That looks great. Do do realize we sound like a flock of children shouting "more, more more", but is there any chance we can get some examples of different architectural styles? We've been told (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that there's going to be a number of choosable styles, as to how towns and such will look. That looks like some kind of mongolian mordor style. I want Crystal Spire style, Ruski Onion-Dome style, Indigo Bear style, Mordorian Necropolis style! The l

Wow, I really don't put much stock in "Game of the Year", but I really wasn't expecting Sins to grab any GotY award. I really should give the game a chance, it seems.

Here's the 3 new ones, the three crystals, in the usual avatar form. ( Link ) I *think* that these are the only new ones, please inform me if I've missed a medallion anywhere. :) <img src="http://img17

Edit3: And I agree with the sentiments that the Air Crystal is by far the "weakest" one in the lot, although I can't put my finger on as to why. I adore the others, though. When can we see a life crystal? :D Here's the 3 new ones, the three crystals, in the usual avatar form.

[quote who="TheColourOfHeartache" reply="22" id="1979702"]I use the term "death magic" as shorthand for "the aspect of life magic that is used to reduce life, or contact / control the dead". resurrection would require "death magic" to contact the soul and life magic in its positive aspect to heal the body.[/quote]I disagree. They've already said that the Life element of both Good and Evil persuasion will be able to heal, for example, but they'll do it in different ways. To deal with spirits o

[quote who="Mazuo" reply="4" id="1979136"]This would be where you misunderstood what I wrote. I'm talking about the fight. You can kill him using all sorts of tactics and parties. As for Rings of the Ram and laying down a hundred traps before the fight, boo. I prefer the legitimate methods of kicking his ass. [/quote]Yeah, I totally read you wrong.

[quote who="Mazuo" reply="1" id="1977273"]Kangaxx was perfect in that he was brutally hard, but you weren't forced down some linear path of things you HAD to do in order to defeat him. I read or saw many ways people killed him back when I still played it.[/quote]What are you talking about? The summoning of Kangaxx is a very linear quest path, as you have to gather his remains first, from various tombs in Athkatla. That being said, I loved the Kangaxx fight initially. Of course, now I kn

[quote who="TheColourOfHeartache" reply="19" id="1978559"]Well to summerise my response: I now understand your point better, but I still somewhat disagree (at least its an informed disagreement this time ) Firstly in regards to Holy: Now you've clarified it mostly fits with caviats, searing light and sunbeam have nothing to do with Life, banish undead is purely a necromancy spell (and as a pure attack spell its also a "negative"), heal fits, resurrection requires both life and dea

[quote who="Vandenburg" reply="4" id="1977782"]Totally agree. It wasn't that bad in GalCivII, since I usually didn't had that many designs anyway (there wasn't that much different options in the end). But in Alpha Centauri it was horrible. I had dozens over dozens of different designs that were cluttering up its (bad) interface and I groaned each time I had researched a new item , since it meant changing a dozen plans. In the end I didn't really bother upgrading my designs by

[quote who="tetleytea" reply="13" id="1977891"] You might check your motherboard manual to see what types of graphic cards it will support before you purchase a new card. Shouldn't PCI Express support all PCI Express? I just got burned installing a GeForce 9800. The computer didn't even recognize it was there. I installed a much lower-end card and it worked fine. I think it's cause the card is rated at 400W, and my power supply is only 300W.

[quote who="TheColourOfHeartache" reply="16" id="1977900"] [...] By the way, just what does "traditional" holy have to do with Life anyway? There are some forms of belief that hold all life as sacred. Traditonal holy magic is all about the god, not life. I think that life magic would be a mixture of Nature and Necromancy, with both good and evil spells for each. I suppose that is holy magic to any beief system that holds all life sacred.[/quote]I'm talking

While we're on the subject of variable magics of Good vs. Evil, I'd like to say that while the Death of Life Magic is very interesting, I'd rather like to see some examples of how this will work with the OTHER Elemental magics. How does Good vs. Evil Fire magic work? What I'd prefer is a Positive vs. Negative spectrum instead, with 'positive' obviously being "good" while 'negative' would be "evil" (overall). For example, contrary to what some other game developers seem to thi

Anybody who doesn't like tactical combat or doesn't want to deal with it won't feel that they are missing anything by pressing auto-resolve. My point is that there is going to be tactical combat in the game. And if the combat is going to be half-assed, then the people who like tactical combat will be disappointed, while the people who don't like tactical combat or don't w

[quote who="Tamren" reply="6" id="1975782"]I once had a discussion on winged humanoids. In DnD and other places humans with wings are a common feature. But in real life you would need a wingspan of over 40 feet, and that is just if you want to glide. Powered flight is probably impossible because we don't have room for any more muscles and wings can't be connected to any of the existing muscles.
