    What is the king's bounty like? I mean what type of playing is it similar with?
    Is it click and play or more like keyboard operation?

    Anyone try EVE Online? I keep seeing the ads for it on the top. I play it. It's a little harsh and took me a while to actually start enjoying it and now its like no other game out there to me.

    I've tried EVE a few times. Last attempt lasted about 2 months.

    In theory the game is super appealing to me, but the control style just isn't for me. I'd rather be a pilot than a ship captain. Too often combat involved tabbing out to read a forum out of boredom then tabbing back. When I did it in pvp, I knew I was done.


    I love sandbox style mmos though. I'm currently playing the 'fallout*' mmo.

    Dragon Age sounds like a good game, I wonder if it would be too addicting. Maybe I should just wait. :)

    I'm liking the Borderlands game, but man having the multiplayer not working right on the day of release is really starting to piss me off.

    I got this just to game with some buds online, but have been stuck playing single player.

    Mostly point and click. You can use the keyboard to move around on the world map (outside of battle), but that's probably the only time I used it.

    I ithink I reviewed the game in the review thread. If you guys are intererested, check out the link in my signature. Might be a page or two from the end IIRC.

    Just saw some video of dragon age on youtube, looks very good, much more advanced than Bulder's Gate it looks like.

    Fun game that is cut-throat. I mean it's like gang warfare out there and there are some serious whackjobs on that game. People that really take it like a 2nd (1st?) job or something. It's one of the deepest MMO's I've ever played with an economic system that blows away most others'. I liked it for a while but stopped playing it because the guys I was playing with got bored. I didn't think I could survive out there playing solo for too long or have fun doing it. My Hulk is floating out there somewhere. :)

    Well, it's been a decade since both Baldur's Gates were released. :)

    Can't wait... another week... I hope the game doesn't let me down! So many dud games out there with all the hype in the world behind them initially.

    I have been able to get it to work some of the time. It required opening up some ports on the router. Other than the initial pain of opening all the required ports, the game is a blast. Great hybrid RPG/FPS with a ton of loot, character skill tree, lots of quests, and fun multiplayer coop when you do get it working.

    I know what you mean. I have good hopes for Dragon Age. The only good RPG released after Baldurs gate 2 was neverwinternight 2 (ok the Witcher was also kind of interesting).
