I use both at the same time (on chrome). So that *should* work...

Ok, thanks, I'll buy it later then.

NWN is, besides the engine change, a very different game because it uses D&D 3rd Edition Rules. As for the gameplay itself, as I said before, the best module is the Hordes of the Underdark, with good dialogue, a decent plot, interesting combat and puzzles, and an overall challenging campaign. HOTU is worth the price alone, imho. In addition http://neverwintervault.org/ has literally thousands of modules, characters, and other things to extend the life of the game.

If you go in expecting NWN to be similar to Baldur's Gate, and if you're an RPG purist with a tendency to berate anything different, easier or less complex as "casualized piece of pure garbage", I'm pretty sure you would hate Neverwinter Nights with a passion, as many others with similar attitude and expectation did before you. You control only one player character, you can have companions in your party (although in the official campaign only one at a time), but they will be controlled by the computer, and while you can gve orders to them, their AI is generally quite terrible. And as far as I know, in the official campaigns your companions don't talk to each other, there's no banter, and their backstories and personalities aren't all that great, in my personal opinion. The official campaign has lots of looting, hacking and slashing with trash mobs and not such a great story (again, IMO). Personally, like Ragnarblackmane, I think NWN is a great game regardless, if you ignore the official campaigns and play custom campaigns instead, with better stories, characters and partially improved AI. But I'm not so sure you would like it, as you don't sound very open-minded in this regard ...

NWN 2 is a bit more like Baldur's Gate, with a fully controllable party of characters with personality and banter between them. But it has its share of problems as well, most notably the camera, pathfinding and performance issues.

Planescape Torment looks and works similar to Baldur's Gate, but it's quite a different game, since it's very text-heavy and the combat is not as good. I loved it despite and also because of that, but you need be prepared for it. Like I wrote before in this thread, it's a game where reading, INT, CHA and WIS will get you farther than fighting, STR, CON and DEX. And the setting is very different from the average D&D Forgotten Realms setting of Baldur's Gate.

High five for having a GTX 210! XD


Anyway. I'm thinking of picking up one of the Spiderweb Software games (Geneforce, Avernum games, Avadon) and I'm wondering which one to pick up.

Thanks, will give NWN2 a look then! :) Planescape Torment looks very interesting, i enjoy roleplaying and story-text driven RPGS, so its actually a good thing to have a text heavy game ;)

Ahah, unfortunately, that's too late... but thanks for your opinion :)
I tried it... and I'm liking it for now ! Simple fun, even if flawed in several points. What only really bothers me for now are the slowdowns (!) (and that I must learn the controls, I think I'm missing one or two keys :P).

Oh, interesting : how do you do this ?


I see the Alien Shooters & Zombie shooters games are on sale, is one of them worth picking & playing ?

Settings panel pops up in the account panel after installing.

Oh, you were talking of sorting wishlist, sorry, I thought you were talking of sorting games when looking through GOG's catalog :P

Has anyone played both "Crookz the big heist" and "The Masterplan"? If you did, which one of them would you say it's better?

And, for me, by better, I don't mean more challenging. What I'm looking is variety of missions (Is there a sandbox/random map mode, for example, where you can get a different mission each time?) and the ability to use different strategies.

Thanks to any that could help out!

I would say

Skyshines Bedlam Redux
Sorcerer King ( absolute no brainer barginz ! )
Door Kickers
80 Days
Neo Scavenger
Dex

all great games at great prices. There are many more obviously but these are the stand out ones for me. :)

The last expansion is supposedly the best, so try that one first! And then go for the main campaigns.

Mysteries of Westgate.

So I made my main big purchase last night. Now I just want to see if I may be convinced to still buy some of the few I passed on, after all.

-Thea: The Awakening
What's the replayability like with this one? Seems like some say there is enough, while others say there is practically none. So, what is it? How much does the survival aspect really affect gameplay? Can I expect to die right away when making a mistake or is there any forgiving aspect to it?

-SOMA
While the game itself really intrigues me, I'm just not sure whether I should wait for the price to go down some more or just grab it now...

-Day of the Tentacle Remastered
I love the look of what they've done to this game. That said, while it's been a good while since I last played the original, I'm not sure how much enjoyment I'll get out of replaying this version seeing how I still remember solutions to a fair few puzzles. Is it really worth it just to re-experience it?

-World in Conflict
How does it stack up to other RTSeses on GOG? What's the general pace of campaign missions? Does it require ultra reflexes? I tend to have to lower speed in most in this genre since I'm just not fast enough most of the time.

-Fallen Enchantress
Let's just forego the MoM comparisons. How is the game judged on its own merits? Is the singelplayer fun enough? I keep reading the AI is not the brightest. Should I be concerned about that? Is it really as unstable as some people say it is?
