[quote who="Aseir" reply="25" id="2721673"] Quoting Randorama, reply 9I'd rather see a roughly written but polite and constructive post from a non-native English speaker (or a native English speaker for that matter), than an ugly, angry rant in stellar English anyday. Actually, I think it would be pretty awesome to see a well thought out rant with varied, creative language and stellar grammar... But the odds of that happening are less than getting struck by lightning... T

[quote who="Fuzzy Logic" reply="21" id="2721622"] Anyway, I'm pretty sure all languages have periods. Probably, though in English we call them a full stop.[/quote]In fact we don't, normally. Perhaps you're thinking of some odd local dialect? Regardless, any reputable academia teaches the proper word when teaching small children to write, so your local variant will likely fall out of favor with increased educational standards.

Well, this got really pathetic really quickly.

[quote who="MagicWeasel" reply="3" id="2721585"]This is why the Dark Ages happened.[/quote]Okay, that amused me.

WIS is what Willpower is derived from, Raven. So, a WIS based save. And I don't know that there's no horniness modifier. I would imagine that's a calculation that would happen under the hood. It would be sort of immersion-breaking to be told "Your sovereign has received +8 Horniness!"

[quote quoting="post"]I dont see the item any more up for update to full verison in my impluse any more where they having problems and took down the update all to gethere due to all registruation issues ?[/quote]I'm having difficulty understanding you. Could you try rephrasing?

[quote who="searchforwisdom" reply="77" id="2721486"]Well my thread asking for help was just deleted so in my looking around I found this thread to be the most relevant to my issue. Long story short I had heard about this game and wanted to check it out. Didnt have a good idea of the release date, I actually thought it was in September. Today I was in a store, saw this game and bought it. I came home, installed it, and immediately was greeted with a box saying "the gam

Why would you use Intelligence to resist that sort of effect?

[quote who="Tridus" reply="8" id="2721480"] Quoting Bodyless, reply 7 Quoting Tridus, reply 4I don't know about in Europe, but in North America Starcraft 2 was priced as any standard 360/PS3 game. PC games had been running at a relative discount. thats because pc gamers do not have to play platform royalities, unlike PS/Xbox ect. games, where 8$ or so go to the platform owner. And they get the benefit of reduced development costs due to only h

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="27" id="2721448"]If you load up Impulse and use your serial # you can download the latest retail release version and it will work. That is how that person on YouTube got it to work.[/quote]Any idea yet as to why this is happening?

[quote who="searchforwisdom" reply="14" id="2721401"]I mean this turned a perfect afternoon into a big let down. The wife is napping... the baby is napping... I'm off of work... I am holding the game in my hand....................... and I am powerless.......[/quote]You're not powerless. You could try uninstalling it and Impulse, disconnecting your internet, and reinstalling. It could work. I don't see why it's not working in the first place though, unless you tried to update the game.

[quote who="TheProgress" reply="113" id="2721300"] You have no idea what you're talking about - so stop talking. How do you think SC2 manages to alt-tab perfectly well while older, less resource intensive applications cannot? A roll of the dice?[/quote]Um, what? I don't know if he's right or not, because I don't know much about coding except in general, but I do know that your understanding of it is flawed. The fault here probably lies on more than one set of shoulders. I'm thinking that

[quote who="solidsmooky" reply="17" id="2721306"]Which ever one has the largest breasts. This is how I pick for all of my games.[/quote]Breast size isn't related to any non-aesthetic aspects of the character. You can think of stuff beyond that to plan for.

I'll probably make a fairly bland self-based character at first, just to try out the system. Unless I get a cool idea when looking at my options, and just roll with that.

Impulse works more like an online store in many cases. When buying things, that's how you should expect it to function.

[quote who="garyriley1982" reply="3" id="2720963"]umm... you CAN... you just buy it through Impulse, and order the boxed version - they will send you the cd-key via e-mail[/quote] The problem with that is that then you have to pay for shipping. And it's not necessarily very cheap. It shows an estimate of ten dollars for me, I don't know how it is for folks in other parts of the world.

They should get there Tuesday. Whether they actually do may be dependant on the delivery company.

[quote who="dragoaskani" reply="7" id="2720441"]On my way to bed since its 3:30 am, then get up go to work, and get off at 6pm to come home and hopefully find Elemental waiting. Start download and head down to grocery store to buy groceries while impulse does its thing.[/quote]Preorders also get it earlier (which was always planned, as far as I know). The dates for preorders and beta testers have been moved up due to broken street date by brick and mortar shops. Official release is still the

[quote who="Jeslijar" reply="60" id="2720351"]Plus theres the pirate factor. If a game does not require very strict DRM like ubi's awful requires-the-internet-to-play-single-player and a pirate gets ahold of a release copy, it will be everywhere. You can't really count how many people pirate games, but if a game is out there for people to download before its even on sale that has got to kill the sales. The only positive argument i've ever heard for piracy is that it can get the game popu

[quote who="Mobella" reply="60" id="2720184"] i dont know... i personally dig the color scheme, pallette and overall graphics design... maybe im just getting old... [/quote] I missed this before. I like it too, I think it's great. That's mostly a potential fix for a problem someone else perceived. There's always details that can stand to be improved a bit. Doesn't mean it's not beautiful as is.

[quote who="Darknaj" reply="24" id="2720322"]With such a heavy amount of DragonLance lovers I think I'll have to step up and represent Forgotten Realms in some way shape or form. Even if it's just a campaign. Granted I did really enjoy the Fall of Heavens mod for Civ. So summoning a hell on earth may also be a worthy endeavour of mine to looking into.[/quote] Forgotten Realms would pretty much have to be just a campaign, it's too complicated for a full con

[quote who="Beric01" reply="56" id="2720312"]Wow, this sucks. Take legal action, if at possible. Even if it will derive you little monetary benefit. This trashing of indie developers cannot continue. And wow, thanks for the early release.[/quote]I imagine it would cost quite a bit. More than Stardock can afford to throw away just to make a point, probably.

[quote who="Luckmann" reply="5" id="1941691"] I don't have friends. I've always wanted to play PnP RPG, but never had the opportunity. I've even got a whole bunch of books, from Warhammer (Fantasy & 40k both), to Vampire, to all DnD. In .pdf's, at least. [/quote]I know how that goes. Real bummer.

This sounds like something that folks could easily mod in - and if well executed, it could be made "canon" by the devs, and thus everybody would get it. Assuming I understand that process right.

[quote who="Tasunke" reply="67" id="2720242"]I think the point was that if you need little things like grass to be 3-D, it really raises the graphics standards of the entire game. Sure the ground cover could use "a little bit of induced noise" but that doesn't mean having ground textures actually be 3-D. With the current art style, 3-D grass would likely look out of place. There are already many objects (in some locations/settings) that are indeed 3-D,
