So you already played through it once? Or did you stop somewhere? I'm really excited by this game and that means something because I hold all good RPG's against some pretty darn stiff competition of games already played. Ever played Planescape Torment from Black Isle? That is my all-time favorite and that was because of the baffling depth of gameplay, NPC storylines and character development. I find Dragon Age also rich in character, I really like the influence system and the diversity of NPC to take with you. But hey, I'm going offtopic here, but glad to know that the "competition" is not training hardcore for some super-duper highscore! smile.gif I can rest more easily now, death to all Darkspawn.....

I played Dragon Age only about 3 hours, then I bought Borderlands and this RPG Shooter has captivated me for round about 50 hours. Now I've done Borderlands and will now play Dragon Age and the fantastic Kings Bounty Armored Princess.

Yes Planescape was the RPG with the best story and the best gag's.

Wait for melon's Fishtales, think this is the next table to start a new highscore Competition biggrin.gif

I bet you cheated in the crate multiball... Am I right? biggrin.gif I talked about it before in another topic... The ball is doing a repetitive motion when it is get out of skill shot kicker during crate multiball. Given the chance to make millions and millions of points... The physics of this table isn't so good. (sorry JP! smile.gif I love your tables, you know).
I think this table extremely easy for my taste. I usually play on the real machine and isn't so easy as many think.

Nice! VP8 Eala Sidhe version? I haven't seen a VP9 conversion yet, maybe somebody is working on it.
Slam23


Actually Noah made a VP9 Mod of it, it should be under the mod section for VP9 4:3 tables.


Yeah, I can confirm it works very well in VP9... so much so that I have a less than stellar Fullscreen mod of it on my pinball PC.

Well, i "did" take advantage juggling balls during multiball modes in a repetitive fashion. I wouldn't call it cheating tough, everybody can take advantage of it. Cheating happens when someone finds a loophole, exploits it and remains secret about it's existence. Pretty much like Portuguese state secrets and computer hacking... biggrin.gif

Thanks Slam!

I used to play Priston Tale 2 on a daily basis, i had a level 53 Paladin. The hosting company (Key to Play) wasn't profiting due to the fact that some players created a black market of items selling them for gold. The company in response pulled the plug on the server with no previous warning and disappeared overnight. The game is now being hosted by Gamerkraft but having to build everything from scratch is no fun anymore.

I refuse to pay for a game where players can pay to have advantage over others and hackers are kings.

I know this is a stupid fight but somehow it feels important to me:



NVRAM

Everytime i break my own highscore i remind myself of how difficult it must be to do the same with the real pinball table. I have my serious doubts that someone could get 12k+. Nonetheless i'll try to surpass that mark! smile.gif

Thanks for your NVRAM, it will certainly be impossible to beat the score.


My first experience with JP's incredible good Jack-bot Flipper. He is damn fast.

The new v1.02 version of JP's Jack-bot is really good, not so fast as the last v1.01.



Hehe, i beat my own highscore

Hi Bolt,
Had a 3 day convention, so no pinball for me the last days.... sad.gif Great score though, will be very hard to beat you on this table! It's a drainfest for me, very frustrating but also very challenging. I'll try to get some playtime in today and will post when I get an acceptable score.....
