tinyE: 3rd one is French.
I think the others are Hutt, Sim, and Drunk Jibberish.

Ghorpm: I think you meant the 4th because 3rd is clearly Nordic. Not Swedish though.
And the 4th is definitely not French although it's very similar.
The second one is either Bulgarian, Macedonian or Serbian and definitely not Russian nor Ukrainian. I doubt it's Belarusian.
And the last one could be one of the languages from the former Yugoslavia.
Nope 4th is not french and yes it is very similar. Probably basque, catalan or something like that ......

Tranquil.Suit: Did you know that BG2 was originally designed by DARPA, project codenamed Flaming Queer? Yes you guessed it, it was designed such that playing it for more than 20 minutes will make your balls shrink and turn you into a knee high socks wearing whoopsie (ofcourse it turned out to be true for any RPG that spells 'the' as 'ye').

Recently in the news, the camp of a South African warlord has been recently captured by the local military. Shockingly, they found a pile of corpses who, according to the forensics specialist, seemingly ripped their own heads off. Inside the torture chambers, to no one's surprise, they found an old computer and a copy of BG2. Subsequently, UN made a formal apology to all of the world for failing to stop the existence of the atrocity that is known as BG2 and it was immediately banned by the Geneva convention as the cruelest torture known to man.

langurmonkey: LOL good comeback. My turn again. Hotline Miami is such a horrible game, if we send it into space and aliens find it, they will instantly see this as us declaring war on them and send a black hole to destroy our planet. One of the devs, said, they purposely made this game the worst game in existence so that it would torture the criminally insane back to sanity. Unfortunately, all the patients subjected to this treatment, died instead of getting their sanity back. Once, a wise gamer found a copy of Hotline Miami on his desk from someone who hated him and quickly buried it in a nearby graveyard. The next day, the wise gamer returned and noticed all the graves were empty. Then several hours later, there was a zombie apocalypse. In an alternate universe, on Middle Earth, Frodo threw Hotline Miami into the fires of Mount Doom and Mount Doom spit it back at Frodo's face, killing him. Then all beings on Middle Earth committed suicide.
On the Last Day, Jesus came down to Earth to battle the Antichrist for all of Mankind. The Antichrist said: "I will claim defeat if you can accept Man's most foul creation: Play and finish BG2."

And on that day, Jesus wept as he destroyed Mankind.

AdamR: And coming soon, probably in the next couple of days, after buying it just 3 days ago... Skyrim! - I love Morrowind. I even love Oblivion. I love the new Fallout games. But I am just not liking Skyrim at all.
After I spent hours trying to get past all of the technical problems, tweaking files to make it playable, and installing mods to make the interface slightly more PC-friendly, I finally started to just play the damn thing (with many technical problems still remaining,) and... It's boring. It is boring all around. The characters, the scenery, the story, the towns, the quests, the combat, the skills, the voice work... It just doesn't capture my interest like the other games do. I can't bring myself to care about anything in this world.
I'm really trying to like this. But I just can't. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone who likes it give me some advice on how to make it more interesting?
I can't play it for more than a few minutes without my eyes losing focus, and I start daydreaming and wishing I were playing Call of Duty. (Yes, you read that right.) I'm on the verge of uninstalling.
See now this I find hard to believe. Skyrim is a beautiful game that I enjoyed very much. Though I must admit there are some aspects that are downright annoying once you start playing, like leveling your weapon levels, speech, magic and such. However once you get started with that it gets a lot more fun. I spent my first few hours sneaking into people's houses and stealing from them. Breaking into a house while a person is asleep is better as well as you have to be so very quiet, otherwise you get caught and they either attack you or order you to leave there house before they call the guards. (I love the spell muffle for this). I also pickpocket as many people as I can, and if I have given any money to someone, I steal it back. Just try not to get caught :P

Another thing I like doing is shooting giants at long range, and trying to keep a distance between myself and said giant or I end up taking a club to the face, which is not very good for my health :P The point is, the game itself is very enjoyable and some of the armor sets are sexy as hell. Especially end game armor. I think what you need to do is pick a role you like (Rogue, warrior, mage, archer) and concentrate on that for a while and see how you like to play the game. If it does not sit right with you, switch roles. I would not give up on it just yet. It really is worth it if you have the will to persevere.

pigdog: Anyway, there's only one way of resolving this....let's have a bare knuckle fight! As you're in a different country, we'll have to do this over the internet. So, I'll start with a swift right hook to the jaw!
I would say "Ubi concordia, ibi victoria" but that would just enrage you, wouldn't it? ;) I'm sorry I just love Latin. And not only some proverbs, I love reading it. At the moment I'm halfway through "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium". Just for fun.

Is there any peaceful solution? ;)

To describe playing BG2 as an emotion, well...

Every time a young boy asks a beautiful girl for a dance and she rejects him. That's BG2.
Every time a Christian mother sees her son listening to Snoop Dogg, rapping about the Devil's Reefer. That's BG2.
Every time an old helpless lady gets a traffic ticket from an asshole cop. That's BG2.
Every time an alcohol addict fails to resist temptation and falls deeper into an abyss of misery and self hatred. That's BG2.
Every time I post on GOG. That's BG2!

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

A completely soulless experience, it just ended up feeling like I was playing a mishmash of everything I hate about fantasy RPGs/MMOGs. I even did my best to give it a good run recently, hoping to maybe find something good about it, but I just could not bare to play beyond meeting the stock standard Elves. To this day I'm amazed it gets so much praise.

PS
Every time a copy of Hotline Miami spawns in this world, someone's soul is condemned to hell.
Adolf Hitler once said to Stalin "forcing people to play Hotline Miami is too evil" and Stalin said "I agree".
The big bang that created the universe was the previous universe, trying to destroy Hotline Miami. They risked blowing up their entire universe to destroy the digital trash game. The bible is incorrect. The devil didn't convince Eve to eat the forbidden fruit from the forbidden tree. The devil convinced Eve to play Hotline Miami and Eve convinced Adam to play Hotline Miami. After that, both begged god to make them mortal because they refused to accept living for all eternity with the painful memories of that wretched game. God felt sorry for them and took away their immortality. In the original bible, there are 11 commandments. The 11tth commandment is thou shall not play Hotline Miami.

Of course there's always a peaceful solution. I'm more akin to a 70's hippy than an aggressor so I rarely feel enraged. Let's make love, not war. Bet you're glad you're in a different country now!

I care absolutely nothing about the Leisure Suit Larry series, but when Magna Cum Laude came to GOG, the gigantic storm of people screaming about how GOG should be ashamed to sell that game, and anybody who buys it is encouraging GOG to release awful games and heralding in the DEATH OF GOG eventually made me curious enough to buy it to see what all the fuss was about.

It really is quite wretched.

As far as games that actually have a reputation for being good, I was terribly unimpressed with Baldur's Gate 1.

I didn't buy it (was gifted it) but Enclave was utter garbage. The combat was atrocious, the characters worse than a TV movie or straight to video release from the mid 80s and the supposedly "incredible" environments were dull as hell.
