yeah, that sound like an option T7 :) Will plug in another PSU later tonite. There are 'signs of life' when the power button is on - so not totally dead, just nothing coming up on the screen. The mobo LED comes up for the RAM slot. There is a 'ground...  [Read More]

Astro, you said that DX10 allure is strong. I agree, yes. But is DX10 Vista-specific, or will we see a friendly download at the Microsoft webby? :confused: DX10 is indeed Vista specific. For all the gripes people have with it's 'bling vs function' f...  [Read More]

Poll time. Just curious who are keen on a Vista or Office 2007 upgrade. Even if not immediately, I think from a gamers point of view, the lure of DX10 is far too strong...not to mention the upcoming DX10 cards :) For some tantalising insight as to...  [Read More]

It's not immediately obvious, is it? Drove me crazy when it happened to me. Hit enter again. That happened to me, too. I can't remember if you have to click in the box before hitting enter or not, but 'enter' is the secret handshake. At least in my g...  [Read More]

I believe you choose your companion during the character creation. It's hidden though. If you use Recommended after picking your class, then you skipped the screen. At least that's how it worked for my Sorcerer and his familiar. lolz...Ive been play...  [Read More]

Oblivion isn't a better game than NWN2, but it is a better-looking game overall. :) Story-wise NWN2 is vastly superior to Oblivion. Quoted for emphasis :) Though Ive never been a PnP player, as far as RPG games go, I remember playing text based RPG...  [Read More]

I am perhaps the worst player to EVER play this game. Why? The two characters I've actually stuck with have ended up getting wholesale-slaughtered at that thug warehouse. It's great that NWN2 has so many character creation choices, but it's driving...  [Read More]
