I've played DA:O but never the Awakening expansion which I've heard is pretty good.

I think back then most people were complaining that its only more of the same. Now looking back it was at least a proper expansion and not DLC garbage.

Why are you talking about DAO as if it's a done deal?

What if Underrail wins.

I wonder if there's any good mods for Jade Empire in this day and age.
It's a good game, it just had the misfortune of being made primarily as a console game.
It has a tremendous amount of soul.

I remember being ****** at how the added mechanical content (new specializations, whatever) weren't integrated well at all, but the expansion campaign itself was solid, provided one enjoyed DA:O to begin with.

I remember looking into it, but from what I've seen there were very few mods for the game. IIRC there was a total of 1 (one) mod that wasn't some texture upscale, patch to get the game working on modern systems or insubstantial change.

Be honest, you only say so because he went for yellowish-beige instead of flat white.

It's comforting to see that we will also have our own little US Presidental Election of 2024 here, with vote rigging and ballot stuffing.

Only Jade Empire left to play (from the options available), yet I don't want to vote for it. Hmm...
