Bay 12 Games Forum

Your hero has to get to level 7 before they can join a guild. You can then tell them to "Join the 'Slaves to Armok' guild" or something via the chat thing and they'll go on a quest to do so.

Apparently there's a no-nudity pack on the file repository, you could try that out as well.

Just checked myself. Welp, time to reinstall M&B.

If you're taking suggestions, just one thing I'd like added is that if you're near an NPC with a flashlight equipped and your vision's impaired (weather, night, so on), your LOS is increased as long as you stay near them.

You said no bitching. That's impossible. The whole trailer looks, quite frankly, crap. It seems to me that they're pretty much just using the XCOM IP to sell their alien shooter 5000.

He never said no bitching about the trailer. Just no bitching about its relation to the X-Com series (or lack thereof or whatever people think).

I liked Spore. It's probably because I didn't pay any attention to the pre-release stuff, though.

No, but we have fucking interviews of what they plan for the game and that's rather enough to not label it a x-com game. Might be a good game, just not right for the x-com title. That's what pisses x-com fans off.

Now go be a jerk elsewhere and learn self-caps-control.

You could still just wait to try it out instead of going on about how it's going to suck as an X-Com game based on some pre-release interviews. Yes, yes, you've been playing it for ten years, they've played it for a few hours, it isn't going to be the X-Com we know and love, etc. etc. I'm cautiously optimistic as to its chances at being good as an X-Com game instead of just a good shooter, although even I'll admit that's doubtful, to say the least.

I salute you for being the first person I've seen on this forum to seriously write in capslock. It says a lot about you.

Bah, I can talk out of caps just fine. I probably should have added one of those /sarcasm tags or something since it doesn't translate to text well.

EDIT:

And then I just hit upon something that would make FPS X-Com good, guaranteed. STALKER. X-COM EDITION. Or, to elaborate, this upcoming FPS, but with STALKER style gameplay. You know it'd be awesome.

Everyone who hates this game based on what info we currently have is going to hate the game anyway no matter what.

I'm going to get it based on whether or not it's a good game in and of itself, not whether it's a worthy successor to the (mostly defunct, and don't deny it) X-Com name. If it's both, then bonus points to 2k. If it's just a good shooter, that's fine too. If it's neither, then I'll shrug and go get something else.
