Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition tournament. Clearly, the only way to settle this.

It is, without a doubt, one of my all time favorites (I and II, wasn't so much into 3 myeslf).

But, I bought it in a bin in a mall for $5 on a whim, never heard of it, and I'm not exaggerating when I say I installed and tried that game at least 7 times before finally playing it. It was, IMO, impossible with a keyboard (whereas other games are just hard with a keyboard).

I mapped the keyboard keys to my logitech gamepad, installed it again, and was in love 10 minutes into the game. And the controls ARE quirky, because you have to be pressing TWO buttons simultaneously to do something. Which is why it's much, much easier on a gamepad IMO.

FWIW, Gothic 1 does not have built in gamepad support, so you must use a program like logitech profiler to map the keys to a gamepad. But Gothic 2 does have built in gamepad support IF you modify the config file. Once you modify the cofig file to support a gamepad, then it's just a matter of going into control setting inside the game and pressing the gamepads buttons for each thing since it will recognize the gamepad.

But IMO Gothic 1 and 2 have to be on anyone's list of all time best RPG's. The world is big and well done, the voice acting leaves a little to be desired in that they only had so many voices so the same voices repeat for many characters, but still the story was good and rich, and the quests were a lot of fun and developed the story, and the open world allowed unlimited exploration. Only problem though is when you're at the beginning of the game, you don't want to explore too much cause you'll get your ass kicked. It's cool though that you can.

Anyway, sorry for the length, but I'm just a HUGE HUGE fan of Gothic 1 and 2 (gold edition is SWEET) and I agree with the OP when it should be played in order because the story flows so well from one to the next with the same characters, even those same voices again. LOL

Thanks for the feedback on the controls. It's just one of those things that you can't really get from screen shots or youtube videos. Though the gamepad idea sounds like a good option if I find the controls too difficult to master, I got Xpadder just for this type of scenario.

Anyway, take my entry off the list because I just bought Gothic for myself.

Make them listen to the complete works of Justin Bieber for twenty four hours. They will agree to anything after that.

"Make love, not war" --> I see the only solution: half-orcs.

I'm in if it's still open. My solution? Kill everyone and everything....if nothing remains then there is no war...short and simple.

Pencils down. Give me a few minutes to read through these.

Dolphin dominance would be best, I think. All they do is eat, swim, and screw, so their demands on the other species would be tolerable, if not better. Plus, we already have that breathing apparatus thing figured out.

Congratulations, I'll PM you the code.

Congrats and don't forget to beat up Mud for me a few times :D

Congratulations to the winner! (I can not help mentioning, by the way that dolphins would rather need "watering apparatuses" than "breathing appartuses", though. They need air to breath just like the whales. Thus they rather risk drying up than suffocation).
Thanks for the giveaway!

Oh I never expected to get anything out of this. Thank you so much! :)
