It'l probably be whatever made sense, however points wise, i was a newbie, only the equipment was at the level

[adwarf]

I say the latter on the character sheet. It sounds like it'll have so much more potential hilarity.

More seriously, Wolf did get his guys and his guns around the first turn, so I'd imagine the former is correct.

1.) [Rated-R Graphical Scene Removed]  Summary: I got shot while streaking butt naked through a technocrat base.
2.) That is Good

[SeriousConcentrate]

Tarran's probably right, although Ashley getting that stuff could be because she's associated with a certain faction already. Guess we'll have to wait and see. ^^^

The only genres I avoid are sports games (don't care about sports in general) and motion-controlled games (I mean I've played Wii stuff at a friend's house but the gimmick just isn't compelling enough to make me want to get the system, and I'd imagine that goes for Kinect and Move as well). :\ Other than that, I'll pretty much play anything once. I like it when games have at least some cosmetic customization like AC:Brotherhood (dying clothes) or Saint's Row 2 (character creation = massive points in SC's book. That and I think the game's hilarious), but other than that I like a lot of action, from Contra down to Gears of War. :3

Yep, and  I think I might get certain gear, or relations due to my criminal record (It takes alot of work to make a thousand pieces of tech, and distribute over half of that to a rebel group after all.)

Character Customization is really good to, but I also like to see voiced main characters  (They are so rare now a days) I wouldn't mine having a set gender, name, or look if the character is actually voiced (EX: Commander Shepard)

[SeriousConcentrate]

Spoiler: Off-Topic (click to show/hide)

I think voice acting can hurt certain kinds of games. For example, Oblivion and Morrowind. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike either game, but I think Oblivion suffers from the fact they made every single line voiced. A lot of lines didn't need it, like repeating a rumor everyone else in town is going to tell you. Morrowind had a ton of quest mods and such, and were easily made by the fact that only characters and lines important to the story - other than a few battle cries and standard greetings, of course - had acting. There's a lot of cosmetic mods for Oblivion, which are awesome since it has better graphics, but it doesn't seem like there's really any mods that give you anything to do with the gear.

On the other hand, though, I absolutely love the climax of Army of Two: 40th Day, where Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios are battling up the steps of a temple, mostly because of the voice acting. Rios and Salem are just beaten down and weary by everything they've been through over the past 24 hours and their actors do a fantastic job of conveying that, and even though it's a ridiculously hard section I didn't mind restarting it from the checkpoint every time I got killed because I liked the acting that much. The next to last mission in Ace Combat 5, as well, benefits from the voice acting, from the pilots of all nations singing a peace song as they join your squadron to Crispin Freeman's character growling 'like a wild dog' as he tries to take you down. Damn I love that game. :3

Never played a  Ace Combat game in my life, but that sounds awesome. As for what I meant for voice acting I only like it when its well done, well planned, and actually fits well, and doesn't drive you insane like the Prefects lines from Harry Potter: The Chamber of Secrets (PS2)

[Zako]

Personally, I like to branch out into multiple types of games. I don't really mind what types of games I play most of the time, if it isn't silly that is, just as long as the game is good. I personally still like to play RE5, and indeed I think that it is a LOT better than RE4, but I haven't played any of the series before that, not counting RE outbreak: file #2 (it's on PS2).

Lately, I have been playing Baldur's Gate 2. It is really fun, and I love that my parents gave it to me as a present years ago as part of the collectors edition. <3 I also play a lot of Steam games.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Even though I like it I don't play RE5 that much; most of the replay is in getting high scores in the Mercs mode (which I don't have the patience for) or playing against people in Versus (which I don't care to do). I still play the campaign every once in a while for fun though. :3 So what do you think of BG2? I bought it off of GOG.com but what with one thing and another I haven't actually gotten around to playing it yet (I still need to get through BG1 so I can import my character >.>).

I figured since I helped derail the thread I should probably help out, so I'm recapping everybody's actions here so you don't have to go looking around for them.

Tarran: "See, here, there are multiple problems with your offer.

1: You are not telling me what is behind the door. It could be a horrible monster, a very hazardous material, or a bunch of your friends. What is in that room?

