I was thinking the backwards flying dragons might be some kind of acrobatic looping strafe attack.
Nope!
Pretty much just what it says.
Where is your Bethesda now!? 

Meh, new bugs cropping up is pretty standard fare with patches.  Bethesda isn't the only company to have had problems like that.

Bahahaha.
True.
I haven't seen the disappearing NPC's one yet, and the trophies always load slow, but I'm not that surprised.

THIS I found most vexing: the sheer volume of mechanics and effects borrowed from Fallout 3.
I could not unsee.

Well, both games are made by Bethesda.

Also, Dark Souls. Still good. Worth a try, for the moods, the environments, and the combat.

That ship sailed with your original pitch, I'm afraid. When the primary reason to play a game is that "it's hard," I'm not the target market.

Self-pity fest deleted. It's all good game in the end, right?
Besides I'll probably buy Skyrim once the price drops and the mod community is in full swing.
Terrific, creative, mind-boggling things are sure to result.

Although I do still moon over The Ultimates. T'was terrific fun. Rumor has it SFA might make a comeback, and my curiosity is piqued.

I finally had the chance to play (a very wee bit) of Skyrim last night, and it's as rad as I thought it would be.

I keep finding myself trying to turn on my Pip Boy light, though.

Vanguard.
Hooah.
I'm down.

And I'm in.
Or at least accepted and patching.
We'll see.
I favor maximum dakka and gravitate towards tank roles.
I am a Defender.

Their Legacy System.. is pure fail.  WTF were they thinking on this one??

I wouldn't say pure fail.  Like the idea, but what they are proposing for an implementation I don't care for.

Okay.. I should have worded that better.  The implementation scheme I regard as pure fail.  I love the concept.. not the execution.  If it was like.. "You're all part of a Fate / Clan / Mafia".. fine.  But tying it to the surname.. so.. the sith warrior had fun with the human soldier and gave birth to the twi'lek smuggler???

...then someone's going to undergo a paternity test!
Sounds legit to me. 

..think we can blame Crafty delays on C_P's MMO addiction?  (Totally KIDDING, btw. )

No worries.

I noted that I haven't been on in a while for a reason. The last thing I need is folks upset that stuff's not done and pointing to my hobbies as the cause.

Or we could be thankful that you gimp your own life to bring us a great hobby.. but.. to each their own. 

Side note:  Why is EVERYONE going Bounty Hunter?  I've had to switch my character planning to Imp. Agent.

I'm surprised everyone's going Sith.
Unless The Dark Side is quantifiably sexier, I'm plenty comfortable Defending the Republic from atop a mound of empty repeating-blaster belts.
I could be sold one some sexy Zabrack with facial tattooing, sure, but if there's not a lot of that the BH thing isn't that attractive.

Hey, any blokes tried Global Agenda?
It's sci-fi shooterness with MMO elements. It's FTP. It's got "chainguns the size of motorcycles" for the Assault class.
Downloading now, but I'm curious if anyone's got a story to share.

hmm, I got a SWTOR mass-beta invite as well...
And no link to download.
*frustration*
Ya lucky bastards. So how are Soldiers? I'm hoping for some real heavy weapons fury to greet Sith with.

Mass invite is for the final weekend coming up.  No dates announced.  They want to full stress their servers so everyone whose sided up for beta is getting an invite for the last weekend.  

Also, you might want to watch this video:  Trooper

Ahhh, good to know.
And thanks for the link. Interesting. I'm not actually that encouraged by it, but I'm glad for the chance to sample at least.
Apparently force users are going to be rather ranged damage resistant. Not a huge surprise, but I'd noticed that what few PvP encounters were depicted seemed to involve the Soldier either closing distance to melee and disabling the target before pouring fire in, or convenient combinations of knockback and cliffs people could fall off of.

Soldiers can't meet me at the door with a 75 lbs. gatling laser cannon. lol.

Mm.
Seventy-five pound gatling laser. I am intrigued. I'll miss the spraying brass, oh well.

Congrats!
By the time the youngest is ready to play will the oldest be ready to run the game?

Ok, this is my kind of horror movie

Tucker & Dale Vs Evil

 

oh my god. I laughed. Finally, there is a movie I MUST SEE.

Thanks!

bah dark souls, skyrim is due in november

Double bah!
...
I totally missed the whole Oblivion thing. Few times I played it I was kinda bored, too. Great mods for the PC version, so I'd heard.
Dark Souls, man! Dark Souls!
