I agree. Baurus goes down faster than Brett Farve. When I met the mythic dawn dudes in the sewer, he got smoked in about 8 seconds.

Do you think you'll have fun playing that character? If yes, then it's a good character. Spending time worrying about levelling and making sure you get +5 bonuses doesn't help as much as having fun playing the character.

You might be doing something wrong if you're level 15 and getting your butt kicked by 2 minotaurs and a bear in seconds when you're cheating. With the size of minotaurs, it's really easy to maneuver yourself to a spot where you're only fighting 1 at a time. This, IMO, makes minotaurs the easiest ...

Politics on a game site?

Never a good idea, because it degenerates into people (correctly) telling you that you have no idea what you're talking about.

I realized why Lucien didn't feel right

Lucien is a really cool character idea, but I realized that the reason I never liked him was that he felt incomplete and flat. After plugging in my old Xbox (not the 360) and going through some old games, I came to the conclusion that Lucien reminded me too much of Garrett, of Thief fame, but doesn ...

Does it freeze when it goes to the "Loading" screen? If so, check the game disc itself. I've noticed that the game spins so much that the XBox will scratch some of the inside tracks. If that's the case, it will eventually get so bad that it can't load the game. This happened to me and I had to get a ...

I don't know much about XBOX, but I would imagine that it uses the NTFS file structure, so you should be able to add it as a secondary hard drive to any PC running Win2000 or higher.

The XBox uses its own file system. I'd imagine it's loosely based on NTFS, but it's different enough that you can ...

As a count you could also try to enlarge your property, by taking land from other counts and stuff. And you could train your own guard by fighting them. Or you just kill the count of Skingrad, and take his land, along with your own. Some of the ruins on your land you clear of enemy's, and you make ...

Yeah, that would definately be awesome. After they rebuild you'd probably be made Count of Kvatch or something.

I've checked them ALL. (Thanks).

I'll assume that you're high enough level that you don't get fine steel weapon drops from bandits or goblins, then. If that's the case, then you might be SOL.
