Very true :-)
By the way, I finished "A Golden Wake" last night :-) (I need to add it to my very short "Games finished in 2015" list...)

adaliabooks: I seem to remember having problems getting KoToR to start, but I don't think mine was loading at all. I'd suggest looking at the GoG support and the game specific forum because I'm sure that's where I found my solution. I know some of the old games have issues with intro movies so you might have to turn it off in config or delete the movie file?

Oh yeah, and good morning all :D

l0rdtr3k: Damn,only works with movies disabled but I fear I'll lose a lot of the story.
Maybe ask TinyE as I know he's played it a few times and could probably tell you what your likely to miss (or Crow, I think he's played it through before as well)

Also, hello to anyone who's joined since I was on earlier :)

Perfect timing !!! I finished it yesterday too !! in fact I hadn't more left to do... I'm still a bit puzzled/slightly disappointed by this game... what do you think about it, now we're done ? ... :-|
I would say :
- Nice : the general atmosphere is not bad ; graphics are good (for those who love the old-school pixellized style) ; voices and music too, they suit well ; historic real facts and characters (I was surprised to know that so many actually existed !)
- Could be better : linear and painful-to-start storyline ; not really engaging characters (they all seem to have an average and rather undifferentiated personality/way to move and talk...) ; riddles -far- too easy to me (the inventory is always empty ; so, as soon as you find something that you can pick up, it's easy to tell how and where to use it, because you know you need it at the moment...)
In a word, I liked it... but I won't recommand it as a "must have"...

Hello, Owl! *big wet hug*

I am good, thank you. I am soaking wet (which is why it was a wet hug :-)), due to a short spell of heavy rain, but the sun is coming out now, so hopefully I will dry off soon.

How are you, did you have a nice evening, and how is your morning?

toxicTom: Spoiler tags are supported with Barefoot Essentials. S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶t̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶v̶i̶a̶ ̶U̶T̶F̶8̶.

HeDanny: Thanks for the reply'

Spoiler tags via Barefoot Essentials only works for those with the plugin installed doesn't it? I have the plugin, so I can ust it to mark a spoiler, but someone reading my post who does not have the plugin will not have the spoiler concealed, will they?

I have no idea what UFTS is. I can see that page works, but it would be more convenient if I knew what it was doing so I didn't have to go to another site every time I wanted to strikethorugh something. Just .. do whatever that is doing myself right here. Or is it not that simple?

So no way to change Text size? Using smaller text is really quite handy in many situations.
Yes, only people using Barefoots who also have activated the spoiler option will see them.

UTF8 is a character encoding for Unicode. Which means all possible characters are in there, so even the ones with the strike through. And most websites use this, it is possible to copy the characters from such a website and gog will recognize it. No other way of doing it (of course you could copy the characters to a file on your computer and then put them in your replies, but the website makes it much easier).
If something in this is wrong anyone feel free to correct me, I am not an expert in this topic ;-)

In general this forum just has the very basic options for writing, and even they do not work correctly. So just resign yourself to it, I don't think this will ever change the near future.

How are you, did you have a nice evening, and how is your morning?
Jeez... I was wondering why you gave me a wet hug lol :-D
**Pass a big towel to DD**
Yes, I had a nice evening ; despite a particularly frustrated and tiresome owlet ):-| ... I was relieved to throw her in bed, I can tell you. I played and finished "A Golden Wake" in the evening (just like Agent !!) :-)
My morning is quiet and quite (hehe) relaxing... not bothered by the phone yet... \o/
I hope you'll have more pleasant weather in the afternoon... !! if you still have to work outside... :-\

I own A Golden Wake, but I haven't played past the opening sequence. I really enjoy Wadjet Eye's games, but this one just didn't draw me in somehow. I still plan on playing it all the way through, but at a later date.

Thank you for the towel, but it looks like it might rain again, so I had better wait until I am back inside before I dry myself off. :-)

Besides, after a wet thug I think you might need the towel: http://i.imgur.com/KsZN4sH.jpg

Sorry to hear your Owlet is not resting well. Is it due to her teething?

I was never keen on A Golden Wake, the storyline just was not that appealing to me. I own most of the other pixel style adventure games, but A Golden Wake was just not my cup of tea.

I hope your day continues to be restful and peaceful. I am outside for much of the day, as I procrastinated a little too much yesterday, but that was due to it being my first day back from my weekend away.

*Lots of big wet hugs* :-)

FearfulSymmetry: Hey everyone! *hugs to all*

How are you today, anything fun planned for the day?

A wet hug? Ieks... and that after the rain stopped here during the night and the sun came out this morning. But ok, I'll also take a wet hug ;-)

Pretty much exactly what you think...
Good - The graphics, music, and voices are really nice. I really liked the setting and the atmosphere. Like you, I was really surprised that so many people really existed (though not nearly as surprised as I was with the real people in Blackwell.)
Not as good - The story seemed non-existent in the first half, and although it got more interesting, it still didn't capture my interest too much... The characters were quite bland, with one or two exceptions (I can only remember a couple of names)... Too-easy puzzles... and I didn't like the ending :-|

Still... I had fun. I can't think of anything that was just plain "bad"... I enjoyed playing it, but I doubt I'll play it again. I'd say... Forgettable, but not regrettable :-)
