Rescuing wolves

Any game where I am allowed to play an eco-terrorist with a sword and that allows to talk to the wolves has to be good. Or maybe it's just me. =)

Shrinking feeling...

In certain zoomings, I'm not sure this thing gets the scale right...

Pyre

Oh, the suffering... all these dead people. No wonder it's rated... K-11 in Finland??? Hmm...

Charon

Charon's rant about politically correct language. This is what is in the industry called "guaranteed Bioware humor". =)

...could, yep...

Many consider this the greatest line in the whole game =)

Dominated what?

This "pet" is not exactly from the most romantic end of spectrum... Wonder how many wizards use this as a familiar? I'm sure some do, if some groups get named after these things... (Hmm, I wonder if cDc had any inspirational influence in debug code dm_cowsfromhell...=)

D&D: The Game of Satan!

In a certain well-known anti-D&D tract, Jack T. Chick presents us a roleplayer who is "high-level" enough to play D&D without a DM - and was, of course, "fighting a Zombie" when a suicidal friend called. Thanks to modern technology, now everyone can fight Zombies without need to have a high level in a Satanic witches coven! Praise Lord!

(This comment had nothing to do with anything. It was written in the middle of the night, the time I played this part too, so this conclusion is very irrational. Then again, so was the original tract, too. =)

Crafty creatures...

Many vulpine friends of mine probably like this kind of items... though these things don't appear as often as the Fox items in Diablo II =) (Note: slightly manipulated picture, joined two screenshots to show both the description and the radial menu use button)
(Hmm, I wonder if this potion tastes of... coffee?)

Epic battle...

As with all dragon battles, I had to cheat through this one... but the dragon nevertheless got to kill me a few times before that. But one question remains: No matter how much I span around this paused thing, I couldn't see the eyes of my character through the blast. Likewise, when the fire blasts hit me, the character wasn't blackened. This game is sometimes way too serious.

Just get this one... *snap* argh...

This is the last straw that broke my back...

Unusual? You bet

I found this very very very unusual item from the archeologist barracks. Indeed, what would fantasy worlds be without full bottles?

Who is younger?

I think I specified in the character generation that Weifola was 128 years old. I bet she has a pair of shoes older than this cranky archeologist...

Subtle anti-alcoholism

Which "spirit" is it actually referring to???

Creative defacing

I didn't dare to try the wrong options...

Waterfall that flows from...?

There is something wrong with this waterfall. Something. I wish I'll eventually figure out what. Oh! Now I get it...

Creative killing methods

This is what the CRPG experts call a "meta-game effect". Since the pixies and stuff can't possibly be a match for any humans/demihumans, they utilise a far more clever method of defense: They make the framerate to drop to near zero with a spell visual effect in addition to making themselves damn near impossible to see, even when the game is paused!

Spirit of the Wood...

Looks pretty familiar to me. At least it didn't turn into a gigantic pile of goo that destroyed everyone it touched. (This particular spirit of the wood just had big enough headaches to make every animal in the woods hostile. I suppose that's a reasonable equivalent...) By the way, the background pic with the boars means this probably isn't a coincidence... =)

...killing me softly

Spirit of the Wood tried to kill me with cute imagery, but, of course, made me just go "awwww..." =)

Thief's journal

(I *think* this was in chap. 2...) A thief's detailed journal. =)

Invisible Stalker

These people were a bit hard to see. Too bad the manual didn't include an illustration. (No, wait, I have it on page 202.)

Old riddle

Whatever you do, don't try to deny the Tolkien influence in D&D... =)

Trapped body

I've seen many many strange things in this world, but I haven't yet seen trapped bodies. Very interesting...

Everyone else is getting it...

Even if there's a brothel in Luskan and a somewhat over-eager person in Beorunna's Well, there's no sex in the game. Except for some people. This happened before I realized this, and in retrospect, it was only right to kill these people - the world can't always be needing orc killing specialists and probably can do without a little bit less talented one.

Braiiiinnnnssss...

Zombie behavior straight out of the handbook!

Strange bodies...

This is in Ruins of Illusk. To get to this final, deepest level, I needed to kill some very tough opponents and tons of zombies. Indeed, I was the first one to do so, as Prophecies tell. Yet, I found several fresh-looking corpses from the bottom level! Fortunately this didn't entirely kill the immersion, just found it a bit... odd...

Familiar feeling...

A long-trapped prisoner has good time with the friend. Kids, what do we learn from this? Loneliness sucks.

Cute animals

This druid had a cute, cute animal with him. =)

Saddest sight ever...

=(

Toto, we're not in Neverwinter anymore

Allright, I know the city's name comes from the founder, but to brutally mess with the NWN trailer... "Do you have the courage now that winter has come to Neverwinter?" =)

Another task I'd be honored to do

I had to dm_cowsfromhell my way through the snowglobe dragon because it was too cute to be killed. But this dragon wanted me to find and kill the egg thieves. Piece of cake, and I'd be honored to do that!

Screen size to 1024x768, details up

...and it's still kicking!!! Unbelieveable! The only things that slow it down are the visual effects like rain, but otherwise, it runs just smoothly. Playable and beautiful!

Excuse me, your arrow's through my neck.

Linu to me: "That idiot got me a severe headache! Kill him!"

Cute pet actions...

Having great time with my new pet, Chane, the Wolf. How thoughtful for the game creators to add a "virtual pet" menu to the game =)

Size difference

Dragons are big, of course; one of the few things in the game where the characters need to look up to when talking to them.

Admit it: It's quite simple

The lizard woman tells what was going on... and the user is given the choice to summarize.

Skeleton Chieftain

I wish to stress that this was purely in self-defence and I actually think dem bones is most likely a good guy.

Ooooh, shadows

Let's be honest: Yes, drama counts. This stuff in the picture is what I got NWN for! Epic adventures and dramatic fights with shadows cast on the walls!!! Finally a game that beats Defender of the Crown but isn't that hard and load for ages... =)

Patch of soft soil

I was reminded of Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time a few times when playing the game, but this one gets pretty far in that respect... Of course, in Z64 you didn't need to travel 10000 years back in time to make the plant to grow to full size.

Time travel is always so smart

The time travellers are always so witty.

Neon lights, shimmering neon lights...

If I were an archmage, I would definitely not decorate the exterior of my super-secret hideout like this. =)

Aribeth, finally tolerable

As strange as it seems, Aribeth was much more interesting character in the final act.

What stone?

This thing was on the map, all right, but there seems to be a space missing from the name. I suspect this is actually some software development tool they were using? It definitely sounds like it.
