Spoiler :

That's pretty landscapes.
I think the last straw for me was one of the Sniper Elite games. You could wipe out an entire enemy installation, just by shooting one guy and then waiting 3-4 minutes for the entire group to 'reset' before shooting the next one. I tried returning the game, but I'd missed the window. iirc, the old Thief games addressed the issue by making you almost worthless in a standup fight against a soldier who had chainmail and a helmet, but at the same time your missions almost always involved stealing an item or crossing an area undetected, and a lot of your tools were designed to avoid a fight (one of my favorites was the "moss arrow" that would cause a big patch of moss to grow over creaky floorboards in a couple of seconds, muffling your footsteps - one can imagine a guard or a servant coming upon a big patch of moss in the hallway the next morning and going "WTH?"). The overall design of the game kind of worked around the fact that the guards were essentially mindless. Games that use robot sentries or zombies kind of do the same thing; the fact that the guards are stupid and predictable makes sense, in context. I think there was a stealth game in which guards and civilians would alert on any bodies, but you could pick up a dead or unconscious person and set them down in a closet or under a stair. Maybe that was also Thief.My favorite is when they would do that after getting shot or seeing another guard get shot.
"Hmm someone just shot me in the shoulder so we clearly have an armed infiltrator on the base, but I can't find him so I guess I'll just go back to my rounds and not report this to anyone".
Elite mercenaries my butt.
Yes, that game is gorgeous.That's pretty landscapes.

You have some really amazing skills.Who knew that playing an early 2000s horse game that is no longer commercially available (unless you pay $50 for a used copy) could be so difficult?
First, some ******* had replaced the installer with a trojan. This is why I always run files from unknown sources through VirusTotal. The rest of the files were untampered (which makes me wonder why someone would go to the effort of doing this), so I was able to drop in a clean InstallShield and get it installed.
Then the game wouldn't run, with an error about initializing Direct3D. Pulled out DxWnd (which was just once a tool to get games into windowed mode but has expanded into pretty much an entire suite of compatibility tweaks) and actually manage to get the game running!
Except for the pesky problem of instantly crashing to desktop with another Direct3D error whenever I try to save. Yeah....
Well I spent three hours playing when the patch went live and stepped out to get some dinner and watch Rachel Maddow. Then it will back to the game for a few hours.So how long before we see you again?
So I have a pregnancy hack that allows elder Sims to get pregnant. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually add elder pregnancy clothing.And I don't have any no-censor mods, either.
