"The new series is absolute crud, go rent some of the classic episodes and find out for yourself why it ran for so long."
Classic episode? Like the Colin Baker years?
Apparently it also lacks some resources, such as movies and music and buying it gives you access to the rest of the resources.
Is it just me, or does it seem a bit odd that Atari are charging full price? Surely they'd be able to pass on the savings they're making on the packaging to us. (Good god, what an awful sentence). *shrugs* I guess at least you won't have to deal with the SecuRom problems that some folks have been having. More than likely Atari trying to shaft the consumer again, can anyone spell 'paper-fucking-CD-sleaves'?
Unlikely. WoTC don't support Planescape in 3E and Interplay lost the 2E Planescape rights at the same time they lost the rights to Baldur's Gate for PC. Such a shame they were unable to release the 'nearly' complete BG3. *sigh*
Oh well, good luck to Uncle Fergie.
Reading that review made my intelligence drop by about 2 (I now only have a +1 modifier D:). I didn't think it was humanly possible to mindlessly fellate the developers that severely, but it seems that I was naive in that respect.
At least the IGN review was informative and (slightly) balanced, much better than the 'OMG!!11 BIOWARE R TEH GODS OF TEH ROLEPLAYEINGE GAMEZ OLOLOLOLOOLO =DDDD' of the Unlimited Lives one. Press like that only appeals to cretins and 14 year olds (oddly the apparent target audience for Fallout: Enforcer.
Who am I kidding, I'll likely buy the game anyways. I sure hope it's a damn sight more interesting than the NWN OC.
It's not a particulary good engine though, is it? I mean c'mon a modern, funky 3D engine with no sky?
NWN is broken, I mean you can cast 'Call Lightning' inside? WTF? Trolls were severly nerfed as well and the amount of AoO you get is obscene. Further to this some of the rules are hardcoded into the engine, so there will most likely be no D&D 3.5E additions for the expansion packs - you'd think they would have learnt after the Infinity Engine - God knows BIS had a hard enough time adapting it for 3E.
I've decided not to make any comments of Bio's apparent inability to provide an interest CRPG story that's devoid of meaningless hack 'n' slash and fed-ex quests.
retribution from a 'higher power' for letting the kid die from an asthma attack 'cuz their techs were too lazy to go out and fix a faulty line in the bush?
PS - I could do with some punctuation.

Douglas Adams wrote a couple of serials and did script editing.
Bioware didn't develop KOTOR2. Knights of the Old Republic 2 was Obsidian's doing.
...on the upside, at least Kim Beazley is more or less unelectable.
Didn't Peter Davidson swordfight in The King's Demons?
I'm pretty sure there was a swordfight during Pertwee's area as well (too young to remember though).

Technically it was, but the "New Who" is regarded as series 1, rather than series 28 (or 27 or whatever).
Doesn't the "Run As..." option on the context menu achieve this?
Interplay lost the rights to the Planescape setting (which is no longer supported by WoTC, at any rate). No chance of it getting re-released. Ever.

Who the hell modded this 'Insightful'?
?
Black Isle didn't make NWN.

No, unfortunately Bio only did a binary for x86.

Some monsters are nice, yes. Have they fixed the trolls yet?
Aribeth's 'jiggly bits'. Wheeeeeeeeeee!
Except for the 'I woke up and it was all a dream' type ending.
