The enhanced editions have very mixed reviews. It seems that despite only making a few improvements (that many feel is not worth the asking price for, especially as it's just a simple upgrade), the developers also introduced a large number of new bugs into the games.

I do feel that the games are overpriced, given their age and what little was done to make them enhanced. I wonder how long it will be until Icewind Dale 2 gets an "enhanced" edition.

However being in Switzerland you're quite close to Italy and Southern France (where mobile wood fired ovens are most popular) so I'm sure you can find some proper pizza somewhere.
Or you could hop in your van and drive to Switzerland and make some nice and fresh. :-)

Hehe, while a holiday would be nice I would have to charge Moon a hell of a lot to make it worth going... especially as it's just starting to get busy for us.

To be honest I really don't care about these games. I tried playing Baldurs Gate and Neverwinter Nights and Icewind Dale but I never got into them. I hated the isometric view, the huge party managment and yeah they were just not my type of games. I never finished one of them, when they started to annoy me too much I stopped playing them and never looked back.

Would the look on Moon's face enjoying your food not make it all worth while? :-)

I was gifted the games (the originals), but I have not yet played them. I need to be in the right frame of mind for games like that. Which is another reason I don't like getting gifts, as I feel bad for not playing games gifted to me straight away. But if I force myself to play them when I am not in the mood, I just won't enjoy them.

What game(s) are you playing at the moment?
Good Night All:-)

Yeah I can understant that problem with gifts. It always weights on my conscience if I do not play gifted games soon after getting them but if I am not in the mood for them I won't play them.

For what I am playing right now I normally have several games I play at the same time depending on my mood. For strategy game I am playing Pharao at the moment and for puzzle game I am playing Mousecraft. I also started Driftmoon on Saturday because I wanted to play an RPG. Of course it is not a deep and complex one but from what I played it is a nice little game :-)

I usually have a few I play as well, though I do not not always play them often, but lately I am on a mission to complete my backlog by the end of the year. At the moment my strategy is the first Warhammer 40K Dawn of War games, I have also just started Richard and Alice, a bit of Blocks that Matter, and I am trying to decide on another game. Maybe I should give Driftmoon a try, as I have not played an RPG in a while.
Cheerleaders! Sure, they look nice but not a single one knows how to cook, launder, or sew.
I need to rethink this.

As long as you do not expect too much from it, it is a nice game. The combat is not really complex and the skill system as well. But it has a nice story and I think it is a fun game to play for an hour here and there.

Good morning, Endre! *big morning hug*

How are you feeling today?

As for the cheerleaders, perhaps try to get some older cheerleaders, one who know how to cook, clean, saw, and launder. Those young ones look nice, but the older ones are more useful. :-)

That's why I thought about it. I am not in the mood for a very complex RPG, but a nice light hearted one might be nice. Yep, Driftmoon will be my next game. :-)

Mornin' DD and Moon. Feeling OK so far, just took the dreaded new pill so fingers crossed. ;-)
-23° C this morning so going to work will be fun. :/ How are all of you today?
