OMG, why did they bother putting in the Hissing Wastes. It's a zone void of anything. The only thing worthwhile in there is the tier 3 merchant. grr
yay! I got DAI mod manager to work. Now, I can finish getting the mosaics. leather is now dark leather, I can see the vitaars , and the skyhold outfit isn't a boring tan leather.
Nevermind, I guess that quick fix was to stop dai mod manager from working. *sigh*
So sorry, but I'm afraid I have to cut any connection with you now. You mocked the best game in the world from the best developer in the word so...bye.
Well it will come out for consoles, yes. But CD Project Red, a polish developer, started on PC and PC is their lead platform. The game will release on PC first (or at the same time) and it is already clear that it will look MUCH better on PC. They are really open about that fact. As they are open about almost anything regarding the development of this title. It was sheduled for release in February for example but they postponed it in December (and not like Rockstar, 2 weeks prior to release), saying that the game is feature ready but they wanna have 6 motns purely for polishing the beta testing the game.
CDPR has earned their reputation for many things, like DRM-free games (yes they release on Steam, but also on GOG.com and the latter will be a total DRM free version), very fair prices, free of charge DLCs (there has never been ANY paid-for content for their games) and supporting their games via patches, DLCs and something called an "Enhanced Version", which is some kind of special edition. This came out for The Witcher 1 and The Witcher 2 and also did not cost a dime.
They are, it seems to me, the last good developer on this damn planet.

Hey guys and gals.
Actually CD PROJEKT are the creators and founders of GOG.
If you buy their games on GOG, you support them and the anti-DRM, old-school approach to PC games. It works like a charm too. You get free stuff all the time.
They even compensate you for monetary discrepancies around the world (buy in euros instead of US dollars, you get the difference in gift certificates on GOG).
Impressive company/developer.
Yep, GOG is amazing just like their Witcher series. Anyhow here is the following mods I use for Shadowrun Returns.
Steam Workshop
A stitch in time
Brothers til the end
usual suspects
shadowrun unlimited
I haven't seen any I could recommend as in difficulty mods but having it set hardest is pretty darn challenging.
This one is a kind of 'persistent world' like the ones in NW, isn't it Peregrinus?
True enough.
But they really can't do anything if we are making an unofficial expansion for Origins. Fair use and all. I figure Cyan can do a bit of alternate history with his take on how the story unfolded.
If we do that, they can still do legal stuff, just not the same, AND we cut ourselves from any financing/professional approach. Nobody can get paid, we cannot look for investors...
In my honest opinion, it can only be a way to try out our skills and our capacity to work as a team.
Which is a lot .

Yeah. and on the subject of making something, we need some practice before we can seriously consider game development. I think at this stage, it's a non issue.

Yep, they are their own overlords so they can do things the RIGHT way.
Kinda hard for me to stop throwing money at them then lol - I've been using GOG for years and all this time I had no idea
Damn I missed the thread where BWAmealia came in with her nonsense in reply to Penguin's video on the state of the MP and BW community feedback.
I would have had so much fun there. But if anything it shows me I no longer need to voice my opinions on BW employees; they embarrass themselves with every post they make.
I stuck my head in to see if there were any updates. This'll be the last time for me. I picked up Divinity: Original Sin.
My ranger and wizard ran into the drunk guys at the beginning. I-as-the-ranger readily agreed to be taken to the city to see leader dude, and the wizard protested that she wasn't going to let two drunk guys push her around. We argued, played rock-paper-scissors, and she won. So she attacked the legionnaires and I was like "you idiot!". After we won I told her that was stupid and wrong and she was all like "thrill of the kill!". I was really aggravated with her, until I realized I was arguing with myself and the mechanics supported it.
Mostly all I kept thinking is that the dialogue didn't go the way I wanted, forget having to die repeatedly to a boss until you win to advance the plot. Things went wrong and the plot still advanced. I am having a hard time concentrating at work because I want to see how many more ways the wizard is going to ruin my (fake) life.
Also, no quest markers. No enemy scaling. No details, just a journal. Ability to mess a character up so you just can't continue. Can talk to every character. Can trade/sell with every character and they don't have a billion gold to buy All The Things. You can re-customize in-game (eventually).
It's like Ultima IV with exceptional graphics, and that's the best RPG ever made. /blindedbynostalgia
Edit to add: Ultima IV took me like eight months as a teenager to finish. You couldn't save in dungeons, and they were all hours long. You died, you restarted at the top. I made it to the final dungeon and spent upwards of eight hours navigating to the very end, only to find out that I was missing three crucial pieces that I had never even heard about. A month later I finally found them after getting a tiny whiff from an NPC and re-did the dungeon all over again. GOOD TIMES.
Anyways, given a choice there is no way Inquisition is worth the time (or the money, alas, /flush) when there are games like this by indie devs out there. Now I just can't bring myself to splash in the shallow end. I am finished with my months late advert. C'iao bellas!

