Hello everyone *big hugs and waves*

How are you all doing?

*welcome hug* Doing ok, how are you?

Could be better, just heard that my uncle has 5cm thrombosis in his leg...worst case might be a stroke or that he loses his leg...

Uh ok. I hope that he can get help and get well *hug*

Wow. That's very bad,my aunt had a 2 cm and she almost lost her leg. Wish your uncle luck and that he recovers.

*returns hug* Thank you. I hope so too - he had problems with his heart etc before - but he is already in hospital :)

Thank you :). Yeah that's exactly what everyone in my family fears.

Okay...finally got through Trials of the Luremaster. That took a while. Only one more expansion and Icewind 1 is dead.

Working on that now. If I remember correctly, Trials is the harder of the two.
Almost all my main game money got pulled going into the expansions, but now my characters are stuffed to the brim with loot, so after I identify it all, keep what'll make my team stronger, sell off the rest and buy whatever's around that's useful, I should be more than strong enough to wipe Heart of Winter out fairly quickly.

Well, aside from the final boss. I still remember that one, and such enemies are a pain in the ass regardless.

So basically a few hours of taking inventory of the inventory (that sounds very odd)...

How do you think it'll take you? And much time to beat the entire game after all?

I'm realizing the value of the bard at this point. Every class has a lore level that rises as they gain experience. Some get very little, some get more, then the number is modified by either high or low intelligence and wisdom.
Bards get triple the lore increase of my wizard/cleric who has maxed out wisdom and intelligence.
If I had a 15th level bard right now, I wouldn't need to spend time loading up identify spells, they'd be able to identify everything automatically.

Seriously hoping it won't be a few hours, given that virtually all my equipment is high-end and the expansion only has a couple of item dealers. It'll be surprising if they carry much of anything that's better than what I've got.

As for time, I've been plugging away at it for a few hours at a time for roughly a week now, so it's got a decent length to it.
If I play it heavily, I should be able to have the whole thing cleared by tomorrow, I think.
Then I can decide whether to go onto 2, or do Transistor, or Pillars, or Vampire Bloodlines since I just rented it, or something else all together.

Damn. I really need to read more about before i try any of the D&D games.....(they are all waiting on my shelf -.-)

Imho Transistor would be good choice or Vampire as both are a nice thematic and stylistic contrast :).

The Infinity Engine games are definitely heavy on the mechanics. That's why the manuals are all so frigging long, they cover virtually everything.
Icewind 1 might play like their version of an action RPG, but the main manual is over 150 pages.
But the perk of that is that once you know the mechanics, you know the core concepts for Icewind 1 as well as the entire Baldur's Gate series since they run on the exact same thing.

Figuring Vampire will get a play soon, once I figure out how to get the unofficial patch loaded up. That game's a bit of a mess at times without it.

Course, last but certainly not least, I also got the Gumshoe pack from Bundle of Holding.
Makes my stomach churn to see how many amazing RPG bundles they ran but I wasn't able to take advantage of. Now I get to keep my fingers permanently crossed that they'll show up again in the near future.

Hey everyone.

How are you all?

Just been playing a bit of Jedi Knight, turns out I kinda suck at FPSs these days XD
Can't wait till I get the Lightsaber and force powers... :D

So Icewind Dale might be a good game to start?

Yeah. Heard that about Vampire. Rented that one in an earlier sale...but once again played it so far (*sigh*)
Hi. I'm not so good. Told that in the thread earlier. I heard that my uncle has a 5cm thrombosis in his leg.

How are you?

You mean at classic FPS without auto-heal? Yeah me too...

BTW: You talking Dark Froces II Jedi Knight aka Jedi Knight or Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast?
