We are leaving on vacation tomorrow, and returning next Monday. I don't expect to be able to post during that time.

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season with your families and loved ones.

We will be leaving for vacation in Europe on July 31st and returning on Aug 15th. I know I won't have internet access for part of the time, and will probably be pretty busy with the family even when I do. Expect spotty to non-existent posting for 2 - 3 weeks.

Regards, Gordon (AKA Kylie, Grondar ...

Thanks for posting this, Ken. It is fun to read these stories.

In case anyone is interested, this game recently switched to a Free-to-Play basis (as it seems just about all MMOs are, except WoW). However, the provisions are really strict, so I doubt it's a very good free-play experience; anything decent in the game you end up having to pay for. I think the Free ...

I tried this out when it first appeared, as my son was working for the maker, Flying Labs. Seemed like a decent game, though I have a genetic block against paying monthly fees for a game. I don't think Flying Labs is doing very well, as my son and a bunch of other employees got laid off last summer ...

I know things have been quiet here, but I just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. I hope you all have a great 2011!

Wow, looks like I missed this by a couple of weeks. :shock: Guess I haven't been coming here as often as I should. :oops:

In answer to your question, Ken, my answer is a bit muddled. For most of the games, I could see jumping ahead. However, that doesn't seem like it would work so well for Yusef ...

Hi Ken,

Wow, I guess it's been longer than I thought since I last swung by here...

Idea #2 appeals to me greatly, as I love supers and the depth of the existing setting provides a wonderful background for a game.
Idea #1 sounds interesting. I'm a fan of the Fallout series (though I haven't gotten ...

My thinking is that they really need to include all DLCs in the GotY editions that they release. I'm a little hacked off that they didn't do so with Oblivion. At least with Morrowind, any official add-on that isn't in the GotY edition is free from the Bethesda website.

Of course that would lead to the creepy situation of a dude's voice coming out of a heroine's mouth!
What? You wouldn't want to hear my deep, bass voice coming from the hot babe standing next to your character? :lol:

Anything else cool that anyone has heard?
Not exactly cool, but has anyone ...

This is sounding like a lot of fun. I will definitely try it out via trial accounts when those become available. (In general across the industry, it seems like this option doesn't become available until a game has been out for a year or so, so it could be a while.) It will have to really blow my ...

Looks like you're still having fun with this game, Ken. I get the impression that it's definately been worth the investment for you.

Gordon

I'm glad you decided to cut back on the spoilers, Ken. I was starting to think I needed to stop reading this thread.

It's disappointing to hear that the ending is so limited. I would have expected something much more open-ended from BethSoft. From your mention of the add-ons, it looks like this is ...

I've tried trials on a bunch of games, and so far City of Heroes / Villains (I actually like the Villains areas better) and Lord of the Rings Online are my two favorites. Still, neither of them has been good enough to get me to commit $15 a month.

I think my biggest disappointment with CoH/V is the ...

You got FO3? I'm so jealous! That does sound like an amazing character creation system. I look forward to hearing more from you on the game play, story, etc.

OOC:

How far are the trolls from the group's current position and how far apart from one another are they? Grondar is trying to determine if he can reach them with a Flame Strike and if so, if he can catch more than one in it's 10' diameter.

Yeah, any help with texture mods would be appreciate, and any other fixing mods out there. I've been looking at the UESP site and they have quite a list of them, but coming from someone who's dealt with this can only help.
Hi Ken,

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you on this. I hope you ...

OOC: Menagerie will go ahead with the first Flash as described since she's not thinking entirely clearly at this point. Then she'll switch to the EB and try to overload the Dark Dimension rift with light.

Ken,

So you picked up Morrowind, eh? Cool. If your computer can run Oblivion, it's more than capable of running Morrowind - even with lots of mods intstalled. Morrowind's vanilla graphics are pretty crude, comparatively. Personally, I recommend loading up some decent retexturing mods (I can point ...

fanchergw

Hi Ken,

It sounds like there are lot of similarities in character creation between the two games. Morrowind has 10 races, which are probably the same ones since the two games are set in the same world. There are 27 skills, divided up into Combat, Magic and Steath groups. The game provides 21 pre ...

fanchergw

Hey Mad!

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying Oblivion. I plan on getting a copy once I have a computer powerful enough to run it well. Probably around the end of summer or so. Meanwhile, Morrowind and others (I'm currently on my second trial account for City of Heroes/Villains; the EU servers are ...

