What O/S is running on that? ( the airship isabella ) Just found your website, real nice. Cool that you guys could channel your energies into something creative like that. Wish I could pursue something like that, but most of my constructive energies are put to use on mundane home improvements. Proba...

That's really impressive, great work.

Is that free-standing?

Oh yeah, dig it!

Good stuff, where do you always get those great pics of him?

Bethesda did not want to pay the 50 million the Caen boys were asking and Bethesda thought (my guess), sure.. let them keep it and we will put some obstacles that a near bankrupt company surely cant overcome. problem is they overcame them and were well on the way to getting the game made proper. I ...

Nice scoop KOC. Seeing as how Interplay isn't exactly swimming in cash, their MMO is probably Bulgarian vaporware and they had a pretty decent case, I can only speculate that Bethesda is doing the settling here. Waiting for the other shoe to drop though. I guess the white elephant in the room is the...

Codex went in the shitter after Oblivion came out and all the Bethtard refugees came over.
And VD leaving.

I saw the Swedish one, and it was pretty good, although a little on the rough side with the rape. Although the chick in the American version is one alien looking skank with no eyebrows and shit, at least the Swedish chick had somewhat of a nice ass IIRC. Immigrant Song and Sweden? Trite much?\ My on...

It's a Wii exclusive.

Graphix whore.

Looks aiight, but I'm not really interested in MMOs, and after FOBOS Interplay has a lot to prove and make up for.

I think running around in funny costumes and blowing shit up has its place - Saints Row 3 is a brilliant execution of it. What gets me is everything out there with few exceptions is a mediocre to all right execution of a first person shooter. Yeah, I don't have a problem with SR3. Personally, I don...

Now it's no longer graphic artists but wannabe movie writers/directors with their drawn out cutscenes, their ultra-realism and their "this-game-has-to-be-accessible-to-everyone-within-the-5-to-50-demographic" concept of gameplay and mechanics leading to shallow concepts and shoddy executi...

Bethesda's claims seem pretty weak from my perspective. It looks like they are just flailing around desperately trying to prevent Interplay from getting the precioussss, and using some really poor arguments to achieve that.. I'd like to see Bethesda lose this case, and I like the idea of Interplay g...

Sid Meier is great, I find myself firing up Gettysburg! or Alpha Centauri once in a while. Great game designer. When everything else seems to be moving to this free-roaming shooter (i.e. run around and do kewl shit) he's always kept the focus on strong mechanics and deep, sustained gameplay.

Nice find. Pre-Herve Interplay always gave me good vibes. Bard's Tale I can remember playing as a kid, got BGI when it first came out. Good synopsis from what I've seen so far. It is kind of lame how an innovative, risk-taking group like that tanked while studios and publishers that pump out profita...

Shifter is a pretty reasonable mod that tightens the game up.

Really enjoyed the Nameless Mod. More of a total game conversion, really long and tightly put together. The only downside is all the in-jokes. I don't know anything about that scene, so it does nothing for me.

the combat system is revamped, the graphics are pretty, the magic system received a complete overhaul, as did mamy aspects. That really has nothing to do with making it a good RPG. Choice and consequences, a dynamic world that reacts to your actions, well written dialogue that's what makes a good R...

There's a couple good graphics mods worth doing - HDTP and one other. I always went with rifles. Make sure you carry a versatile arsenal - lethal/non-lethal, silenced/noisy, melee/ranged. DX was always good at making you overcome different situations with different tactics. Game was a lot more strae...

I'm surprised Bethesda legal is so inept. They had the chance to close the door on Herve for good, but I think they got too cute. It was obvious from the beginning that they were going to set Interplay up to fail and then pull the rug out from under them. Then Bethesda could walk away with all the m...

They still don't do demos, huh? Can't have people thinking for themselves.
Typical Bethesda, shiny but shallow RPG-lite.

Making RPGs for people who hate RPGs.

They are to RPGs what TacoBell is to mexican food.
