I also love the guards in my Tavern, when they see monsters coming out of the well--"Tis your lives to waste!"

Yeah, it brings back memories of Drizzt in BG1. It was battlecry actually...ahh BG1, those were the days....

Heck, I've bought BG, BGII, and NWN twice each 'cause I wear 'em out. I've got the spare manuals to prove it.

Hey, I paid 50 bucks for the game and 40 for the expansion but I can't play them on my PC. I am using a CD/RW drive and don't have a CD-ROM drive. It can't even read my ORIGINAL NWN & SoU CDs... and I am really pissed at it. Somehow the 'CD-Protection' thingie, disallow me to install/play it in my CD/RW drive.. Grrr...

But very fortunatelly, I can get it to work on my laptop's DVD/CD-ROM drive.

Ilythiiri you might want to thing about getting a new CDROM drive. On www.pricewatch.com you can get a 56X one shipped to you for $18.93. Not to bad.

If you have a legit copy, and the secuROM protection gives you greif, the bug atari about it (the more people that complain the better, eventualy they will remove it for NWN) and install a no-cd crack.

Software companies are starting to go way overboard, I have been caught out by games that cant be played in a CDR before.

Granamere, thanks very much for your concern and offer. But unfortunately I don't live in US. I live in Australia, and the shipping rates are a bit on the high side. :embarrassed:

You might want to see if your cdrom has a patch. If it is a lite-on the site for the patch is http://www.liteonit.com.tw/ODD/engli...ex-english.htm
This is a patch for the BIOS on the CDROM burner itself. It might help if you have a lite-on burner.
