In the meantime
Sep. 22nd, 2005 12:04 pmDid no decorating yesterday; frittered the evening away playing through Dungeon Siege again. (I was curious about the number of items that appear late in the game that benefit your magic skills while requiring high strength, and decided to see if a fighter-mage was a valid archetype. It seems to be working alright thus far but I can't shake the feeling I'd be better of just fireballing things into oblivion. I was also curious about whether hiring only the "free" party members was viable - interestingly the fewer members in your party, the more your existing party members fight so the harder you get. I am intrigued by the notion of playing a single character through and becoming uber-hard, but I don't think I can be bothered with a third play-through.)
I feel some small guilt over this. But then I remind myself of the nights I stayed in waiting for
stsquad to show up so we could get started, and he went to the pub or whatever instead, and it goes away.
When Alex eventually got home we watched TV in our dressing-gowns[1]. On tonight's menu were episodes of both Stargate (S9) and Lost (S1). People are right about Lost - when they've got through the first round of back-story establishing flashback episodes, the plot really does kick in in a major way. I think Locke is my favourite character, though Sawyer is still the prettiest. Not as pretty as Stargate, though, which had a scene near the beginning where Browder and Shanks both had their arms out. Mrr.

Date: 2005-09-22 11:11 am (UTC)Dungeon Siegeis a 3D party-based Diablo-em-up. It's an interesting intellectual exercise but not particularly good.

Date: 2005-09-22 01:21 pm (UTC)It could be adequately described as a cross between Diablo and Baldur's Gate. Only in 3D.
