the_gneechWell, I'm up way too late and I didn't get any drawing done today, 'cause I finished Jade Empire instead.
I liked it.
I really, really liked it.
Jade Empire II has now reached the status of "Killer App" for XBox 360.
Damn you, Bioware.

You need to check your facts, dude. :)

Eh, now that you're done with the game, I gotta ask ya... did you get the thing 'cause it had half naked fox ladies, or was that just icing on the cake? Lol. The game is packed with anthros though, I gotta hand them that. I thought the game could used some more work rather than a get ton of side quests, arr.
I kept getting the impression it was a tamer version of "Fable" though... if I remember correctly, it had some of the same lil' game companies developing the two. I kept getting the impression that if they didn't spend so much time with voice acting, they could have put other amazing stuff in. Dunno

Date: 2006-01-17 01:17 pm (UTC)Jade Empire was developed by BioWare (Baldur's Gate 1&2, Knights of the Old Republic, NeverWinter Nights, etc.).
Fable was done primarily by LionHead Studios, and I've no clue what else they've had their grubby little paws into.

Extra healing FTW.

Date: 2013-10-09 01:27 pm (UTC)In any case, I picked this back up after a long hiatus, and I find it interesting to see earlier forms of character archetypes Bioware used in their later games.
Black Whirlwind is very, very Krogan.
Dawn Star would be Liara if you dyed her blue, and Silk Fox is very Miranda-esque.
Sky I think tries to be a proto-Garrus, but can't quite pull it off.
And given an equal footing resource-wise, a war between the Glorious Strategist and the Illusive Man would be interesting - and devastating.
I'm just glad they quit with the Paladin Face-Heel Turn. It's been done to death.

I know you have a lot on your plate right now, but when you get some breathing space, give 'em a shot.
