Blackman Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 <p>It would be nice if they did what was done to Baldur's Gate I to make it play like BGII, to MEI and II.</p><p> </p><p> I recently replayed the trilogy but stopped in my track during the third game.

Fleisch Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I've been playing Fallen Enchantress Legendary Heroes recently. Not a bad game to be honest, especially as I didn't pay much for it due to it being in one of the Steam sales. Any one else played this?

Blackman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 <p>Finally got around to playing some more Skyrim, as my ini's are finally making the game stable. Also deactivated some mods like those 3 bird-mods, the SMIM and the official HD expansion. I also meddled with the shadows settings outside to speed it up, but no dice. The more you change (and I had 150+ modules in the list), the more it ****s up your game. Even those supposed 'tweaks' for your ini's are crap 95% of the time. My GFX card was quite awesome at the release of Skyrim (though it's obviously older now), and it should play Skyrim vanilla at ultra. I'm quite happy playing on medium now (with only textures at high). Right now I'm playing with just:</p><p> </p><p> - Skyre [!] -- (was Requiem at first but too many changes, if you run other mods I recommend the more lighter Skyre)</p><p> - EGO: Epic Gameplay Overhaul [!] -- (too awesome to miss, and relatively little amount of scripts)</p><p> - Immersive Battles & Creatures -- for more flavor</p><p> </p><p> - a bunch of armor and weapon mods (which should be light)</p><p> - several companions like Vilja [!], Cerwiden, and several of the 'real' people like Alba and Jolie and someone I never heard of (Wilde?) simply because they look good</p><p> - Inconsequential NPC's and that huge NPC mod [!] -- as cities are empty without 'em</p><p> - a couple of cosmetic mods (for Whiterun, character eyes and hair)</p><p> </p><p> Problem was that with birds flying around, people walking around and tomatoes in 4MB prints, the setup was getting a little ridiculous. Best to tone it down or you're playing in less than 1920x no matter what your PC is. Hopefully now I can pull through after doing the same quests 20 times over to access the new content (which was a little too high level). That first dungeon in Riverrun (or whatever that hamlet is called; ironically I forgot) I know by heart.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built an army that only one other faction can contend with (or indeed match) and have wiped out 4 of the other teams already (I say already, this is my 10th hour of gameplay). Just absolutely loving it at the moment. Even declared war and wiped out a faction I at one time helped - just because I could.</p><p> </p><p> I might give that Age of Wonder series a go when I get paid next.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjb000 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Apparently the buzz going around is that the Steam Summer Sale is scheduled to start this weekend. Been hearing this too. Lawd have mercy on my wallet! Good thing is, I have already done a decent amount of spending this month, so I probably won't go as overboard as I did during their last holiday sale which left me broke and then some. I have more than enough games, especially unplayed games, to last me until their next sale. Though I'm a sucker for sales and I can easily get caught up in all the 'excitement'.
