I still only have vanilla, but I have been playing a lot of Native Expansion lately. I like the idea of making my own kingdom. I had a really good game going but ended up engraged by the black knights. I could hit any other unit in the game for 10 or 20 damage, but not them!

I think I'll fire up 1866 again. Has it made any improvements over the last 6 months (I know I could read their forums)?

Do top teir units steal experience? Also, is it saved between fights? So say I have a group of 10 horsemen, and it costs 100 exp to level one of them, but their split is only 50. Next fight their split is 75, does one level then?

Also, is it shared between every troop or every troop type?

I couldn't find an answer anywhere, so I figured I'd post here. How the hell does experience work for non hero followers?

I assume they get points for killing anything, but does everyone who participated in the fight get some at the end? What about when you are returned to the overhead map, who gets experience there?

Also, how is it shared?

Different question. If a sword is 1.5 hands (1 handed or two handed) how can you tell how much damage it does in one handed mode?

I've been playing Native expansion. Took over Curaw and the castle nearby and now I am running a small kingdom.

I've never had a problem playing in offline mode. I wonder what the problem is...

I figured this is as good of a place to ask as any, since dragon age is still on sale. I hated Mass Effect but loved KOTOR. Will I like dragon age?

Man, crazy.

One thing I don't like about this game is that my town has almost no chance of survivng until day 8, but I have to wait 24 hours to be killed and join a new one.

I guess that is a good thing since I will be gone for 4 days.

I swear to god I saw it on Steam yesterday, but I don't see it on Steampowered.com.

It even said "You are buying an alpha release of this game! No refunds!" or some such.

Sneak, Use cover, dodge.

And yes, I probably should use the Sniper or AM rifle. I just love my Cowboy Repeater too much.

This only kind of works. Even the powder ganger/good springs fight offers up very little cover and lots and lots of people shooting at you.

I like the Cowboy Repeater too, but I traded it out for the .308, even though it was all sexy and modified.

I agree that the RNG should be given minimal power in a strategy game, but I think it is a fair way to balance overpowered spells.

The other options are A) No over powered spells or B) over powered spells with no downsides or C) overpowered spells with set downsides.

A is kind of boring. B just makes it so you only use the most powerful spells and C really just makes spells a unit or building. For example, a spell that adds 5 magic research at the cost of 10 food or something. Well, that is a building, just skinned differently.

Plus stories are always better when you a summon a demon to fight for you but lose control of him.

I have no problems with deathclaws using my Riot Gun and That Machine (named .308). I even took down a Legendary Deathclaw without it hitting me or Boone.

I am on hardcore mode though, so most of the time Rex has to waite outside if the enemies are too tough up close or too far away ranged.

How is it even possible to start out as an unarmed character? I tried it once and just got gunned down by the powder gangers before I even got close.

In general when someone says "I had the idea to fix the game in beta and no one listened" I reply with "Scoff scoff".

That, however, isn't a terrible idea. Overpowered spells are fine so long as they have a negative side as well. Someone should start work on that spell pack.

So the last mission on the Brother hood chain brought back some serious Fallout 2 memories.

Honestly, if you plan on playing through the game, and haven't gotten the mission to collect crap for the Brotherhood, I wouldn't recommend reading the spoiler. For me it was some of the best story telling I've seen in Fallout in a long time.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I am finding New Vegas a little frustrating, because I decide I am going to do one set of quests but on the way there I find an undiscovered location and a new set of quests. But then on the way to that quest I find a new set of quests and on and on. I am having a really good time but it is hard as hell to focus on one set.

The good and bad thing about LoL is that your success largely depends on your team, for the best or for the worst. Sadly its often for the worst.

But is it? I know there have been many times I have been the team handicap.

Or there are times when I completely fail to stun the right person or use the right ability. It is really easy to blame your team. I wish it was easier to find your shortfalls.

Anyway, sorry for derailing the topic.

Some times everything works out and you think you are the best player ever. Other times, nothing works. I remember going like 22 and 3 as Shaco or something, even post nerf. Somehow I'd place perfect JITB traps and the enemy would fear INTO the other 6 JITB. The very next game it didn't work at all and I ended up like 1 and 8.

It is hard to figure out what you did wrong, which leads to a lot of frustration for me.
