This depends on how long the blockade would last. Since the Japanese were considering surrender at the time, it is sensible to assume that one of the following would occur: 1) Japan would surrender unconditionally in order to prevent its population from starving, not very different from the...

Japan is not a self-sufficient nation. It is dependable on the import of all kinds of raw materials essential for the industry, it is true now and it was true in 1945. A full military blockade, along with the strategic (conventional) bombing of military, industrial and infrastructure capacity...

It is quite difficult to find a RPG that wasn't underdeveloped in that sense, especially when Infinity Engine games are considered. Both Baldur's Gate games were ridden with major bugs even after the official patches, in fact PS:T was the only IE game that I managed to complete with only the...

PS:T is alive and well, with Qwinn's (and Scient's) unofficial Fixpack 3.0, Unfinished Business (restored content) and Tweak Pack (primarily banter accelerator / fixer). With Killap's work on Fallout 2 and Drog's work on Arcanum, it helps me get through the barren gaming 2008. The mods can be...

Planescape: Torment is a game that hasn't been surpassed on: - story - character interaction - NPCs - even the unimportant NPCs have a personality and a story to tell, and important NPCs, like those joining your party and those important to the Nameless One have depth amazing for a computer...

As "before" and "after" are time related concepts, they make sense only from t=0 onward, especially given that time is a property of our universe, not an absolute. So "before time" is an oxymoron.

Re: World map speed issue Yes. Other applications and games work fine. It's AMD 64 Dual core 3800+ processor. Those were the Feb. 22 fixes from Killap's site (http://www.killap.net/fallout2/expansion/fixes/), which I installed only after encountering the problem. The game behaves the...

World map speed issue Clean install didn't work and on top of the clean install I've installed all new fixes before asking the aforementioned question, but I found the solution in the readme file. WorldMapFPS parameter in ddraw.ini had to be set to about 1000 (its default value is 30) to make...

World map problem After upgrading to version 1.1 of Fallout 2 Restoration pack, I have encountered a problem that makes the game unplayable. When I enter World map, the game speed slows to a crawl, i.e. it practically freezes, so no actions on the world map can be taken. Previous version of the...

I agree with several earlier posters that there is no real separation between gameplay, dialogue, plot, atmosphere and world exploration. Dialogue, plot and world exploration, along with combat, character advancement, and other aspects, are parts that, when combined, make for gameplay...

Two months old, but still interesting. This discovery has a lot of potential to be used, or abused. What do you think?

I've just finished playing Planescape: Torment for the second time. It is my favorite game and it has been more than a few years since I played it for the first time. I'll probably start playing The Witcher or Mask of the Betrayer later today, I'm not sure yet which one I'll play first.

A police officer should be able to subdue an unarmed person using physical force only.

Peaked at level 42, falling sharply after that, now I'm oscillating between levels 36 and 38, with the last word being effloresce = bloom. A clear signal to stop.

It's a Cave Troll. That means that a Balrog must be hiding somewhere in the ruins.

You can estimate with a high probability of success which ones actually played the game, which ones just watched the intro (Torr) and which ones were taught what to say on the PR meeting (Bloody mess guys, Pete Hiney, etc.).
