I'm not sure how BG DA would look on a game boy, i think it would be a step down, don't you, Arivia?

Yes, but you could atleast make your own charackter.
But we should probablly not discuss this becouse it is of topic and you know what Alaundo thinks about that.

Well the GBA is capable of the same graphics as a PS1, so it shouldn't look all that bad. Besides graphics isn't everything in RPG's. The sound is the most important IMO.

Basicly BG DA is a Realms version of Diablo I and II

From an RPG point-of-wiev the PS2 version SUCKED. The onyl thing that saved it was it's grapics, and the hudge boobs of the chicks.

Err... I mean the detailed... err.... *chokes*

Okay, okay. Shure. The PS2 Version was very good, if you compare it to most other Playstation Games.

And, combined with sexy babes, and the ability to Play Drizzt Do'Urden (Even though he sucks in later game... refusing to use other weapons than Icingheat & Twinkle, the bastard) was kind of interesting.

It was a good time-killer for those times when you were pissed off at the Cowled Wizards for killing you for the 75th time, or when those Annoying Vampires leeched your entire party down to level 3 - 4, and you were out of gold.

Though... the 'last boss' was *INSANELY* easy to kill... as were all the other bosses. I actually even killed the Last boss with a nude (Oooooo) level 1 Sorceress once. And, before you ask, YES. I do have alot of spare-time.

The thinkg that actually annoyed me the most about the game was the fact that... IT DIDN'T END! We just jumped through a portal, and was told that you need t buy another game! wtf's up with *THAT*!?

I kinda felt like killing some Bioware (or whomever made the game) employee right about then.

I would have bought the Next game anyway (Forgotten realms all the way!).

So to me it's just annoying.

On a different Note: What's the highest char lvl avy of u have ever gotten in Dark Alliance? mine is around 36 (With Drizzt)

His weapon is called Icingdeath, not icingheat.... Shadowlord chuckles heartily....

I can, but remember that I am not a sage, I am a shadowdancer in the service of Vhaeraun. I am only knowledgable because it allows me to know my enemies better......

Well... in that case... bugger-off. I have no interest in dealing with the likes of you.

Unless... you would be willing to aid me. I am currently looking for a nice little place to call my own (I am... new to this palce), and a network of contacts to support me. Interested?

I am always interested in another ally, unless they follow Lolth or Eilistraee, of course......

I would be willing to support you, and maybe even show you around the keep......

I follow no Diety... for the moment atleast. I have not aquired knowlege of any that I would seek the favour of.

It would be much appriecieted if you could guide me to a detailed desription of various dieties, and I shall see if any of them hold my interest.

I am startign to feel a bit vounerable... who knows what might happen if I keep refusing to worship any diety... the gods might just smite me just for the sake of it!

Well, I have my own website dedicated to my deity Vhaeraun. I would be honored if you would join. If the Drow God of Thievery does not interest you, perhaps other deities will....

I will answer any questions that you may have about deities, and if I am to support you I must at least know what skills you have. I'm not about to sponsor someone who is worthless.....
