  1. I usually play female Imperial or male Altmer for Oblivion. I looked in the mod folder on my hdd and it looks bare. Can't believe I didn't back up all of my favs. :(

  2. Installing Oblivion. It's been a very long time since I've played. Any mods I should avoid missing?

  3. No, I just went with the vanilla version. I, too, have ME3CE on pre-order. Looks like I have GTA V and Max Payne 3 too look forward to as well. Obsidian has 2 RPGs in dev but no word on either of them them yet so I don't know what that's going to do to things.

  4. Skyrim is paid for. 9 more days. :(

  5. That character combed just about every inch of the Mojave, so that might have something to do with it. Also, I tend to not use fast travel as much as I possibly could.

  6. My last run was just shy of 140 hours (139:47). I did HH, DM, and LR in that order.

     

    Started a new guy that's going to focus on explosives (thanks GRA!) and he'll do all 4 (HH, DM, OWB, LR).

  7. Mimi broke YT again :(

     

    I finally finished LR. I have to say that it's probably my least favorite of the 4. Going to give it one more try with a different character.

  8. I have no sympathy for Phoenicians that schedule outdoor weddings during Monsoon season.

  9. More on congressional redistricting in TX.

  10. Another set of charts you might like/find useful.

  11. I played SW:Galaxies for about 3 hours. It's all the MMO I'll ever need.

     

    Hehe, that reminds me of this

  12. LOL. No apology necessary. And I guess that counts as strike two, as I wasn't trying to single you out (should've framed THAT better as well).

     

    I thought it was interesting that the main quest could be completed that quickly. I didn't intend to imply that I felt that it was in any way indicative of the quality of the whole game.

  13. Had I known that there would be a knee-jerk defensive response to my post, I would have taken more time to frame that tid-bit in the Skyrim thread.

  14. I'm about to say something that probably doesn't need to be said:

     

    ME3 will be my last Bioware game.

     

    I am not pleased with the direction of recent developments.

  15. DX:HR

    ...for when you get back. Take a few minutes and listen to the interview, if you have time. Scary or awesome?

  16. Have a good time!

  17. Melee/Unarmed feels like cheating after a while. Except when it comes to Deathclaws and/or Cazadors :(

     

    My gripe with the DLC is that they break immersion. I really liked the stories of the three I played and, to your point, thought they were tied together well.

     

    Decided last night that I can probably get three of the four remaining GRA achievements this time around. I'll need to do another Caesar's Legion character to get the last one, so my "one more playthrough" got bumped to "two more playthroughs". Wish I had made the decision sooner, as I've not been hoarding components for time bombs (which I'll need to kill cazadors) :(. The new DLC "enhances" the Legion Assassin Squad function so that they don't just come at you once anymore.

  18. Trying to figure out how I'm going to make OWB fit for this character. I'm on the fence with DM too. Think he might just do HH and LR.

  19. Let the Sorrows stay but (potentially) become savages vs. help the Sorrows leave Zion really felt like bum deal. I get why they did it that way, but it still sucks.

     

    Damn it. Now I'm even more impatient to start LR. My 'restart' character is only level 7 :(

  20. Not to be too spoilerific, but I felt that it was a lose/lose situation. We'll talk more after you finish.

     

    Got to level 14 and decided to scrap that character. Started over with Cowboy 2.0 (Medicine Stick/Bowie knife edition)

  21. Me: "I think you're really going to like The Survivalist."

    You: "About my favorite part of Honest Heart, or any of the DLC for that matter, has been the story of Randall Dean Clark."

     

    I totally called it :D

     

    So sad that the guy that wrote him isn't at Obsidian anymore.

     

    P.S. DM is the only DLC that you cannot return to after you leave. If you wrap up the "main story" you can still come back (or not leave in the first place).

  22. There are already reports that it will be closed from 11am-1pm for Mr. Bush's private "storytime and nappy-poo"

  23. That last section in DM is hard. MCA mentioned in an interview that DM is kinda-sorta his punishment for "soft" gamers, who've come to rely on strategy guides, etc. My first time though, I went everywhere because I wasn't sure what was important. The second time through, I knew that the quests would take me everywhere, so I was able to sit back and trust my quest log. I did the same for my first run through OWB and found that I only got to see about 1/2 :(

     

    ...which I should've known better than to do considering that HH kinda does the same thing (note to mimi: You may want to take time to explore in HH or you won't see everything :)). I think you're really going to like The Survivalist.
