The way I read that is that you have the same limitations as if it was the Beast Shape spell. But I guess ymmv. It may have been the intention, by RAW seems to be that wildshape can be modified by size-changing spells. Note that while it is called a "polymorph effect " the rule about size...

So Steam has a sale on an RPG called Grotesque Heroes II: Dungeons and Donuts . Didn't play that one, but the first game I stopped playing extremely fast (I think I did the first few quests and couldn't stomach more). The sequel has a much lower metascore (yes, I know it isn't worth much), so I'd g...

Well, the only game out of that list that one may regret not playing is RA3 - so you didn't loose much ;)

Well, technically they can resign. It's just it almost never happens.

Making sure the bishops responsible for pedophile scandals can be shipped to Vatican for safekeeping?

Tag those things, man. Because he wants to do it by blocking out the sun. We need the sun to live. You could argue, that in the TES universe you don't. Still, the blocking of the sun means simple people suffer as vampires are bolder and tend to attack the towns. But I'd say he is marked as evil bec...

It's a picture of a lich who keeps cats as pets instead of flesh-eating zombies. That concept is cute/funny. If it needs to be a reference, I think there was a character in Prequel who was both a cat-hoarder and a necromancer. I picked it out of a bunch of character portraits, and I don't know wher...

What made Morrowind interesting - visually, at the very least - were, among other things, the architecture and the flora/fauna. The weird buildings and especially plants of Oblivion (the plane, not the whole game) took me back, I guess. But I agree, fire and brimstone and demons aren't the height o...

Lava and demons is still better than hills and knights. But I agree, Shivering Isles was almost a return to form. I just thought we were talking vanilla Oblivion. It's as generic as knights and hills. I've mentioned SI since I can't see the vanilla Oblivion realms as something interesting/not gener...

How about being annoyed by lag which currently can make the game nearly unplayable? The fact YOU didn't happen to get such doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

Are you retarded? Lots of Skyrim bugs prevented you from playing large parts of the game. Parts. Not the whole damn thing. This bug doesn't do that. It does not prevent you from playing the game. All it does is force you to wait a minute and a half before equipping a shield to a guy who comes with ...

If Diablo III has 600 times fewer bugs than New Vegas, I'm not sure how it can be called unplayably buggy, or even buggy. The existence of one or two bugs that are unlikely to come up in play does not make a game buggy. No bug in Skyrim blocked you from playing the game itself (since that what bloc...
