    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    I hammered the Steam sales over Christmas, also the previous games I had sitting there on the every growing pile of shame/unplayed games. Then a few days ago I got Star Wars: The Old Republic and everything else has been shelved again and piling in the hours for SWTOR xD

    MMO's and mountains of unplayed games just don't mix.

    I know, but if you look around online you'll see that in many places people automatically assume that you have copied a game and want to avoid online authentication.

    I've actually found hamachi very useful, I have a group of friends I play with. One of which is a total ludite and if he can just click refresh and find the game it saves a lot of hassle (for me not him because he begins swearing and logs off).

    Back to NWN 2. I already owned it but not the expansions, last time I completed it with a Sorcerer/Red Dragon/Paladin/Divine Champion type combo. He was solid! Massive AC, 100% fire resistance and lots of charisma which gives a nice attack bonus. I also went with exotic weapons and rocked a rather nice errr... sword of questionable parentage.

    This time got a couple on the go. an Arcane archer, who is a little bit broken because I cannot find a merchant with a restoration potion and an kind of spell sword combining wizard and fighter but later going with Eldritch Knight. Those two are loosely based on builds I found online. the eldritch knight one is quite powerful already, given him two +1 Kukris... he is a little bit delicate though he needs a +AC robe and a couple of rings of protection.

    As for my coop game I'm not sure what we're going to go with, any suggestions for a good combination considering this is my friends first experience of NWN or D&D in general? I was thinking I'd just let him build a fighter and I'd go with a cleric and just chuck a bunch of buffs his way and let him go on a rampage.

    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    Must admit I've never played NWN, basic rule for D&D (dependant on version, OD&D AD&D 1st + 2nd ed) low level fighters and clerics rock.

    Granted most games don't follow the rules too closely, otherwise a low level wizard is near useless solo, very few spells and when they are gone your stuffed.
    Which is why most computer games don't follow the rules that closely and often put in a lot more magic items.

    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    just starting playing LA noire a couple of days ago and i'm absolutely loving it. i think i'm rating it so highly at the moment because it's quite a novel concept which i've never done before in a game. but i tip my hat to rockstar for being only the second game to make me believe i'm in a certain time period (the first being the original Mafia)

    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    Gone back to playing Forza 4 - started playing the online side this time.

    Good fun, except for the numpties that seem unable to work out where the front of their car ends and the rear of mine begins - especially at the first corner.

    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    The usual BF3 and just started Skyrim, I've only started now as I knew I wouldn't want to do much else and have been putting it off.

    Tried LA noire over christmas but couldn't really get into it, seems a bit simple and going through the motions. I was hoping for like Broken Sword crossed with CSI.

    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    Europa Universalis 3 over the last few days (weeks!). A friend of mine absolutely loves it, so when it came on sale over Christmas I had to have a go. Glad he knows what he's doing, because it's an incredibly complicated game, but unbelievably good fun. The challenge makes all of the victories so much sweeter.

    Re: Whats everyone playing at the min?

    I have bought a few games off GOG and been playing those to give Skyrim a rest with clocking up 45 hours on it so far.

    Last few days been playing Redneck Rampage, Giants : Citizen Kabuto, Sacrifice, NOX and Vampire the Masquerade Redemption. Each of those titles have been getting my attention, GOG are launching a new publisher who will be announced around midday tommorrow so will be interested to see who it is. Forums there appear to be heading towards Eidos and the Hitman and Thief games in the discussion!

    Getting back to The Witcher 2, got about half way through and stopped, due to work/time/Christmas. Finally getting back into it (A lot of back story to remember) but its a wonderful game...
