Jade Empire

Done. Enjoyable. Good ending (much better than KOTOR2), and fun little fighting/rpg game.

Ended up with Paralyzing Palm and White Demon as my main weapons. Great styles, they is.



But, Jesus, is Bioware just the M. Night Shyamalan of video game companies, or what? Admittedly, it was a good twist, nicely telegraphed (if only by people's tendency to say "Oh, so you think this is all your idea, eh?"), and the overall plot was cool.

And, the bit where Li betrays you was pretty cool. And the water dragon's body was just neat, too. And I enjoyed the vocal stylings of Nathan Fillion, Robin Haircut Downes & Armin Schimmerman. It gets an 89. It's got a beat, and you can dance to it.

Did you finish as good or evil?

Two-Sword Style and Chi Thief/Red Minister i found veddy effective.

I was noble & good. I kept the starting sword. Never used a transformation style once.

The horse-form was pretty cool, and apparently the evil is eeeeviiiiill...

The only one that I found really worth anything (and I toyed around with both Frog and Horse before giving up on them) is Jade Golem. Give it a try sometime, it's a lot of fun.

I liked it, too. Especially people who kept commenting about the 'flaw' in your fighting style.
