Maybe they still will, the lack of it isn't a deal breaker for me but definitely puts it lower on the list of must-get games. <br /><br />I happen to remember games like Neverwinter Nights and Vampire: Redemption having amazing GM kits and it makes me sad that this model is used less and less. Bethesda has incorporated nice features, but their potential is somewhat blunted by the lack of multiplayer in their games. <br /><br />Anyhow it's probably on my list for play this Christmas when i get some time off.Helmsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05248835491973291242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678761812929125529.post-91960653841267719922009-11-11T10:58:32.261-05:002009-11-11T10:58:32.261-05:00@semioticity - Re: #6, See my prior post. The exam...@semioticity - Re: #6, See my prior post. The example I gave about helping the NPC. I say I was torn, but ultimately it was a fairly easy decision. Now, during that quest, I got a nifty staff. When we finished, the head mage asked for it back as ill-gotten gains. The dialogue choice was to just give it back or ask why I couldn't keep it. I thought about that one for a few minutes. I wanted that damn staff, but I didn't want to piss off the head mage who was very likeable and seemed very disappointed in my actions. In the end, I just gave it back, but I still think about it.Justin D.

Just because you *can* play it on a console doesn't mean the PC experience won't be better, or at least more manageable.<br /><br />I would appreciate further unpacking of #6 (small choices).<br /><br />I haven't considered buying a new-new PC game in forever, so I'm a little excited. I think finding the time will be harder than finding the money. Thanks!Matthew D.

I was taken aback when one of the NPCs mentioned how rare it was to have a female Gray Warden. It wasn't a plot point, just a bit of color, and there is stuff like that everywhere, which makes the whole experience incredibly immersive.<br /><br />Mage is indeed fun, if for nothing else than the splashy effects and trying to hunt down the 10 spell combos.<br /><br />The bit about choices is dead on. Very quickly in the mage intro, I was torn about helping an NPC do something that was clearly wrong under the teachings of the circle but seemed morally acceptable. What it forces you to do is really think about what your character is like and try to act accordingly. My mage is an idealist, eager, confident, and even a little naive.<br /><br />Definitely going dwarven rogue next.Justin D.