Unfortuatnely, I'm probably at my limit of what I can do right now. That's why the idea was never really mentioned before.
Hey, no problem, Ken. I know you're plenty busy. I was just thinking along the lines of "someday, maybe". And the Star Guard Academy idea would be a cool variation, too ...

fanchergw

Spectrum,

Thanks for the background. It made for interesting reading.

It also gave me an idea (words that should frighten pretty much everyone): It would be fun to advance 10 or 15 years into the future of the current games and play a new Young Champions group. Some of the characters could even be ...

I seem to recall there being a brownie named Robin Goodfellow (?) accompanying the group for a while. Does anyone recall where he got left behind and whether it was intentional? If so, did we have any plans to hook back up with him?

So essentially, if they cannot follow the drow, who may well try to hinder/harm them, they need to retrace their route back through Mountain Lake to area #7. From there, they descend to area #8 and begin the trek down the unexplored corridors toward Hammerfall. Baluk's map might be handy, though ...

Yeah, I've been pretty busy lately myself. Works been very busy and on top of that I've been working to land a new job. Friday I signed the acceptance and turned in my two week notice at my current employer. The new job is a significant step up for me, both professionally and financially. However ...

fanchergw

One minor problem here: Hammerfall is the place that you've been working towards reaching. You've haven't been there yet! Fort Fletcher is where the dwarvers were based when this mission started and you've reached Mountain Lake just recently. Best guess still puts you around 10 miles from ...

I think I had this all figured out pretty near to when the solo stuff started, so it’s good I was consistent in unraveling this mystery. Even if you were reluctant to take the sword!

After looking around, it appears that I no longer have the BG or BG2 disks. There was a point last summer or fall when I was getting rid of a bunch of stuff, and that probably got included. I suspect they ended up down at the local Half Price Books.

It is possible that she might gain powers later as she matured, but that'd be in the future and pretty much beyond what would occur in game.
No kidding. This game has been running for about 5 years, and we've only covered what, about 3 days so far? :lol:

So unless she's exposed to something like ...

fanchergw

Mad,

In moving to this current reality, I think we discussed at some point whether Rose would have any of the powers displayed in the previous two realities. However, I don't recall what we decided on that. Do you? My suspicion is that she may or may not get them at some time in the future, but ...

Gordon, this also means that all those posts you did under your main name for Menagerie, Grondar, and Kylie can be changed those user names. Let me know if you'd like that or not.

Sure, go ahead, though I suspect this will reduce the post count for my main name to below that of even Musketeer ...

fanchergw

You know, I actually have a copy of either BG or BG2 that I tried to play a while back. Unfortunately, the controls and commands were way too complex for my simple mind to keep track of and I gave up.

The thing I love about Morrowind is the incredible freedom. It's this huge island and you can just ...

Well, I'm a huge fan of Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind by Bethesda. Play it over and over with different characters and different mods. I even do a bit of mod testing and tweaking, though I cannot claim to be a modder in any real sense. By this summer, I should have a powerful enough PC to try out ES ...

I actually played my way through a couple trial memberships back last summer / fall. Tried half a dozen character on both sides. It was fun and frustrating, but I'm really not a fan of MMOs. Plus, I can't afford the monthly cost for a real membership, what with all my other bad habits...

Have fun ...

Is there any path around the duergar warriors that Grondar could use with his speed to get to Brother Clavis? Is Clavis within range or either the Flame Strike or a Hold Person spell? Are any of the warriors close enough together for 2 or more to be caught in a Flame Strike without affecting any of ...

It's unclear to me why we've returned to the barge at this point. Is this a plan that we discussed at some point? I know we have rescued Lilia and the young centaur, but we don't know that the medallions are in the chest and Moorkroft hasn't been defeated. We can return the centaur and gain that one ...

I'm a bit confused. On March 1st, you posted the bit below (bolding added by me). However, now it sounds like this is not the case, as we're off to deal with another crisis on the night of July 4th.

Kumiho:

Flying into the Infinity Core complex, Kumiho is using the powers of her teammate ReFlux. Tiny and intangible, it would be hard for anyone to notice or harm her. Pausing for a few moments, she watches to see how things play out. The Q-twins attack Spinner, taking him out quickly. Clearly ...

Can they actually see the duergar firing the crossbows, or just tell where the bolts are coming from? I'm trying to determine if Grondar could - for example - cast Hold Person on them. Also, can they tell just how many of them are doing the shooting?

Boosting their strength, the two kids she's attempting to kill manage to free themselves from her grasp. Not one to be put off so easily, she turns for another flying attack. Just as she does so, both children suddenly vanish. Kumiho stops, surprised.

The male copy of herself bellows his ignorance. Still, his words indicate that he may be of similar mind. "Kill first. Then extract answers."
