The 8600 GTS is a fairly weak card, but considering the hardware in the system, it can't be very old (unless he updated hardware in an older base rig as time went on?) You could buy an equivalent system for relatively very little, depending on wher…

I know what you mean, st4rscream. There's still nothing to really compare with NWN1 in terms of developer support (BioWare are about to release the final ever patch... 6 years after the game was released!), community, or modability, including its se…

Thank you!

Looks good (excepting the RAM consideration, as mentioned). Make sure you pair these parts with a decent power supply and cooling though, those quad cores are hungry and run hot compared to the dual cores.

Certainly! My post count seems to've been increasing normally, since I posted this thread. It might still be a few posts short, though, as I've lost count myself. Edit: Possibly some further insight into the issue, Taera; I've just made a post in …

I agree about the graphics and system resources, and I think that's always a difficult balance. Though I'd personally prefer a far more gritty, realistic look than the somewhat cartoony WoW-esque style, particularly given this setting. Gameplay (an…

Originally posted by Rhoklaw Still, it's a very nice backstory, since I've never really followed the actual tabletop game, I don't know if it's WarHammer or Mythic EA's creation. At any rate, it's still a nice piece. This is true to the tabletop s…

Well it's an interesting prospect, even if it won't or can't be done. Are there not already roleplay-heavy MMORPGs out there, though?
-
Those are good points... actually, such a game would be likely to attract roleplayers away from other games (where they probably have less opportunity to find good roleplay), and so you could quickly end up with a large and active playerbase. All of…

Good OP, and I agree it would be very nice. The problem you'll run into is one of number of players; to ensure that anyone logging in was at least moderately able and willing to roleplay, you'd need to have some sort of application & approval sy…

Might I respectfully suggest that Sidoxs is a flamer/troll and, whether really as ignorant as he/she seems or not, won't contribute to the discussion with anything other than poorly-constructed attempts to get a rise out of responsible forum posters…

Silly man... 'roleplaying' does not always mean playing the nice guy. If you are in a 'RPG' and you do not roleplay at all, you are not in a MMORPG. You have no role. You are just playing. It is a sad state of affairs that twists the meaning of MMOR…

Thanks for the quick response. I don't think that's the case, though, as all of the topics I've posted in are still displayed in the "recent posts" in my profile.

I'd definitely check out Cyberpower - Lots of component options, and a forum where you can ask some of the guys who actually build the systems about compatibility, etc. Or PC Specialist - Though you can't select brands (as you can on the Cyberpower…

I agree with the OP about the details; they're the things you really appreciate after the initial novelty of a game begins to fade, and let you really immerse yourself. Particularly with this being a Warhammer MMORPG, as while I'm somewhat unfamilia…

If you're mostly gaming (and not rendering 3D work or the like), I'd go with a high clocked (but newer architecture, as mentioned above) dual core (which means Intel Core 2, currently) rather than quad core, which run hotter and draw more power.

I can appreciate this situation too; roleplaying (especially if you get really into roleplaying as I have in the past...) does tend to make one conscious of how others view it as a passtime. If it's really something that bothers you, you could simpl…
