Succes!!!


I added a new fighting style to the game! The Monkey Paw style!
It works perfect! Just like all the other styles.

I added a no poislers tag to the thread title. If people want to start discussing the storyline, they can start another thread :)

Now that we have a forum to discuss video games, there is no point in keeping it all in one thread and ending with monster threads like the nwn2 and the Oblivion ones :)

Now after installing XP 3 times to get it to work, downloading a few 100MB to get dirextx 9.0c to work, Jade Empire WORKS!

And it's a great game, I just love the style of the game. The combat is quite cool too, a very good example that real time combat works well in story driven RPGs.
But the china - mystic flair is by far the best thing in Jade empire. Bioware ftw.

This is nice. I got that style and rhyno style, crescend double swords, the eye of the dragon double swords, emeperor staff and dual hammers as reward. :redbounc:

Well since we've been discussing it I purchased it on Amazon (the new edition) pretty cheap too. So now I'm all excited about it again.

Yeah, I finished it in 12 hours. But then again. I found the fighting to be really easy.

Darn, man. I'm somewhere in the middle of Chapter 3, and according to my latest savegame, i've been playing for 21 hours already. :smash:

And i found the fighting to be easy aswell (at master difficutly).

I have finally picked the game up... now to just pull myself from DDO to play around with it. :(

It was a very bad time for me to have gotten into NWN 2. I heard you on that, RH. :p

Still waiting for mine to arrive...

You can do it RedHawke ;) I love your mods

I do have a xbox but I've been holding back for the pc version, just for the mods. Really lookin forward to the mods.

Now I've finally played through the game! The boss fight was a bit easy, but what a great game!

Is it just me though, or wasn't the big relevation not that unpredictable? I had a feeling things would turn out that way.

So, I've finally played Jade Empire. *lag*

Sky and Radiant Jen Zi, YES!!:D

I must admit, the speed of things after Chapter 3 took me by surprise. When I was browsing, I was pretty shocked that people could finish it in 26 hours on average. Once I hit Chapter 4, could see the reason though.

I tinkered with the 2da to alter Dawn Star to use Wu the Lotus Blossom's model. Looks very much better that way:P

It was a great game though!:) Ancient mystical China, huzzah!

This is pretty odd. I've heard many people talk about the game's length and either I was abnormally slow/terrible at combat (I liked jumping over their heads and dodging a lot) or the game really is ~39 hours long and everyone else is doing it wrong :xp:.

My first playthrough took roughly 42 hours and the second took 40, so if you're playing slowly you're not alone at least. :) I usually tend to roam around a lot an explore all areas of a game enjoying the visuals and looking for every side quest I can find. I sometimes also reload certain scenes to see what different outcomes you can get depending on your choices. I guess that could slow the playing down a bit. :)

I'm getting a Dell XPS laptop with Vista on it (almost enough saved, :D ). Will JE run on it, or like Kotor will it have some snags and irritating problems that will need to be dealt with before running smoothly?

I found battles in Master mode pretty ok, with decent amounts of dodging for the heck of it:p Except the crazy battle in the arena's Gold division, when they throw everyone at you for the heck of it. I didn't have a levelled up weapons style to use on the elephant demon at the time, meh.

I'm regretting not seeing what the response to "A rendezvous with the Princess? How scandalous!" Maybe on my next play through:p Two Rivers, and parts of the Imperial City are really pretty!:)

For the demon, use your strongest weapon powered with Chi and Focus mode, the rest of the enemies are simple enough to defeat. I wish the Phoenix style was usable.

Phoenix style? What's that?:P Sounds cool though! Yeah, I managed to get through it and spent my subsequent level skill points on Crimson Tears. I love that style! Plus Jen Zi and Sky look cute wielding dual sabers together:p

Phoenix style? What's that?:P Sounds cool though!

It's the "style" the ninja-like opponent in the arena uses when you've nearly defeated her. She bangs her fist in the ground producing several clones of herself in a circle around the arena who you have to defeat as well. :)

Oh yeah, forgot about that one:P I just goggled when they did that. And then started regretting not levelling up Dire Flame enough immediately, heh.

What I regret about my first playthrough was all the points tossed into styles that I hardly used... Sigh.
