I'll look at my compatibility series for it in a bit and - wait, what do you mean no compatibility settings?

I can run the launcher with compatability settings but not the executable for the game.

Not only that, I Google-Fu'd a bit, and was told about the shortcut tab in properties to get it to run as administrator. Of which there was not one in the executable file's properties.

I had to create a shortcut to the executable file and go to the shortcut tab in that file's properties to get the thing running as an administrator. Bloody hell.

Odd. The shortcut to it that Origin made for me is for the exe itself, and my settings for it appear to just be run as admin and disable dpi scaling:

Of course, I only have it on Origin because EA gave it away for free. I died repeatedly on the beach and quit forever because I couldn't advance and replaying the annoying thing a dozen times isn't my idea of fun these days.

Strange that your one has all the tabs and mine doesn't. The launcher executable has that for me, but that doesn't have anything to do with the actual game executable's permissions and such. Ah well, I got it working.

I have the Special Edition on CD in a fancy metal case. The beach was rather challenging, I recall. The early game is quite nasty just 'cause you have bugger all in the way of health and you're pretty much thrown into it with the bandit attack - as I'm sure you noticed. It's worth a playthrough, though; that's not representative of the game as a whole, thought there are a handful of challenging fights throughout that reach similar levels of "WTFWASTHATSHIT".

IT WON'T COME OFF

Now to play the tutorial for the 7th time now that the game runs smoothly and I can make saves. It's lucky I like punching Jing Woo in the face.

Jade Empire. Basically KOTOR in the aforementioned Asian fantasy setting, but it's more of an action-RPG than a behind-the-scenes turn-based thing.

Why does it need a TV tropes page? Nothing has really happened, other than three gods dying who are now either back alive or have been replaced by the player.

Let us move on.
