Re: This amuses and makes me slightly angry at the same time

Well, yes. These are good points. But in a pinch, if there's something on the ground and all of your characters are currently in their attack cooldowns, you pick up a pike or a spear or anything to throw, aren't you going to throw it so the most dangerous bit hits them? I'm just saying, it's not lik...

This amuses and makes me slightly angry at the same time

So, I take on one of those undead legionaries and I get their spear. Pretty cool early on. Later, there's a bunch of those things coming after me and I get another spear. My brain goes "Oh! This is a good idea!" and throws the spear at them. Mork seemed to think it was a good idea to chuck...

Re: so am i the only save biatch who find save slot limit

Certain lighting causes blackscreens

I have an Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT, and the game runs beautifully on it, save for instances where uncommon lighting is present. For instance, I have issues with it blackscreening in a manner similar to a display driver crash at the Save Crystals, or when I placed a torch in a sconce in a pitch black r...
