You tried Baldur's Gate, the Fallout series is almost a must to play!

How many people collected those porn magazines in Fallout 2 for the prostitution lady in New Reno?
Man, was it in New Reno? Was its name even New Reno?
I should play that game again sometime.I use black for sarcasm.

A: finding a copy of BG II was sheer luck on my part.
B: do you know how far behind on games I am? I still have to beat: Skies of Arcadia Legends, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Super Mario Galaxy, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Medieval 2, Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, and Baldur's Gate 2!

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
When I played Fallout 2 the first time, I chose a pre-generated character, the thief Mingan. Of course, I was 10 years old back then, so I had hardly any clue what's going on.
When I played F2 the next time, this time in appropriate age and in Polish(although I'd understood it in English as well) I made an eloquent, smart guy who could nevertheless shoot. It went well untilSpoilerI had to fight my way through the Enclave because I didn't put any points in Science. At which point I gave up.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Most of them are known to me only by name, that's why I'm going to pressume they are console games, of which I know next to nothing. And BG 2, I assume you have to finish it?
Look, I can't make you play games and that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to give you a good advice. Imagine Mi'ir wandering around in post-apocalyptic version of Baldur's Gate Fallout can make those dreams come true!

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
*sigh*
Just remembered I've got to make detailed notes for a timed essay tomorrow about the Elizabethan Settlement. Problem is, A2 essays for history require one heck of a lot of detail per 'section'. A section being a paragraph, but I find that ten paragraphs in one essay is too few so I sub - divide those paras.
But it's a ridiculous question; can't say, it has to do with religion obviously; but the answer is so clear. But I've got to find evidence against and for it, present clearly and concisely and then conclude.
It's also done in exam conditions with the allowance that we get our essay plan to help us if we do one tonight.
Stupid dates, names, facts and interpretations.
And historians. We have to learn and quote historians.
Starkey; what'd we do without you and your wonderfully mobile eyebrows?
Bathatar!
Squid bones are lies.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I love when they assign an essay, tell you to give your answer concisely and then turn around and give you a mandated level of detail per paragraph.
It's like that stupid 5-sentence paragraph, 5 sentence essay format they shoved down our throats in high school, only worse.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
They don't do that where I go, in fact if anything the target amount is too much for me, I have really small hand writing and physically can't write that fast and I prefer having concise and precise answers.
But then I get told to write more.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I recently acquired Fallout 2 and have given it a whirl.
What did I learn through my day of play?
1. Don't spec for guns when you don't know how to even get a gun.
2. Don't attempt to fight a Rat God with two throwing knives, a spear and a third of your max HP.
3. OHYMGOD I HAVE A GUN NOW I'M HAPPY.
4. And then I died. Again. Like the 50th time.
5. And now I have a sledgehammer! And some armour that I stole off Cassidy. Let's go Gecko hunting guys.
6. There's MORE!?
7. Gun gun gun gun gun gun gun gun gun.
8. Dead.
A trailer is up for 358/2 Days on Gametrailers. They show the multiplayer, and someone is clearly playing as Larxene. Which must mean the Chain of Memories lot are playable.
...except none of my friends like Kingdom Hearts, so I won't be able to play multiplayer. NEED VEXEN!
*sob*
Anyway: Essay.
9. Gun.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
My school just must've been exceptionally anal about it then. For a while they were literally handing us worksheets for us to fill out each sentence in its proper place. It was so inane...
By about the 7th grade I had gotten so sick of it that I completely stopped doing them and just wrote the bloody essay.

(looks at Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World sitting on the bookshelf)
Define 'detailed notes'--are they comparable to biographical notes about your sources, or the info itself? Probably you need more detail than I currently have, though. I do so miss those slabs of textbook from Humanities.Last edited by Quincunx; 2008-10-21 at 02:28 PM.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Funny enough, if you know what you are doing, you can get the 10mm pistol and a Leather Jacket pretty early on... More than enough to take on the Rat God. The Jacket ain't much, but its probably the best your gonna have for a while and much better than bare skin and your Agility.
Edit: @Curly: I read Empire: How Britain Made the Modern World in my History of the British Empire class!

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
By the way, 10mm Pistol and its Burst Mode upgrade are the best weapons you can use until you get the Solar Gun, Gauss Pistol (and ammo) or Jackhammer.
Unless you're wearing Power Armor Mk. II and trained to be the best unarmed combatant you can be, in which case you just run up and hit them hard.
Strangely, it's easier to get Power Armor Mk. II than it is to get Power Armor itself.
And you still can't fight the final boss unarmed, since he's cheating.
Seriously, how do you defeat him without getting those turrets to work for you?I use black for sarcasm.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Oh I'm only level 3. Which I think is early enough...
All I know is that now I have three spare 10mms and nobody with enough cash to shift them on.
When I'm done with essays I'll be hopping back on with my new pals and bringing gun vengeance upon the Rat God.
Maybe I should give them weapons...
DS. The PSP game is Birth By Sleep, which is why I need a PSP. After all that build up in II Final Mix+, I sure as hell ain't letting it slip away.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
I just did all my Spanish homework in 15 minutes...but I'm all uptight about the chem lab I have to go to in an hour. Because THEN after a THREE HOUR LAB I have to come home, make dinner, and go to karate...the last of which I haven't done in two weeks and my parents are like "Do you not like it anymore?? You either need to quit or go every class!" and I'm like "I CAN'T, IT'S TOO MUCH!!!" "I can't deal with teaching four ADHD six-year-olds after a three-hour chem lab, I just can't!!" and then I promise to go on Thursday and then Thursday comes around and....
SIGH.
I hate Tuesdays.

Re: Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105
Just be glad you guys never had my English 4 teacher. She absolutely HATED any boy in her class. I only aced 2 of the essays in that class. One was a Point of Fact which I ended up proving that Zombies exist(they actually do, Haiti has well over a thousand cases a year), and the other one was on how Reading affected my life. I barely made an 80 average on the other essays.
One time she assigned a Point of Value essay in which every guy(including me) did something on Boys vs. Girls and the girls did the opposite. Every boy in the class got a 78 and below, all of the girls got 85 and up.

Note: the bone-nose guy is best at melee. Giving him a pistol will result in disaster.
Also, the geeky drug producer is, strangely enough, one of the best ranged attackers if you can find a gun that he can carry (he has a Strength of 3 and most weapons require at least 4).
I forgot most of the names. Except Dogmeat. Let's face it, Dogmeat rules.I use black for sarcasm.

What? Failing at math?
Surely it is unheard of!
Math was always my best subject in school. And biology was my worst.
I went on to major in molecular biology and genetics.
Then I screwed up at statistics. But I never attended or paid attention to the class, so I'm justified.I use black for sarcasm.
