    It's always funny when the new guy struts in and taunts the admins.

    At least I was artful about it, when I did it... but yes, it is...

    I'd love to watch the behide the scenes on this, since most of it will never reach the boards.

    I think at one point Dark Elf banned all of Ireland to keep a guy out, so overkill isn't really an issue.

    I think most of the West Coast was barred to keep me out...

    Banning the entirety of Ireland is fucking awesome, and a sign that eventually the little git will be destroyed. *slightly psychotic smile*

    I gotta second this notion!

    I bought this game and after playing for two hours I snapped, grabbed the closest sharp object and jammed into my brain via my ear canal!

    Then, to be sure I could never again bear witness to the GOD-awful voice acting, I doused my entire home in kerosine and tossed a match...

    After being brought to the E.R with third-degree burns over more then 90% of my body, I persistently nodded my head in morriss code for "please KILL me!"

    Unfortunately, they didn't and I came home 6 months later only to walk into my newly renovated living room and see my roomate playing the game :x

    I quickly ran amok and when the fog cleared, I awoke in the middle of a soccer field naked and very cold!

    I still get goosebumps just thinking about it to this very day!!!

    I thought Morrowind was decent. I'd recommend modding it heavily.

    Thanks for the tip, but it's already fucking up. It won't react to my CD. It still says "Insert the Morrowind CD into any CD-ROM/DVD drive."

    I'm regretting this already.

    The real sin is that Two-Worlds (shudder) actually had the mechanics of a decent game buried somewhere among the dung pile!
    If only they had decided to finish the coding BEFORE releasing this mess...
    Oh, and they probably would have been better off dubbing the voice-acting with dying cats instead...

    On second thought, the game would have been gaming gold had the entire voice track been nothing more than Arcanum's familiar wing-flapping goodness :p

    Yeah, for me.. the whole series was very immersive and generally remembered fondly... Oblivion was not as good as the others, but I still managed to waste 200+ hours of my life playing it, so that says something!

    Enjoy it... that is IF you can get your PC to read the disc (here is to hoping you can) you won't be dissapointed.

    Yeah, I got around that. But it wouldn't read the expansion ESM files. So I had to play it unmodified. I played for like 20 minutes. Then I died without saving.

    Have you try to insert the CD in both of the CD drives?

    Congratulations, Arthagon. You just made your 500th post. Sadly, it doesn't make a damn ounce of sense.* What kind of games do you normally play, Yuki?




    *unless he somehow knows that she has two cd drives

    I only have one drive. And it's usually action-RPGs.
