So now you have officially played through all three Bioshocks, Kobby? Which one was best?

Dragon Age Inquisition is taking up most of my free time at the moment, although I've also been fitting in a bit of Evolve and GTA.

Oblivion is also looking appealing, if I can find the time...

Is that a new game? I have to look into that one..

Yeah, it sounds quite good. Not sure that many people on this forum will have heard of it though...

For the last few days I have been playing Neverwinter Nights 1 again, starting a new game with Persephone. Yes, the girl gets around. I have been having a blast. It may be the older game than NWN2 - with correspondingly poorer graphics, fewer classes and neato feats, less races, etc... - but it is definitely the better game. I just cannot get through NWN2. But I have gone through NWN1 several times over the years, and I am still loving it one more time.

I do have an idea for my copy of Neverwinter Nights 2. I just downloaded Baldur's Gate Reloaded, which turns NWN2 into Baldur's Gate. BG1 from the looks of it, not 2. But I liked BG1 better, so that is a win for me. At some time I will give that a try.

Still having a lot of fun with NWN1. Persephone is my first character to have the Great Cleave feat. Wow! For those unfamiliar with the D&D 3.x rules, the Cleave feat gives you a free attack when you kill your opponent, so long as the new person you attack is in melee range. Great Cleave takes it a step further, and allows you to chain an unending number of such free attacks, so long as you kill an opponent with each swing, or run out of people in melee range. The Paladin in Diablo 2 had the same feat.

Soon after taking Great Cleave, Persephone went into a big room that was filled with fire beetles. Low level critters. But there were about a dozen of them, and they all came in at once and swarmed her. Persephone attacked once, then the cleaving commenced. It didn't stop until all the beetles were dead. In one round, one action, she killed them all. As one would die, another would step up into the gap, so that when Persephone's sword came around again it was in range. Wow!

SubRosa, glad to hear you are still going strong with NWN I. Heh, the Great Cleave sounds like some special power that a busty Nord might have that causes her top to pop open and distract her foes.

Like Sigrid?

Well, I've ditched MH4U and gone back to playing Rune Factory 4. There's something strangely satisfying about combining farming and dungeon-diving...

[hazmick]

currently on my 7th playthrough of Dragon's Dogma, but I accidentally missed out a quest so I'm planning on blitzing through it and going for 100% on playthrough number 8. My character is just over 2 years old and still isn't strong enough to take down the DLC endgame boss.

*sigh* the grind never ends.

I was just watching the Angry Joe review on Dragon's Dogma. It sounded interesting, right up until I discovered it is for X-box and Playstation only.

I keep meaning to get back to Dragon's Dogma, damn good game. I completed the story once before the expansion came out, but haven't gotten around to a second attempt. Which class do you play? I tend to go for either Mystic Knight or Magic Archer. Too much fun.



Anyway, I'm trying to hack, blast, and respawn my way through Halo 3 on Legendary difficulty. I want to see that alternate ending.

I rock the assassin, for the sword/bow combo, and my pawn is a ranger (though she was a lot more helpful as a fighter so I'm thinking of switching her to that). I like the abilities of the magic archer but I don't like the way the bows look It's always style over substance for me.

I've got to the point now where I've been everywhere, done everything, and killed everything, quite a few times so my pawn knows exactly where to go and what to do. Makes things so much easier. The expansion is still really difficult though.

For the last few days I have been playing my Amazon Total War mod for Rome: Total War 1. It has been years since I have touched it. This sure brings back memories.

It brings me back memories of when you talked about it and posted a couple screens over on the Bethesda Official site back in 2009! Did looking at that particular vid make you nostalgic to play it?

[SubRosa]

It was watching Angry Joe's review of Rome Total War 2 that got me hankering for some total warness. It sounds like RTW2 is not very good, something I have heard from more than just him. So I took a stroll down memory lane with my Amazons. Nearly all of Asia Minor has now fallen to my women.

As soon as you said you played it again after all this time, I wondered if watching that vid had kind of got you thinking about it.

I remember a screen with troops on a bridge, or maybe nearing a bridge - that is all I can remember about it, other than you loved the game and carried some of the things you loved best about it into your roleplay in Oblivion - some really cool things like that lance, etc. I remember the girl Legionaire on horseback carrying that lance and I think her armor too was based on that game. I learned more about the Roman wars listening to you than I learned in school, and it was a lot more fun your way too, lol.

Let me see, I do have a bunch of old pics from ATW. I did most of these for faction previews, to showcase their units. I just wish I could remember what I did to hide the UI in those pics. It has been so long I cannot remember anymore.

Amazonian Chariots

Amazonian Agema Archers

Amazonian Companion Cavalry

Amazonian Armored Hoplites

Amazonian Axewomen

Amazonian Agema Axewoman

Valkyrja Spearwomen

Valkyrja Berserkers

Valkyrja Companion Cavalry

Valkyrja Heavy Cavalry

Gorgon Armored Elephants

Gorgon Agema Axewomen vs. Carthaginian Sacred Band

Bean Sidhe Chosen Fianna

Bean Sidhe vs Romans

Thanks for sharing these SubRosa - looks like a beautiful mod. I'm sure I've seen several of these at some point posted by you over the years. What epic scale!

Holy Cow, do you have to control all those people? How do you do it? These screens are amazing, and I love some of the armors! The charging Elephants tossing people in the air had me laughing! What a great touch! Awesome shots, this looks great - but hard to play!


GAAAAH, this is a mod? I thought it was a game! Holy Cow !!!!
