Its purely speculation about the storyline. We don't actually know any of this stuff. Or at least nothing beyond whats already been revealed through BlizzCon and the like.

HOW DARE YOU DOUBT SCYBERDRAGONS UNIMAGINEABLE POWER!!!!
SMITE HIM SCYBER!!!

Mmmm, thought it was a pretty incomplete explanation, so went back and edited the shit out of it.

I still stand by the fact that "QUICKSAVE/LOAD LOL" is a horrid system that makes games way too easy, though. Checkpoints are even worse as well, having to replay entire sections of the game if you found one too hard to do, so I dunno about an autosave system either. It's really tough to strike a balance between freedom and actually punishing players for sucking at games :/.

DID SOMEBODY JUST TALK ABOUT MOTHERFUCKING ESCAPE VELOCITY?
That game was awesome, and I miss it.

Anyhow, combination of both for the death system.
Make a hardcore mode for people who want to be punished for fucking up, basically they lose the ship they were flying, and are transported back to the starting area. Don't wipe their whole character/all their possessions of course, just the ship they were flying at the time.

And then the obligatory quicksave/load/whatever system for pussies.


I definitely liked how the time limits worked in Escape Velocity, they made it so you couldn't just rack up 10 or so missions and bang them out at once, you actually had to commit to missions.

Thanks for the spoiler alert, dick.

Follow Through
Ranks: 3
After an enemy is slain, the Barbarians next attack deals 50% bonus damage (+25% per rank).

Well, guess I'll hop on the reinstall bandwagon too.
If we all get this shit working through Tunngle, would be quite tits.

Id strongly suggest just picking out one LAN program and debugging TH/LAN compatability with the shit. Right now it just seems to be that people are stumbling upon new programs that are less buggy than the last.

Pretty sexy mouse, I'd buy it if I knew it wasn't going to be hideously overpriced due to the "DIABLO 3 LOL" on it.

Will check out Tunngle.

Couple of us used to try to play over Hamachi, didn't work out, neither did Kali on account of the "FUCKING PAY US!" messages that kept coming up :/.

Good to hear that TH2 will have a multiplayer tool though, thus far that's the only issue I've had with your mod, other than that it's pretty fucking solid.

Aren't there bridges you should be busy hiding under?

What a dick.

Makes us a fantastic mod, then just drops all support and never makes hamachi stop sucking.

Fucking never.

I believe in the right to end your own life, but to make Futurama style "Suicide Booths" would make it way too easy for somebody to have a shitty week, then have an easy, accessible way to end it all. Easy methods like that, fuck no.

If people want to end their own life, they should have an option open to them, but only be allowed to take said option after a period of counselling/medication/whatever to get to the root of their problems and see if they come around. If at the end of that period they still want to stick a knife into their face, then let them kill themselves through assisted suicide.

Quote from Equinox

I've seen it happen with sequels countless times. Oblivion was also a downgrade from Morrowind in every way except combat and raw size (Morrowind had more hand crafted detail). It's not so much that I expect it or what not, but it's not out of the question.

Truth.

Downgrades happen all the fucking time, not every game will be bigger than its predecessor.
Dragon Age 2 was smaller than the first, for example. Had fewer dungeons, combat was about the same, and the dialogue was carebear mode. SO, there's an example of a downgrade right there.

What about SC2 vs SC?
1 campaign where SC had 3. Size was downgraded.

OH LAWD THAT'S TWO EXAMPLES.

Quote from Equinox

The game still offers less than Daggerfall ever did. I don't know how that's greedy.

Well yeah, but recreating daggerfall with a modern engine would be fucking insane.
Not saying it couldn't be done since I know fuck all about developing computer games, but I can definitely imagine it would take a very long time if the developers wanted the landscape to actually be interesting, and not just vast expanses of bullshit.

So far Skyrim looks pretty solid, dunno if I like the whole dragon shouts thing, but meh, it might grow on me once I fuck around with it for a while. Definitely a fan of the new dual wield shit they've got going on though. At the very least, it'll be a fun game to pass the time with until D3 hits shelves, even if you can't skewer shit with spears and crossbow bolts.

Quote from Turmobil

I'm a huge fan of the Norse theme, but the fact that there are no crossbows or spears in the game is just bad. Hell, even some mods managed to implement spears in Oblivion even though they were incredibly buggy.

.... So?

2 weapon types, oh god no, the game has been rendered unplayable.

Still has a pretty tits ass landscape, what APPEARS to be some nice changes to the UI, and while the whole 3 stat system is kinda odd, it does make sense given that everything in Obliv/Morrowind/others basically boiled down to "stealthy, beaty, magic-y".

"You want something special? Here's a bunch of images you've seen before. WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THEM?!!?! SEE THE LITTLE DIABLO BAR AT THE BOTTOM!?!?! LOOK CLOSER!!!"

"THAT'S NEW LOL!!!"