2: I have no way to tell if you're lying about the truce or not. I do not expect you to convince me on this point, but I expect you to at least come up with a reasonable excuse.

3: You are not telling me anything about your leader. I don't care how damn far away an understandable comparison is, I want a damn comparison."

If he doesn't at least try to answer 1 or 3, fire a round from my Chimera pistol into him/it and walk away back into the room where the rest of the deadheads are. If he does at least try, then continue listening.

Taric: (snipped conversation) Follow Dom.

Dom: (snipped conversation) Lead Taric (and possibly Ashley) back to the only door she hasn't tried in the corridor she just came from.

James: "I didn't ask for you to  be "hit by the gender-bender rail" either so stop trying to beat me up like an insane person. It'll help no one. The only thing you could possibly do is harm to both of us, and will that help you? No. Do you think I want my mind screwed up? No. You're an idiot!"

Ashley: "I was just letting him know how much of an idiot he had been, now let us go explore a bit further and tarric, TOUCH NOTHING!"

Dude, I am playing it right now and I am loving it. Basically, when compared to BG1, EVERYTHING is better. Also, don't forget that there is an expansion for it as well, which I have. And you start pre-leveled in BG2, but without your gear from BG1 if you import.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Well, yeah, but that's like starting Mass Effect 2 without a save file from Mass Effect 1: you're just starting in the middle of the story. ^^^ I did hear it was supposed to be the best RPG evar, or at least the best D&D based one... I'll have to give it a shot one of these days. ^^^

[wolfchild]

Its brilliant, and Serious if you want to use the BG2 engine (which I feel is better) for the BG1 game, search for BG TUTU which will allow you to play the BG1 story with all the spells, class and mechanics changes etc. from bg2

[Zako]

I would recommend playing it soon. True, some things do get passed on from BG1, but nothing major. And the voice acting in this is really good at times, especially with Irenicus. God, that man makes me shiver from time to time. And you have to keep in mind that it was made YEARS ago!

I still haven't beat Mass Effect one have owned 1, and 2 for five months now, and I have only played it a total of 15 hours Bad thing is I own nearly 200 games, and have only beat a few games (Assassin' Creed 1 & 2, Disgaea 1 & 2, Halo Wars, Halo 1 & 3, Oblivion, RE5 (With my Brother, and on all Difficulties), Fallout 3, Samurai Warriors 1 & 2, Arcania 4 - Gothic, Dynasty Warriors 4-5 (Normal & Extreme), Maybe 1 or 2 more I have missed.

[SeriousConcentrate]

If I may be allowed a bit of bragging I platinumed ME1 and 2. :3 I don't get to do that a lot because most games have some multiplayer achievements that I don't care about getting. :\ Gears of War is pretty bad about this with I think 1,000,000 multiplayer kills to get one in the first game, and nah, I'm not doing that, especially this late in a game's life. Anyway, if it's a lack of interest on your part that's one thing, but if it's a matter of difficulty I suggest using either the Soldier or Infiltrator class in ME1; they get access to an ability called Immunity that is ridiculously broken. Basically once you max that out (and the relevant class evolution, which is Shock Trooper for both iirc) that ability makes you all but invincible for 60 seconds, and the cooldown on it is like 55 seconds... so basically every time it runs out you can just activate it again. You do have to put time in to ME1 if you want to see everything, though; I can run straight through the campaign doing as little sidequesting as possible in about five hours on a repeat playthrough, but it takes about 30 or 40 to do everything whether or not you're using a character you previously beat the game with.

@wolfchild & Zako: I have the BG TUTU, but I dunno. It's the same problem I have with NWN and Morrowind and Oblivion. I'll make a character, get like twenty minutes in, want to try a different style, get twenty minutes in, want to try a different style, start back at one. What class do you guys recommend?

Much obliged, but unnecessary... You only made four standard pages worth of posts to saw through.

Anyway, serious was right I was off volunteering at the OK state fair, pulled an evil shift (No susie, you can't feed sand to your little brother.) and ended up too tired to move when I got home, let alone write.

However, I'm jazzed now so... I'm bored! Let's go damnit! (There's an undefinable bonus for determining where that last part is from.)

PS. However I can't make a map from a public terminal, so I guess I'll have to run a turn when I get home as well, if that's alright with you guys...
