I heartily concur. Nobody, and I mean nobody, takes my heart the way Maxical can.

Her vivacious and infectious manner will stay with me forever.

Thanks for bringing back an image of her again, mALX.

I have a question-

Has anybody here played the Witcher series. I just bought number 3 on Xbox and hooked up online to see how many updates and free content they added. It said 18GB.

Insane!

I've played the first two. The original didn't run particularly well on my old laptop, so I never got around to completing it. Had a lot of fun with the second on my 360. Loved the way they handled the story branching and I'm a big fan of Vernon Roche. Unfortunately since I've only got a 360 I can't play the third

The Witcher 3 is an amazing game. They all pretty much are. Very dark, very adult, story/lore heavy and almost every decision is morally gray. One thing to know, the happy endings of many games are pleasantly absent from the Witcher. Sometimes your actions will have effects you didn't intend amd sometimes those effects will hurt people you care about or leave you feeling like you should've made a different choice. For the most part though there are no mustache twirling villians (with the exception of the Wild Hunt) and everyone is looking out for their best interest while trying to propel their king or faction to the top of the heap. The last game shakes all this up and shows that the series is never really predictable and is well written.

In the second game there are 4-5 major differences in the endings. The third game is a bit more straightforward but with equally important decisions and multiple endings.

I'm a big fan because up until the Witcher the true RPG was a drowning genre. Not many great ones for a disappointing period of time.

The devs are good too, not charging for small dlc pieces and only for the full fledged expansion packs. They are also pretty good about patching problems quickly.

I think you'll love it if you give it a chance.

Kazimir went through a dozen health potions in that fight. That's how useless the Battlemages were.

I think the problem was starting in Anvil. Starting in the Imperial City, Anvil would have been one of the less immediate quests, and would have taken some time to get to. Kazimir would probably have been level four or five by the time he got there, and things would have played out differently. But starting in Anvil it's natural to take that Guild Quest first, because it's a pretty long trip out there to do one quest that's required to get access to the Arcane University.

That and I really wasn't expecting Caminalda to throw lightning bolts around. I've never seen her do that before.

Sorry about the loss of Kaz, CT. Maybe start him again in Bruma or Bravil (where the first recommendation is much safer) and, like mirocu suggests, play him close to town and protectively till he levels up. Sounds like Kaz's build is strong - just a late bloomer build.

By the way, since the server went down a couple weeks ago all the older stories in these fics are having issues showing punctuation as diamonds - if you are seeing that on your screen; go to the "tools" button on the page; find the "Encoding" (may be under "More Tools") - click on "Western."

I'm actually too jealous right now for my typical Magnetoesque response to mods, that just sounds seriously cool.

I've never played a Khajiit, their faces just don't work for me. Maybe if I spent thirty minutes or so trying to sort one out...

Same here. I played Maxical as a vanilla Khajililt on the XBox for years, but was really, really not happy with her looks at all. There was nothing about her that I could feel attached to; but I liked the Khajiit racial bonuses. I saw this screenshot on the internet one day and it is the whole reason I went out and bought a gaming PC and Oblivion for PC:

IPB Image

The mod is fantastic. Her facial expressions go from sad; surprised; bored; happy; angry; really angry; injured = and the ears reflect everything you see in her face; which is something the vanilla Khajiit player character never did. It also made her look younger; and unique. That was a huge thing, to me - and one of the reasons I couldn't play Maxical in Skyrim. I couldn't give her a unique look there, she looked exactly the same as every other white Khajiit there.

I had never seen head tracking in the game before; and the first time I saw her do it I got hooked on playing in 3rd person just to watch her nodding at people in passing and smiling at them - or glaring at them and laying her ears back!

The mod gave her the personality that the vanilla Khajiit totally lacked. I added voice to her so she hums when she is walking about; and sighs; and then found that great Scottish voice files from Annah-of-the-Shadows, from Planescape: Torment - she even talks about having a tail; and is kind of scrappy like Maxical is - so the voice fit.

Maxical's mod is the only mod I will not play without; the game would never be the same with a vanilla Khajiit for me.

TBH, I think there is something wrong with the website, that is causing it to report the wrong character set. We shouldn't have to manually set our character encoding to Western every time we view a page. When I look at Page Info in Firefox, it says that the page encoding is UTF-8, but lower down in the same window it says the Meta tag from the page is reporting iso-8859-1. So something weird is going on.

In game he could be tough or too easy, depending on what you came after him with. But by fan of his, I was talking about his dialogue; he is kind of charismatic when you first talk to him (like Mankar Camoran is) - I really like when they make the enemies feel a little grayish and make you wonder before killing them, lol.

Well, he was rather undermined by that Wizard's Fury spell that the Guild hands out. Any destruction using mage is basically given an I Win button. It does make him feel pretty anticlimactic.

But he and Camoran do make for good villainous characters.

Does your UTF-8 in the character meta match the mime-type being served?

They all need to match. Just changing the META to read UTF-8 doesn't mean the file is saved encoded AS UTF-8.

So, you need these three to match:
File Format/Encoding
Meta saying what encoding is used
Mime-type on the server.

Sounds like you've got one, maybe two of those and not all three.

Of course as a forums you also have how the posts were char-accepted meaning the data stored in the SQL databases may not be encoded to UTF-8, completely boning any chance of your existing posts ever being served as UTF-8 properly without adding more php to translate the old ones on the fly; this is why changing character encodings on an existing website is most always a disaster. Is that forum script set up to send utf-8?

I have just noticed that I can download Witcher 2 as it is now backward compatible. I must remember to play that one first.

My sister turned mostly grey at the age of about 25 so she started dying her hair real quick. I am lucky to have no sign of grey in my 40's, touch wood. I do have pasty white skin though from playing too much Bethesda and never seeing the sun.

My Mom is (was) full Italian; I think that had something to do with both her and her Mother looking so young their whole lives.
