I don't even view the move as "gutsy". Just sensible. At most, ever, I'd like to see maybe 1 more species. Other than that, there's absolutely no need for dwarves, elves, draconoids, halflings and whatever omgthisissocoolIwanttoplayonelol-"race" you can come up with. It probably helps that my favourite fantasy author is David Eddings, not Tolkien.
[quote who="Tridus" reply="22" id="2316530"]The random map generator was reasonably good at making fair maps. It wasn't as good at making "interesting" maps compared to what the map editor could do. AoW had very pretty maps if you spent a lot of time with the doodads and such. I've never seen a map generator get that type of accessory right, in any game.[/quote]There's nothing like the loving touch of a creator.

Had a ton of problems with getting hold of all the patch files (for those of us with a fresh installation). Got some great help on the forums, since the official download servers for the patches appear to be down. Just felt that I should share in case the issue pops up for anyone else; http://www.thewitcher.com/forum/index.php?topic=25061.0 [quote who="woca" reply="9" id="23162
Kids, this is what anti-freeze do to you. Stay off it. [quote who="bane_solemon" reply="14" id="2315806"]Why? its his thread and its in off-topics its not like they force you to read it.[/quote]Off-topic doesn't mean "No-topic".
[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="6" id="2316096"] But then, just because something is unique doesn't mean it isn't useful....

[quote who="Vordrak" reply="21" id="2316044"]This is beautiful. I can tell you now what people will ask for in an expansion though. (i) More spells (ii) More creatures (iii) More races + equipment / armour (iv) More content Basically ... they'll be after more canon content.[/quote]Excellent deductive capabilities, there.

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="15" id="2316032"]I actually would rather not see lava as default terrein for Death factions: volcanic wastes are not suitable for much habitation (although the soil further away is good for farming), and the sort of creatures that live there are not what I would think of as belonging to a "perverted" ecology.[/quote]When I think of "dying" water terrain, I think sluggish, swamplike water that is more likely than not filled with enormous leeches.

Arrrrgh. I can't find my manual. For one reason or another, it's not in my casing. Why, oh why did they print the CD-key on the manual and not in the casing? :(

I want SD staff to fix the darn flaws that trap us into producing double-posts when their own Forum pages switch into not recording the replies within refresh "time".

[quote who="Tridus" reply="14" id="2314245"]Yep, this seems pretty standard. Though if you make a custom game, presumably you could use a custom race like in Galciv and then just mix it up however you like.[/quote]Exactly. The Empires = Fallen = Death Magic and Kingdoms = Human = Life Magic is only relevant in the context of the lore and campaign. I'd be very suprised if Fallen/
Favourite: Bears. Least Favourite: Horses.
"Empires" and "Kingdoms" are only relevant for the premade factions, as is the Fallen/Human present dichotomy. Presumably, you'll also be able to define wheter your Sovereign and/or Channelers will be using Life or Death independant from your choice of race. In my own interpretation, of course.
YES! YES! YEEEEEEEEES! *gasms*
I've never managed to get any Playstation emulator to get properly up and running, such as the easy-to-use ZSNES and VisualBoyAdvance emulators. But one game I'd like to recommend is Xenogears. Absolutely ace game.
Superman is a gargantuan faggot compared to Batman. In a straight-out battle, though, I'd say Superman.
I use it all the time.
