Reply to Sans Lincoln in Everything Else Elemental Forums

I think the emancipation proclamation would probably have been delayed, perhaps until the end of the American Civil War. Whether or not it became a reality after that would depend on who "won". Certainly if the slave states had won, there would not have been as strong civil rights for slaves for many years to come. But in the end, the slave states taking the victory seems unlikely given how disastrous the war was for them. I think it's profoundly unfair to envision Lincoln as some

Reply to Divinity: Original Sin in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Ending spoilers: [spoiler]I kind of wish I had played it in coop from the start. I didn't realize that they'd weave the 2-playable-characters scenario so much into the story and ending. That said... for about the last 5 minutes of the game, apparently my characters are in love with each other? That really came out of nowhere, surely it didn't fit at all. The only hint of the "souls" being in love with each other was some hand-holding in the early cinematics. I would much r

Reply to Do You Even Anime? in Movies & TV & Books Elemental Forums

Reading the Naruto manga and watching the anime. Wishing they'd continue the Berzerk anime. Stein:s gate is probably my favourite. Watched the Redline movie the other day, pretty damn good. Sitting on a copy of Colourful, no idea what to expect from that. Watched the live action Death Note movies also, absolutely awful.

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="7" id="3478127"] Is this a sequel or reboot? [/quote] There are other Divinity games set in the same world, but this is a stand-alone experience as far as I can tell. You're not losing anything by starting with it.

Probably special code so that karma you give shows up immediately, that way people don't think it doesn't work. My guess is the delay is shown for everyone else. This is likely part of a bigger effort to obfuscate karma to avoid spammers exploiting it to appear "liked". Spammer X makes account Y and Z. He makes account Y like Z. On account Y it shows, but not on Z. Spammer then thinks he can't exploit it. Just a thought.

[quote who="UmbralAngel" reply="3" id="3478052"] I don't like it that much. There are lots of flaws with the balance of the game and the game design in general. Part of the problem is classless systems make for bland characters in most cases. Hopefully the content released in the future will address some of these problems.[/quote] I think the classless thing is mostly a thing in the beginning. Later on you really need the right attributes, and th

Divinity: Original Sin in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Divinity: Original Sin was released during the Steam summer sale and has been hugging its #1 most sold list since (despite only being 25% off for a day and then full price since). [video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mea7Pa3rhJU[/video] My opinion: This is the best RPG ever released for PC. It's a more colourful, more humorous Baldur's Gate. It's filled with high fantasy elements, although your only real friends are all humans. The pen-and-paper parts of combat a

Reply to Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes 1.7 changelog in LH Support Elemental Forums

I think class limitations would make sense for some specific weapons. Shield of the Sentinel is a good example. Magic staffs another.

Reply to Xcom within and unknown in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I think enemy within is a much better game. The addition of meld generators on most maps means you can't be too careful or you'll miss upgrades. And if you play on higher difficulty it gets REALLY hard (as it should). So yeah, definitely play enemy within right away.

Wouldn't that fee be "baked into" into the price of the key? As far as I understand, it isn't.

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="11" id="3472883"] Will it have multiplayer?[/quote] I really hope the game will have multiplayer. It wouldn't work from a lore/story perspective given the premise of the game, but it could be really fun to fight against a committed enemy together in a sort of coop strategy game. Edit: Oops, quoted myself.

Reply to Modding questions/help thread in LH Modding Elemental Forums

You actually can make an event that triggers when a certain unittype hits a level, and then replace it with another. It would only be of limited use but you could have say a pet dragon and then perform quests that ultimately determine how it develops. There was a mod in E:wom that had you get darklings and once you leveled one to level 5 you could replace it with a darkling shaman to lead the others.
