On Peltz' suggestion I save every 3 minutes now. But so far I haven't had any hard crashes anymore, just a game crash on exit - but whatever, right.

I've just uncovered the warlock Ammon Jerro in his lair, and Shandra died. I must say I'm really starting to dig the game...after a LOOOONG, somewhat tedious run-in it's finally gaining some epic momentum - and everything looks rather polished now, with in-depth dialogues, interesting characters and art. Let's hope the patches fixed the (from what I heard) bug-riddled finale.

My character has become virtually unstoppable - immune to mind control magic, extremely high AC, 300+ HP (and not nearly at the lvl cap), regenerating +4 HP every turn (!) and just generally kicking ass, partially with the help of the 'purification ritual' skills he gained. Only problem is that there are barely any decent dwarven waraxes in the game...so for now I'm stuck with a +1.

In a way, yesterday was the first time I was playing NWN2 and thinking 'wow this is cool I want to keep on playing'. The first part I more or less forced myself through.

Oh and I like the keep you get...totally turning it into a corrupt raider lair, whilst bleeding the surrounding farmers dry for every penny.

Started playing RA3...loving the campy humor and fluid gameplay so far. I mean seriously, I've got ships that can launch and parachute mind-controlled bears over rivers and walls. Awesome.

Since yer a fan of indie games i thought you might want to check this out.

Thanks for the link man I already know Dungeon Party, though I never tried it...the concept seems a bit all-or-nothing to me; either it works great or it bombs like there's no tomorrow. I might give it a spin later, and I'll let you know.

I think Max Payne 3 qualifes on your list.

Yeah, just noticed it earlier today. The bad news is that it isn't Remedy but Rockstar Vancouver who're developping the game. So I'm waiting for Remedy's Alan Wake a little more than on Max Payne (no matter how cool the first two MP games were).

Yea i was kinda bummed about that too. Im really keeping my fingers crossed for success of alan wake, especially since its developed by my good neighbours.
