Naw, I get where you're coming from with the water thing. I think it's stupid entirely though (not your ideas, just the running water bit). If there's nothing special about the water except the fact that it's moving, what on Earth is stopping them? I can't even imagine what would make someone think that out of all the different possibilities out there, running water should be a checkmate for vampires. Doing them some degree of harm seems a bit more plausible, but like I said before if nothing is inherently special about this water except that it's running I don't understand why it is so powerful. Same with the no reflection thing. Someone should tell the mirrors that inanimate objects don't have souls.

Yeah, I have to say I was also disappointed with the way Reach went down, and I've been a pretty avid fan of the series since the first game. Of course, as I said before, the developer made plenty of comments about how much focus was put into making it "one of the best multiplayer experiences" or something to that effect. I'll probably never stop liking Halo, but Bungie's swan song left a bitter taste in my mouth in a lot of respects. Perhaps it was hype though, and I expected more than could be delivered.
About the Wii, I'm with you on that for the most part. I've liked mostly all of the Nintendo titles I've played. They're just damn good games. The whole Wii controller thing is what I dislike though. I've got very unsteady hands, and coupling that with a twitchy system to begin with doesn't help. That's mainly why I prefer PC and Xbox to the PS3 as well. Big, clunky things to control with. Keeps my hands a little more steady. Of course, the Wii is perfectly fine if I throw a GameCube controller on that sucker. Super Smash Bros. is timeless.

Win.

Aww man that stinks. I always hate when something goes screwy with the computer. Usually my lack of desire to deal with the problem when it arises means it sits there and festers for a few weeks. Hopefully you sort everything out okay though.

I say that they are getting crappy now. I usually end up playing LoZ: OoT now even if it has horrible graphics. At least its a good game.
Yeah, it's definitely the games. I doubt I'm expecting "more" from a game, because I still bust out the N64 for some good old Mario Kart and StarFox 64. Neither game is incredibly deep, and the graphics are far from stunning. However, the games were put together well, played well, and are just "fun" in general.
The whole focus on multiplayer gaming has also thrown a wrench into my liking of newer titles. I was a pretty big solo gamer, because that's really the only option I had back in the day. Gamecube didn't have games with online matchmaking, and about as close as I got to multiplayer computer games was RuneScape and other junk like that, lol. Because of the huge focus on the online multiplayer aspect of games, though, I feel that my displeasure at least partially is a result of the lack of effort put into polishing the single player aspect of games. A game can be marvelous without being suited for more than one player at a time. It's something that developers appear to have lost focus of. Not everyone who plays a game wants to feel like they're being forced to put up with the primarily obnoxious userbase that populates their online matchmaking. PC gaming is a little better in that respect, at least. I still want to be able to play a game by myself without wearing out all of the things to do within a few hours.

Yeah, but once you've advanced the skills enough anyhow you're going to be pretty much invincible. The game seems to get a lot easier the higher my level goes, which is why I typically increase the difficulty setting gradually each level after 20 or so. If you're stuck in a pinch, it's really easy to just throw up Invisibility, sneak around a bit, chug a few health potions, and then go right back to it.

Well, there needs to be some indication of vampirism, especially at later levels, or what's the point?I have a mod that simply removes vampire wrinkles. It makes a huge difference, although there is a little bone restructuring and the red eyes still.
Well your character would still feel the effects of it. Just wouldn't look like a hideous sob is all. I don't see why it's necessary to look like trash lol.
-
Ahh, thanks for the link to the aging thing. I was going to try out another Vampire character, but the horrendous things that it does to appearance annoys me. I want to stroll into town looking like an average Joe, and then stroll on out when everyone has been sucked dry.

Well if you never do the Jemane Brother's quests you can chill in Weatherleah. Of course the place is rather run down. The official add-ons Vile Lair, Thieve's Den, Fighter's Stronghold, and Mage's Tower (I think that's what it's called?) all add some very unique places to take up residence in, with rather simple quests accompanying them. Other than that, though, I can't think of anything "out in the woods" or something. Everything else I call to mind is a house in a city, or the mansion in Anvil with the more-than-creepy basement. All of the add-ons residences are fairly out of the way though.

Nice. Will it show up if I just search "Vampirism" in the files?
-
Night's still young here lol. May as well say Happy New Year now though since I'll be out and about when it finally rolls around here. Welcome to 2011!

Mods, my friends. Mods.I hate playing a vampire. Whenever you want to get cured, the quest glitches/potion glitches, and then you're stuck a vampire or stuck with the vamp face :wallbash:
If there's one that makes it so you never get the hideous face I'm all for it. That's really the only thing that bothers me. The rest I can live with, even the Sun Damage effect.
-
I don't know either. :cool:
-
I've got all my Steam stuff in Program Files(x86) and have never had these problems. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it...
Meh, it's not a big deal since I just reformatted. I only have 2 games installed including Oblivion.
Yeah, it'd be a bigger deal for me though. I've got five games installed through Steam. Won't want to have to download those all over again lol.
-
Eh, horkers, hookers, they're unimportant. I'm just worried that Skyrim is going to be perpetually locked in one type of climate. I'll be honest, I hated the snowier northern regions in Oblivion. The prospect of only seeing that and worse in Skyrim bugs me. I guess we'll see though. As far as lore, I don't think we'll be seeing jungles, sadly, lol.
-
Well yeah lol. Having all those Watermelons just chillin in the middle of nowhere wouldn't be good for your savegame, or the game in general anytime you tried to load that cell.
-
Yeah. The Vile Lair cure is soooo much easier than the traditional way that I eeped a little the first time I discovered it.
-
I'd like Vampirism more if it didn't make my dark elves look like giant raisins.

Isn't that what I said?
It's exactly what you said...
There's also a Custom Race fix out there if you liked some of the bugs that the Unofficial Patch fixed. Seeing as you've already got the Patch, though, I'm not sure why I bothered mentioning this.
-
Well, you did win.
-
Lol, which is funny because that's the exact mentality I apply to it. Other people usually turn their heads to the side and stare stupidly (kinda like dogs) whenever I give the reason. But hey, to each their own. I wouldn't want judged so I'll do my best to not judge.
-
I've always had a soft spot for the Dark Seducers and Golden Saints. Not really specific NPCs, but considering they're all identical anyhow...
Ridiculously lame Umbra kill
