Not Nordic specifically. The people who made the game are called King Art.
King Art was never a part of Nordic splitting from GOG.

All the other stuff is still gone.

Also, I just sat through a fucking musical number, and now I want to drink.

CarrionCrow: I've heard complaints about a few different items, but not that one.

What about it strikes you as being so bad?

EBToriginal: It's an adventure/RPG cross breed which on paper sounds cool

Major problems:

More than 50% of the skills you see during character creation are never called for anywhere in the game's code.
Anything you can do can be done better by any and every NPC you can recruit. Even the 15 year old run away that dies if you are mean to him in a conversation.
Due to the voice track and subtitles not matching up, there are various points in the game where a clue is given either in one or the other. Which is awful because you can't have both text and voice at once.

Have an indepth of what's wrong too. http://lparchive.org/Bloodnet/
Ah, so it's a broken pile of crap.

I'm figuring it's here because it was an attempt at an adventure/RPG hybrid, not because it was actually good at what it was attempting to do.

What does the time of day have to do with it. When you gotta go you gotta go.

Oh wait, you're talking about the game.

They run the exact same DRM free trailer on Steam, whoops! :-)

LOL. However, I think many Steam users believe Steam is "drm-free" so...

AgentBirdnest: Looking through the new games...
I've never really played grand strategy games. I've mostly been into small-scale strategy games.
If I were to ever give it a try, what game(s) would be best for a newbie like me?
Imperialism 1 or 2.

Oh wait, was you talking about the recent Paradox grand strategy bundle? Probably Europa Universalis or Crusader Kings. Definitely not Hearts of Iron.

From what i've heard about it from a friend. It's very unintuitive to get into while also being very complicated. So not a good game for a newbie to start with.

EndreWhiteMane: I need a small amount (2GB or less) of online/offline storage to use for work. I currently use DropBox, which I'm happy with, but I'd thought I'd check and see if anyone here has any recommendations of a service they feel is better.
Needs to be accessed by about 6 people and have automatic sync when online. Any ideas?
What about an external hard drive or USB drive?

(Personally i don't really trust this new-ish cloud services like dropbox for storing data.)

I'd laugh at that if I didn't see droves of people who have no idea what the hell DRM is, let alone how it affects them, or how they never even realize that 99.9 percent of the time, their game libraries are nothing more than rentals.

You led me right into the singing crap, that's what! =)

Also, seriously, who is going to drop more than 40 dollars on a point-and-click? Their asking price is way too high.
Hotline Miami 2 and Pillars of Eternity are going to eat their lunch, big time.

No, I certainly don't. -laughs-

I'm now curious...how many people really do spend 40 dollars on adventure games?

Grim Fandango's regarded as an all-time classic, and that was still only 15.
