I've pre-ordered from Amazon UK many, many times and never got them a day early. Always on release day.
Is yours a 360/PS3 game as my PC copy has yet to be despatched?

PS. But is it a next day delivery? Otherwise it may turn up on Friday all the same.

Xbox 360.

Well, I've come to accept American spelling in games for a long time now, but American voice acting in a fantasy game? I mean, can you imagine watching LotR with American accents? Plus, Oblivion had predominantly British voice acting. I know I'm not the only who is bothered by this.

"Accept" American spelling? Didn't realize we used inferior spelling over here :(

I'd rather have Norwegian, or Finnish, or any other Scandinavian country's accent, it makes more sense with the theme!

I was also going to mention Christopher Plummer, who does a British VO in the game. Not sure why you're so weird about it...

No you don't want Finnish accent. Apparently i sound a bit like German (according to some HaloGAFerrs). Most Finns have lazy accent, there's no weight in right places etc. So called Rally Driver Accent. Not good. Completly unsuitable for voice acting.

I know you can live with one and half lung but i'm not sure about one lung. But then the post i quoted claimed you don't need half a brain...

It's really annoying to see if you're from another country. Pretty much any country other than the U.S., it was refreshing to see the correct spelling in space marine.

Guys, is it possible to use lets say Australian VPN in order to unlock the game on Steam earlier? Already have it preloaded but the wait will kill me and on Friday morning I leave for a business trip and will be away for 4 days so I hoped I can get a few hours of play before I leave

You have to be joking. I don't have any problems playing games with non-American spellings.

What's wrong with me claiming us Finns english accents are horrible? Because that's the truth. IMO. At least non-actors accents are horrible, mine included.

For that Amazon pre-order, it's very unlikely that you'll get it tomorrow. Chances are, you'll get it Friday. I've bought almost all of my last 10 release day games on Amazon with release day shipping and I've never gotten them early.

Only once did I get it late,a nd it was Madden '12 after the hurricane this year.

Not worth it.

1. Hassles if something goes wrong. Serious hassles.
2. It's an epic game, a few hours won't cut it at the beginning of an RPG.

I wouldn't fret yet, I use release date delivery all the time and sometimes won't get a shipping confirmation until 6 or 7PM the night before the game is supposed to arrive.

I'm more concerned about it being late. Shipments don't arrive until very late in the day, and sometimes there are problems with larger boxes (see: Dragon Edition). Guess I'll just cross my fingers and hope for the best.

I found an unusable repair hammer. Beth is teasing me, and frankly, I don't care. :lol

And there were actually two necromancers and two fire mages. Bastards. They're dead now, though.

Some british people think we spell some words wrong, not realizing that when you lose the war you don't get to decide what's correct ;)

Ask them to summon you back from the dead when they kill you and then turn on them.

I wish this was possible.

Ninja, you're playing on Adept right? I was thinking about going Expert, but if you're getting repeatedly whacked on a lower level then I might bump it down a notch. Yes, I'm the weak sauce :'(

Just bought it through uk.gamesplanet.com

This site used to be (or still is) game.co.uk's digital download site?
Because i tried to register and I already had an account, recovered the password and realized that I had a game there (RIFT) I bought through GAME on a promotion a couple of months ago

I'm playing on the hardest difficulty level and it's challenging but doable. I'm a mage with barely any armor so a well-armed foe can take me down in a matter of seconds. I've taken to summoning lots of flame atronarchs to divert their attention.

Has anyone confirmed if wearing Heavy Armor gives you penalties to spells? I really want to be a heavy armored battle mage.

27 or 28 I believe. The highest level skills I have right now (character level 11) are just over 30.

I summoned a zombie Elk and it just ran the hell away.

That's what happens when you resurrect something as dumb as an Elk. You're lucky it even got back up on all fours.

I found a freakin' word wall! I can breathe fire, motherfuckers. Don't mess with me.

So will playing on the hard / very hard difficulties actually make the game unenjoyably difficult, or is it worth it for a bit of challenge?

EDIT: I also just got the patch installed. I'm so fucking ready.
