Plus all the voice acting is German, which is moderately amusing.

There is... a version of dungeon siege II that has german voice actors and english subtitles.

It is entirely better than the one with english voice actors, because the english VAs for DSII suck. So... yeah. Not sure if germany just has really good VAs or what.

Not sure if there's a point to be made from that, other than that I'm entirely okay with the state of Nehrim's voice acting

Don't know what it is (other than quality) exactly, but I'm a lot easier to appease with non-english vocals (even if I don't know the language. Especially if I don't know the language.) than I am with english ones. Music, voice actors, whatever. Just give me subtitles (or not, in the case of the former) and I'm good to go.

Looks better fullscreened ('cause I'm running low resolution) but... anyway.

Bow'd (mostly) my way through a dungeon/cave full of undead, traps, etc. Murder something called Blood Prince Tuuron or... whatever (he had nice loot, I tooks it), walk up the stairs to his platform and... that was there. I just...

... I like Nehrim, okay? I ran up and sat on the throne, half hoping it carried some ancient curse. Unfortunately not and the camera angle was pretty crap from the chair, but. Yeah. Nehrim just has a lot of stuff like that. I don't even know if the cave's, like, special or anything. I think it's just some joint in the middle of the woods, to loot. With giant bone arches, awesome mood lighting, a few skulls on a stick, and a nice seat. Plus all the stuff I walked past/killed getting to the nice seat.

Nehrim seems to do a lot of stuff like that. Even the no-name caves (Well, okay, this cave had a fancy name, but you get the idea) have little flares. Its aesthetics and game design just... please me. So far, anyway (and "so far" has been, like. 30 hours or something.). Think I'll play it some more tomorrow <3

E: Right, since it's kinda' impolite to squee without sharing source, if no one noticed my earlier squeeing, Nehrim's an (awesome) Oblivion total conversion thingy. Seems to be pretty nice.

[It] seems like a pretty bad solution when you can just kick the ethical ball into the geneticist court.

No, it just means my car is no longer better than yours and, until you change its color again, was not better than yours yesterday. If you change its color again, then my car becomes better than your car in the past, as well.

Also is purple. That makes it better than things which are not.

Does it make it better than other cars that originally were not purple but are now, though?

Nah. Becoming purple retroactively improves the vehicle's previous nature. Similarly, becoming some other color retroactively reduces it. Only during immediate temporal congruity is comparison possible.

So, yeah. Playing Nehrim, Oblivion total conversion thingy. Walking down road, bard thing is plucking 'is lute.

And then I pause. Stop for a second. And listen a little harder.

Because dude is plucking out the same melody as one of the tetris songs. Obviously not that particular one, because it was strung out on a lute-analog or something, but... yeah.

Nerdsquee? Nerdsquee. Or... something. Anyway. I was highly amused. It was a... kinda' brilliantly done, impressively subtle, shoutout. Though I have no clue if it was a shout out to tetris or whatever it was influenced by.

Robot boobs are supplementary power plants. Male robots have the power plant in their crotch, females on their chest. Its not a 'sex' really, there are just two standard chassis.

"This crotch of mine glows with an awesome power! Its irradiated emissions tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my sorrow, and all of my anger! SHINING! BURNING!"

Aanndd I'll stop there. Other than to note in the back of my mind to never crotch shot a robot in close quarters. Just in case.

Anyway, has anyone actually signed up of their forums bothered to ask about the cross-species gratuity and/or possibility of rocket boobs? Inquiring minds want to know! Inquiring minds that are too lazy to sign up and ask themselves.

Innit better still better, even if it's not good? I think the question is, if you're not going to get good, why choose the worser of remaining options?
