First of all we have:
Torment: Tides of Numenera

The people who did the Wasteland 2 Kickstarter have another one going for a game that is inspired by Planescape: Torment. It isn't set in the planescape universe, instead it will be set in Numenera, a new RPG setting. It seems to be isometric, with companions and plenty of dialogue like PST had, though! You will get to choose the gender of your character this time :D Which I am thrilled about. It looks like it will be a pretty interesting game, and with George Ziets (NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer) and now ]]> http://shadesofnight.deviantart.com/journal/NWN2-BGEE-and-NWN-HotU-343460038 http://shadesofnight.deviantart.com/journal/NWN2-BGEE-and-NWN-HotU-343460038 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:42:33 PST NWN2, BGEE, and NWN: HotU nonadult journals/personal ShadesofNight http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/h/shadesofnight.gif Copyright 2012-2013 ~ShadesofNight
NWN2 Facelift Pack
If you love playing NWN2/its expansions, or even if you've never played it but might be willing to try it sometime... This in progress mod may be of interest to you. For those of you who've played NWN2: Yes, this means elves that don't look so strange. This mod is creating new and very nice looking faces to replace the default heads of all the player races (though I think you can choose to have them as well as the defaults so they don't override the originals) and the companion NPCs.

I'll try to stay spoiler-free for those who don't have the game yet/aren't able to play due to lag/are waiting/are never going to get it.
Hint: Do not go to the wiki, especially to look up info on any of the characters if you don't want to be spoiled. I went to look something up when it was still full of speculation and got spoiled by the mention of a leaked image.

So... I was tossing up between going with the Demon Hunter or Monk class, started both, and ended up going with a female monk.

I guess I'll try to start with the earlier ones. It's been a while so I don't remember many details, but I do know that these are great games. Some of these will be on gog.com, if not then you can probably find them on any abandonware sites.

Kingdom of Aaaaaghh

I have to agree with a comment I saw by Epantiras that it does indeed look very Wowish in style (hello huge weapons and bright colours).

The demo itself is a decent length, though a bit buggy. When I went to create a character I was instantly struck by the idea that I would LOVE to see those heads ( the female elf heads anyway, I didn't look at the others) popped over into NWN2.

Also, I started up a tumblr account a while ago here! I forgot it, then remembered it again. There are a lot of BJD, MLP, and figure photos, but I dumped several sketches at the start.

I finally got around to playing through the Darkspawn Chronicles and Leliana's Song DLCs the other day (mainly because they were standalone so I didn't have to load a game and try to remember where I was up to or start a new game. I also don't have Witch Hunt yet so I couldn't try that out.

It was what you'd expect, running around killing stuff. Staying at a spawn point for ages just to get your influence up to full with each type of darkspawn.

First a big warning: This game is jam-packed full of bugs! More than any Obsidian game that I've ever played (and they've got a little bit of a reputation for it). If you can't stand bugs, wait until a few patches are out. If you can tolerate them then look to the DA wiki for guidance, and google/the bioware social site. Until they've patched it always do the Blackmarsh last.

I found the story a lot more interesting and less run-of-the-mill than the DA: O one.

- Sora (.hacksign)
- Souis.
To be coloured:
- Trelf
- The AE (Angry Exile)
