemics unless she's actually being a jerk TO someone (especially someone who doesn't deserve it, like a forum noob), rather than just griping ABOUT something, as was the case here.

You have a good understanding of Rule #20 of the Internet. "Thou shalt not take anything seriously."

Actually, that's Rule #1 of Life. B-)
