Howdy, sir! :)

I read you are having a procedure-time again. I wish thee good luck with it!

I'm okay. Sleeping perhaps a bit too little - 5,5 hours a night and a nap during afternoons... But my weekends are sleeping time and game time :)
I made it to chapter 7 in BGEE, it's been quite fun. I feel things have become even more fun lately. That was Sunday, and it will be till Friday I can concentrate on finishing it. I understand taking breaks very well :) I have been collecting books - one character carries all that stuff. Sometimes I read one or two interesting ones. It's such a huge beast of a game. Probably going to take a long break after the main game is finished and play Tower of Monsters or something very different. I love the battles, where you actually have to think quite a bit. And there are many ways to win :)

Thank you! I'm excited to have it done again, should mean lots of feeling better to come. :)
I always have to take breaks from a game that big, but if I break for too long, it'll get too intimidating to jump back in and I'll wind up starting a new character... I've done that with BG more times than I could count. This time, come hell or high water, I'm completing this game. ;)
I also really enjoy the combat. I think it was a system that still needed some fine tuning (with Dragon Age Origins pretty much perfecting it) but I also think it works great just as it is. I did find combat more engaging in Pillars of Eternity, even though they're quite similar, but I think that was just because it was an unfamiliar set of spells and rules and such (and, well, newer and prettier.) But I love how open-ended it is.

Collecting books, yeesh. I gave up on trying to carry them around and chose a room in the 3rd floor of the Friendly Arm inn with a bookshelf to serve as my library. When I have the game open but am not really feeling like questing, I'll head there and read a few more books. There's also a chest there (bottom right room of 3rd floor of inn) that's a great place to store spare stuff you don't want to sell, or anything you want to carry over to an imported save in the sequel (I've read that a few items like Angel Hair rings and those Golden Pantaloons are quite handy to carry forward into a save game for part 2. I've played both in the past, but actually played BG2 first, so I've never tried carrying a character from one to the other. I'm hoping the new in-between expansion doesn't throw off the game balance too much, as I'm guessing it'll up the level cap from the first game...

Cool! Thanks! I didn't know you can carry items over to the sequel :)
Yeah carrying books around isn't that smart... But I've done so many side quests now, that it's mainly money I need to carry around as a necessity - and ended up having quite a lot of it... Not so much stuff to sell, not any more at least. I did have some problems with running out of inventory space earlier though :)

Ah yeah. Pillars sounds very, very good now! :) But... Have to concentrate on this one first!

Also, good luck with finishing BG, I'm sure you can do it this time!

Good evening everyone *big hugs and waves*

Might need some advice on some pc builds i chose. Not sure what which one i should pick:

Also some general feedback would be appreciated :)

Good afternoon. =)

I don't know a huge amount about computer parts, but they both seem good at a glance.
Would check out tech sites, find some comparative tests for the two processors to see which one is ultimately the better item, evaluate what the gaming motherboard has versus the other that merits the higher price. That's what comes to mind.

*big hug*
Well... personally I always prefer intel+nvidea combos, but seeing that you don't have such a configy, only thing I can really say is that I build some AMD based computers for family members and they are working out fine.

*throws a rock through Fred's window*
Power to the Agents!! \o/

-dodges flying rock-

You can have all the frigging power you want, just watch where you're throwing those things! ;P

Hello Elt, Crow, Moon, Agent! And the rest of you as well, of course!

I believe there are only specific things you can carry with you to an imported save in the sequel, you may want to do some googling before trusting me on that. My memory is spotty at best. :)

Pillars was one of my favorite games in a long time. I read a lot of reviews that complained about how boring the story was, but I honestly found it quite interesting. Enough to read all the books and such, like I do in BG. Aren't too many games with that much lore that interest me enough to take it all in. :)

Mission accomplished B-|

Also, hello everyone.

<stumbles in> What the hell is this rock doing here?!?
Howdy all, getting ready to do errands and thought I'd give a quick hello.
*hugs, waves, fixes window*

I'm watching you :P

Hey there. Fortunately, it wasn't a dog this time. But it appears you're still tasked with the clean-up. ;)

I was stuck in lurker mode when I read about that, but hats off to you for taking care of things the way you did. The owner must have been an absolute wreck.

Uh... It was part of a secret mission ,','',':-|
*feels bad for breaking the window, buys a round of hot chocolate for everyone*
And hello yourself :-)
Awwwww :-D *gives panda a big hug*
... *and offers one to Moon too*

You should be ashamed!
<-grabs hot chocolate

I mean, really!
<-throws rock through other window, points at Agent

We could also use some strawberries and ice cream.
