I've been playing EVE for a few months. Don't worry about what you pick during character creation, the choices are almost entirely cosmetic. What parts of EVE appeal to you? If you are totally new, do all the different career tutorial missions, it will give you a reasonable overview of...

How about Patches and Petrus? Betray each other any chance you get. Fits the Dex and Faith archetypes too.

It sounds like you are describing a Gambeson. I would suggest either Quilted or Padded armour as a name/type. Some links that may be useful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambeson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUPIUHpkK88 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fHmXxaXqQ

Sadly, durability is tied to framerate, so weapons on PC degrade twice as quickly. Weapons degrade quickly when hittting dead or dying enemies, so try to avoid hitting enemies that are already dead. Also, many people miss that completing a coop session with either of white soapstones will...

Different people will always have different standards for acceptable behaviour. What you do not want is a situation where these people are forced to play with each other. Allowing community run dedicated servers allows people to establish a community with the environment they enjoy. Some...

http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkSouls2/comments/2hwpq6/psa_recover_xbox_360_saves_corrupted_by/ This sounds like it may be able to save your saves OP. Really terrible that this has slipped through..

I'm not sure aging badly is the games problem. I would say that the things that were good about it are still very good, and the things that were bad were always bad. First person does not bother me, the game has great combat, with a real sense of momentum and timing. The story is schlock...

My first thought is Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. It seems to tick all your boxes.

Yeah, DS2 definitely has some dodgy hit detection, but I can't say I've really experienced missing when I should have hit in PVE. I remember seeing that video at the time, and being unconvinced that they were faster. Looking at it again, it looks like they might be faster at 60fps. I'll...

1. I've often heard about dodgy hit detection, but never in this way. Do you have any examples that would help me understand what you mean? 3. Of the things you mention, only the durability bug is real. Enemy/player animations appear to be identical, and dodge invincibility timings are...

I think Dark Souls is a relatively hard game, but it is also quite fair. I do think everyone should at least attempt to play through Dark Souls without a guide, as discovering things for yourself is much more enjoyable. Before you look at a guide for help: Read everything in the game, from...

I think the CPU cooler is unnecessary, It performs roughly the same as the Intel stock fan http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Arctic-Cooling-Alpine-11-Pro-CPU-Cooler-Review/802/1. You may want to check that the soundcard is compatible, my brief research shows it may use the AGP interface...

I find the "It's just the way it is" argument short sighted and defeatist. Why bother trying to change anything? Similarly, people who say just mute and move on are ignoring how with a few adjustments you can vastly improve the atmosphere in a community. On XBL for example, you have to mute...

Motherboard: Fine. CPU and Cooler: Do you plan to overclock? If not, get an i5 2500 and forget the H100. If you do, get an i5 2500K and consider dropping the H100 for something a bit cheaper. It's good, but probably more than you need, even if you plan to overclock. Pick up a Hyper 212 or...

Reminds me of another article about another staple of game design. Crates. http://www.oldmanmurray.com/features/39.html
