Yay, KOTOR2's a flash sale again, I missed it during the Autumn sale. Acquired it. :)

For restoration patches, should I use the Sith Lords Restoration Project or the Sith Lords Restored Content Mod?

Yeah, apparently the Restoration Project was cancelled, so SLRCM it is.
Endless Space is pretty good. I agree with the thoughts that it's kind of "dry". Once you get into a game it really comes down to min/maxing, with little of the flare that other 4X games have in their systems or race attributes.

And while then game is relatively well explained, it's one of those strategy games that requires you to do the right things, or else the AI even on easy will crush you.

On the plus side, the dev's are really dedicated and have added a ton of stuff in free updates including a brand new race. So if you want a space TBS 4x (aka PROPER 4x) and want to support hard working dev's, it's a really good choice.

I do like dedicated devs. Would you recommend it as a good intro to space 4x or would it be better to jsut buy Master of Orion 1+2 here?

I'd say pick up Endless Space. If only because any paying customer is given the ability to pitch game development ideas to the devs which then get community voting (I believe) and the winners get implemented. So you can actually have a say in what Endless Space ultimately becomes.

I wouldn't say it's as good as MoO, but there aren't any 4x space games that are. It's worth it to look into for how slick (if dry) the presentation is, the dev's support, and what it could end up being.

And is it alright in mianly singleplayer or is most of its value in multi?

I've only played Single player. The AI is really smart, and unlike some 4X games (cough Civ 5 cough) they don't act like schizophrenic psychopaths. It's definitely not a strategy game you can play the first time and destroy the AI in. It takes time to figure out the game and how to play effectively.
I've been wanting to play Orcs and Men since release, can anybody confirm it will rock my socks so I can justify 20 bucks for it? If not I'll probably wait...
I was interested in the newest 3 Tomb Raider games, and now I'm wondering if I should get the rest... Do they all have that tank gameplay?

You should buy it and tell me how it in in the next 24 hours so I can decide if I want to buy it or not. ;)

Borderlands 2 Season Pass..
*checks wallet* *moths* >.>
Sorry for the off topic .
I have some Steam keys in here : http://www.gog.com/forum/general/classifieds/post4684
What I've bought so far:

- Spec Ops: The Line (albeit this was not from Steam, but from getgogames or whatever... played a bit yesterday, maybe later)

- Mirror's Edge (meh, but I've seen worse. Looks pretty, at least.)

- Saints Row 2 (I'm not so much interested in the game itself, but I just want to see myself if it is really so full of bugs and compatibility problems as people say, and how to overcome them)

- Saints Row 3 The Full Package (just because I hate having only the base game from the Humble THQ Bundle; unfortunately THQ's/Valve's little ploy to get people to buy the same games again they already got in the THQ Humble Bundle worked).

Now I am kicking myself in the head that I didn't simply pass the obsolete SR3 and Titan Quest in the Humble THQ Bundle (and pay like $1 for the rest of the games), because that way I would have at least saved money if I wanted the DLCs and expansion packs for those two games too.

Mental note: never buy bundles only with the base games. Only complete GOTY editions with all the relevant content.

- I snatched Episodes 1 and 2 for HL2, meaning to do that for years.

I certainly hope that was it, because buying from DRM sites makes me feel dirty inside. Fortunately I've been buying much more from the GOG promos now, and I'm not done yet, not even close...

So far I bought:

Borderlands 2
Darksiders 2
Natural Selection 2 (already uninstalled. it was frying my 560ti on low settings while providing 30 or less fps during combat.)
King Arthur 2 (just because)
All the DLC for Warlock - Master of Arcane.
I think I'll get Skyrim and Farcry 3 before the end of the sale, not really sure about Skyrim though. I think I'll not play it as much as I need to make it worth the money.
