It's been a while since I've really gotten into a game with characters, but Mordecai from Borderlands is pretty awesome. I'll go with him as #1. #2 would be... um... Geralt from The Witcher or I was going to say the guy you play in STALKER, but when I think about it, his life must be really really terrible, so scratch that. So Mordecai and Geralt it is

LOL I agree and disagree with this. It is a reverse job for most people but I have to say once you get into the story lines, it's absolutely one of the best games ever made. I sold my account earlier this year after leaving it sit inactive for a while, but I still haven't found many games that compare.

The trick is to not fall into an addiction and obsess over raiding and item acquisition. Also, Uther is MAINLY from the Warcraft RPGs so the basis for my character is a little less nerdy than one strictly from WoW.


Most memorable character in any game I've played but not necessarily one I'd chose for my answer... Snake from Metal Gear or Kratos from GoW

As a general rule, I don't exploit bugs. I enjoyed how challenging STALKER was at the beginning. I took my time through the midgame, gathering up insane gear and getting really good with it, and then stormed through to the end. It was, in my opinion, the best and most engaging FPS I have ever played.

I should have said worked around, I'm not a cheat user or anything like that, spoils the game, I knew a lot of people got so frustrated with this game they gave up on it early..

For example when entering an area, the game would forget to load up the NPC's, before i figured that out, i'd be ten minutes wandering about then all of a sudden the game would hang up, go again and i'd be surrounded on all sides by bandits. A fast quick save and reload sorted it out.

Other than that, nothing ca,me close to this game for me until the mass effects and fallout 3

Oh, you meant bad bugs. I never really ran into any. There were a few minor trigger type issues, but nothing like what you're describing. And a few graphics issues as well. And sometimes the poor translations caused problems.

I still amazes me how much I liked it, given all the technical issues...

i think the 1.3 or whatever patch sorted that out, the trigger could be laggy at times.

It just kind of sucked me in. I was hooked when i was creeping about in the dark and saw a bandit with his light on (had night vision) then i saw another stalker crep out from behind a bush and blast him in the back of the head. The AI was incredible, game had tremendous personality. played it start to finish 3 times and the game was completely different each time.

I even thought the bad translation was endearing lol

Played STALKER a lot (still do) the original and all others after it. I got them on all on a weekend deal from Steam and didn't notice any bugs to speak of. Of course, by that time and with the automatic upgrades through Steam any bad buggies were probably already fixed.

As far as immersive gameplay Hidden and Dangerous II gets my vote for that. I can remember spending countless hours working through the stealth missions just to get the team out without ever raising an alarm or getting wounded. Yea... I'm wierd like that...

Currently working on Splinter Cell - Conviction trying to not ever be detected (on the levels where it's actually possible)... proving to be a real challenge...

clear sky crashed on me constantly.. then on day it crashed and wouldn't load up the save games citing they were created under a different patch version of the game.. they weren't. i lost 20 maybe more hours and a LOT of good kit great armour, upgraded rifles of all designations and types... was not happy, haven't reinstalled it again
