Originally posted by wellard: I notice your earlier post Attalus saying that your computer is on its way to being 4 years old, same age as mine though like an old axe its had a new head and two new handles in that time The computer is still playing up ... bios problems as well as others.. and the amount of time available these days is so limited. long gone are the days when I could read every single post in the Oasis and Ironworks GD forum.

Yeah, time changes. I am really sick of this computer, and almost have enough saved for a real gaming computer. I get ill when I read those posts where they say, "Meh, Dragon Age won't be out until 2007, you'll have a new computer by then." Not bloody likely. Hopefully I'll be able to play DA and NWN II on my new computer.

Originally posted by Bungleau: I've played Divine Divinity, Johnny. A couple of us here have... there are some threads buried in Misc Games about it. 'Twas fun enough, but as far as I could tell, the key to success was being a warrior with a cold sword of some kind... everything got easy then.

Well, i'm a survivor, i guess that's their name for Rogue or thief,a nd it's pretty hard when i run into the wrong places. I'm having most trouble with finding my way around in this world though. There is an automap, but there's no names on it, or special marks if you have done something in particular in some place. Also, i keep running into people who tell me they mark something on my map, but i never get to see what exactly they marked. Am i missing something here ?

Currently listening to Nina Simone's "My Baby Just Cares For Me", so no worries. ... Yeah! I bet you guys are suprised I'm not a total cultural barbarian!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Found a sample of it http://ourlyrics.net/mp3_lofi_85707

Yep, that tune definitely rocked da house.

Originally posted by johnny: Anyone here ever played Divine Divinity ? I started playing it for the first time this afternoon, although i had the game for quite some time now. Worked my way through the first dungeon, and i'm not sure what to think of it. A feeling of dejavu perhaps....it's a lot like Diablo, maybe even a little like Sacred. Addictive though, that's for sure.

Little hard at first.. great fun later. Especially returning late in the game to butcher everything that initially gave me a hard time was very satisfying. It does look like a diablo-clone at first, but you get alot more freedom because the whole world is immediatally available. Also, the dialogues are bit more extensive.

I had a rough time as a survivor. You're supposed to use stealth in your actions... quite tricky for me.

If you scroll around on the automap, you'll see what they marked. You just won't see the path of how to get there... 'cause you see the whole map at once. I think there are two or three map sections, but it's been a while.

Keep looking... you'll find 'em [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hm...can anyone tell me what's wrong when all my animated gifs are frozen ? Like the one i'm using as a sig for instance ? Y'all might see it waving like it's supposed to, but for me it looks frozen. Same goes for the "rolleyes" smilie from this site. Basically everything that should be moving is kinda dead. Is this a Macromedia issue or something ?
