Oh my GAWD, that's a wicked game...anyone try their hand at it yet?

Is it that good? i read a preview that said it´s a hidden FPS with some fright and horror in it, is that true??

I have it, scheduled to play it when I'm done with HoW. I generally try not to play more than 1 game at a time so I can become more involved with it. I'm almost done with HoW so I'll be joining you in the lands of the screamers soon. I've played it for about 10 minutes so far, looks good!

It's an FPS, but with all kinds of twists to it. For example you use weapon in your left hand and cast spells in your right. It's a very scary story, well, written by Clive Barker you can see where I'm going there. I love it, haven't needed a walkthrough yet (I'm bad with shooters that way)though there have been a couple of times that I've needed to take a day or two away from it to get a fresh perspective, then the solution is usually much clearer. I love that in a game. Scary thing is, I'm on easy and getting my ass handed to me on a regular basis!

Couldn't you order it direct? You could probably get it from Amazon.com, I know that you can order it direct from the manufacturer, EA. Does it work differently for out of country purchases?

WOLFGIR · 03-07-2001, 11:06 AM

Well it takes some time and since the European versions uses another standard on the Keyboard the games work better.. And it takes time to get the order done too... But well if the blasted publishers and re-distributors could hurry up their decision process the games could be released worldwide instead of here and there.. NWN, is that gonna be a drag, starting at lvl 1 on hop along to the net just to be sliced into itty bitty pieces by players who has had along time to play it.. grr, gonna need bodyguards..

PvP= Player versus Player.
Someone who engages in the practice of dueling with other player characters. Nothing wrong with it, but it was always a problem in the original NwN back in the old days, where an evil guild would come across your party and blast you to smithereens for the sport of it. In it's place, it's very appropriate, though!

Ahh, Ok, In Diablo I was part of a group that sought out cheaters and hunted them down in a X-mus game on a server here in Gothenburg, he great fun and really appreciated, we had a board similiar (not as fancy and well working Z,!) but non the less a board where people could report cheaters.. We were going for a 24 oir X-mus bash! Great gaming!
