My heart sank when I started the download yesterday, it started at 100k sec and started dropping rapidly. I decided to leave it be while I went out. By the time I was ready to leave ten mins later it was up to 350 and was done when I came home. But then I don't have any idea what it went up to while I was out as I have 120 meg broadband.

maybe shagrat never played the original :)

imho it totally stands up to however much it's aged. it's all in the story and the gameplay. so it's not 2012 graphics... but it's not 199x either (running it on 1920x1080 display), looks fine to me.

Just found the bloodhound gang reference. was that in the first one or is it a new thing?

yeah but that was a long time ago, was just wondering if the changes have made it decent or it feels "dated"

it looks like what it is, a bit dated, but its content not Dx11 gfx so ;)

some people are reporting crashes on some soundcards, ive only crashed twice in about 10 hours, and it crashes a lot less than the original nowadays :p

south of nashkel.
a kobold + an xvart + something else.
not marked as enemies though, and if you talk to the kobold he says "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl"

Hmm a bit of research shows it goes back further than the bloodhound gang lyrics to some 80's show.

I'm potentially interested. I've never played it multiplayer, do you each control one character or something and play through the normal story?

I see. My problem is that I work shifts (day and night). So between getting ready for work, travelling, then coming home and eating I'm pretty much offline an entire day when I'm in work. So I can't commit to a definite time slot :(

I didn't bother with getting amazing stats for my first playthrough, i just wanted to get in the game again. I can't remember, do those stats go up as you level?

I remember next to nothing about the game tbh :( will have to go looking for some game guide or something. Well. If I decide not to just play it through myself anyway. Been distracted this weekend by world of Warcraft. Been sticking a few levels on my second priest.
