I almost always hoard potions like gold and then never end up even using them. dunno why.

I guess it's my heartland upbringing ... gotta save for a raining day.

I'm having trouble being nice overall. But Morrigan and I get along well. I'm totally hooking up with her.

Same. I always have this problem when playing these types of games. Negative karma consumes me.
The dog comes in if you helped his original owner find a special flower to help him (the dog) recover.
I pissed off the same priestess -- she was babbling about me donating to the church and I laughed in her face... I miss the option for "time to shut you up" from Mass Effect, where you would then knock the NPC the **** out.

Oh man, I'm the opposite. I can never enjoy the game as an evil character.

A very important question for you guys.

As per the FAQ for the game

5.08 Will there be zombie kittens in the game?

You never know. Keep your eyes open.

Is there Zombie Kittens? This could be the deciding factor on how epic this game is.

same here ... in fact being evil comes so unnaturally that i have to force myself to do enough bad things to maintain a neutral type character. Usually i find one uber evil thing to do several times so i can go back to my "good" nature.

I know man, I'm thinking to myself "It's just a game, don't be such a f*g" but I just can't help but feel wrong. Whatever.

You ****in homos. At least that's what I always say to myself when I play Mr. Niceguy on a game.

Probably for the same reason I don't level my characters right away, and just leave them with basic skills while hoarding their attribute and skill points.

reerunation.

ya I can run it with optimal settings. But my computer chair and leaning over to play a game can be uncomfortable. I like to lounge and lay back on my recliner when I game. That's probably why I can't get into the MMO's that I've tried playing. I'm not going to spend $100's to get a better PC gaming desk/chair setup either to make it more comfortable to play.

Well that strategy did give you a hell of an advantage in KOTOR. Use all the points after you became Jedi instead of wasting them on lower class shit.

fear of commitment
regret anxiety

so afraid that you will pick a skill that turns out to suck you just refuse to pick until you know exactly what's gonna happen.


I do the same thing

It can really pay off.
For instance

Spoiler!

The prisoner you first see in the hanging cage has a key to a chest that may be useful. you can bullshit around and do a few tedious tasks for him or you can kill him (he's gonna die anyway - not much for a chance of appeal), take the key, and then tell the watching guard that a grey warden doesn't have to explain himself or his actions.

BOOM mother ****er!
