No, they simply kept the original premise of the good/evil/law/chaos axis but lumped together alignments they thought were similar enough. Which is rubbish, there's quite a difference between LE and NE characters. Defining both of them as 'tyranny an...  [Read More]

I suspect that it's the spy-themed RPG that we've heard rumours about already. Definitely not K3, though. Avellone working on something new that isn't an existing franchise or a sequel, and isn't sci-fi or fantasy = dreams come true though. :)...  [Read More]

Just an update: it turns out that I was not missing anything. The 8-pin connector that came with the PSU splits into two 4-pin connectors., and you're supposed to use that. Nothing in the manual tells you that, though....  [Read More]

It's definitely not there. There's even a key next to it on the PSU itself to show you where the cable should be, and it's just not there. All of the cables on the back of the PSU are detachable... I also seem to be missing a PCI-E cable, but that i...  [Read More]

The thing about the wandering monsters is a valid point. Maybe they should make it so that the wandering monsters keep their distance if you are of a much higher level than they are (give them survival instincts basically). One of the things that ann...  [Read More]
