Lawl so good. I know what I'm doing tonight. 30€ happily spent. Hmm i played them a lot too, and enjoyed them heavily. But don't know if its worth 30,- even though its cheap. Are the games really worth coming back to or is it pure nostalgia? €30 for never playing them again is a lot  I'll decide tomorrow :DRepublic commando will probably make me cough up the bucks tho. | ||

Jedi Knight must be the game I played most just behind Guild Wars (well, those two probably are behind Starcraft 2 by now :D). Pure dueling all night, I'd say it's worth the $3. But you're right... I bought the whole $30 pack kind of out of nostalgia ;D. It's one of those rare Steam packs where I know all the games and played most of them. I didn't play Unleashed, I intend to correct that. | ||

I played both and the first one was ok by no means a masterpiece but some fun to be had. The second one is complete trash somehow the game got worse and on top of that its ridiculously short. So the second one is a waste of money no matter how cheap it is. | ||

Nice amount of depth and complexity, haven't gotten into it far enough to judge how good the strategic AI is, but really great so far. My journey of indecision and researching space 4X games has finally come to an end (for now at least :D).Edit: looks like the sale is over, just got lucky with random Steam browsing I think. | ||

I passed up on this game many times because of reviews (damn you space sector! lol), but it is pretty much exactly the kind of game I like and have been looking for... so good.

Is it finally finished? I remember skipping it when it launched because everyone said it was a buggy unfinished mess, and then it went on sale a year later and it was apparently still an buggy unfinished mess. I guess i could take a loot at it again at the next sale, SotS1 was pretty good. | ||

Also, avoid Nightmare difficulty, it's just broken. I agree with it being long and slow paced. Playing through it once thoroughly will take you about 70 to 80 hours (without expansion pack). Also, there is a ton of very good mods out there for better textures, higher difficulty etc. | ||

Even the best armored warrior (unless you're using the completely broken DLC armor) is going to evaporate in a few hits. Closing distance on ranged/mage enemies before one of your guys is at 1/2 health is impossible. There are also a couple of completely unfair fights (the thief groups in Denerim comes to mind) where you start off surrounded by traps with a billion archers that can 4 shot your MC. Nightmare mode turns all those mooks you usually ignore in favor of high value targets into monsters able to 3-4 shot anyone that's not a shield warrior. Yeah, it's possible (yay, Cone of Cold!) but it's very frustrating. EDIT: Maybe I'm less of a min-maxer than most, but unless you're min-maxing and using broken combos that make the combat less fun (I guess you're being "strategic" but you're using the same 4-5 spells and combos over and over and cheesing Line of Sight) you won't get past the intro on Nightmare. | ||

So it's like a normal play-through in Baldur's Gate? | ||
