It's the best FPS/RPG hybrid ever made. It's also the best horror game ever made. System Shock 2's graphics haven't aged well (and honestly, it didn't look all that good in 1998 either), but it...

If you call yourself a PC gamer, you obviously got it the minute it was released on GOG. :)
In all seriousness, this is great. A few months ago it seemed like SS2 would never be released on any...
The biggest problem with character building in KotoR 2 is that it doesn't really matter what you do. Consulars get a bonus to spell DC and more Force Points, but you can easily achieve the same...
Turn-based?
Actually, come to think of it, it kind of is.
I actually regard that as a strength. Storm of Zehir is a combat-oriented game in the vein of Icewind Dale. The story isn't particularly great, but I love the way it handles different skills and...
I agree. He makes excellent skis.
I've reinstalled Age of Empires 2: The Conquerors for the first time in nearly seven years. The game's still as great as I remembered, unfortunately my playing skill isn't. I couldn't even beat the...
Portal 2's normal singleplayer campaign is somewhat lacking, but there's a lot of great custom maps to make up for it. I'd recommend visiting Portal 2 Maps and downloading a few of the top-rated...
The Ultimate List of Arcanum Easter Eggs on Terra Arcanum has them at the very bottom of the page.
Once you joined the Mages Guild you could just create a spell that raises your Lockpicking skill to 100 for a few seconds and never have to worry about that minigame again. Same with the Speech...
Do song lyrics count?

I think any of the Arcanum tombstones would make for a fitting epitaph.
In "Half-Life 2: Raising the Bar" it's stated that Stephen King's "The Mist" was one of the primary influences on the first game's plot. I've never read the book, so I can't say how accurate that...
You can create your own party in Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, if you really want to. You will miss out on the recruitable NPCs, but then again most of them aren't all that interesting.
Which is a bit...
Pirates are great for cheering up in general.

Nothing. In fact, I feel confident in saying that the gold price will drop again, it's just that no one exactly knows when.
Malawi has the most sound advice in this thread. Always diversify your...
It's always good to see people take an interest in economics. If you'd like a good introduction, I recommend Blanchard's "Macroeconomics" for, well, macroeconomics and Hirshleifer's "Price Theory and...
Oh I agree, anti-evolutionists can't really be considered scientists, since they don't adhere to the scientific method. My point is that the exact same can be said of the Austrian school of...
The GoG sticky has the most important mods. If you're an audiophile though, you might also consider downloading the High Quality Soundtrack mod, which does exactly what you'd expect.
You can also find scientist arguing both for and against evolution. That doesn't mean both positions are equally valid. It's true that the Austrian school of Economics has been strongly in favour of...
And in the game.
I wanted to start a new playthrough of Arcanum, but I've completely forgotten how complex the character creation is. I'll have to spend some time just thinking about what I...
I think this is the first time I've heard someone say the reason our destructive policies are not working is because we didn't try them hard enough.
Webcomics.
Sometimes I think everyone on RPS has the same opinion, we just spend 20 pages arguing over how to express it.
Well, if you ignore her terrible policies and her incredibly vile opinions on nearly any imaginable subject, she was a perfectly decent Prime Minister.

You could always give Sulik a non-burst weapon. He performs very well with the .223 pistol, which I believe you can buy in the NCR. Another nice option is the Pancor Jackhammer, also available at...
First of all, download the recommended mods from this link, if you haven't already. They will make your playthrough a lot more enjoyable. Secondly, go into options, turn on auto-run and put combat...
