Without spoiling much, it takes place in the bizarre city of Sigil in the Outer Planes (where belief dictates a consensus reality rather than the laws of physics). Your character awakens in a mortuary with his memories gone (it's actually much less c...  [Read More]

Whoa whoa whoa. I hope you mean post-1990 Atari. The original Atari was a gaming pioneer in the 70s-80s and of us old-timers have our childhood memories forever intertwined with the Atari 2600.The first computer I had was an Atari ST (http://en.wikip...  [Read More]

More than the EA on top, I worry with the decision of Atari to sop doing games. Atari only stopped doing in-house projects; they are still publishing games. That decision shouldn't really affect the NWN franchise at this point. If anything, if publis...  [Read More]

NWN seems to cater to the hack n' slash crowd more than it does to spell-casters (unlike Baldur's Gate 1&2), and that's my chief complaint about it. I don't know if NWN2 is geared the same way or not because I've never played it. NWN2's OC is pre...  [Read More]

I also noticed, with the loading screens, they mentioned some other places in the Realms again. Just like how they mentioned Rashemen, Thay and the Astral Plane in the original game... when there wasn't a story-related description, there were mention...  [Read More]

I think Bioware would've most likely gotten the word from Revenant, because that's the side we see of him mostly in the game. However in the KotOR comic recently they referred to a mysterious character, that we can only assume is Revan, as "the...  [Read More]

Hmm, are you sure they re-open? In my current game I've closed 56 Gates and I've run out of gates to close. I've looked all over the place and the only active Oblivion Gate I can find is the one that leads to the Shivering Isles. Perhaps they will r...  [Read More]

I've got it on the 360 so the graphics are quite a bit better than Stoffe's screenies (better still if we had a giant TV), but I can't use any PC mods obviously. I've never been really big on doing the whole modding thing myself though, so it's a fai...  [Read More]

Rain is Zannah. She calls herself that in the Jedi vs. Sith comic, Grivis. It's not this guy's original name. Pretty good first chapter, but it seems to me that it jumps into the story a bit too quickly. You need to set the scene a little better. Ma...  [Read More]

I don't think I've ever had that happen, but I usually play LS, so that's probably why. You may be right. Could that be connected to the fact that when you revisit Telos when Nihilus attacks, Chodo is there with Lt. Grenn? If you talk to him, he alw...  [Read More]