Yep, I'm having a great time with Divinity Original Sin. I'm beginning to wonder if we are just playing an early access version of DAI, and it'll get into Alpha in a few months.
p.s. I started a new piece in our writer's forum this morning..I hate insomnia.
Oh, GOG. Yes. One of my sons (the sensible 22yo mentioned in the PC concerns thread) loves that place, getting his new rig to run all of my old favourite games. "Mum, have you tried [insert game here]. It's great!"
"Yep, played that one in 2003/1999/2001etc."
"Come and multiplayer with me!!"
Fantastic place. Have fun!
I just realised number 2 son is 22, I'm 44 and my mum is 66. Something in that... ain't right....
And I took a look to me left and it's my 333rd post.
I need a nap.
Sunday was my 55th.
I celebrated by firing-up Grim Dawn and grinding for some epic gear/components.
Didn't find much but there's something therapeutic about beating the living daylights out of near everything you come across in that game.
Count-down to Darkest Dungeon ... 7 days.
Well, Happy Belated Birthday! Darkest Dungeon does look very interesting.

Hey ladies and gentlemen:-)
Just called Amazon.ca and got a full refund on DAI Deluxe.
Had enough of this piece of junk software
Now got 90 dollars to play with :-)
I will download The Witcher 1 :-)
Does anyone have any suggestions on a new game out there worth playing that is not a junk console port :-)
Will also get Witcher 2 from GOG
If anyone has a suggestion let me know :-)
what genre are you interested in playing?

You'll have your hands full with the two Witcher games. It's hard to give an estimate, but you should land somewhere between 24 and 48 hours...each. 
@Matrix Well, GODzilla does have a valid point. The Witcher series will keep you occupied for quite some time. I've spent probably 50+ hours on Witcher 1 and over 70+ on Witcher 2. They are without filler unless you count some of the mini games they in it which involve dice gambling, and fist fighting.
Kingdoms of Amalur the Reckoning is also very good. It also has three DLCs for that too.
Oh, almost forgot my previous recommendation. Stalker Call of Pripyat. Lots of graphical and difficulty mods on moddb.com for it. I recommend Stalker Call of Pripyat Complete for initial playthrough.
p.s. You should be able to easily max out settings in Witcher 1 even with mods, Witcher 2 maxed out except Ubersampling.

How does TW1 and 2 play on a new rig like mine :-)?
You should have no troubles with TW2 at least, it was meant to run on modern hardware. TW1 not sure, been a while since I actually played it, but I know of no specific issues with modern hardware so I'd wager it'll run just fine. ^^
[...]Kingdoms of Amalur the Reckoning is also very good. It also has three DLCs for that too.
I tried that and kinda liked it, but it went boring pretty fast. I soon realized that I can have all this running around and doing sidequests in Skyrim, but better because of MODS!!!
A little bit from Monty Python.
Yep.
@Ashen/Peregrinus
Happy Bday! Congratulations, and sorry looks like no bday patch
He got a birthday hotfix. I asked Mr Darrah for an autoattack for mine a looooong time before the 10th, and he delivered nothing. You lucky bastardI'msojealous!! *sob* /joke

OMG 55. Isn't someone in here 33, too?
Very small rocks.
Happy birthday to all the January babies.
And everyone else, too, because I'll forget later.
