it is an HD issue. It displays absolutely fine in HD but is completely illegible in SD. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts had the same problem.Caligulove said:
I'm sorry sir, but Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were RPG games. In quite a few modern RPG's (such as the likes of Dragon age: Origins, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Neverwinter nights 2) utilise the ability to pause and issue commands.Jordi said:

OT: Stealth. In a stealth game.
I'm looking at you overly suspicious Hitman guards!
The system still seems rare especially since most if not all of the games you listed are Bioware games. Also I think he just meant that he got so used to being able to do that in BG that it was hard to readjust to normal RTS gameplay.DSK- said:I'm sorry sir, but Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were RPG games.

well i ask, is why not do both? is it not even more interesting and cause for replayability to implement both into the game? they could do massive amounts of side quest openers with how your good evil line is based on what factions you join and who is your allies/foes. there is a much wider ranger of possiblities and potential i think with a bit of both systems.TheDoctor455 said:

The only one I can think of there is Left 4 Dead, and maybe Gears of War and other games with similar modes like horde.Shru1kan said:
I know. I know that BG2 wasn't the first or last game to do this, although if memory serves me correctly a lot of the other games you mention don't implement the cueing of commands very well. I know that these games are RPGs, but I think this system would work really well for RTS games (and possibly other genres as well). I know "RT" stands for "real time", so for some people the proposed system would maybe break their game experience, but I would like it. Note that this is also not exactly the same as turn-based games.DSK- said:I'm sorry sir, but Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 were RPG games.

Quite a few games let you do this,The Metroidvanias Persona 3/4,Tales of Vesperia(Among other Tales game)Aylaine said:

The reason why good/evil meters are bullshit is because real moral choices don't have clear right answers, and quantifying how good or evil a particular decision is takes away any ambiguity from these decisions. Really... I wouldn't mind so much if the meter were there, but only if it were running as a hidden process. NEVER show me how good or evil I am, but instead, show me how good or evil other NPCs think I am, and make sure there is enough variety among NPCs to ensure that no one NPC group (or better yet, any one NPC) will have quite the same opinion of me no matter what actions I take. Moral choices in games cease to be interesting when I can easily tell which one is good and which one is evil, and more importantly, which one will nab me the most in-game benefits. That I think, is the beauty of Alpha Protocol's Perk system. In addition to being given some nice bonuses for doing well in a particular play style (stealth vs. run-n-gun for example), you are also awarded different perks depending on how you treat different NPCs. I.E. you are awarded differently depending on how you treat each NPC.gmaverick019 said:

You must have some god-damn brave postmen, and as for comedy games I wish we had more like the original monkey islands, day of the tentacle, or more recently psychonauts. It's a shame that no games have got that quirky charm nowadays.FallenJellyDoughnut said:
