RE:... so who's gonna point out the question mark and explain its meaning in this context to this guy... :roll:

RE:... the intro looked awesome, the rest wasnt as good because the main character looks stupid/empty/boring, the music stopped playing and there wasnt enough nakedness (!!!111) to make up for it. still... awesome, hope nma will cover the other episodes

RE:... hmmm cant seem to connect to DAC? is anyone else having problems?

RE:... Probably the fact that all the dynamics and evolving need to be synchonized (over a connection with limited bandwidth)

Not talking about the whole combat engine (as i said, combat in arcanum sucked), just the system with a turnbased mode an half-turn based mode (or whatever fancy name the had for that) and a realtime mode, only optimized/balanced for turn-based. That way they can tell the publishers that they...

Re:... I liked the arcanum system (in turn based mode). I mean, it was not like there was any use for turnbased combat in arcanum since combat was imo the most boring aspect of the game (it was totally deviod of any tactics or strategy). but the system looked nice to me, add a grid so you can...

re:... dudes! why all the cynicism? its X-treeeeeeeeeeeeeme!

Those stories sound great! I think Fallout shouldnt be drowned in references to groups/events/people in the real world. But i dont think there anything fundamentally wrong with including some if it serves a purposed and is done well. And it sounds like it does/is. Its really sad well never...

hehe, no problem, like i said never been a well well-known (or maybe known at all? ;) ) scenes person...

And clicking on the heal item, once in a while. Yes now i remember, the tactical possibilities were endless!

yes, turn based allows for far more tactical options, so that's a big difference, gameplay-wise. the "trade-off" is that combat will be a lot slower, which is also a big difference

I totally agree, we do not need more "HAR HAR GONNA KILL ALL TEH PEASANTS" evil. but RTS? as in Real Time Strategy? KoTOR? Strategy? i'm definitely missing something here...

Interpreting "turn" that way would make every computer game "turn based" and hence would render the term "turn based" obsolete. Simply because a computer (or a programmer) needs to organize its actions (on a basic level) in turns, since a CPU can do only one thing at a time. Hence the actions of...

either that or "<>". but i think only people still crazy enough to still program in Pascal (me) use that one

Cant think of any game that did. But i dont think i'd be impossible even with standard FPS controls it'd be possible. Just give every action its own AP cost let every character use their APs one by one turn by turn and you'd be there. There'd sure be problems a-plenty though. First, in most...

Thats a bit of a blur :) ...but back in the Council of Six Days i used Thoron, then Iplay (or was the Co6 at bioware? ...hmmm) updated their boards to a very sucky layout/system. So i moved over to BG:Chronicles where i posted mainly on the planescape forums under the name Broken One. Then BGC...

Hahaha, what the... now that i read it again... yeah, "it" could only refer to RT-with-pause (I take it thats what you ment). However I ment "it" to refer to pure TB... and in my head it did :? Dont know what I was thinking, that was pretty much retarded, sorry for the confusion. So what i...

I've been posting here for a couple of days and now its too fucking late and I cant sleep. So i thought it'd be nice to write an nice "introducing me" post and hope someone will actually read this and care. So. Hi, i'm Hirle im a 20 year old Cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AKA stuff...

not true, maybe for KoTOR (in which the combat was very bad imo), but not for BG. There was definitely a tactical aspect to BG, keeping your casters out of harms way, defending them with you melee guys, casting the right spell at the right moment. All of which would have been impossible with a...

not necessarily, it has some of the advantages too: being able to avoid long easy/boring combat situations (you can argue that if combat is boring the game has design problems that need to be fixed first, but 1) implementing pause-able realtime IS a legitimate way to fix it 2) i have yet to see...
