This weekend I continued my starting addiction to Lucas Arts awesome RPG SW:KOTOR, where my character Uriel Ventris completed his Jedi training on Dantooine. This is an awesome turning point after the rather boring beginning of the game. Now that my party aboard the Ebon Hawk is really big and I can choose from a large variety of people I mostly enjoy playing as a Jedi only party (Juhani, Bastila) - crushing enemies with force powers and chopping them up with light sabers - what I find extraordinarily fun is using two light sabers at the same time. My next goal is seeking for the other pieces of the map to the Star Forge.BTW if you don't have this game and like RPGs - get it! :D
I also tried out STALKER and was amazed by the size and detail the game had - I spent my first hours wandering around and taking dozens of screenshots of every brick building ;)
Without wanting anything by it I was attacked by mutants, fled and ran into a group of soldiers who then started attacking me aswell. After a lot of confusion, med packs and running away I managed to get rid of them and was happy to grab some AKs and other interesting equipment. Without knowing it I started a small war between the army and the village Cordon ... until now we have been able to beat back the military numerous times. This might help beginners in getting better weapons quicker - attack the soldiers and lure them into the wildlife - with some luck they'll be attacked by dogs and you will have to deal with less enemies in total. After having equipped myself with better weapons and stuff I headed out to complete the first quest and rescue Nimble from the bandits. What I enjoyed most was the clever AI and the fellow STALKERS fighting along with me. During the fight I climbed one of the buildings and took in the surroundings - an awesome sight - even more so with the weather change from sunshine to thunderstorm. Also a great idea to get a high vantage point before attacking or fighting enemies!After finishing the first few quests I think I will now cross the rail bridge and dwell further into the zone.
That's it - first blog entry done - more to follow ;)
