Why is it...

... that reading about this game on these boards is nearly as much fun as playing it?

I've been spending a lot of time rumaging about in both the ToB and SoA forums, and its been really interesting.

 

I dunno. I aways like to particapate in the forums whenever I am playing a game. You get a sence of community I guess. Other people like the same things you do.

 

I'm not sure of the answer to that. I would suggest that sometimes it is more fun than playing (because sometimes playing takes too long). Hence the popularity of Splunge's Game-Be-Gone mod.

 

It is the possibility to see the game with fresh eyes again.

And hey, you even discover something new for yourself ! I mean HB's tracking ability in Sendai's Enclave

 

It adds to the game as mentioned above. I learnt how great Assassins were (I would have never considered a thief as a main character) and they are now my favourit class, thanks to these boards. Its also fun to read other people's experiences.

 

I learnt how to play Bards, and especially what a destructive force Blades can be.

I learnt the concept of soloing in the first place from this board. Before coming here, the very idea of going it solo was unthinkable.

Reading this board kept me in touch with BG2...which got me to play it, which got me to read the boards...55 solos on...the cycle continues!!

 

Or it could be that discussing computer games on the internet is right up there with the nerdiest, geekiest things you could possibly do.

And you're all proud (or not) of being mega-geeks!

 

Damn! Busted!

 

Sorcerer's is an addiction. Ask those of us who log in atleast twice a day to check out whats happening. And we did come here for the games.
Evertime I come here I want to re-install my games for another run. But it just takes too bloody long.

 

Get Splunge's Game-Be-Gone Mod then. That helps to speed the game up a bit.

 

Are there two of them then? Game-Be-Gone is made by igi.

 

Who's igi? I'm sure Splunge's mod is more user-friendly. Especially when used in tandem with Sorvo's Computer-Be-Gone mod (which helps cut that annoying startup time).

 

the famous singer igi poop?

 

@Harbourboy
Game-be-Gone was made by igi, Splunge just created a post entailing his run-through with igi's mod as a joke to all the "my first run-through" posts.

Here's the post

*edit*
Oh, and igi is the main man behind the IESDP on Gibberlings 3 which is a resource/database of coding stuff for the Infinity Engine. Someone like Camdawg or Andyr could go more in-depth on the subject.

The mod I want is Sorvo's Computer-be-Gone. No, forget that. What I want is Microsoft-be-Gone.

And as to why I keep coming back to SP: Silliness like this. The fun of reading what others have done or are doing. On going advice. The sense of community and most of all the fact that I can read the posts (most of them) without getting eye strain and a headache.

 

Reading 'bout the game is fun, as long as the posters and players remain playful. Power-gaming or number-crunching makes me sick, such games are played for fun and not to have the most efficient party or character.
This may just be my opinion, though.
