No. I mean that it's easier to find what I'm looking for, the mods there (at least the big ones) tend to have good documentation and F.A.Q's, there's plenty of screenshots, I tend to scan through the comment section to make sure there aren't any big problems, et cetera.

This is exactly what I do before installing any mod and I'm familiar with the Nexus, although the, relatively, recent changes to the way comments are laid is a little confusing. 

I've skimmed through the Steam Workshop a few times but I feel like a dog trying to learn new tricks.  Also I'm not a fan of auto updating when it comes to mods.  I still manually download, install and patch Nexus mods.

Yep, the steam sale would have to happen when the Aus. dollar drops below the Us, darn it.   Resisted a lot of stuff and mainly went for things that my husband and I had been interested in, possibly, getting at some stage like XCOM Enemy Unknown and Counter-Strike (complete package).  Also got two other games mainly because they were cheap, Hitman Absolution and Just Cause 2. 

I'm waiting for Dishonored and Deus Ex Human Revolution to drop even more in price before thinking about picking them up and that's about it at this stage.

 

From what I understand, strongholds are now a GO!

 

That's correct, it was confirmed by Brian Fargo on Twitter.

Yay!   I liked that in PsT the nameless one had a room where he could store stuff he wasn't using, like previous body parts that he'd been attached    to.

Please reach 4 million, please reach 4 million..... 

It did that already, as technically even thought the kickstarter now says it to be 3.95 mils, it's actually 4.15 mils as Brian Fargo has put 100,000 and Steve Dengler put the same amount as the kickstarter pot went so well.

The Brian Fargo and Steve Dengler contributions are definitely not going to be included in the tally.  The paypal amounts count towards the total tally and stretch goals though.   Kickstarter amount just went past 4.057 mil. and paypal is around 130 thousand ish (I think).  4.25 is doable but 4.5 mil might be pushing it now with only 2 hours to go.

For those who care, GOG.com is now carrying Neverwinter Nights 2 (including Mask of the Betrayer, Storm of Zehir, and Mysteries of Westgate). 

 

At the moment, it is on sale at $14.99.  Be aware it is large (6.9 GB)

Thanks for the heads up on this, Bri!   It's finally motivated me to join GOG.  I've been looking for a decently priced copy of the main game and in particular MotB for a while now.

It's a big download and my connection is a bit iffy.  Does anyone have any experience with the GOG downloader?  Does it help with such large files or is it dodgy?
